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).
The generation of life from non-living material is called abiogenesis, and occurred at least once in the history of the Earth, or in the history of the Universe (see panspermia), when life first arose. The term biogenesis may also refer to biochemical processes of production in living organisms (see biosynthesis).
