Abstract: : The purpose of studying the biological organisms in the Mpenjati estuary-beach system is to distinguish between organisms and estimate diversity within the estuary found at different locations along the estuary-beach profile in accordance with factors affecting the daily routines of these marine life and other aspects in which these organisms concur with. The organisms found in these waters play an important role in the ecosystems they function in therefore it is imperative to seek a

chemical processes occur in various living organisms. In biology you learn about living organisms and their composition. Organisms are alive because of chemistry. Chemistry is the one science in which all the other sciences are based. No matter what you are studying in biology‚ be it plants‚ animals‚ microbiology‚ etc.‚ in order to fully understand it‚ you need to be able to understand the chemical reactions that need to take place in order for whatever organism you are studying to have life.

The regulation of internal environment by animals: homoeostasis All living organisms have ideal environmental conditions for survival and reproduction. Animals have an internal environment as well as the external environment they are living in. If their internal environment deviates too much from the ideal they may experience reduced function or even die. Homoeostasis is the adapted ability of an organism to regulate its internal environment to deal with changes in the external environment. (Raven

which comprise the vast majority of any organism’s gene repertoire‚ are common between Archaea and Bacteria. In terms of their cell structures‚ Archaea are indistinguishable from Gram-positive bacteria. Within prokaryotes‚ only these two groups of organisms are bounded by a single unit lipid membrane‚ and they generally contain a thick sacculus of varying chemical composition. Some Archaea also show positive Gram staining and a few of them‚ similar to certain Gram-positive bacteria‚ do not contain any
