Biology and Behavior Animal testing is not a problem in today’s society because it is beneficial to humans. It seems unethical to put animals through such pain and torture‚ but if we stopped it completely there would be a large amount of human lives lost. How could this be? The further advancements in medical and technological science is inevitable. Therefore‚ if the testing must be done to learn more about the brain and body‚ which species (animals or man) seems expendable for such testing. The

What Shapes an Ecosystem? Ecosystems are made up of: * Biotic factors- all living parts of an ecosystem (plants‚ animals‚ bacteria) * Abiotic factors- all nonliving (but natural) parts of an ecosystem (soil‚ wind‚ water) These factors together (biotic and abiotic) determine which types of organisms can live in that particular ecosystem. A habitat- the place where an organism lives- includes both biotic and abiotic factors A niche includes both the habitat of an organism and its unique
