An individual can drink too much water. Excess hydration can lead to electrolyte disruption by diluting fluids in the body to the point that concentrations of electrolytes are too low for normal function. Depletion of electrolytes can disrupt function of muscles and nerves, leading to a variety of symptoms up to and including death. Harm from consumption of water are very rare, as a healthy person would have to drink an extreme amount of water in a very short period of time to experience significant harmful effects. Excess hydration is usually only experienced due to drug abuse or when forced.

When an athlete does not get enough oxygen to meet the demands of his or her system, cells cannot maintain a cycle of aerobic respiration and begin producing energy through anaerobic respiration. Aeorobic respiration is 18 times more efficient than anaerobic respiration at producing the adenosine triphosphate used to transport energy within cells from the pyruvate left over from glycolysis. Anaerobic respiration also has the side-effect of producing potentially harmful chemicals. The primary byproduct is lactic acid, but butyric acid and acetone also occur. The theoretical final result of oxygen deprivation is death, due to the buildup of byproducts from anaerobic respiration and the severe reduction in energy production. In athletics, death from oxygen deprivation is rare, as it usually causes unconsiousness first, which immidiately ceases the strenuous activity that significantly contributes to inadaquate availability of oxygen.

Athletes engage in carbohydrate loading before endurance events to increase the amount of glucose stored in the body in the form of glycogen. Carbohydrate loading consists of decreased activity combined with a high intake of carbohydrates. Carbohydrate loading gives an endurance athlete a larger supply of easily-metabolized glycogen for use during an event. Having a larger source of fuel that is easy to metabolize gives an athlete an endurance advantage over the competition. Foods high in starch such as breads, cereals and pasta are most likely to work well for carbohydrate loading. Simple carbohydrates such as sugars are usually metabolized too quickly to be useful.

Cell Biology Define ATP ATP is necessary for any cell to produce energy and perform specific actions. This involves using three different compounds that are connected with each other to achieve these larger objectives. The most notable include: C10H16N5O13 and P3.The process enables biologists to understand the way cells function. (Bergen, 2015) (Falls, 2012) Describe how and where energy (ATP) is generated The ATP is an enzyme that is used to transport energy to

healthy individual is infected with a bacteria or virus, the body identifies the virus as an invader, and therefore produces the antibodies, which is the human body's immune system, to destroy the virus to assist the person to recover and become healthy. Meanwhile, vaccination is the process of stimulating the active immune system to fight disease in the body, and vaccine will boost the body active immunity to fight

Healthcare has recently become a very polarizing and contentious issue within the United States. Healthcare expenditures as a percentage of GDP are currently percent. Over the next decade these expenditures are expected to be 20% of GDP or roughly $6.2 Billion. COVID-19 has only exacerbated many of the prevailing trends surrounding healthcare and its subsequent treatment. For one, the government has passed the affordable care act which attempts to lower

Seeing more advertisements had a stronger effect on drinking than drinking had on noticing advertisements. The effect of alcohol advertising exposure on youth drinking was small and positive. The advertising effects were similar for the subset of underage respondents (Martin et al., 2002, 902 citing Snyder et (2006)." In addition to Snyder et al. (2006) other researchers have examined the impact of alcohol advertisements on underage youth. For instance, in

client, whose name is Kate and is the main character in the 2013 film Smashed, displays compulsive behavior and a marked addiction towards alcohol and the classic symptoms of alcoholism in the scene in which she parks her car before going to teach elementary school. This scene takes place early one in the film, and indicates the sort of behavior that will characterize Kate's descent into alcoholism. Despite the
