The Human Being—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 examples‚ a group of muscle cells form a muscle tissue while a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform

Simple Staining Simple staining is useful in determining the basic morphology of an organism. Simple staining involves only one reagent i.e. crystal violet‚ basic fuchsin‚ or methylene blue. Simple dyes used to stain bacteria have a positive charge cationic (+)‚ therefore‚ they are attracted to the bacteria that are usually negatively charged anionic (-) Depends

LO6-1 Use elasticity to describe the responsiveness of quantities to changes in price and distinguish five elasticity terms. LO6-2 Explain the importance of substitution in determining elasticity of supply and demand. LO6-3 Relate price elasticity of demand to total revenue. LO6-4 Define and calculate income elasticity and cross-price elasticity of demand. LO6-5 Explain how the concept of elasticity makes supply and demand analysis more useful. Summary Elasticity is defined as percentage change in

Genetically Modified Organisms are Harmful For the past 25 years the United States has been putting their people in harm’s way. They have been doing this by allowing government agencies to grow and sell genetically modified foods and organisms to the public without informing them of what they’re consuming (2011 responsibletechnology.org). Most people do not know that a large quantity of the foods they are eating are not natural and are actually mutations of real healthy foods that take tons of chemicals
