Introduction. a. Background Information. Cellular respiration is the oxidation of organic compounds through cellular metabolism to release energy in a form that is usable by a cell. There are two basic types of cellular respiration aerobic cellular respiration and anaerobic cellular respiration. Aerobic respiration requires the use of oxygen and anaerobic respiration which does not use oxygen. There are several types of anaerobic respiration, most familiar is a process called fermentation.

Primary Medical Diagnosis: Diabetes mellitus 2. Relevant Pathophysiology: Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by an abnormality in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. The cause of type-2 diabetes are multifactorial and include both genetic and environmental elements that affect beta cell function and tissue (muscle, liver, adipose tissue, pancreas) insulin sensitivity. A number of factors have been suggested as possibly linking insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction

There is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and a rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). While the RER has ribosomes on its surface, the SER is bare. Furthermore, the RER houses protein synthesis, while the SER plays an important role in the cells metabolism. Working with the ER, the Golgi Apparatus, an organelle, takes the proteins from the RER and modifies/distributes them. Also, like any life form, a plant cell stores food and waste. Inside of the cell is an organelle called a vacuole. A vacuole

Upon the discovery of an unknown microscopic organism, many thought provoking questions were formed in the mind of scientists. After further investigation, the scientists were able to conclude that the unknown organism is unicellular and is a eukaryote. Unicellular eukaryotes are an extremely interesting type of species with many of their own characteristics. Organelles, membrane-enclosed structures with specialized functions that are suspended in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells, are specifically

physical activity, and genetic susceptibility, although a few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. Evidence to support the view that some obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is limited; on average obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass. Dieting and physical exercise are the mainstays of treatment for obesity. Diet quality
