Long Term Problems of Stress Stress is something we all deal with in our everyday lives. Some people have a lot of stress, while others have very little. It all depends on what your life is like and how you handle stress. Though we have stress in our day to day lives, many are unaware of the health risks and long term problems that follow stress. Stress is defined as, “the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events (Myers).” Stress can come from anywhere, whether it be a job,…

What is the 24 Day Challenge? The 24 Day Challenge diet is a detox and weight loss program made by a company called “Advocare.” It is supposed to help an obese person lose a good amount of weight in a short period of time. The company claims that its program is based on the principle that a person cannot lose weight if their body is full of toxins and chemicals that are slowing down their liver and gastrointestinal system. How Did the 24 Day Challenge Start? Advocare was started as a…

The Identification of Two Unknown Bacteria Mixtures Through the Method of Characteristic Testing and Elimination Khoa Vuong TA: Charlie Roll Micro 3301 4/11/24. Abstract: There is a surplus amount of microorganisms that are out there in the world. A single swab of any surface, including the human body, will yield many different types of microorganisms. Once grown on a nutrient-rich medium, the identification of these microorganisms can be made by isolating pure colonies and performing and using…

Sign tracking is the tendency to approach a stimulus that is predictive of food. There have been several studies that have examined this phenomenon in rats as rearing toward a light stimulus predictive of food. The purpose of this study was to provide further research of this phenomenon in Long-Evans rats. Holland (1977) performed one of the earlier studies on Pavlovian conditioned responses. The purpose of his study was to examine how the characteristics of a conditioned stimulus (CS)…

The structure and function of carbohydrates (25 Marks) Carbohydrates are made from Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). A monosaccharide is the monomer sub unit of carbohydrates and can be joined together through a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond between the two monomers which is known as a disaccharide. The above diagram shows a condensation reaction taking place. There is a reaction between two monomer sub units, in this case α-glucose and ethanol, which involves the…

Carbohydrates are the molecular compounds that are made of three elements that include hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen (Baxter 10). The glucose and the sucrose are essential but are comparatively small molecules with RNA, DNA, glycoproteins, glycolipids, and ATP as other molecules. Carbohydrates are called the sugars in many cases, which provide a source of energy for the body cells, for instance, glucose and starch. The giant carbohydrates are building block, for instance, glycogen and cellulose.…

The purpose of this lab is to understand the effect that dissolved impurities will have on the freezing point of a mixture and what additive will affect the the freezing point the most. The freezing point of a liquid is, the point of a substance when the temperature of the solid and the liquid is equal. When water freezes the water molecules become organized and come closer together forming crystal particles of ice.When a solute (like salt) and a solvent (like water) mix together the salt…

Hereditary fructose intolerance was first noticed and reported in an adult woman in 1956 by Chambers and Pratt (HFI). Chambers and Pratt observed that the woman started having faintness, nausea and abdominal pain after consuming fructose and sugar (HFI). However, those symptoms disappeared when the woman ate glucose instead (HFI). After a series of testings with different sugars, Chambers and Pratt believed that this woman was “idiosyncrasy to fructose”, but they never thought it would be…

“Free sugars refer to monosaccharides (such as glucose, fructose) and disaccharides (such as sucrose or table sugar) added to food and drinks… and sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit concentrates” (WHO). Despite this report, sugar lobbyists recommend 25 percent which is two and half times the scientific recommendation…

Discussion The various test that were completed had supporting evidence that deduced the identity of the unknown microorganism. A gram stain was performed on the bacterium and a purple color was seen under the microscope. The purple hue that was acquired by the unknown microorganism indicated that the organism had a thick peptidoglycan layer meaning that the bacterium was gram positive. Looking under the microscope helped to identify the cellular arrangement of the bacterium which was sphere…
