Nitrogen

They have to get rid of their soluble solutes so their waste products are more concentrated. They are able to do this by the use of nitrogenous waste products and excrete most of their nitrogen as uric acid instead of urine. - A conformer is an animal that maintains an internal condition and conforms to changes in accordance with changes in an environmental variable. A regulator is an animal has mechanisms of homeostasis moderate internal…

Sloths are mostly known for their lazy behavior that consists of eating, hanging and sleeping in trees. Most of the time they are not seen doing ‘noteworthy’ actions but contrary to what many people may think, sloths do have something interesting about them even if all they do is sleep and eat. While cheetahs are the fastest mammals on earth and chameleons can blend into the background, sloths have an interesting ecosystem nestled within their fur. Insects, bacteria and other organisms all…

Introduction The proper identification of microbes is an important practice in the medical field as well as other areas of research. Isolation of microbes from a mixed culture broth was performed with the finding of two different microbes; Escherichia coli and Sporosarcina ureae. The isolation process was performed by streaking a mixed culture onto a nutrient agar plate, then transferring the isolated cultures after incubation for biochemical testing. S. ureae is discussed below. Biography…

3.2. Chemical quality parameters and pH value:- 3.2.1. Chemical quality properties, pH values and total plate count (TPC):- Total volatile basic -nitrogen (TVB-N), the peroxide value (PV), pH and total plate count (TPC) are good index to determine the freshness and quality of fishes and their products. Data presented in Table (4) show the values of TVB-N, PV,…

dry matter is the corrected value in order to allow for acids, volatile acids and other components that lost on oven drying. The crude protein which is determined from the total nitrogen of silage is 88.33 (g/kg DM). The value of the acid detergent fibre which is a measurement of lingin, cellulose and lignified nitrogen is 306.79 (g/kg DM). The neutral detergent fibre of the silage was 552.40(g/kg DM) and is an indicator of forage intake potential which declines as NDF value increases. The pH…

By collaborating our work from various resources, we established that antibiotics have harmful side effects on the environment. When animals are administered antibiotics, it kills off other bacteria and allows antibiotic resistant bacteria to survive and multiply. This causes contamination of animal waste, which then comes into contact with water, soil, or air (Food, Farm, Animals, and Drugs 2014). Horizontal gene transfer is also a big concern for the environment. In recent years, there has…

Death Penalty or Torture Penalty? Lethal injection is the popular way of executing inmates, as it is deemed a more humane way to complete the capital punishment sentence, but recent executions suggest otherwise. Lethal injection was first used in Nazi Germany by physicians who were ordered to euthanize disabled kids. It was through the Nazi Euthanasia program; it put to death kids and adults who were considered a hindrance to their society. Poison gas soon replaced euthanasia because it was…

urban areas” [7]. Carbon monoxide is a colourless, poisonous gas that is formed when fossil fuels like natural gas, petroleum and coal burn. Furthermore, all manufacturing plants, industries and automobiles emit toxic pollutants like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide among others, contributing to generation of acid rain [3]. Air pollution is also present in rural areas, as dust flies in the field at the time of farming and toxic gases are emitted by tractors [2]. Furthermore,…

has the ability to make hygrogen bonds. These are the weak, yet plentiful, bonds a hydrogen atom can make with a negative atom like oxygen or nitrogen. If you don't remember hygrogen bonds, please look them up. They are not ionic bonds nor covalent bonds, but rather weak attractive forces between hydrogen and a semi-negative charged oxygen or nitrogen. Hydrogen bonds are one of the major reasons we have life on earth. Hydrogen bonds give water its properties including how water molecules…

Lake Winnipeg is measured to be about 24514 square kilometres, located in Manitoba Canada and its southern tip is about 55kilometres north of the city of Winnipeg. It is the largest lake within the borders of the southern Canada, Lake Winnipeg is also the sixth-largest fresh water lake in Canada. Lake Winnipeg consists of two distinct basins, the north basin which makes up approximately 75% o f the lake surface area and reaches 100 kilometres wide, while the south basin is up to 46 kilometres…
