Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen‚ used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. The digestion process begins with bacterial hydrolysis of the input materials in order to break down insoluble organic polymers such as carbohydrates and make them available for other bacteria. Acidogenic bacteria then convert the sugars and amino acids into carbon dioxide

Defn. of Digestion: the process whereby a biological entity processes a substance‚ in order to chemically convert the substance into nutrients. It usually involves mechanical manipulation and chemical action. Mechanical Digestion What is it? This type of digestion involves the mixing‚ grinding or crushing of large pieces of food into smaller places. Why does it take place? So that the food we consume is broken down into smaller pieces before we swallow it which in turn makes process of

hyperventilate. The rising pH indicated that the body was expelling CO2 and H+. 7. Did the PCO2 level change during the curse of this run? If so‚ how? Yes‚ the PCO2 level dropped from 40 to 19.7 because the body was getting rid of CO2 by hyperventilating. 8. If you observed an acid/base imbalance during this run‚ how would you expect to renal system to compensate for this condition? The renal system would generate H+ and excrete HCO3- to counteract the respiratory system and lower the pH back to homeostasis

STAKEHOLDERS OF A COMPANY 1 A stakeholder is an individual or a group‚ which has a legitimate interest in a company. Interest in a stakeholder could mean several things. A stakeholder could be interested in the profits of the company‚ its ability to pay its creditors or how it gives back to the community it is operating in. The stakeholder concept was initially used in 1963 at the Stanford Research Institute through an internal memorandum‚ defining stakeholders as those groups without whose support
