To understanding the metabolism of alcohol‚ we should know that what is alcohol‚ how is it affect human body. Alcohol is being considered one of the most commonly used drugs because it has adverse impacts on human’s health through how it’s metabolized. Alcohol is a compound of hydrogen‚ carbon and oxygen‚ which can be combined in many different ways. The commonest as known as ethyl ethanol‚ which is a specific alcohol compound (C2H5OH) and formed from the fermentation of yeast‚ sugars

These enzymes allow your food to be digested at a faster rate (National Institute of Asian Medicine‚ 2007). There are many factors that can affect the efficiency of enzymes which include pH levels‚ the amount of substrate‚ inhibitors‚ and temperature (Your Mom‚ 1996). Temperature is the independent variable that will be looked at to see how it will affect the activity of enzymes.

How diseases affect the lives of humans A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism. It is often construed to be a medical condition associated with specific symptoms and signs. It may be caused by external factors‚ Pathogens such as infectious disease‚ or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions‚ such as autoimmune diseases. In humans‚ "disease" is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes pain‚ dysfunction‚ distress‚ social problems‚ or death to the

Temperature affects enzymes in two different ways: by increasing the kinetic motion of molecules‚ changing the rate of collisions between them and the hydrogen bonds it’s 3D structure(D. Fraser‚ 55). There is a specific temperature for every enzyme where activity is maximized‚ and also where an enzyme becomes denatured. An enzyme becomes denatured when it is heated at extreme temperature;

The trail goes through mountains rivers little towns and roads‚ but ultimately it’s a wildlife hike. On many occasions it has been called the true hike because of its length and many dimensions.

The Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society (SLWCS) founded in 1995 had been working exclusively in Sri Lanka to protect native species while aiding the social development of the Sri Lankan people. Headed by Ravi Corea‚ president‚ and Chandeep Corea‚ projects director‚ the SLWCS began its first major project in 1998 — an innovative electric fence designed to resolve conflicts between the native villagers and the elephants in Sri Lanka and protect the surrounding forests. The idea was to fence off

Wildlife Conservation INTRODUCTION Wildlife is a collective term that includes animals‚ bear‚ butterflies‚ crustaceans‚ fish‚ moths‚ aquatic and land vegetation which forms a part of a habitat. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet and has a major impact on the environment‚ both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems‚ deserts‚ rainforests‚ plains‚ and other areas-including the most developed urban sites

1. Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated vertebrates‚ but has come to broadly reference to all wild plants‚ animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet‚ and has a major impact on the environment‚ both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts‚ forests‚ rain forests‚ plains‚ grasslands‚ other areas including the most developed urban sites‚ all have distinct forms of

Human Impacts on island ecosystems. (Australia) There are few paleovegetation records in Australia before 18‚000 years ago. To find out the history of the Australian fauna scientists used stable carbon isotopes from the emu eggshell (a flightless bird native to Australia). The samples were largely taken from Lake Eyre. The carbon composition of the eggshell tells us the composition of the bird’s diet (over 3-5 days). The emus are mixed feeders herbivores‚ eating leaves‚ shoots‚ fruits‚ flowers
