Introduction Climate change has affected South Australia in a number of factors. It has affected the land, water, air, people, animals and vegetation, and the weather. All levels of government (local, state, and federal) need to be aware of the destruction climate change will cause (Commonwealth of Australia, 2011). In regards to climate change, a stigma needs to be stopped. It is a fact that some people believe climate change is a hoax. This makes an important cause to take appropriate actions…
viable alternatives to the major commodity plant oils. Algal oils are similarly unlikely to be economic; the cheapest form of cultivation is in open ponds, which then requires a robust, fast-growing alga that can withstand contaminating bacteria and protozoa and gain an oil content of at least 40% of the biomass. No such alga has identified yet. However, if the prices of the major plant oils and crude oil continue to rise in the future, just…
vulnerable to pollution just as much as water surfaces, but are less obvious to the issue.” Another form of pollution is Microbiological water pollution, which is a natural form of water pollution caused by microorganisms such as Bacteria, Viruses, Protozoa etc. These types of microorganisms live in water and have diseases that affect the health of fish, land animals and humans resulting in polluted waters. Also, oxygen depletion can be caused by some of these microorganisms that feed on…
Solution for Antibiotic Resistance So knowing the history about the discovery of antibiotics and what was the main purpose of this drug will put your mind at ease. Like I stated earlier, our society take antibiotics for any reason. One of the best solution is to take a broader view of the microbes. Microbes which are single-cell organisms so tiny that millions can fit into the eye of a needle. They are the oldest form of life on earth. Microbe is a term for tiny creatures that…
Part One 1. Amanda - Acupuncture 2. Acupuncture uses solid metallic needles that are placed by hands or electrical stimulation. These needles are placed on different points on the body through the skin to help with a variety of symptoms. 3. In the America’s, acupuncture is often used for chronic pain such as: low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It may also help with tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. 4. There is a controversy whether or not this type of…
Peter Singer is a well-known ethicist who rights about his thoughts that animals and humans should have equal interests. Before deciding to debate this topic I took the time to read Singer’s “All Animals are Equal”. After reading this I believe that Singer ignored the reality of nature to build his argment; however, one cannot just simply “forget” the irreversible acts of nature. There is a great debate over wether animals should have rights that are equal to a humans rights. In Singer’s theory…
Introduction The human body is populated by a large aggregate of microbes on the skin as well as many mucosal surfaces. They are composed of mainly bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. These commensal microorganisms live in the human body in symbiosis. Microbiota play a functional role in the health and disease of an individual. Roughly there are around 1012 bacteria found on the skin, primarily staphylococci and corynebacteria, and 1010 found in the mouth, primarily, streptococci, lactobacilli.1 But…
Bio-filtration Bio-filter is considered the most important and efficient separation process that is used in the elimination of organic pollutants from water sources. The article focus on the biological processes that are used in bio-filtration and determination of their effectiveness (Acero, 2009). Full-scale laboratory applications of wastewater treatment and bio-filter are discussed and compared with their pollutant removal ability. Filtration is defined as necessary treatment process used…
Microbiology is the study of small organisms and or non living particles that are unseen to the naked eye. The microbes range from bacteria, to protozoa, parasites to virus. After studying them, scientists are able to identify various illnesses that are associated with microbes. These microbes are either directly or indirectly involved in most diseases. These in retrospect to their names cause bacterial infections, parasitical infections, fungal infections and viral infections. However, although…
Microbes - bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses - have been around for at least 3,500 million years and were the only life forms on Earth for most of that time. Microbiology is the study of these small organisms. A microorganism or microbe is an organism that is microscopic. The development of the microscope, along with the observations of various scientists, led to the discovery of microorganisms. It is thanks to Van Leeuwenhoek who is largely credited with the discovery of…
