6 ingredients for a healthy lifestyle Is your nutrition healing or harming you? The quest for healthy living is not a sprint but a marathon. It takes a learning curve that begins with setting the tone on the right foundation. 6 building blocks make this foundation. This is a fact backed by centuries of research done in the field of medicine and nutrition. When you become familiar with the functions of these building blocks within the human body, it provides you with the framework to make…

Our Air is something we take for granted as opposed to food or water we don’t really contemplate much about it. Similar to the way we breathe it’s just a part of our life whether we consciously think about it or not. Comparable to our subconscious breathing is the autonomous effects polluted air can have on just about every aspect of the world. Its indisputable to say all of you know in our lifetime, environmental concerns revolving around our expenditure of fossil fuels and the effects it has…

amino acid? This is determined by start codon that will indicate the amino acid. This again depends on another concept known as the reading frame. The start codon signals the start of the translation process. Generally, the start codon specifies the methionine amino acid. Hence, mostly polypeptides start with an amino…

Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most widely consumed staple foods in the world. It is especially popular in Asia. Rice serves as a major source of carbohydrate to consumers. Besides that, rice provides vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and vitamin B6 to consumers (United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, 2015). Rice can be broadly grouped into two main subspecies: indica and japonica. The indica subspecies are long and slender, while japonica grains are…

Carbohydrates are the molecular compounds that are made of three elements that include hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen (Baxter 10). The glucose and the sucrose are essential but are comparatively small molecules with RNA, DNA, glycoproteins, glycolipids, and ATP as other molecules. Carbohydrates are called the sugars in many cases, which provide a source of energy for the body cells, for instance, glucose and starch. The giant carbohydrates are building block, for instance, glycogen and cellulose.…

A female Mini Schnauzer named Maggie and found that after a while of having her, she started chewing on her back & legs with some spots on her looking pretty raw. We examined her and knew she didn't have fleas and we started to worry that her hair wouldn't grow back in the raw areas. We decided to take her to the vet to see what was wrong. The vet had the usual answer of the dog has allergies and could either give her shots (expensive) or try a cream/lotion. We decided to go to the pet store…

Proteins Proteins are large, complex macromolecules that play many important roles in organisms. They are required for the regulation, structure, and function of the body’s organs and tissues. Some may act as antibodies, chemical messengers, enzymes, structural components, and transport devices within the cell. Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller subunits known as amino acids. Amino acids are made up of a single carbon atom attached to a carboxyl group, an amino group, and a…

Possible Modifications of Central Dogma of molecular Biology Introduction The central dogma of molecular biology is describes the transfer of genetic information within a biological system and was first stated by Francis Crick in 1956. The central dogma is the flow of genetic information as ‘’DNA makes the RNA and RNA makes the protein.’’All biological cells with few exceptions in some follow this rule. This flow takes place through three fundamental processes: replication, transcription and…

Wilson Disease is also known as Hepatolendicular Degeneration. “Wilson Disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in accumulation of copper in the liver as a consequence of mutations in the gene encoding the copper- transporting P-Type ATPASE (ATP7B)” (Wooton-Kee et al.,2015). Wilson Disease is inherited and begins between the early mid ages, affecting very few people. This disease is not common and is a very rare disease. Wilson disease starts as a result of copper poisoning…
