CONTROLLING THE MICROBIAL GROWTH IN VITRO
Microorganism Growth Factors There are several factors that can affect the growth of microorganisms. Here are some of the key factors: Nutrients: Microorganisms require specific nutrients to grow and reproduce. These include carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, vitamins, and minerals. The…
HOW TO MANAGE INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RESTRICTION
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to a condition in which a fetus does not achieve its expected growth potential while still in the womb. It is characterized by the inability of the fetus to reach its genetically predetermined size and…
DECREASED GROWTH (ATROPHY)
Progressive Atrophy is a medical condition that refers to the gradual loss of muscle mass, tissue, or function due to the degeneration of cells. It can affect any tissue or organ in the body and can be caused by a…
DECREASED GROWTH (HYPOPLASIA)
Developmental Hypoplasia is a medical term that refers to underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue or organ. It occurs when the cells in a particular tissue or organ do not grow or divide normally during fetal development or childhood.…
DECREASED GROWTH (AGENESIS)
Developmental Agenesis is a medical term used to describe the complete or partial absence or underdevelopment of a body part or organ. Agenesis can occur during embryonic development, resulting in the failure of a particular organ or body part to…
INCREASED GROWTH (NEOPLASIA)
Neoplasia is a term used to describe the abnormal growth of cells that can lead to the formation of a tumor. It can be benign or malignant, depending on the characteristics of the cells and the way they grow and…
INCREASED GROWTH (HYPERPLASIA)
Hyperplasia refers to an increase in the size of an organ or tissue due to an increase in the number of cells through a combination of cell growth and proliferation. This can be a normal physiological response to certain stimuli,…
INCREASED GROWTH (HYPERTROPHY)
Hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of a tissue or organ due to an increase in the size of its cells, rather than an increase in the number of cells. This can occur as a result of increased workload or demand…
INTRODUCTION TO ABNORMALITIES OF GROWTH
Abnormalities of growth refer to deviations from the normal patterns of physical growth and development. These deviations can be classified into two categories: physiological and pathological abnormalities. 1) Physiological abnormalities of growth are variations from the normal pattern of growth…
POPULATION GROWTH IN AFRICA
The exact population size of Africa, like that of the world, at any particular time is difficult to determine. This is essentially due to the fact that many countries in Africa do not have complete knowledge of their population, as…
TIMBER GROWTH AND FELLING
Wood is obtained from trees. When it has not been processed for use, it is typically referred to as timber. Trees are renewable materials, although they grow very slowly, some good quality hardwoods require 50 or more years to mature.…
ASPECTS OF GROWTH
It is sometimes very difficult to determine growth in organism. Growth varies from one organism to another. Parameters normally used to measure growth in organisms include: Mass. Length, height or width. Area or volume. a) In most growth studies,…
PLANT NUTRIENTS
Plants require nutrients or elements obtained from the soil for good growth and healthy development. These elements or nutrients are classified into two main groups which are: Macro-Nutrients: Macro-nutrients are mineral elements or nutrients required by crops in large quantities.…
AUXINS
Auxins help primarily in influencing cell elongation and enlargement hence sometimes referred to as growth hormones. Actions of auxins are to stimulate or inhibit growth hence they are regarded as growth regulators. The most abundant natural auxin manufactured in plants…
GROWTH
Growth is defined as an irreversible or permanent increase in size, dry mass or weight due to the addition of living protoplasmic materials in organism. In other words, Growth is defined as an irreversible increase in size and complexity of…
MICRO-ORGANISMS IN ACTION
GROWTH OF MICRO-ORGANISMS Micro-organisms, like all living things, do increase in size and multiply in number of cells using either the culture medium provided or any suitable surface such as moist bread as source of food. Microorganisms can also increase…
