Evaluate the impact of care in the community for adults with Mental Health problems. Care in the community is where a patient is no longer detained nor sectioned within a hospital institution. However‚ there must be at least three practitioners agreeing that it is necessary for the patient to be released into the community. Adults who may suffer from mental health problems can ask to be cared for within the community. Patients and their families are now more educated with a sense of empowerment

Discuss the chain of events that led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. Ans> The chain of events led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. In the late nineteenth century‚ a German biochemist Friedrich Miescher found the nucleic acids which are long-chain polymers of nucleotides‚ and are made up of sugar‚ phosphoric acid‚ and several nitrogen-containing bases. Later it was found

Emulsifiers What does an emulsifier do? Emulsions in food are mixtures of oil and water. These normally do not mix and will separate if left without an emulsifier. Emulsifiers are among the most frequently used types of food additives. They are used for many reasons. Emulsifiers can help to make a food appealing. The example of the mayonnaise without the emulsifier shows how unappealing it would be if the oil and water separated before it was used. Emulsifiers have a big effect on the structure

2. The connection between what Wyatt Transgenics Company does‚ and the reference to the comic “The Swamp Thing” is‚ that they both have to deal with organisms that undergo some sort of manipulation. “The Swamp thing is an example of this. (Page 64-65) 3. The meaning of transgenic is when an organism is altered by having a gene from another species transferred into it. (Page 64) 4. The scientists make the animals develop the desired proteins by‚ putting original human genes in to the animals

THE KEY ROLES OF CELL DIVISION The ability of organisms to reproduce best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The continuity of life is based on reproduction of cells‚ or cell division. In unicellular organisms like amoeba‚ division of one cell reproduces the entire organism. Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: — Development from a fertilized cell — Growth — Repair Cell division is an integral part of the

Hook: Since the dawn of time man has consumed foods which were given to us by nature but now in the modern age we resort to consuming foods which were partly made in a chemist’s beaker. Direction of Arguments: Food additives have were in use for centuries in process of pickling or preserving using vinegar or salt but recently it has taken a turn for the worst invading almost all the processed foods we consume. Arguments: 1. Lead to physiological disorders 2. Are known to cause to foods to
