Antioxidant Effects on Reactive Oxygen Species Abstract Antioxidants are among key molecules for a healthy living. Antioxidants are molecules that prevent damage of cells through inhibition of oxidizing agents such as free radicals. This experiment was aimed at investigating the role of antioxidant on the inhibition of reactive oxygen species. To demonstrate this‚ quercetin was used as antioxidant and its effect on reactive oxygen species examined. RAW 264.7 cells were

Once the endangered animals are gone they won’t come back. They are an important role in wildlife‚ if we take them out the whole system will be disrupted if some animals

grasslands makes them one of the most vulnerable to global climate change of any terrestrial ecosystem (Sala et al.‚ 2000; IPCC‚ 2001a). The low-stature of vegetation confers high light availability‚ leaving many grasslands naturally vulnerable to invasive species (Wagner‚ 1989)‚ especially following disturbance (Hobbs and Huenneke‚ 1992). A critical role for fire in maintaining plant community structure in many grassland types leaves them vulnerable to vegetation change should changes to temperatures

Molurus Bivatlus One misty morning in 2003‚ deep under the cover of the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States‚ a group of tourists set out for a day of exploration in the Everglades. They hoped to see some of the diverse and unique species that the Everglades are famous for‚ and maybe snap a few cool pictures to show their friends. They could never have anticipated what they would actually discover. A short way into their trek‚ the party was drawn to a noisy struggle nearby. They followed

“bully” towards native species of fish? Of course not! After all‚ they’re rainbow right? Doesn’t that mean they’re just kind and happy? Well‚ rainbow trout aren’t all lollipops and cotton candy. In fact‚ they are an invasive non-native species in Canada‚ threatening our very own salmonids‚ brook trout and Atlantic salmon. Rainbow trout is a species of fish that is native to the Pacific drainages of North America. They are included in the top 100 of the world’s worst invasive species. After many years

Wisconsin and Illinois. People often planted it in their gardens not knowing it was invasive. Purple Loosestrife has now spread all across the United States. The only states it does not inhabit are Arizona‚ Louisiana‚ Georgia‚ Florida‚ South Carolina‚ Hawaii‚ and Alaska. The plant that was once thought to be beneficial and harmless has turned out to be quite a problem. Purple loosestrife is an invasive species‚ meaning it is a plant that is not native to an ecosystem and it causes harm in some
