Bacillus Yersinia Pestis Spread The Disease Death
549 wordsDuring the fourteenth century a horrible plague spread across Asia, Europe, and Great Britain. This plague is referred to as the black death. Many people are not quite sure why the disease was given the name. The most popular reason why it might be called the black death is because it left purplish, blackish blotches on the bodies of the sick. But if the name of the epidemic had been derived primarily from the appearance of its victims, one would have expected it to have been used at the time. O...

Wooden Ships Scientific Evidence
1,161 words... p after all the animals, the work load was considerably reduced by the fact that the animals were kept in the dark and therefore entered into a state of hibernation. The earth's human population and all present-day species of birds and land animals are all descendants of the Noah's ark survivors. There have been numerous aerial sightings and eyewitness accounts of persons who have actually seen the ark close up on the slopes Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. Constructing a wooden ship the size...

Genetic Engineering Dna Molecules
633 wordsTwo years ago, genetically engineered bacteria, which unexpectedly killed beneficial soil fungi, escaped into sewers through human error and have become toxic to plants and survived when expected not to. 3 These are the sorts of consequences that come with playing God. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) - the chemical compound that makes up the genes and determines the type of proteins a cell can make - is the core of genetic engineering. It can be manipulated in ways we could never dream of such as a ...

Amino Acids Dna Molecule
1,152 wordsIntroduction Deoxyribonucleic acid is contained in all cells. The structure of DNA makes gene transmission possible. Since genes are segments of DNA, DNA must be able to make exact copies of itself to enable the next generation of cells to receive the same genes. The DNA molecule looks like a twisted ladder. Each "side" is a chain of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar molecules. The "steps" are formed by bonded pairs of purine-pyrimidine bases. DNA contains four such bases the purines a...

Digestive Enzymes Bowel Movements
1,282 wordsThe digestive system is a group of organs that perform the process by which food, containing nutrients, is eaten and broken down into different components. This breakdown makes it possible for the digested material to pass through the intestinal wall into the blood stream. The digestive process contains many different steps that take place in many different organs. The first step of digestion begins at the mouth, where the food enters the mouth. Saliva is secreted from the salivary glands. The s...

Bubonic Plague Lymph Nodes
692 wordsNo pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seattle redness and horror of blood. (Edgar Allen Poe The Masque of the Red Death. ) Many thought the Black Plague was a curse from God; punishment for the sins the infected had committed. Those that survived were the chosen people, the ones who added by the laws of the Church. Scientists know now that the devastating disease was not a result of sins or spiritual inadequacy, but the terrible illness was caused by a...

Cause Of Acne Surface Of The Skin Drug
847 wordsThis purpose of this paper is to explain the cause of acne, give some examples, and how to get help prevent it. This paper will also dispel some of the myths of acne and how it is caused. Acne is a condition of the skin that ranges in appearance from raised bumps to pustules (large cysts and pimples). Acne is so common that more than 80 percent of the population will have some form of it at some time in some time of their lives. Although there are several theories about what causes acne, authori...

Infrared Light Blue Green
344 wordsThe Basics. Sunlight plays a much larger role in our sustenance than we may expect: all the food we eat and all the fossil fuel we use is a product of photosynthesis, which is the process that converts energy in sunlight to chemical forms of energy that can be used by biological systems. Photosynthesis is carried out by many different organisms, ranging from plants to bacteria (Figure 1). The best known form of photosynthesis is the one carried out by higher plants and algae, as well as by cyano...

The shape, contents and their protective shields were the most challenging part of the fight. There are many ways one can treat cancer, but for AIDS doctors prescribe a cocktail of drugs in which some are enzyme inhibitors, protein inhibitors and while some are RNA inhibitors. This is not it in the cocktail there is more t...

433 wordsEarly Health and Medicine Today our personal health is often something we take for granted, because over the years we have developed more advanced vitamins, medicines, and cures for numerous sicknesses. In the early days, getting sick was much more terrifying than it is today. The cures for diseases were not much healthier than the diseases themselves. Any illness in the early 19 th century could be very serious, no matter how big or small. For example, today cancer is considered a very serious ...

Recombinant Dna Genetic Engineering
1,017 words. Genetic engineering involves the alteration of an organisms hereditary material in order to eliminate undesirable characteristics or to produce plants with more desirable characteristics. The splicing of genes takes place in order to combine traits that would be unlikely to occur together under ordinary circumstances. Practices that go back centuries, such as the use of microbes to make wine and cheese and the selective breeding of livestock and crops, are example of biotechnology. (Campbell, ...

Genetic Engineering One Organism
893 wordsThe scientific Biotechnology Jones 1 The scientific rules of genetics were not known until the nineteenth century, when Gregor Mendel determined from his study of plants that particles that can not be seen carry traits that are passed on from generation to generation. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made the makeup of the genetic code called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, the genetic material that is in all living cells. Deoxyribonucleic acid encodes the order of amino acids that have pe...

Toxic Shock Syndrome Kidney Failure
868 wordsImpetigo is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus and / or Staphylococcus organisms. Both staphylococcus and streptococcus are part of the normal flora found on human skin, but given the opportunity they can become pathogenic. Streptococcus is a spherical bacterium that is arranged into chains. It is Gram positive and catalase negative. Group A Streptococcus (GAS), such as Streptococcus pyogenes, are responsible for most cases of streptococcal infections. The letter A is part of a classi...

Protease Inhibitors Opportunistic Infections
1,185 wordsA disease is an abnormality of an animal or plant, caused by a pathogenic organism. Therefore, disease resistance is the ability to withstand the attack of these pathogens and remain virtually unaffected. The disease may be infectious (communicable), caused by invading organisms that live parasitically on or within the body. The disease causing organisms include viruses, some bacteria and certain other organisms that may be passed from person to person? e. g. Plasmodium that causes malaria. Othe...

Planet Earth Strong Evidence
1,653 wordsThere are so many things in this world that people argue over. One thing that is true for every arguement is that there is always at least two sides, and two conflicting questions like why? , or why not? , should? , or shouldnt there be? , or is there? , or isnt there? One of the biggest arguable questions of all time is whether or not there is life other than that on the planet Earth. There are facts to prove things for both arguement's, and I dont think that anyone can say with 100 % certainty...
