Cell Wall in a modern Plant Cell Basically, a cell wall provides an additional layer of protection on top of the cell membrane, and it is most common in plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. Animals and protozoans do not have cell wall structures. The outstanding role of a plant cell wall is the maintenance of a plant cell structure and shape. The rigid nature of the cell wall helps it in performing the role of cell protection perfectly (Keegstra, pp 483-486, 2010). For instance, the cell wall protects pathogens like plant viruses from entering the plant cell. Another key role that the cell wall plays is providing a medium of transmission of molecules between individual cells. The main components of a plant cell are carbohydrates like cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. The other components are proteins, although in small amounts and some minerals like silicon. Cellulose forms complex cellulose that contains thousands of glucose monomers that form long chains. The long chains, in turn, lead to the formation of cellulose microfibrils, which are useful in monitoring the growth of a cell…

Identifying a Clinical Question Part One Introduction Overweight and obesity in the United States have become one of the serious health problems affecting more than 35% of the American population. As per the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), they have termed the condition as a national epidemic due to substantial death and injuries it causesWilliams et al., (2015). The disease is also associated with other severe health conditions that affect physical, metabolic, and psychological health to an individual. Overweight and obesity are well-defined by the body mass index, calculated by dividing the total weight in kilograms by the square of height (in meters). The primary concentrate of the paper is to perform a literature search, particularly on overweight and obesity, and extract an article that has the best nursing interventions and its relevance. PICOT Question and Format In nursing, PICOT is one of the formats that is critical in summarizing research questions with the primary aim of exploring an effective therapy for a specific disease or conditionElias et al., (2015). In our case, focusing on the format will…
Crowd Creation Introduction In the modern world, crowds are increasingly becoming an essential partner of choice in matters involving research and innovation. The concept of crowd creation/crowdsourcing is frequently employed in the business world, whereby companies like Apple Inc.are turning to a large number of distributors and users across the world to compel its growth as a tech company (Lakhani and Boudreau, 2013).Another common example of an institution that has used the ideology of crowd creation is the University of Washington whereby biologists at the institutionsapplied crowds of external contributors as a mechanism of map[ping out the structure of an AIDS-related virus that had puzzled academicians and experts within the industry for over fifteen years (Lakhani and Boudreau, 2013). The current research has directed its effort at investigating how crowdsourcing has been introduced to the public sector as a strategy of speeding up the timelines of projects, reducing the costs of projects in addition to tapping on crowd creativity and intelligence in engaging the members of the public at different levels of government processes (Chittilappilly et al., 2016). This paperuses…
Experience the Surprising Benefits of Natural Lubrication Sexual arousal makes the vagina produce extra fluids that make it supple and moist. This provides natural lubrication that makes intercourse more comfortable. This also reduces friction, which can lead to soreness and injury. Experiencing occasional vaginal dryness shouldn’t disrupt your pleasure. It’s more common than you may think. Many women experience it while on certain medications, after childbirth and, as they grow older. What’s Natural Lubrication? Virginal tissue is always moist thanks to various natural lubricants. These fluids come from the Bartholin gland and the cervix. These pea-sized glands secrete extra fluids when you are in the mood. Effectively reducing friction and enhancing the experience. Women experience occasion dryness due to stress, dietary changes, and other conditions. However, a lingering condition can be a sign of the onset of menopause or underlying health issues. The vaginal tissue gets thinner as a person grows older. This thinning is brought about by a reduction of estrogen production on the onset and end of menopause. Lower estrogen levels mean less secretion of lubricants, which make…
What is the most interesting, important, or meaningful lesson of your research (for you or your imagined reader)? The most interesting, important, and meaningful lesson from this research is that, contrary to popular belief, marijuana has a positive side to it, and there are valid reasons as to why it should be legalized. I think legalizing marijuana would be logical in this era, where tobacco and alcohol products are readily available to millions of people every day (although restricted by age). For many years, the narrative has dwelled on the negative side of marijuana. I believe this research serves as an eye-opener as it will enlighten the public and relevant authorities about the possible benefits that can be accrued from the legalization of marijuana. Of course, there are numerous debates on both sides of this issue. Nonetheless, I think that my research serves as an excellent guide as it highlights both sides of the issue and, in the end, gives an informed conclusion. Therefore, my readers can use this research at the end of which many of them will agree…

Global Carbon Cycle Organic compounds contain the carbon element and are present in living things. Carbon always moves within the earth’s atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. In rocks, carbon moves as calcium carbonate, in living organisms as carbohydrates or sugars and the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). The carbon cycle among earth spheres starts with green plants which absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis producing carbon-containing sugars. From the plants, animals eat the plants obtaining sugars from chlorophyll trapped during photosynthesis. CO2 is released to the atmosphere when the animals break down the carbohydrates through respiration and when they decay. Fossil fuels- oil, coal and natural gas are produced when dead animals and plants decay under high temperatures and high pressure. These fossil fuels are in turn used by human beings for heating, operating machinery and other purposes. When people burn these fossil fuels to produce energy, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere also increases, and the cycle begins. Deforestation and slash burning of forests The carbon stocks remaining in forests around the world are currently at risk…
