Introduction The agricultural industry is the key industry that feeds, clothes, and keeps the population of the world comfortable in their homes. Members of this large, yet dwindling industry are faced with the challenge of feeding a rapidly growing population that is expected to reach 8.5 billion people by the year 2030. The major component fueling the agricultural industry is the soil. The very outer layer of the earth’s crust is the very one thing keeping the population thriving. While some…
To do this, red blood cells were examined in solutions of three different saline concentrations, 9% salt concentration, 1.8% salt concentration, and 0% salt concentration. A solution of 9% salt is isotonic to red blood cells. A solution of >9% salt is hypertonic to red blood cells. A solution of <9% is hypotonic to red blood cells…
Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human lactase phlorizin-hydrolase gene have been associated with the ability of certain individuals to constantly digest milk products. These mutations in the lactase gene lead to constitutive expression of lactase, which is then used to break disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose constantly throughout adulthood as lactase persistence. In particular, past research has shown that some individuals of the African and European descent have…
scientist uses a combination of the elements to formulate new compounds. For one thing, hospitals administer saline water or solution to patients. This helps to maintain tissue balance and also in the treatment of dehydration. Similarly, it can be used as a disinfectant, or for lab work. This is a combination of salt with water NaCI+H2O. The table contains the elements that are used to create saline water. Additionally, water is used in the household as well as many aspects of science. Water…
Ajax Finechem), 0.05% yeast extract (Sigma–Aldrich) and was supplemented with 0.0025% of NADH, 0.0005% of thiamine-HCl, 1% of heat inactivated chicken serum and 5% of O-A complex, which consists of 4.75% bovine serum albumin in normal saline (with the normal saline containing 0.06% oleic acid and 5% 0.05 N NaOH) (Sigma–Aldrich). It is the common media in our laboratory used for culturing hemophilic bacteria, including Av.…
Women who are interested in increasing their breast size should consider having a breast augmentation (breast implant surgery) with form-stable cohesive gel breast implants. The texture of these implants has led to their nickname, ‘gummy bear breast implants.’ Dr. Nina S. Naidu is one of the top plastic and reconstructive surgeons in the Bronx who frequently performs breast augmentation procedures with gummy bear implants. According to the most recent report released by the American Society of…
Jessica Grandier Bio 204 section 201 Case Study 1a What are the normal values for PH, Erythrocyte count, Leucocyte count, Platelet count. ( 1 point each) The normal values for PH are 7.35-7.45, the normal erythrocyte count for males is 4.7 - 6.1*10^6 /ul million and for women it is 4.2 -5.4*10^6/ ul million, Leucocyte count is 4,800-10,00 mmm^3 of blood and normal platelet count is 150,00-450,00 platelet for microliters. 1b What are the terms used for increase and decrease in PH…
as the eye-care industry is transformed. Instead of working like a contact lens, the Bionic Lens acts similarly to cataract surgery, adhering to the eye’s natural lens. The procedure can be done in an out patient office, its steps simply having a saline solution with the lens flushed into the eye with a syringe. After 10 seconds, the folded lens opens up, and moves itself over the eye’s natural lens. Webb says that immediately after the procedure, vision is totally corrected, allowing patients…
Abortion causes many different problems. A woman who goes to a clinic and has her baby aborted is at risk for psychological trouble. Post-traumatic stress disorder sometimes develops when a terrifying event happens. Though a woman that has an abortion is probably pro-choice, that does not change the fact that abortions are very frightening. Even though the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, the federal government still restricts a lot of funding for it. Like Shimabukuro (2015)…
Oxytocin is a hormone classified as a neuropeptide that is produced in the hypothalamus area of the brain and that mammals produce almost exclusively (1,2,5). From the hypothalamus, oxytocin spreads to other parts of the brain and peripheral parts of the body to influence cells and behavior. Although oxytocin has been known for almost a hundred years, research into its effects on behavior and exact function is still ongoing and has recently picked up. For many years oxytocin has been used in…
