Aloe Vera’s Profile Lavanessa Young American Public University Whitney Elmore 06/17/14 Introduction Aloe is often described as a succulent stemless or very short-stemmed plant with a slimy and soothing sap. Binomially‚ this plant is known as Aloe vera‚ but it is a species with a good number of synonyms‚ including Aloe vulgaris‚ Aloe indica‚ Aloe perfoliata ‚ and Aloe barbadensis. It’s important to point out the fact that Carl Linnaeus was the first scientist to describe this species. Aloe vera

Abstract Organization as a living organism. This metaphor view Organizations from a Biological point of view. Organizations as living systems environment on which they are dependent on each other to satisfy various needs. When studying and comparing organization with living organism it was determined that organizations share the same concept as of a living organism. An organization needs to have the right environment in order to survive‚ adapt‚ surpass turbulence and reproduce; the cycle of

Date: 9th February‚ 2011 Title: Analysis of the Elements present in Organic Compounds Aims: To test the presence of Carbon‚ Hydrogen‚ Oxygen‚ Nitrogen and Sulfur in Organic Compounds Introduction: Organic Compounds can be considered as any compound containing carbon atoms covalently bonded with other atoms‚ usually hydrogen. Other atoms may include oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ sulfur…etc. They can be found in nature‚ since “organic” means present in‚ or derived from‚ plants and animals. Materials/

Metabolism is something that consists of both. Aerobic metabolism converts one glucose molecule

waters‚ such as lakes and streams. Phosphates are essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water from

strove to determine how effective different sugars were in fermentation by measuring their CO2 emissions. An increased CO2 production implies the substrate is undergoing glycolysis more often‚ resulting in increased ATP synthesis. For a more accurate interpretation of the results‚ glucose acted as a positive control‚ displaying the most efficiency in fermentation as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2‚ while ethanol‚ which is a byproduct of fermentation‚ acted as a negative control‚ producing no CO2. These

describe the role of energy in the body and explain the physiology of two named body system in relation to energy metabolism. It will explain where energy comes from‚ how the body uses energy‚ what is metabolism/catabolism and anabolism and also it will explain cellular respiration aerobic/anaerobic is. Energy is necessary for muscular activity and movement however‚ energy is also necessary to circulate blood and lymph and tissue fluid throughout the body; for breathing and taking in oxygen; for making

Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules

THE SEARCH FOR BETTER HEALTH 1.What is a healthy organism? Discuss the difficulties in defining the terms ‘health’ and ‘disease’ * Health – state of physical‚ mental and social wellbeing. It is not just absence of disease * disease – any condition which effects the functioning of any part of a living organism * difficulties in defining health and disease; * health 1) the definition of health varies with age eg stiffness in the joints is probably more common in a 90yo

organelle in any eukaryotic cell. It is enclosed in a double membrane and communicates with the surrounding cytosol via numerous nuclear pores. Within the nucleus is the DNA responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics. The DNA is similar in every cell of the body‚ but depending on the specific cell type‚ some genes may be turned on or off - that’s why a liver cell is different from a muscle cell‚ and a muscle cell is different from a fat cell. When a cell is dividing‚ the nuclear
