Continue of Properties of Life: in sexual reproduction‚ two parents contribute genetic information in the form of a gamete. The gametes fuse and an offspring is produced from the fertilized egg. The fourth property of all living organisms possess is that populations of organisms evolve over many generations. Adaptations are inherited characteristics that allow organisms to survive in a particular environment. The seahorse has evolved and adapted camouflage. Which property is NOT a property of all

The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Some cells are complete organisms‚ such as the unicellular bacteria and protozoa; others‚ such as nerve‚ liver‚ and muscle cells‚ are specialized components of multi-cellular organisms. Cells range in size from the smallest bacteria-like mycoplasmas‚ which are 0.1 micrometer in diameter‚ to the egg yolks of ostriches‚ which are about 8 cm (about 3 in) in diameter. Although they may differ widely in appearance and function‚ all cells

of Part A in this experiment‚ it can be determined that Sodium Chloride had the highest amount of conductivity tested by all groups. On the graph above‚ the data shows that NaCl (sodium chloride) held the highest amount of electrical conductivity for all groups and on the table it reads the highest numbers across its row. Also as seen in the data above‚ ethanol had the lowest amount of conductivity with sucrose‚ acetic acid‚ ammonia‚ and MgCl2 following in ascending order. It can also be determined
