which is made up of plants; Protista‚ which is made up of protists (single-celled creatures invisible to the human eye); Fungi‚ which is made up of mushrooms‚ mold‚ yeast‚ lichen‚ etc; and Monera‚ which is made up of the three types of bacteria. The next category is the Phylum. There are several phyla within each kingdom. The phyla start to break the animals (or plants‚ fungi‚ etc) into smaller and more recognizable groups. The best known phylum is Chordata‚ which contains all animals with backbones

Once it was discovered that a fungus was impacting the golden frogs‚ scientists began to learn of other amphibian populations across every continent declining at an equally rapid rate because of the same fungi. Kolbert describes amphibians as one of the planet’s great survivors with ancestors tracing back to a time before dinosaurs‚ which creates even more concern as many species quickly become threatened. While it was at first puzzling to know how this

Peppered Moth Simulation Assignment 1. These moths are called “peppered moths” because of the dark spots on their wings 2. Some of the peppered moth’s predators include flycatchers‚ nuthatches and the European robin. 3. Lichens are fungi that cover the barks of trees. The colour of lichens look very similar to the pattern of the peppered moth’s wings 4. The larvae of the moth eat leaves from birch‚ willow‚ and oak trees. 5. Since the peppered moth lives less than one year‚ during the winter

* NCERT 1. Reproduction in Organisms INTRODUCTION Biology in essence is the story of life on earth. While individual organisms die without fail‚ species continue to live through millions of years unless threatened by natural or anthropogenic extinction. Reproduction becomes a vital process without which species cannot survive for long. Each individual leaves its progeny by asexual or sexual means. Sexual mode of reproduction enables creation of new variants‚ so that survival advantage is enhanced

by the enzymes of bacteria and fungi that can spoil food. Benzoquinone reflects light of orange wavelengths and absorbs light of green wavelengths‚ which makes us measure enzymatic activity by measuring light absorbance. There is a hypothesis that enzyme kept at 37 degrees Celsius will show the most absorbance which shows most enzymatic activity. Also calcium and magnesium are hypothesized as the cofactors necessary in the functioning of enzymes in bacteria and fungi that spoil food‚ due to EDTA binding
