Based on the movie‚ the genetic breakthrough that happened were the drugs ALZ 112 and ALZ 113 that were labeled as the cure to the Alzheimer’s disease. These drugs contained a virus that lead organisms with strong immune systems to have heightened intelligence‚ full cognitive recovery‚ increased memory quality‚ and faster reparation of brain cells‚ although harmful to those with weak immune systems. In my own opinion‚ the evolutionary manipulation

will be discussed further in the chapter on chemistry. Cells are considered to be the smallest structure that is alive. They are often too small to see without the aid of a microscope. All living organisms are composed of cells. The smallest organisms are composed of a single cell; larger organisms are composed of more than one cell. Similar kinds of cells may be arranged together to form a tissue. Tissues have specific properties and functions. For example muscle tissue is composed of muscle

Tolerance range: the range of conditions – for example‚ temperature that an organism can survive in. Tolerance range also affects the distribution of an organism meaning where they live. To live in a basic habitat an organism must have access to the basic requirements

autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms make their own food by the process of photosynthesis e.g. plants. Heterotrophic organisms cannot make their own food (i.e. cannot carry out photosynthesis)‚ therefore must eat other organisms to get their nutrients e.g. animals. A food chain is the feeding relationship among organisms or the series of living organisms that eat each other. A food chain shows the transfer of energy from one organism to another. In drawing a food chain‚ we use

metabolism. Cells‚ the basic units of life‚ can perform many of these metabolic reactions. In a multicelled organism‚ the cells group together to form tissues that perform the same functions. Tissues group together to form organs‚ and finally‚ several organs exist together in a system. In this lesson‚ we will see how and why this hierarchy is established.

Invasive Species have been described as an organism which is not native‚ and causes negative effects on the ecosystem‚ and to the health of humans. These organisms can be Fauna‚ Flora (Flora and Fauna refer to plant and wildlife‚ respectively)‚ a fungus or a bacterium. However‚ not all introduced species are invasive‚ but invasive Fauna and Flora‚ have been said to be the 2nd greatest threat to biodiversity post habitat loss. In his book‚ Invasive Species in a Changing World‚ Richard J. Hobbs (2013)

Biotechnology is “the manipulation of biological systems and organisms through technological means”(p. 471). There is tension between valuing liberty to pursue happiness of biotechnologies‚ and the potential negative outcomes of these technologies. Bioengineering‚ is the construction of machines to alter or supplement organisms. Biotechnologies result in therapeutic effects or extraordinary forms of enhancement
