Chemistry Research Assignment Part A – The Production of Materials: 1. Use available evidence to gather and present data from secondary sources and analyse progress in the recent development and use of a named biopolymer. This analysis should name the specific enzyme(s) used or organism used to synthesise the material and an evaluation of the use or potential use of the polymer produced related to its properties. a) Name a biopolymer (eg. Biopol) outlining how it’s produced. Biopol: Made in

day to stay hydrated pre, during, and after running. They also both find it very important on the time of the day they eat their meals and make sure to eat 5-6 smaller meals per day. Both diets are adequately supplied with vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. As for my findings of both Bodybuilding and Aerobic type diets. The biggest difference between the two is obviously higher consumption of protein for bodybuilders to build more muscle. And Aerobic athletes have a higher consumption of carbohydrates

occurs due to an altered renal blood flow. One example is going into surgery and losing a substantial amount of blood. Another example is having a constriction of the renal artery. Prerenal acute renal failure can also occur due to a water and electrolyte loss due to vomiting or diarrhea. In result, all of these causes will result in renal acute failure and acute tubular or interstitial necrosis. Intrarenal Acute Renal Failure Intrarenal Acute Renal Failure differentiates from the other renal

confirm diagnosis a rectal biopsy is used to determine the absence of ganglionic cells. Treatment is removing the abnormal area of the colon (two-stage process), or a laparoscopic-assisted pull-through. The nurse should maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance of the pediatric patient prior to surgery. After surgery the nurse would maintain open airway of the NG tube, assess for abdominal distention, incision site care, and monitor the return of bowel sounds. The nurse would also provide family

Case Study #10 1. Botulism is the diagnosis because of the characteristics of botulism. The symptoms all match with botulism because botulism makes muscle weakness caused by the supply of cells to the cranial nerves, the nerves connecting to the control of eye movement, facial muscles and the control of chewing and swallowing. The weakness then spreads throughout the body to the arms (starting in the shoulders and proceeding to the forearms) and legs (again from the thighs down to the feet).

Due to this patient being admitted with a Decubitus ulcer stage III the healthcare team would monitor lab tests such as RBC, total protein, wound cultures. Because the diagnosis may also cause sepsis an additional lab test such as iron may be drawn to help control the growth of bacteria by monitoring the iron level. Iron is used by bacteria, fungi, and protozoa for growth and proliferation. Monitoring INR is vital due to the moderate-high risk of patient bleeding due to heparin levels being too high

gallbladder, and pancreas. Food begins getting broken down in the mouth as we chew, mixing the food with saliva. Saliva is secreted by the Salivary Glands, found in and around your mouth and throat. It is 98 percent water but it also contains electrolytes, mucus, and antibacterial compounds. The next step of the digestive system is the esophagus. It is a tube that transports the food to our stomach. When food gets to the stomach it is broken down further by chemicals known as gastric juices. The

critical body functions. Many processes in the body, especially in the brain, nervous system, and muscles, require electrical signals for communication. The movement of sodium is critical in generation of these electrical signals. Sodium as an electrolyte is important for the human body. But Too much or too little sodium therefore can cause cells to malfunction, and extremes in the blood sodium levels (too much or too little) can be fatal. Too much of sodium This report will investigate the possibilities
