radicle begins to grow. The radicle bursts through micropyle on the side of the testa (seed coat) during the first 3-4 days of germination. It pushes its way through soil below using energy from the cotyledons, which is converted to ATP using cell respiration. Finding water is the radicles main objective. The radicle is heterotrophic, which means that it is able to locate water and grow towards water. It grows down to try and locate as much water as it can. Water is required for growth of the…

The Aldrete score has five sets with scoring range from zero to two, those five sets are colour, consciousness, respiration, activity and circulation. If patient has scored 10, nurse moves patient to phase recover II, and then patient is assessed for vital signs, mental status, pain and intake output. As Joan is still have high score of pain, low blood pressure, high…

pyruvate is converted to Acetaldehyde. Then, Alcohol Dehydrogenase comes in and reduces NADH+H+ to NAD+, and Acetaldehyde is converted into Ethanol. The body converts Pyruvate to Ethanol because not enough oxygen is in supply to go through Aerobic Respiration; therefore the body must obtain energy from somewhere. This fermentation process regenerates NAD+ which powers glycolysis. From glycolysis, the body gains about 2 molecules of ATP, so not a lot of energy comes from the consumption of…

Sepsis. Our patient was started on Fluids, antibiotics and steroids. When we received her lactate came back at 4.2. Her vital signs were not any better. She was still a febrile, hrs running in the 130-140’s, Bp around 80-90’s / 40-50’s with her respirations mid 30’s. The NP was ordering a large bolus of fluids, continuing the antibiotics and steroids. We had noticed swelling in her left leg with heat and redness. A stat CT was ordered. The NP was question bacteremia due to a wound in the…

Basal Metabolism Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy expenditure required per unit of time that is necessary to conduct involuntary bodily functions such as respiration, blood circulation, muscle tone, maintain body temperature, and ultimately maintain life. The human body requires energy to sustain proper body fluids and nutrients that preserve life and health. An individual’s basal metabolism can be determined by finding their basal metabolic rate. According to Respiratory Care…

contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements. The functions of these organelles are extremely similar between the two classes of cells (peroxisomes perform additional complex functions in plant cells having to do with cellular respiration). However, the few differences that exist between plant and animals are very significant and reflect a difference in the functions of each cell.Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They…

Carbon Dioxide, is a natural occurring chemical compound that consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. On Earth carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from respiration, combustion of coal or hydrocarbons, and respiration. However most of the carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere is removed by organisms that conduct photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the processes in which organisms, such as, plants, algae and cyanobacteria (bacteria that obtain their energy from…

1) Richard is remodeling his room. He wants to know which tile is the strongest and that will last the longest. To test the experiment, Richard will drop a 1lb rock, 2lb rock and a 6lb bowling ball. Whichever tile that breaks he will not use, and the most durable one, he will use. The independent variable is the durability and the dependent variable is the weight Richard will be putting one, since its changing. He starts with Tile Type One he first drop the 1lb rock, there is no visible crack.…

atmosphere as either carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) (An inconvenient truth, pg. 22).Two gases that are known for their excellent abilities at trapping radiation from the Sun. There are two processes known as aerobic respiration, that releases carbon dioxide, and anaerobic respiration, which releases methane. Both of these are done by any living organism. In the case of permafrost however, since it dwells mostly underground in the soil, it lies with microbial bacteria. You see, over…

Background: Photosynthesis is the process by which photoautotrophs convert photons of kinetic light energy into potential chemical energy (food) by synthesizing glucose from water and carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen as a waste product. Sunlight radiation travels in waves but acts like particles of energy called photons. During photosynthesis, these photons are harvested to produce chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. Autotrophs are “self-feeder” organisms that make their own…
