Factors influencing body weight The hormones leptin, insulin, growth hormone, and sex hormones are some of the hormones that control appetite. The message sends to the brain through signaling either makes us feel hungry or feel satisfied. This means that energy homeostasis is mainly controlled by neural circuits in the brain stream and, in particular, the hypothalamus. For us to survive, we must store excess food when we eat to sustain us when we are fasting. However, there is a point where the excess accumulation of energy in the form of fats exposes as to harmful diseases. Swaab, D. F. (2008). Obesity occurs as a result of too much accumulation of energy in the form of body fats, which leads to abnormal bodyweight. Reduction of caloric intake can play a significant role in loose bodyweight. This is because there will be no excess fuel to be stored in the form of fats. Also, the excess fats stored will be oxidized to produce energy. However, sometimes body weight is influenced by genetic factors, and therefore reduction of fuel may not be…

A Study of the Influence of Food Handling Time on Bird Foraging Behavior in Ontario Introduction Bird species inhabit a wide range of environments and as such they must exploit different approaches to food acquisition. In Eastern Ontario, as temperature drop below freezing, the food availability declines significantly resulting in some species of birds migrating in the winter to take advantage of the plentiful food resources in the South. Other bird species, however, do not migrate and have developed behaviors that allow them to survive Canadian winters where food is scarcer. Behavioral ecology focuses on the evolutionary mechanisms that act on animal behavior due to pressures from the ecological system (Bonter, Zuckerberg, Sedgwick, & Hochachka, 2013). The search for food for survival is an intrinsic need that has to be satisfied and birds are not an exception when it comes to survival (Kacelnik et al.1981). The presence of food is not just a surety that the birds will come to forage but rather, there are combinations of factors that determine whether a bird will land and take the food that…

German Nuclear Phase-Out and Energy Transition Policy The following case study is based on the German nuclear phase-out and energy transition policy, also referred to as Energiewende. Germany plans to phase out every nuclear power plant by the end of 2022 to incorporate the use of renewable energy. This will help to enhance the energy efficiency of Germany and help in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent. Generally, the plan to transition from nuclear energy to that of fossil or renewable energy will be of great benefit to both Germany and the surrounding countries. One of the interesting facts about this transition of power is that four key objectives drive it. One is to reduce the carbon emissions hence improving climate change; second is that the reduction of fossil energy will help to enhance energy security. The third is to phase out nuclear power, and finally, the policy will guarantee massive competition between different industries with the capacity to produce renewable energy (Kuittinen & Velte, 2018). The parties in charge of this initiative are the federal ministry…
