Another topic we discussed in class was eating disorders. Eating disorders are treatable medical illnesses. They affect both men and women, though women suffer more than twice as much. Eating disorders commonly develop during adolescence and young adulthood but may also develop earlier or later on in life.

power supplies—in forklift trucks, golf carts, boats and submarines, and vehicles for indoor operation. They are inexpensive, albeit heavy. A variant on the lead-acid battery is the Gel Cell, which is a sealed lead-acid battery with a jellified electrolyte, allowing a higher degree of portability. Smaller rechargeable batteries began as size-compatible replacements for disposable batteries and used technologies such as nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-iron (Ni-Fe), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), and

from one another in terms of their ability to allow the flow of charged particles. Conductors allow the flow of charged particles at the atomic or molecular level. This might mean loosely held outer electrons (for metals), but in the case of an electrolyte solution, it means that ions (charged particles) are freely moving through a liquid solution. Insulators do NOT have charged particles that are free to move around. 3. If water in a pipe is analogous to electricity in a wire, what is analogous

multicellular organisms with various different types of cells that work together to sustain life. Other non-cellular components in the body include water, macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) and electrolytes. A collection of cells that function together to perform the same activity is known as tissue. Masses of tissue work collectively to form an organ that performs specific functions in the body. Despite this structural organization, all activity

In American culture, although our obesity rates are steadily growing, the pressure to attain never-ending hallmarks of beauty is as evident as ever. This, and other factors such as genetics and family influence can result in the display of an eating disorder if a person finds that they are extremely dissatisfied with their body. This person is not typically a “fad-dieter”, but one that has a chronic history of restrictive eating, so much so that it results in a dangerously low body weight.
