Jorge Lozano Introduction Almost all living things have a normal daily cycle they adhere to. It usually relates to the pattern developed by a function of time in relation to behavioral and physiological processes. Circadian rhythm in all mammals is a process that describes our inner master “clock” and our daily functionality. “Circadian timing is structured in such a way as to receive information from the external and internal environments‚ and its function is the timing organization of the

Most psychoactive drugs affect a single type of receptor or neurotransmitter‚ i.e.‚ anandamide receptor for marijuana; endorphin receptor for heroin; or norepinephrine‚ epinephrine‚ and dopamine neurotransmitters for cocaine. Alcohol on the other hand interacts with receptors‚ neurotransmitters‚ cell membranes‚ intracellular signaling enzymes‚ and even genes (Fay‚ 1998). Since 80% of the alcohol drunk passes through

A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen‚ usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words‚ with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n. The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. In general‚ the monosaccharides and disaccharides‚ which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates‚ are commonly referred to as sugars.

Feedback Mechanisms How do organisms regulate complex systems through chemical interactions? Why? The heating system of a house works to keep the temperature constant. If the house gets too cold‚ then the heat automatically turns on to warm the house. The heat stops when the preset temperature is reached. This is an example of a feedback mechanism. Organisms use many feedback mechanisms to either maintain or amplify important chemical systems. This could happen at a molecular level to coordinate
