History”). This disease was realized as a tick-borne illness in 1978‚ but in 1981 Willy Burgdorfer found the cause to this mystery. Dr. Burgdorfer ’s research concerned the interactions between animal and human disease agents and their transmitting arthropod vectors‚ particularly ticks‚ fleas and mosquitoes (“Burgdorfer”). The first case of Lyme was reported in 1883‚ when a scientist called it a degenerative skin disorder (“Lyme disease History”). Between 1920 and 1934‚ the disease is found to be associated

Animals are creatures in the kingdom Animilia‚ one of the kingdoms in Whitakers 5 kingdom system. Their bodies consist of 555tanimal eukaryotic cells.

The seven processes of life The seven processes of life are the key to all living organisms: these processes consist of nutrition‚ growth‚ movement‚ respiration‚ reproduction‚ sensitivity and excretion. Although‚ they may be achieved in different ways depending on the organism. These processes happen with in both plants and animals; in each organ‚ cell and organelle. All these processes are interlinked and have a chain effect upon one another. Without one of them the others aren’t possible.

Chapter 25: History of Life on Earth Synthesis of Organic Compounds on Early Earth * The Earth probably formed about 4.6 billion years ago‚ and was bombarded with rocks and other material until about 3.9 billion years ago. * The Earth then cooled‚ allowing for the formation of oceans. Scientists hypothesize the general atmosphere‚ or at least some regions‚ were naturally reducing environments‚ meaning that they added electrons to compounds. * Activation energy provided by lightening

The Study of Insects and their Relatives Insects and their terrestrial relatives belong to the phylum called Arthropoda and have inhabited the earth for an extensive time. Paleontologists show that the earliest fossils‚ most primitive forms of arthropods date back to the Devonian Period over 350 million years ago (Henning 1981). By the Age of Dinosaurs‚ 300 million years ago‚ insects were abundant in number and diversity. Like the dinosaurs‚ some pre-historic forms of insects were enormous: the

Introduced species have had a drastic effect on Australian agriculture’s production and economy‚ and continue to pose an ever-growing threat. Invasive plant species are highly adaptable‚ resistant to control and spread aggressively. Methods of controlling these invasive species can often be expensive‚ time-consuming and controversial. Introduced plants can have drastic effects on natural ecosystems by smothering native vegetation‚ degrading creeks and rivers‚ and spreading diseases. Sometimes introduced
