Calorie Count. A 2-ounce serving of traditional dried udon noodles may contain about 190 calories. That's less than 10 percent of the needs in a typical 2,000-calorie diet, making this a waistline-friendly food when eaten in moderate portions. Whole-wheat udon noodles are even lighter, containing just 180 calories in the same serving. Both noodles are somewhat better for weight management than traditional spaghetti, which contains about 211 calories per 2 ounces.
Biogenesis is the production of new living organisms or organelles. The law of biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur, is the observation that living things come only from other living things, by reproduction (e.g. a spider lays eggs, which develop into spiders).
Cancers and tumors are caused by a series of mutations. Each mutation alters the behavior of the cell somewhat. Carcinogenesis, also called oncogenesis or tumorigenesis, is the formation of a cancer, whereby normal cells are transformed into cancer cells. The process is characterized by changes at the cellular, genetic, and epigenetic levels and abnormal cell division.
