Carnivory‚ defined as the consumption of animal tissue‚ is often only associated with the animal kingdom. However the existence of carnivory is widespread and diverse in the plant and fungi kingdoms as well. Specifically carnivorous plants‚ which originally descended from exclusively photosynthetic plants‚ have evolved elaborate‚ efficient‚ and diverse methods to capture‚ digest‚ and metabolize

CHAPTER 1 Introduction and Its Background Introduction Infectious diseases are one of the main contributors to global mortality and morbidity. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms‚ such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ parasites or fungi. These diseases can be spread‚ directly or indirectly‚ from one person to another. Vaccines‚ antibiotics‚ and many other advances have lessened the impact of infectious diseases. Unfortunately‚ this has not been true everywhere. It has not been true in

Investigation: How does the number of maggots in the mass affect the temperature of maggot mass and development of maggots in the mass? Abstract The aim of this investigation is to find a correlation between the number of maggots in the mass and the temperature of maggot mass. To find the correlation the different number of maggots in each mass was placed in (the isolated by glass beakers) polystyrene cups. The internal temperature of masses was obtained regularly every 10 minutes during 30
