| ARTICLES RELATED TO nutrient |  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Coral reef - Coral Reef BiologyThe building blocks of coral reefs are the skeletons of generations of reef-building algae, corals, and other organisms that are composed of calcium carbonate. For example, as a coral head grows, it lays down a skeletal structure encasing each new polyp. Waves, grazing fishes (such as parrotfish), sea urchins, sponges, and other forces and organisms break down the coral skeletons into fragments that settle into spaces in the reef structure. Many other organisms living in the reef community contribute their skeletal calcium carbonate in the s ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Hydroponics - CommercialDue to rising awareness of chemicals and other contaminants in the food supply, people are looking for more wholesome and safer alternatives. Fortunately, hydroponics is the exact fit for the consumer’s new requirements.
Some commercial installations use no pesticides or herbicides, preferring Integrated Pest Management Techniques. There is often a price premium willingly paid by consumers for produce which is labeled "Organic". This means that lawyers and lobbyists are paid to establish rules and laws determining exactly who can ch ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Vitamin C - Sources of vitamin C
Vitamin C - Plant sources.
Citrus fruits (lime, lemon, orange, grapefruit), tomatoes, and potatoes are good common sources of vitamin C. Other foods that are good sources of vitamin C include papaya, broccoli, brussels sprouts, black currants, strawberries, cauliflower, spinach, cantaloupe, and kiwifruit. Also, cranberries and red peppers are good sources of the vitamin.
The amount of vitamin C in foods of plant origin depends on:
the precise variety of the plant,
the soil condition ...

| |  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Infant formula - Controversy and ScienceIn more recent years the use of infant formula, in undeveloped countries, has come under scrutiny. Some feel that infant formula use may aggravate several infant conditions including insulin dependent diabetes mellitus[1], middle ear infections, and several bacterial infections[2]. The association of infant formula and allergies is still extremely controversial[3] and an association with lower cognitive development has also been studied, althoug ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - OccurrenceDue to its reactivity to air and many other oxygen containing substances, phosphorus is not found free in nature but it is widely distributed in many different minerals. Phosphate rock, which is partially made of apatite (an impure tri-calcium phosphate mineral) is an important commercial source of this element. Large deposits of apatite are in Russia, Morocco, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Utah, and elsewhere. There are however concerns over how long these phosphorus deposits will last. USA will deplete their deposits around 2035. China and Mo ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Vitamin C - Vitamin C deficiencyLack of ascorbic acid in the daily diet leads to a disease called scurvy, a form of avitaminosis that is characterized by:
loose teeth
superficial bleeding
fragility of blood vessels
poor healing
compromised immunity
mild anemia
It is eventually fatal, and was a common condition among sailors and during winter. Scurvy is now very rare in industrialized countries. It should not be confused with "subclinical scurvy" or "chronic scurvy", both high-dose advocate terms for the normal human condition of bl ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Vitamin C - Advocacy argumentsSince its discovery Vitamin C has been considered a universal panacea by some, although this led to suspicions of it being overhyped by others. It should be noted that many medical hypotheses proposed by scientists and researchers remain speculations and have yet to be proven by science.
The fact that man possesses three of the four enzymes that animals employ to manufacture ascorbates in relatively large amounts, has led researchers such as Irwin Stone and Linus Pauling to hypothesize that man's ancestors once manufactured this subst ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Vitamin C - Therapeutic usesVitamin C is needed in the diet to prevent scurvy. From its ready availability in pure form in the 1930s however some practitioners experimented in using vitamin C as a treatment for diseases other than scurvy. Most notable was Fred R. Klenner, a doctor in general practise in Reidsville, North Carolina. He utilised both oral and intravenous vitamin C to treat a wide range of infections and poisons. He published a paper in 1949 that described how he had seen poliomyelitis y ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Vitamin C - Food preparationIt is important to choose a suitable method of food preparation that conserves vitamin C content. When cooking vegetables, one should seek to minimize temperature and duration of cooking and not discard water used in preparation, e.g. by steam cooking or by making soup. Food source vitamin C is identical to that in supplements. The structure of vitamin C is well understood, see ascorbic acid, and there is no difference i ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - Biological rolePhosphorus is a key element in all known forms of life. Inorganic phosphorus in the form of the phosphate PO43- plays a major role in biological molecules such as DNA and RNA where it forms part of the structural backbone of these molecules. Living cells also utilize phosphate to transport cellular energy via adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Nearly every cellular process that uses energy gets it in the form of ATP. ATP is also important for phosphorylation, a key regulatory event in cells. Phospholipids are the main struct ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Phosphorus - Notable characteristicsCommon phosphorus forms a waxy white solid that has a characteristic disagreeable smell similar to that of garlic. Pure forms of the element are colorless and transparent. This nonmetal is not soluble in water, but it is soluble in carbon disulfide. Pure phosphorus ignites spontaneously in air and burns to phosphorus pentoxide.
Phosphorus - Forms.
Phosphorus exists in three allotropic forms: white , red, and black . Other allotropic forms may exist. The most common are red and white phosphorus, both of whi ...

On large scale commercial operations computers can be used to help control the different factors, making hydroponics more complex and thus more expensive. However, the added benefit of computer controlled growing environments is that manual intervention is kept to a minimum. There are experimental computer systems which allow every aspect of the gro ...

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Signal transduction - Types of signals
Signal transduction - Extracellular.
Signal transduction usually involves the binding of "extracellular" signaling molecules to receptors that face outwards from the membrane and trigger events inside. This takes place via a change in the shape or conformation of the receptor which occurs when the signal molecule "docks" or binds. Receptors typically respond only to the specific molecule or "ligand" for which they have affinity, and molecules that are even only slightly differ ...

Primary among the dissolved cations (positively-charged ions) are Ca2+ (calcium), Mg2+ (magnesium), and K+ (potassium); the major nutrient anions in nutrient solutions are NO3- (nitrate), SO42- (sulfate), and H2PO4- (phosphate).

|  |  |  | nutrient: Encyclopedia II - Hydroponics - MediaOne of the most obvious decisions a hydroponicist has to make is which medium they should use. Different media are appropriate for different growing techniques.
Hydroponics - Expanded Clay.
Also known as 'hydroton'(this is a trademarked name), these small round baked spheres of clay are inert and are extremely suitable for any hydroponic system where all the nutrients are carefully controlled in the water. Clay pebbles can be reused, provided they are cleaned thoroughly in-between crops. Baked clay pebbles are highly porous, yet irregularly shaped to create an ideal bal ...
