The Eatwell plate‚ originally designed by the Food Standards Agency‚ is the current food guide used within the UK to demonstrate the government’s dietary guidelines‚ using the visual representation of a plate to advise what constitutes a healthy balance diet (refer to figure 1). The plate is segmented into five food groups to assist in demonstrating the types of foods and the proportions which should be considered for a healthy balanced diet (Public Health England‚ 2014).

One day‚ allowing me to contribute to scientific community‚ the field of public health‚ and science communication. Acquiring a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology will allow me to pursue employment with the government’s public health sector. Throughout my professional career as a scientist‚ I would like to investigate how mechanisms of virulence operate in infectious diseases. Then one day

Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonics theory is valid. The theory of tectonic plates was first posed by Alfred Wenger in 1912. Is the theory of how the earth lithosphere is made up of many separate pieces of the earth’s crust known as tectonic plates. He put forward the idea that all the earth’s continents were once conjoined in one supercontinent called Pangaea‚ and that these continents were moved by convection currents over a period

Plate Tectonics Chart Amanda Wright GLG 150 February 24‚ 2013 Karen Hansen Plate Tectonics Chart 1) How does the motion of the tectonic plates affect the climate? Climate can be affected by many things. One of the biggest affects may be the motion of the tectonic plates. The Earths plates have been in motion approximately since its beginnings or shortly after‚ continuously causing climate to change. The Earth’s movement of plates as well as the apparent polar wandering can both play a role

A plate tectonic is defined as a solid rock mass that builds up the Earth’s surface. The plate tectonic theory is a theory that geologists use to help explain the surface processes and events. The word plate means large pieces of the earth that are always in motion‚ lithosphere plates. Tectonics means how the continents formed and move over time. This is the theory that most geologists accept as to what happened to our continents. It states that Earth is made up of two layers‚ the lithosphere

11/20/13 Earth Space Science Plate Tectonics Theory Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth is divided into a couple of dozen plates that move around across the earth’s surface relative to each other‚ like slabs of ice on a lake. Plate Tectonics is cause by convection currents in the mantle of the Earth. This theory was originally called continental drift. The theory of “Pangea” that is the continents were connected was Alfred Wegener. The age of the sea floor is

Escherichia coli Microbiology Lab NAS 185-14L Introduction In this lab experiment we did several test to determine what our unknown bacteria was. To determine this we recorded the results of how the bacteria reacted to different media. Depending on the results of each test we could narrow down the different bacteria to determine what our unknown is. This experiment will also determine if our bacteria is a fermenter of sugars and if it is catalase positive. If the bacteria is

In the medical terms‚ microbiology involves the study of microscopic organisms‚ bacteria‚ archaea‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ algae‚ and multi cellular animal parasites (Baumann 3-5). It is important that we acquire knowledge of these subjects because there are many infectious diseases that

Biology Assessment: Influenza Structure: Viruses are non-cellular obligate intracellular parasites‚ requiring a living host cell in order to reproduce. A developed viral particle (virion) lacks the metabolic machinery of cells‚ containing just a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat or capsid. Viruses can be distinguished by their structure and by the nature of their genetic material (single or double stranded DNA or RNA). Viruses that affect humans are more difficult
