their legs above their bodies‚ their hairs grow away from the extremities in order to provide protection from the elements while the sloth hangs upside down. In most conditions‚ the fur hosts two species of symbiotic cyanobacteria‚ which provide camouflage.[4][5] Because of the cyanobacteria‚ sloth fur is a small ecosystem of its own‚ hosting many species of non-parasitic insects. Sloths have short‚ flat heads; big eyes; a short snout; long legs; and tiny ears. They might have stubby tails (6–7 cm long)

Aerobic respiration is a characteristic of eukaryotic cells‚ even though prokaryotic cells can use aerobic respiration as well. Helps produce allot of ATP. Example: Kreb’s Cycle. Anaerobic: Doesn’t require oxygen to survive and perform life functions. (Anaerobe-Organisms that don’t require oxygen to live)

are similar to higher plants‚ but they lack many of the distinct organs that you will find in a higher plant. The higher plants are believed to have evolved from algae‚ and algae are believed to have gotten their capacity for photosynthesis from cyanobacteria. Algae can be unicellular as well as multi-cellular. Large and complex forms found in the ocean are commonly referred to as seaweed and can look very similar to higher plants. Algae are voluntarily and involuntarily kept by many aquarists. Some

By examining the pond water with the 100X lens‚ the student was able to differentiate and classify 1) the cyanobacteria: nostoc due to its distinctive S shape and beads with surrounding cells‚ 2) two nematodes (phylum nematoda) parallel to one another (the nematodes appeared as slender worms‚ colorless‚ and encompassed of cells)‚ and 3) the cyanobacteria: anabaena‚ which was blue-green in its feature with long filaments of cells (resembling a seaweed structure).

Cyanobacteria is also known as Cyanophyta‚ is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis and the name "cyanobacteria" comes from the colour of the bacteria. “They are often called blue-green algae‚ lying along the leeward coast of the islet where there is less wind or the opposite area of

Oparin and Haldane’s Theory: The chemical evolution of life is the most widely accepted theory of origin of life. It is based on the fact that primitive earth was different from the earth which is present today. It was proposed by Russian bio-chemist‚ A.I Oparin (1923) and was supported by Englishman J.B.S Haldane (1928). This theory can be well-explained under the following headings: i. Biogeny ii. Chemogeny iii. Cognogeny 1. Formation of the earth: i. When the earth was formed‚ it was extremely

For as long as I can remember‚ I have been fascinated by marine life. I visited the Baltimore Aquarium many times as a child; I remember being amazed by the different kinds of animals I saw. I spent my summers at the library reading about marine organisms‚ their habitats‚ their adaptations‚ and how they interacted with other organisms. In middle school‚ I participated in a project that consisted of decorating the classroom to represent a biome‚ and I worked on the marine biome. In the summer before
