Bacteria are ubiquitous in every habitat on Earth‚ growing in soil‚ acidic hot springs‚ radioactive waste‚[2] water‚ and deep in the Earth’s crust‚ as well as in organic matter and the live bodies of plants and animals. There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of fresh water; in all‚ there are approximately five nonillion (5×1030) bacteria on Earth‚[3] forming a biomass on

The Effects of Caffeine on the Human Body I. In a quote by Eddie Vedder‚ I read "Caffeine‚ the Gateway drug." Around 90 percent of Americans consume caffeine every single day in one form or another. Consuming as little as 100 mg of caffeine a day can lead a person to become "dependent" on caffeine‚ yet it is legal and unregulated in many jurisdictions. Making it the most popular drug by far. In this speech I am going to explain how caffeine affects the Human body. II. Caffeine is believed to work

INTRODUCTION RedTacton is a new Human Area Networking technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe‚ high speed network transmission path. RedTacton involves initiating communication with a touch that could result in a wide range of actions in response. RedTacton uses the minute electric field emitted on the surface of the human body. Technically‚ it is completely distinct from wireless and infrared. Name of this technology consist of two parts. “Tacton”

statistical based evidence was difficult to come across‚ although what was found was evaluated and analysed. There are three main arguments of this essay: exploitation of the poor‚ loss of altruistic donors leading to the commodification of the human body and autonomy. The research conducted indicated that providing financial incentives has many more disadvantages than advantages. Based on these findings‚ financial incentives for organ donation should not be implemented nor considered. The demand

As of now‚ in a census done by the Worlds Health Organization‚ 5‚177 people have died in that area of the world as of November 11‚ 2014. The virus is the worst in West Africa but it has spread to other parts of the world including America. From a biological basis the virus is remarkable. Ebola‚ when it invades your body‚ shuts down the immune system using a basic protein. After the immune system is suppressed

There are a great many synthetic chemicals invented in the last 100 years or so that simply did not exist before. The wonders of modern science and industry have come at a cost to human health. Often‚ we simply do not know exactly what these substances do to people. There may not be enough of a track record to fully understand them. In other cases‚ we know they harm human health and even

The human body is a remarkable species‚ capable of doing some of the most amazing things known to man. It requires a lot of energy and the organisms that make it up constantly have a task to perform. One of the most important functions in the human body is called cellular respiration. It is defined as a process in which cells take the food humans ingest and turn it into energy that can be used by the body in the form of ATP‚ also known as‚ adenosine triphosphate. The creation and distribution of

The Importance of Water Water is important to the mechanics of the human body. The body cannot work without it‚ just as a car cannot run without gas and oil. In fact‚ all the cell and organ functions that make up our entire anatomy and physiology depend on water for their functioning. Water serves as a lubricant in digestion and almost all other body processes. The water in our saliva helps facilitate chewing and swallowing‚ ensuring that food will slide easily downs the esophagus. Water also
