The community forms the living‚ or biotic part of the ecosystem. Energy‚ Minerals‚ Nutrients and water from the non-living or abiotic components. 1. Inorganic substances (C‚N‚CO2‚H20 etc) incolved in material cycles. 2. Organic compounds (Proteins‚ Carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ humic substances etc.)

Evaluate the impact of care in the community for adults with Mental Health problems. Care in the community is where a patient is no longer detained nor sectioned within a hospital institution. However‚ there must be at least three practitioners agreeing that it is necessary for the patient to be released into the community. Adults who may suffer from mental health problems can ask to be cared for within the community. Patients and their families are now more educated with a sense of empowerment

The Scientific Study of Life Mastering Concepts: 1. What characteristics distinguish the living from the nonliving? The characteristics that distinguish the living from the nonliving are that nonliving things reproduce and grow‚ use energy‚ have levels of organization‚ maintain constant internal conditions‚ and evolve. 2. List the levels of life’s organizational hierarchy from smallest to largest‚ starting with atoms and ending with the biosphere. Atoms‚ molecules‚ organelles‚ cells

Why a Bill of Rights and What Impact Does it Have? All have heard the saying‚ “Great minds think alike.” When many great minds of the colonies gathered to create a new government‚ two rarely thought exactly alike. The Bill of Rights was created through the kind of debate and exchange of ideas that it protects to this day. The Declaration of Independence states the purpose of government is to protect our basic human rights. This was one principle that all the Founders did agree on. But if

Experiment 8.1 Yes there was a change because with the starting snail population there was a great variation from 1-7. After the crab began eating only the snails with the thickest shells survived. The snails with the thinnest shells were eaten by the crab. Only snails with shell thickness 4-7 were left after the crab had their meal. The original snails with thickness 1-3 were eliminated from the population by the crab. The crab will usually try to expend as little enrgy as it can to maximaize its

Emulsifiers What does an emulsifier do? Emulsions in food are mixtures of oil and water. These normally do not mix and will separate if left without an emulsifier. Emulsifiers are among the most frequently used types of food additives. They are used for many reasons. Emulsifiers can help to make a food appealing. The example of the mayonnaise without the emulsifier shows how unappealing it would be if the oil and water separated before it was used. Emulsifiers have a big effect on the structure

2. The connection between what Wyatt Transgenics Company does‚ and the reference to the comic “The Swamp Thing” is‚ that they both have to deal with organisms that undergo some sort of manipulation. “The Swamp thing is an example of this. (Page 64-65) 3. The meaning of transgenic is when an organism is altered by having a gene from another species transferred into it. (Page 64) 4. The scientists make the animals develop the desired proteins by‚ putting original human genes in to the animals

THE KEY ROLES OF CELL DIVISION The ability of organisms to reproduce best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The continuity of life is based on reproduction of cells‚ or cell division. In unicellular organisms like amoeba‚ division of one cell reproduces the entire organism. Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: — Development from a fertilized cell — Growth — Repair Cell division is an integral part of the
