Antibiotics have been overused and misused for preventive and therapeutic purposes. Specifically, antibiotics are frequently used as growth promoters for improving productivity and performance of food-producing animals such as pigs, cattle, and poultry. The increasing use of antibiotics has been of great...
How Do Cells Turn Nutrients into Usable Energy? Complex organic food molecules such as sugars, fats, and proteins are rich sources of energy for cells because much of the energy used to form these molecules is literally stored within the chemical bonds that hold them together. Scientists can me...
one might conclude that, during fasting, the source of fatty acids for adipose tissue cells is their own stock. Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue cells also utilize glucose in significant proportions, but only at the absorptive stage - that is, right ...
we should cut out of our diets in favor of heart health. That being said, not all salt is created equal, and there is definitely a difference between unrefined, mineral-rich varieties like sea salt versus salt that has been heavily processed and stripped of all of its natural nutrients. ...
Various vitamins and minerals act as coenzymes or catalysts for metabolic reactions, facilitating the breakdown of nutrients into usable forms and aiding in their absorption. 5.5 Enhancing Immune Function Certain nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, and selenium, support immune function ...
Thus, the substrate provides both the nutrients and the environment for the mycelium [47,48]. The main substrates used for mushroom production depend on the desired purpose and on the species, and are listed in Table 14.1. Several factors should be taken into account for the preparation of ...

For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth factors, hormones, neurotransmitters, and extracellular matrix components are some of the many types of chemical signals cells use. These substances can ...
Plants often face significant challenges in obtaining an adequate supply of these nutrients to meet the demands of basic cellular processes due to their relative immobility. A deficiency of any one of them may result in decreased plant productivity and/or fertility. Symptoms of nutrient deficiency ...
