Animal rightsPros and cons of animal experiments Personaly I don’t think that there are many pros about this subject‚ but I’ve written down a few. Pros: There are vaccines for most of the diseases. Like the ones you’ll recive when you’re an infant‚ wich are very important. If you have a deadly disease‚ like cancer for example‚ you can prolong your life for years‚ if you discover it early enough. Thanks to the science and research with animals. In some cases you can also help sick

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

Carbohydrate Metabolism Carbohydrate metabolism starts with digestion in the small intestines. This is the site where monosaccharides are absorbed into the blood stream. This type of metabolism is basically considered to be glucose metabolism because carbohydrates are eventually broken down into glucose so that it can diffuse into the blood stream. There are three hormones in the body that control the concentration on glucose in the body: Insulin‚ glucagon‚ and epinephrine. If sugars are too

The Stroop Effect Experiment In 1935‚ John Ridley Stroop conducted the original experiments of the stroop effect. The stroop effect is an effect that occurs when individuals attempt to name the color of words that spell out a conflicting color. Stroop reported an interference effect when individuals were asked to report the color of words presented to them. Stroop collected his data by showing his participants a sheet of paper with printed words on it. He then asked his participant’s to name the

Metabolism Figure 1 above is adapted from João M‚ et al (2012) the chromatographic methodologies for analysis of cocaine and its metabolites which‚ shows the metabolic pathway of cocaine administrated. Cocaine is largely metabolized into two major metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE) and ecgonine methyl ester (EME) and two minor metabolites norcocaine (NCOC) and m- and p-hydroxycocaine (OH-COC) (Goldstein et al.‚ 2009). Benzoylecgonine is primarily produce in the liver by human carbozylerstrase type

MSc Sustainable Community Design Heriot Watt University/ Findhorn Foundation College Q. Discuss the mechanisms for developing a circular metabolism in an urban environment and how these feed into the development of a sustainable community. INTRODUCTION The majority of cities today display a linear metabolism: a one way flow with resources and food coming in and waste products being pumped out. Food is brought into cities‚ eaten and then sewage is discharged

Metabolic syndrome Insulin resistance syndrome; Syndrome X Last reviewed: June 2‚ 2012. Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease‚ stroke‚ and type 2 diabetes. Causes‚ incidence‚ and risk factors Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in the United States. Researchers are not sure whether the syndrome is due to one single cause‚ but all of the risks for the syndrome are related to obesity. The

Simply put‚ metabolism is the process of breaking down proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and fats to yield the energy your body needs to maintain itself. The rate of your metabolism depends on the interaction between the number of calories you consume‚ the number of calories you burn while eating and exercising‚ and the calories you burn based on your individual genetic makeup. How can you increase your metabolism? Well‚ there’s not much you can do about your genes (they only account for a measly 5% of

The Role of ATP in cellular metabolism Cells are required to carry out thousands and thousands of chemical reactions just so everything will remain functioning properly. Every reaction carried out requires energy from a particular source. Cells have come up with their own way of doing this in very well-organized metabolic systems. Each cell type has its own variation of the precise mechanisms. Animals receive energy through aerobic respiration‚ where as plants deliver energy through the act of

3.1 Metabolic Load: The metabolic activities inside human body constantly create heat and humidity (i.e. perspiration). This heat passes through the body tissues and is finally released to the cabin air. This amount is considered as a heat gain by the cabin air and is called the metabolic load. The metabolic load can be calculated by Qmet = Σ MADU Passengers Where M is the passenger’s metabolic heat production rate. (It is assumed from ISO 8996 based on various criteria for driver: M = 85 W/m2
