Introduction Type II Diabetes is a rapidly growing disease in our country. Unfortunately‚ many of us know at least one person who battles through this metabolic disease. I chose the article titled The sugar disease-understanding type 2 diabetes mellitus written by Georgina Casey to review and learn from. This article was found in the Continuing Professional Development +Nurses Journal published in March 2011. My grandmother has battled with this disease for many years and it has slowly progressed

Living things get energy to do things through photosynthesis‚ food molecule breakdown‚ build up‚ storage‚ and lastly cellular respiration. All of these ideas are the reason that myself and others have energy to do anything and everything. Photosynthesis is one way plants(plants are the main source of energy for all things)get energy to do things. The reactants of this are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and although light energy is not a reactant‚ it is necessary once the energy from the seed is gone. Carbon

Running head: SPINAL CORD INJURY Spinal Cord Injury Shannon G. Johnston‚ RN‚ CEN Liberty University Abstract There are many types of spinal cord injuries (SCI). Patients with SCI can symptoms that range from mild neurologic impairment (such as numbness and tingling of extremities or neck pain) to devastating total body paralysis depending on the extent of damage and where in the spinal cord the damage occurs. Management of airway‚ breathing and circulation are key with SCI patients‚ as

Photosynthesis and Respiration Objectives: In this activity we will review the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration‚ and become familiar with the use of a pH indicator for investigating these processes. Following this activity your group will generate a new research question about photosynthesis or respiration‚ and utilize the pH indicator system for the experiment that your group will design‚ implement and interpret. Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and

fermentation occurs in different sugars and to compare the rate of cellular respiration in germinating and non-germinating soybeans. Fermentation breaks down sugars for a source of energy. Cellular respiration is the process used by cells to produce energy from nutrients. This process allows sugars and foods to be broke down in order to obtain energy from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration is vital for survival of cells. Oxygen‚ which acts as the fuel is required for aerobic respiration

Photosythesis and Cellular Respiration are both processes in Biology which transform energy in one form to another. Photosythesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy to produce glucose. Cellular respiration is the metabolic process in which food is broken down to form stored energy in the form of ATP. Although both processes are found in double membraned organelles‚ photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells and cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria

Benjamin Tiger1/16/12 Cellular Respiration Questions 1. Aerobic pathways require oxygen‚ while anaerobic pathways don’t. Anaerobic pathways only require the process of glycolysis to produce energy. Anaerobic pathways are found outside the mitochondria within the cytoplasm of the cell‚ with a low efficiency of 4%. These pathways require glucose‚ ATP‚ adolase‚ fructokinase‚ dehydrogenase‚ and NAD+. Out of one glucose molecule‚ major products include two net ATP‚ two NADH‚ and two pyruvate

Cellular respiration‚ which synthesis ATP‚ begins with glycolysis‚ wherein a six-carbon glucose is broken down into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvate. This process requires the input of two ATPs to produce two pyruvates‚ two NADHs‚ and 4 ATPs. The NADHs are synthesised when NAD+‚ delivered by B vitamins‚ become bound to hydrogen and energised electrons1. Following glycolysis is the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain respectively. The Krebs cycle uses the two pyruvates produced in glycolysis

The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Some cells are complete organisms‚ such as the unicellular bacteria and protozoa; others‚ such as nerve‚ liver‚ and muscle cells‚ are specialized components of multi-cellular organisms. Cells range in size from the smallest bacteria-like mycoplasmas‚ which are 0.1 micrometer in diameter‚ to the egg yolks of ostriches‚ which are about 8 cm (about 3 in) in diameter. Although they may differ widely in appearance and function‚ all cells
