report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat those who suffer from breathing problems. Oxygen is used as

JEBA INBARASU Organism Physiology is the method in which many diverse living organisms are considered to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth that can be defined as Evolution. Several organisms have evolved as a result of environmental changes within their habitats. Example is a diagram of a whale and details about how the whale has evolved

How bacteria can affect the lives of humans and other organisms Bacteria can enter the body in 3 different ways. Through the gas exchange system‚ by breathing in pathogens‚ most are trapped in the mucus lining in the lung epithelium. There are also cilia that move the mucus up the trachea and into the mouth where it is removed. However some bacteria is still able to reach the alveoli where they invade cells and cause damage. Another way it can enter the body is through the skin‚ if the skin is

The Effects of Cell Phone Use From now on‚ people will rely on phones more and more. A great many reasons lead to Cell Phone Use‚ I just list 3 main reasons. The first reason is that we used most of time going for working in fast-paced modern life‚ So we spent that time easily to watch movies‚ read news‚ chatting‚ and play games by phones‚ not only waiting. The second reason is that we can acquire a great many knowledge from web by phones. The last reason is that phones can bridge gap‚ people

essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water from agricultural runoff‚ industrial waste‚ and sewage discharge

Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis Organelles Mitochondria Chloroplast Organelle Structures The double-membraned mitochondrion can be loosely described as a large wrinkled bag packed inside of a smaller‚ unwrinkled bag. The two membranes create distinct compartments within the organelle‚ and are themselves very different in structure and in function. Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. The stroma is an area inside of the chloroplast where reactions occur and starches

Paper Photosynthesis is the process that captures energy from sunlight and make sugars to store for chemical energy‚ whereas cellular respiration is the process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. In addition‚ cellular respiration takes place in both plant and animal cells while photosynthesis only takes place in plant cells‚ but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s less important to animals in the long run. Photosynthesis is

Introduction As stated in the Bio 107 Laboratory Manual‚ alcohol fermentation in yeast breaks down sugars into carbon dioxide and ethanol which is very important in many fields such as biofuel‚ industrial‚pharmaceutical and others. Amylase is an enzyme that break down starch/amylose in plants. Corn kernel contains starch‚ sugars and cellulose. This experiment focused on the effect of amylase on corn extract in respect to the rate of fermentation. Since amylase breaks down starch‚ the part of corn that contains
