DEFINITIONS * Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy. * The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing (except virus‚ which consists only from DNA/RNA covered by protein and lipids)‚ and is often called the building block of life. Organisms can be classified

In biology species can become isolated from other species through a number of processes. These isolation processes keep the two species from interbreeding and producing hybrid offspring. There are five separate isolation processes that prevent two species capable of producing offspring from being able to do so. Ecological Isolation Ecological‚ or habitat‚ isolation is when two species that could interbreed do not because the species live in different areas. For example‚ in the wild of India both

Biology textbook- pg. 80 3) Distinguish between the autotrophic and heterotrophic nature of plants and animals. Animals have heterotrophic cells; hence‚ they live off nutrients of other species by eating. Most plants have autotrophic cells‚ which allow them to generate their own food with photosynthesis. 4) Explain the following statement: ‘All living things depend on plants’. As animals are heterotrophs‚ they need to eat other species to survive. If mammals only depended on other mammals‚ there

Tomato Sweetness Jessica Pursell American InterContinental University 01/18/2015 Biology IP2 Introduction You and your neighbor have small kitchen gardens where you both grow tomatoes. His blotchy green and red tomatoes taste much sweeter than your perfectly uniform red ones. Could the sweetness of the tomatoes be effected by the green chloroplasts in the fruit? Hypothesis I personally think that the green chloroplasts do play a part in the sweetness of the tomatoes because it doesn’t
