The paper investigates Cd2+ neurotoxicity over time by simulating Cd2+ contaminated water. Li et al. (2022) suggest that chronic Cd exposure resulted in neuron death in the hippocampus rather than a modification in neurogenesis. Furthermore, apoptosis of hippocampal neurons increased with time, as demonstrated by a rise in the number...
While Shewanella oneidensis is a bacterium that does not require oxygen for existence, it is vital to point out that there is a number of such bacteria in this family. Nearly 70 varieties of heterotrophs with various respiratory capabilities belong to the genus Shewanella (Ikeda et al., 2021). Shewanella oneidensis...
Introduction One of the critical metabolic processes in the simplest living organisms is the process of energy generation. Such processes should be broadly understood as processes of cleavage of an organic substrate with the help of specialized natural molecules called enzymes. Enzymatic reactions are usually exothermic, that is, they occur...
Behavior largely depends on multiple genes, but not completely. The genotype does not determine behavior only, but rather the general principles for constructing neural circuits responsible for processing incoming information and making decisions. These mechanisms are capable of learning and are constantly rebuilt throughout life. The methodology for studying the...
People associate germs with a negative definition, but these parts are different. Most microbes in our body or another environment bring positive results. They help organisms to develop evenly and provide them with everything they need. Most existing microbes are part of a specific ecosystem and perform their function. With...
Giardia lamblia is a single-celled eukaryotic pathogen with flagella. The pathogen is known to enter the human body as a cyst in one of the life cycle phases, after which it settles in the intestinal system, causing diarrheal infections (CDC, 2021). The pathogen leads an attached lifestyle due to the...
Introduction In the 20th century, a growing arms race led to the development of chemical weapons. A range of nerve agents was created by scientists in laboratories to be used in war conflicts. Soman (GD) is one of the most lethal and widely used nerve agents that allow destroying military...
The USA plays an essential role in the different parts of the modern world, claiming world leadership in economics and military power. However, it is difficult to call it an empire and compare it with the British or Ottoman country. With a developed economy, significant military power, and financial potential,...
The influence of marijuana on the neurobiology and biopsychology of the brain is one of the critically important and significant issues in the field of biological psychology. In particular, it expands the understanding and comprehension of the consequences of using the psychotropic substance on a person’s mental abilities and the...
Marijuana is one of the most controversial psychotropic drugs, the benefits or harms of which have been debated for many years. Marijuana is currently legalized in several countries around the world, with some allowing its use only for medical purposes and others banning all types of drugs altogether. It is...
Archaeological studies have focused on the role played by ritual practices and belief systems in ancient societies. Ancient societies depended on rituals and belief systems to communicate with the spiritual world and also to interpret their material world as well as their own being. Some aspects of ritual and belief...
The common name for the species of interest is Japanese Knotweed. The scientific name for Japanese Knotweed is Reynoutria japonica or Fallopia japonica, both of which can be used interchangeably since they are synonyms (United States Department of Agriculture, 2022). It is important to note that the species was first...
Reproductive Adaptations In the animal world, there are several ways of reproduction – asexual, when genetically identical organisms are formed, and sexual, when male and female gametes unite outside the body during external fertilization or inside the female’s body during internal fertilization. For humans, only sexual reproduction is possible, when...
Summary Medical genetics aims to study the role of genetic factors in the etiology and pathogenesis of various human diseases. These diseases can be divided into hereditary diseases, including chromosomal conditions and genetic disorders, and diseases caused by a congenital predisposition – multifactorial diseases. Studying a person’s lineage can help...
The central idea of the reading shows how attitudes towards races and gender have changed in secular and scientific society through the dynamics of the stories of progressive scientists. The destruction of stereotypes was accompanied by a long fermentation of thought and testimonies of the book’s heroes, who, ahead of...
Questions about the origin of man continue to be topical, and the topic of whether humans are related to apes excites many. Unfortunately, myths about this continue to exist and spread among humans. In 2017, Tim Allen published a tweet in which he wrote, “If we evolved from apes, why...
I believe that gene editing opens a lot of opportunities for humanity, but this phenomenon must be used with caution and constantly monitored. The potential to edit the human genome for creating “designed children” reduces natural predestination (Wellcome Trust, 2016). This puts both the individual and humanity as a whole...
There are hundreds of various touristic attractions that introduce local culture to foreign or native visitors. However, some of the most important ones are museums as they contain some of the most highly valued cultural objects. With the development of technology, one can become familiar with the greatest worlds of...
Summary Titration is a method of chemical characterization in which the proportion of a material’s ingredient is evaluated by introducing a definite amount of another compound (Fitriani et al., 2019). The component reacts to the recorded sample with the intended element in a predetermined ratio. Typically, the procedure involves the...
One of the most critical topics in microbe-human interaction concerns microbial reservoirs since they inform one about the various places pathogens can be found. Generally speaking, people, other species, and environmental elements are the groups of reservoirs (Anderson et al., 2020). Pathogens with human repositories, as a rule, adhere solely...
Introduction Tanzania is well-known in the international market for producing eatable goods that are traded both within the country and used for exports. “Maize, wheat, rice, sweet potatoes, bananas, beans, sorghum, and sugar cane” are the most often cultivated food crops in Tanzania (International Trade Administration, 2021, para. 5). “Coffee,...
Introduction The Coast Salish Peoples originally inhabited the areas where I live, in particular the Tulalip, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, and Sauk-Suiattle Tribes.

All people in this world have a tendency to learn and improve their abilities over the course of their lives. Even from birth, parents teach their children the importance and necessity of learning so that in the future, the child will become a first-class professional. Parents nowadays try not to...
Evolution has provided various species with changes that have benefitted their successors in various ways. One of those changes is an innovation known as bipedalism and dates back to various species who were ancestors of modern day humans. The following text will review how this valuable innovation originated, the environmental...
Ever since the antique times philosophers and scientists have been proving that humans are not much different from other animal species. For example, genetically, Homo sapiens are almost identical to chimpanzees. However, through the course of the evolution, humans diverged from other representatives of the animal kingdom. Meat consumption played...
