Cycle Living organisms are significant in the recycling of numerous elements contained in an ecosystem. One of the elements is carbon. Carbon is nonmetal‚ forms over ten million different compounds‚ found in minerals‚ oceans‚ and is the main component of biological compounds. So how do living organisms and their biochemical reactions contribute to the recycling of carbon? Carbon moves through the ecosystem in a cycle‚ in which the living organisms take and release different

occur in various living organisms. Chemistry is the one science in which all the other sciences are based. In biology you learn about living organisms and their composition. Organisms are alive because of chemistry - Why we breathe oxygen‚ how we make energy‚ elimination of waste products‚ cellular respiration‚ etc. All of these are based on how living organisms use chemistry to live. Biological organisms have chemical compositions. Carbon is found in all living organisms. After that‚ because there

Linneaus distinguished himself by classifying living organisms ac- cording to their similarities and differences. Classification schemes came to be based less on similarities and differences in form and more on evolutionary relatedness among species. Species that diverged from the same ancestors were grouped into the same categories. Cells: Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann‚ both proposed the cell theory‚ which states that all organisms are composed of cells and that all cells come from

Explain why removing the capuchin monkeys from the rainforest ecosystem would have a negative impact to other living organisms like squirrel monkeys‚ insects‚ raptors and palm plants. The capuchin monkeys have an important role in the rainforest ecosystem and removing them would make a negative impact to other living organisms that benefit from them. Just like the squirrel monkeys‚ they depend on the capuchin monkeys for food for they get the leftovers of the capuchin

Biology 1C March 3‚ 2011 Extreme Environment of Lake Vostok in Antarctica Throughout the earth‚ there are so many places that are so extreme that we thought that no living things could adapt to the environment. Interestingly‚ there are some organisms that can inhabit in extreme environments‚ and they are extremeophiles‚ which are microbes that can thrive and adapt under extreme conditions. There are many types of extreme environment‚ such as extremely cold or hot‚ too acidic‚ lacking of water

Explain why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both important to a living organism. When would an organism need to undergo the process of mitosis? Meiosis? What would happen if meiosis did not occur? Mitosis is the cell process of growth and division whereas meiosis is the process of developing reproductive cells. The sperm and egg are critical components for almost all living organisms. Every living organism begins with one cell that came from our father’s sperm fertilizing our mother’s

Evolution of the Regenerative Properties in Crayfish Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs‚ tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy‚ resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish)‚ compete for food‚ survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the

For instance‚ a forest community would contain animals‚ plants‚ and insects all of which are affected by the nonliving matter that surrounds them. The last of the first four systems is called a population. A population is a group of one type of organism‚ group‚ or individuals who interact with each other. The
