( Check Nutrition Unit 21) Define metabolism and describe the two forms; Anabolism and Catabolism and give examples of each? Metabolism: Every time food is swallowed‚ the body works hard to process the nutrients that have been consumed. Long after the food is digested‚ the nutrients the body has now eaten become the building blocks and the fuel of the body to keep it going. The body gets the energy it needs from food‚ and this is called metabolism. Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions

The leading cause of death in the United States because it affects nearly 83 million Americans. This disease is due to the way of our life mostly. Millions of Americans smoke‚ are overweight‚ have uncontrolled high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels‚ and they don’t even know the signs of CVD. Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease that can

Direct energy conversion system Direct energy conversion systems that could operate in the 100-700°C temperature range with high efficiencies (>30%) provide an attractive compact alternative to internal combustion engines for many military applications. They will also expand the possibilities for waste heat recovery applications. The core of the solution we are proposing is a metal/semiconductor nanocomposite that will allow us to modify four intrinsic material properties in order to fabricate

Proteins play an important role in the human body. The DNA molecule controls the synthesis of proteins. The DNA contains genes which are sequences of nucleotides and bases. Proteins are used for growth and repair. Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Firstly ’amino acid synthesis ’ is the set of biochemical processes by which the various amino acids are produced from other compounds. The substrates for these processes are various compounds in the organism ’s diet

Purine metabolism is central to the production of nucleotides in the body. Imbalances in this process can lead to hyperuricemia which is abnormally high levels of uric acid in the blood [>360μmol/L in females and >400μmol/L in males]. Hyperuricemia can lead to uric acid crystals precipitating in the joints‚ skin‚ vessels and other tissues‚ this is a form of inflammatory arthritis known as gout. Uric acid is a metabolite of purine metabolism therefore gout can aptly be characterized as a disorder

Cardiovascular Disease in the African American Community Causes‚ Preventions‚ and Treatments Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to the dysfunctional conditions of the heart‚ arteries‚ and veins that supply oxygen to vital life- sustaining areas of the body like the brain‚ the heart itself and other vital organs. Since the term cardiovascular disease refers to any dysfunction of the cardiovascular system there are many different diseases in the cardiovascular category‚ and many of these diseases

First pass metabolism. Pharmacology is the study of the effects drugs have and how they exert them. Drugs can be administered enteral or parenteral. [1] Enteral refers to any form of administration that involves the alimentary tract. The four enteral routes of administration include the mouth‚ sublingual‚ buccal and rectal. Parenteral refers to routes of administration outside of or beside of the alimentary tract. The parenteral route includes intravascular (IV)‚ Intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous
