Lifestyle is the causal factor a healthy or unhealthy cardiovascular system. Hence, it is important to keep tract on what you eat and practice during the day.

Some common types of cardiovascular diseases and its cause are:
a. Coronary Heart Disease – this is the most common form of heart disease. It happens when arteries supplying blood to the heart narrow or harden from the build-up of plaque (fat and cholesterol). People who experience this condition will often feel chest pains, shortness of breath, and discomfort on the arms, shoulders, neck, and jaw. 

b. Atherosclerosis – is a form of coronary heart disease where plaque builds up in the arteries causing low blood supply to the body. 

c. Arteriosclerosis – a condition where arteries narrow in size and harden through time

d. Heart Failure – this condition occurs at a very slow rate usually caused by an injury to the heart muscle, uncontrolled high blood pressure, a heart attack, or the a heart valve fails to function. The weakened heart muscle then puts more effort in pumping blood to the body and when the heart can’t keep up with the pace, the heart just fails away.

What are the major advantages and disadvantages of using coal, oil, and natural gas?

never [62]

When looking to power your equipment or vehicle with natural gas. A lot of people use natural gas in their homes for cooking and heating, but they don’t really give it some thought. So, let’s see what natural gas is and how it’s different from other forms of fossil fuels like oil and coal.

Suppose that when you examined your tubes (in this exercise) after incubating them, you noticed that the unsealed control contai

The Oxidation-Fermentation Test is used to differentiate bacteria built on their capability to oxidize or ferment specific sugars.
Once microbes are inoculated,-One tube is sealed with a layer of sterile mineral oil to promote anaerobic growth and fermentation.-The other tube is left unsealed to allow aerobic growth and oxidation.
Organisms able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate will turn the sealed and unsealed yellow throughout.
Organisms able only to oxidize the sugar will turn the unsealed yellow medium and leave the sealed medium green or blue.
Fragile fermenters will convert both tubes slightly yellow at the top.
Organisms not able to metabolize the sugar will either produce no color change or will turn the medium blue due to alkaline products from amino acids degradation.
Since Pair #1 showed complete yellowing for sealed and unsealed, these Organisms able to ferment the carbohydrate or ferment and oxidize the carbohydrate. So our interpretation will be that the organism has: Oxidation and fermentation OR fermentation only.
For tubes #2 and #3, the sealed tubes were green throughout suggests that they need oxygen for aerobic growth, and the fact that their unsealed tubes showed light yellowing is evidence for oxidation. Sealed - Green and Unseal - Yellow. Our interpretation for these pairs of tubes would be : Oxidation
Tube 1 can be either Oxidation and fermentation OR fermentation only. So reliability of this needs to be confirmed more with additional testing.
Tubes 2 and 3 are most reliable because they can only be oxidation only and no fermentation.

Why do prokaryotes reproduce faster than eukaryotes?

JulijaS [17]

Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually which makes it easier for them to multiply because all they have to do is split in half where as eukaryotic cells reproduce sexually so they have to find another cell to meet with in order to reproduce.
