Bleach – And How It Works! Yes‚ knowing how bleach works isn’t all that exciting‚ but since bleach is what you usually use in your daily life‚ why not understand how and why it works? Wonder how the colour of the liquid is a yellowish colour‚ but the clothes come out as pure white? Or maybe why your parents always tell you not to touch bleach because it harms your skin? Since we’re still young‚ why not understand it earlier? Bleach has two forms: chlorine bleach and non-chlorine bleach.

Protein SCI/241 Protein A protein are organic compounds that made up of amino acids and are the building blocks of the cells in the body. Every cell in the body requires proteins to grow and repair themselves so these proteins are necessary for a healthy body and survival. Having so much protein can hurt your body so when you consume so much can get you sick and the right size of protein can keep you from getting sick. They’re five types of protein in everything that we eat. The largest class

My report is on what it takes to become physically fit. "Physical fitness is the ability of the human body to function with vigor and alertness‚ without undue fatigue‚ and with ample energy to engage in leisure activities‚ and to meet physical stresses". Muscular strength and endurance‚ cardiorespiratory integrity‚ and general alertness are the overt signs of physical fitness. Physical fitness is usually measured in relation to functional expectations-that is‚ typically‚ by periodic tests measuring

Reflections on Nutrition Overall I have enjoyed every aspect of this class. However‚ I must say that I enjoyed the healthy eating plan assignment. This assignment gave me an overview of my eating habits as a whole. Having to put everything on paper enabled me to acknowledge a change was needed and where the change was needed. Prior to composing a healthy eating plan‚ I was never equipped with the knowledge to know there were nutrients missing from my daily diet. This particular assignment

3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons

Human Nutrition I | | INTRODUCTION | Human Nutrition‚ study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body. Human beings require food to grow‚ reproduce‚ and maintain good health. Without food‚ our bodies could not stay warm‚ build or repair tissue‚ or maintain a heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients

Organisms that aren’t food producers must be food consumers. This method of nutrition is described as heterotrophic (eating others). Consumers include: predators‚ parasites‚ scavengers‚ decomposers and some green plants (e.g. sundews‚ Venus flytrap‚ pitcher plants). The food sources may be all or any of: plants‚ animals‚ fungi or bacteria; either living or dead. The advantages of the heterotrophic method of nutrition are: the food usually contains all the appropriate chemicals needed by the

immunities‚ maintaining electrolyte levels‚ water and nutrient balance‚ and metabolism. Metabolism involves catabolism‚ which is a process where complex molecules are broken into simple substances‚ and anabolism which is the process when simple substances are made into complex molecules by the use of enzymes. During the catabolism process the energy is released and is used to make ATP. The most important hormone in maintaining metabolism is thyroxine which is produced by the thyroid gland. The production
