Tissue is made up of many cells‚ the building blocks of life. Tucked inside the body’s cells‚ you will find chromosomes. These structures house your genes and contain the DNA code necessary

together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.[3] As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚[4] they can be of any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces[5] (although some scientists say that the entire planet is an ecosystem).[6] Energy‚ water‚ nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components of an ecosystem. The energy that flows through ecosystems is obtained primarily from the sun. It

Bacteria Bacteria are microscopic organisms whose single cells have neither a membrane-enclosed nucleus nor other membrane-enclosed organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Another group of microbes‚ the archaea‚ meet these criteria but are very different from the bacteria in other ways. In fact‚ there is considerable evidence that you are more closely related to the archaea than they are to the bacteria! Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals‚ but belong to a group

It continues to coil even more (Supercoiling)‚ arranging itself on histones‚ which are proteins. 2. Nitrogen bases determine the traits of living organisms by coding the 20 amino acids. The order of the amino acids determines what protein is made; therefore‚ proteins are the makeup of all living organisms. Proteins regulate

The fact that Creon refuses to entomb Polyneices (who is dead)‚ but insists on entombing Antigone (still alive)‚ shows how far from rational he has become.
