Congenital Heart Defects in Children Congenital heart defects in children are frightening conditions that are yet to be understood fully by cardiologists (Mayo Clinic). Ranging from a benign murmur to complete cardiac arrest‚ congenital heart defects are important disorders to be educated about (Fulton). Because of the potential severity of these illnesses‚ one should understand what is thought to cause this‚ forms of it‚ the risk involved‚ precautionary measures‚ and what the prognosis is. By

ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is reduced or can be stopped if the temperature becomes

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the link between Zika virus and birth defects such as microcephaly‚ which has affected about 5‚000 children in Brazil. The CDC said that now they had enough evidence to conclude that the virus does cause microcephaly and other birth defects‚ if the mothers are infected during pregnancy. "We’ve now confirmed what mounting evidence has suggested‚ affirming our early guidance to pregnant women and their partners to take steps to avoid Zika

expected since the normal pH of saliva is 6 to 7 (Humphrey and Williamson‚ 2001). When testing the enzymatic action of saliva‚ we observed at the end of the experiment‚ that a yellow-red precipitate formed which indicated that sugars were present. The reason that sugars were found and not starch‚ is because saliva contains an enzyme known as salivary amylase which catalyses the breakdown of starch to produce sugars such as maltose (Sherwood‚ 2013). When testing the effect of the salivary amylase concentration
