of micro-organisms that are in the human digestive system. Article of choice‚ (Adnan‚ 2010) Benefits of Microorganisms to Humans‚ Retrieved February 8‚ 2013. This article was of interest because there are many bacteria that we encounter in our daily lives and it was informative to know that all bacteria is not bad. In fact‚ there needs to be a balance between the two and by educating yourself with the smallest amount of new information is very helpful. Humans rely on micro-organisms for a variety

The importance of carbohydrates in living organisms Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide

Genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins or RNA molecules. These genes are the genetic material that is passed down from generation to generation in all species. The individual DNA segments each individual carries are

This paper is about how the plant cells and solar cells are similar to each other as well as how they are different to one another. In addition this paper explains how the laws of thermodynamics apply to each of the plant and solar cells system. Plant Cells and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process of producing and releasing oxygen in the air. It needs sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and

Human Is A Complex Organism Human beings are complex and special organisms as there is a complex organisation of cells in the human body. The organisation in the human body is summarised as follows: Cells—> Tissues—> Organs—> Systems—> Organism.The same type of cells which carry out a specific function are organised into a tissue. For example‚ a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform specific functions as the result of cells in the human body do

When listening to the patient I would expect to hear crackles and wheezing. 2. Normal oxygen saturation is 95% to 100%. 3.Since the patient does have a history of diabetes and asthma‚ he has a higher risk of contracting viruses due to the fact that diabetes lowers your immune response‚ and asthma causes your airway to become more sensitive.

[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential
