internal body temperature of animals within a certain range. Endotherms, such as mammals and birds, thermoregulate internally by generating heat from metabolic processes and are able to keep their body temperature high and relatively constant, adapting to the environment to maintain homeostasis. This type of thermoregulation requires a high metabolic rate, that enables organisms to be more physically active without having to rely on the environment, hence increases evolutionary fitness.…
Input also known as resources could be human or financial resources as well as other necessary input to support the program. Activities are those events that produce the output. The output consists of the products and services available for the customers. The customers are the users of the products/services produced at the output level. The outcomes are benefits or changes resulting from activities and output. When it is closely related to the output, it is called short-term outcome. The further…
The YWCA is a non-profit organization in Spokane, Washington that provides women, children, and families in crisis, who are victims of domestic violence and homelessness, with access to services and emergency shelter. The YWCA’s mission is dedicated to “eliminating racism, empowering women, standing up for social justice, helping families, and strengthening communities” (YWCA Spokane, 2017). Since 1903, the Spokane YWCA has been committed to serving a wide variety of needs for women, children,…
6. What is the mechanisms of the acupuncture? In other words, what parts of CNS activated and/or deactivated? (2pts) 1) Acupuncture activates structures of descending anti-nociceptive pathway and 2) deactivates multiple limbic area subserving pain association. 7. What is the effects of opiates and opioids on nociceptor signal transmission? (2pts) Opiates 1) decrease the duration of the postsynaptic potential, probably by reducing 〖Ca〗^(2+)…
This essay will explore the efficacy of organisational policies in providing support for individuals who are affected by a significant life event. It will explore how others deal and respond to significant life events. The suitability of external sources who providing support will be evaluated. The own personal contribution during supporting an individual who experiences a significant life event will be analysed in the form of a reflection. Recommendation through improvement of support which is…
coli is by using gene knockout strategy. Gene knockout strategy is the strategy used to investigate effect of each gene in the metabolic pathway of an E. coli by deactivates certain genes function to observe their effect. Gene knockout strategy often used due to the complexity of the metabolic network in an organism which always makes the effect of genetic modification is hard to predict [4]. Gene knockout strategy is a very powerful tool in industry [5] to…
There are many metabolic pathways in each cell that different types of foods go through. However, all of these pathways oxidize the food source and yield…
absence of some essential products. Enzyme dysfunctions caused by genetic abnormalities interfere with the body 's metabolism. Missing or non-functioning enzymes in the metabolic pathway cause metabolic disorders, which are potentially lethal if left untreated. Galactosemia Galactosemia is hereditary autosomal recessive metabolic disorder triggered by missing or non-functioning galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) (Berry, 2012). GALT deficiency results in a disorder known as…
This then releases energy. Anabolism is when metabolic pathways build a molecule from the smaller molecules that had been broke down. This process requires energy and is fueled by catabolism. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process, because of the multipart molecule are formed and created by smaller less multipart…
solar energy to perform chemical reactions to form carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Humans consume plants and other animals to obtain energy. The body then uses three pathways to supply energy to the body during cellular activities. ATP/CP energy pathway, glycolytic pathway, and oxidative pathway. The ATP/CP energy pathway provide anaerobic (requires no oxygen) sources of phosphate-bond energy. Creatine phosphate (CP) is high- energy phosphate molecules that are stored in cells and…
