Last week I was assigned a thematic. We have groups of three but the people I was assigned with haven't been in school for days.

Hello,

Please find below a short summary on the subject you have been assigned. This will help you in completing your project and also give you an overview on the current research on this subject.

Food additives are chemical substances added to food in order to either maintain or improve its physical characteristics such as taste, texture, appearance and even freshness.

The long term effects that these substances have on the human body are still largely unstudied. According to the hypothesis called "chemical obesogen", these synthetic compounds are contributing factors to the global obesity epidemic.

Although evidence-based scientific research is still lacking, the support for this hypothesis is growing as many of these additives have been found to disturb the body's endocrine functions.

Furthermore, artificial preservatives used today may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. This has been shown by a study on mice in which the food additives known as emulsifiers (carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate-80) have been shown to affect the animal's health.

Due to these chemicals, the mice not only became obese but also developed metabolic problems such as glucose intolerance.  It seems that these chemicals affect the gut bacteria population in a negative way, as mice lacking gut bacteria did not become ill.

The mice study was followed by another study in which the human simulated through a series of flasks. Under the influence of the emulsifiers arboxymethylcellulose (E566 on EU labels) and polysorbate-80 (E433), the levels of bacterial protein called flagellin increased. This protein is known to cause inflammation at high concentrations. The next step in the study will be the first human trials.

Due to the long road our food takes from the farm to our table more extensive research is required. There are thousands of compounds that change the biochemical properties of the plants and animals that constitute our diet. The effects of the degradation and accumulation of these compounds are still unknown and thus many more studies and approaches are required in order to insure healthy food and stop the current obesity epidemic. Everything that is added to our food should be carefully analyzed.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging provide examples?
Alinara [238K]

Answer;

-Because of Homeostatic imbalance as we age our body organs become less efficient, and our internal conditions become less and less stable. This event has a risk for illness and produce changes we associate with aging.

Explanation;

-Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment even though the outside world is constantly changing. It involves both positive feedback Loops and the negative Feedback loops.

-Aging is a general example of disease as a result of homeostatic imbalance. As an organism ages, weakening of feedback loops gradually results in an unstable internal environment. This lack of homeostasis increases the risk for illness and is responsible for the physical changes associated with aging.

Convert carbon dioxide gas to oxygen gas.

produce the food the plant needs to grow.
However, some folks have missed the purpose of photosynthesis. It's not oxygen production. The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet's living systems are powered by this process

A cheeseburger from a fast food restaurant contains 19 g of fat, 20 g of carbohydrate, and 28 g of protein. How many kcal of ene
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

which equals 360 cal for total energy

Explanation:

We simply get the sum of the product of each mass and caloric values.

Total energy = 19 g * 9 kcal / g + 20 g * 4 kcal / g + 28 g * 4 kcal / g

Total energy = 363 kcal
