to fish oil in a multitude of ways, the main one being the presence of an antioxidant astaxanthin10. Astaxanthin defends cells and DNA10. Krill oil is also significantly easier for the human body to absorb than fish oil is10. Krill oil is in phospholipid form, which is what is found naturally in the human body10. However, fish oil is in triglyceride form, which creates a barrier around the actual beneficial part of the oil10. In addition, fish oil has more mercury content in it than krill…
while some can’t. The cell membrane consists of two phospholipid bilayers. Each layer has an electrically charged, hydrophilic head, while the tail is an uncharged hydrophobic. The electrically charged head of these layers face toward the water as the uncharged tails face each other. This makes it easier for small, neutrally-charged molecules to pass through the cell membrane as opposed to charged and larger molecules. Within the phospholipid bilayer there is embedded proteins which form a…
Ernst Boris Chain was fascinated with science, just like his father, but when Adolf Hitler came into power, Ernst Boris Chain was forced to flee to Great Britain in order to further his studies instead of being forced into a concentration camp. Ernst Boris Chain was “the son of a wealthy chemist,” and as he was growing up in Berlin, “Chain became interested in chemistry while he was a student at the Luisengymnasium in Berlin” (World of Health; Science and Its Times). While in school, “both his…
The zoogliamass uses some phosphorous to create new phospholipid bilayers (cell parts of new microorganisms), when the bacteria reproduce. The water is then pumped to secondary clarifiers. Here, water slows down and waste is able to float to top or sink to bottom. A polymer is added to help bacteria clump together and settle better. Ferric chloride is also added to remove phosphorous. This is because it is attracted to phosphorus and helps to make it heavy and settle to the bottom. Part of the…
Nucleus In each cell, there is one nucleus. It is in the center of the cell, and takes up about ten percent of the cell’s volume. It is a large, oval-shaped structure bound by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. Inside the nucleus, are organelles called nucleoli, which assemble RNA and synthesize ribosomal subunits. Throughout the inside of the nucleus, is a substance called the nucleoplasm, which suspends the nucleus’ structures. The nucleus controls the activities of the cell to…
Lesson 5: Structures, Functions and Roles of Biological Molecules and Enzyme Activity in Metabolism Biological Molecules/Macromolecules Plants produce their own food through photosynthesis. They manufacture mainly carbohydrates (glucose) as a source of food of many higher organisms in the food chain. It is one of the many biological molecules present in plants and needed by animals. Biological molecules are macromolecules composed of many monomers (polymer) connected through a covalent bond…
and then travels to the end of the motor neuron. The motor end plate is protected by a phospholipid bilayer that has acetylcholine receptors that allow acetylcholine to flow from the synaptic cleft into the motor end plate. When acetylcholine attaches to the acetylcholine receptors, it activates sodium channels to open. Sodium channels open…
Nursing Diagnosis Lorenzo was not feeding properly, due to impaired swallowing which results in neuromuscular impairment. Interventions Brain MRIs needs to be monitored for children’s every six to twelve months for identify the early signs of disease progression. Make sure that the parents/caregivers providing required health maintenance to Lorenzo’s diet/supplements on schedule. Always keeping Lorenzo happy doing the things which he like reading books or playing music. Confirm…
Mitochondria was first discovered in 1856 by Swiss anatomist Van Kölliker. Dr. Kölliker while he was conducting a study on muscle tissue (Giezen, Page 1). He found these “sacrosomes” which would later become known as mitochondria. When scientist first started discovering mitochondria they were extremely fascinated with all of the various structures of the mitochondria (Giezen, Page 1). Early scientist posted numerous theories of the origin of mitochondria. One of these theories was that…
Fats or triglycerides are very important macro nutrients found in food, they give important energy for the body to work properly. Part of a good diet is consuming these two essential fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid) and linolenic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). They are indispensable for brain development, control of inflammation and blood clotting. When fats or other lipids are consumed they go undigested until they reach the small intestine. Bile is an emulsifier that breaks…
