Unknown Organism Report Unknown Organism # 4 Klebsiella pneumonia Klebsiella pneumonia has a rod gram stain with the agar slant cultural characteristics being slimy‚ white‚ somewhat translucent‚ raised growth. It is small gram-negative coccobacilli that can cause lobar pneumonia. The litmus milk reaction is acid‚ gas‚ and curd with a variable reaction. Klebsiella can grow either in the presence or absence of oxygen because of its nature of being a facultative anaerobe. Oxygen is a preferred energy

The question being looked into is “What is the water quality of the U-High creek‚ based on invertebrates found in the U-High Creek? “Dissolved oxygen is oxygen mixed with water. The range to measure how much dissolved oxygen is in a solution is 1-14 milligrams per liter. This is important because fish and other organisms in the ocean breathe off of dissolved oxygen. Phosphorus is used to measure the relative acidity of solutions such as water. The range for pH is measured in 0-14 scale. 0-6 is unhealthy

A Human Is A Complex Organism Human beings are complex and special organisms as there is a complex organisation of cells in the human body. The organisation in the human body is summarised as follows: Cells—> Tissues—> Organs—> Systems—> Organism.The same type of cells which carry out a specific function are organised into a tissue. For example‚ a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform specific functions as the result of cells in the human body

Coolant and cutting fluid management Contamination of coolants and loss of cutting fluid through chip waste is one of the most time consuming and costly situations for a company. That is where fluid management comes into play. There are many ways to fight contamination and fluid loss. Loss of cutting fluid and coolants through chip waste can be solved with a briquetter. A briquetter is a machine that compresses your chips and turnings into a briquette squeezing out ninety percent of your expensive

Introduction Water is necessary to life but it can be unhealthy too. In general‚ the water quality is poor in developing countries like Kenya. Water is a vector of diseases like yellow fever‚ diarrhea… Water purification is very important in these countries but people don’t have a lot of time to spare‚ they work or they are in the field and in general women must spend a significant amount of time walking to collect water. So we need to find a quick‚ easy‚ and economic solution that is as simple

Is it possible to protect the environment when many countries require increasing amounts of energy to boost economic progress? According to Alan M. Eddison‚ “Modern technology owes ecology an apology.” This is definitely true as economies and technologies have developed recklessly at the expense of the environment. The world has seen huge increases in consumption of the Earth’s scarce resources ever since the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s and countries‚ especially the developed countries

water exists in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous states water referred to universal solvent ( bipolar molecule enables it to dissolve a wide variety of substances) ice floats ( temperatures drop molecules come together as a solid‚ elections repell (the molecules get less close thus making the ice have less density than water. If this did not occur ice could sink and destroy living organism. (sea animals) Thermal properties Water resist temperature change‚ due to high specific heat which in turn helps

What is a genetically modified organism? A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using techniques in genetics generally known as recombinant DNA technology. Viruses‚ bacteria‚ fungi‚ plants‚ and animals are all examples of organisms that have been engineered so that they contain genes from at least on unrelated organism. To create a genetically modified organism a molecule from a different source are combined into another molecule to create

A Genetically Modified Organism is an organism whose inherited matter has been altered using heritable engineering techniques. It is basically a special set of technologies that alter the genetic makeups in organisms that vary‚ such as plants‚ animals‚ or bacteria. Combining genes from different species is known as recombinant DNA technology‚ and the outcome organism is known as genetically modified. Now the question lies‚ is genetically modified organisms needed to suppress hunger? In my opinion
