building up of molecules in order to make energy available for needed functions. Third is motility. Motility is the ability of an organism to self-move under its own power. Fourth is Responsiveness. Responsiveness is the organism’s ability to react to its environment and surroundings. Fifth is reproduction. Reproduction is an organisms ability to create a like organism.

SPECIES- group of organisms that is capable of breeding offspring‚ or mating‚ with another in nature to produce fertile offspring. Individual members of a species may look very different from eachother. Such differences among members of a species are known as variations Natural selection

unrelated species. Usually this is done in order to get one organism to produce proteins‚ which it would not naturally produce. The genes taken from one species‚ which code for a particular protein‚ are put into cells of another species‚ using a vector. This can result in the cells producing the desired protein. It is used for producing proteins which can be used by humans‚ such as insulin for diabetics and is also used to make organisms better at surviving‚ for example genetically modifying a plant

Course Description This course is designed to introduce biology at an entry level by examining the hierarchy that ranges from the fundamentals of cell biology to the physiology of organisms‚ and the interactions among those organisms in their environment. The topics in this course include cell biology‚ genetics‚ molecular biology‚ evolution‚ physiology‚ and ecology. Policies Faculty and students/learners will be held responsible for understanding and

New properties emerge at each level in the biological Hierarchy Organisms interact with other organisms and the physical environment Life requires energy transfer and transformation Structure‚ and function are correlated at all levels of biological organization Cell is an organism’s basic unit of structure and function The continuity of life is based on heritable information

microbiologists have discovered that the mitochondria contain their own set of genetic DNA. This has been explained using the concept of coevolution. In this process‚ two organisms respond to one another’s strength and weaknesses in order to further their ability to survive and reproduce. It is theorized that mitochondria were originally separate organisms that evolved with cells in order to benefit each other. The mitochondria produce energy for the cell and the cell reproduces itself and the mitochondria. This

There are millions of organisms on earth‚ and new ones are being discovered all the time‚ yet all living organisms perform one or both of two very important processes; cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is performed by plant organisms and some bacteria‚ and cellular respiration is performed by all living organisms. These two processes are reliant on each other. Photosynthesis creates oxygen‚ which is used in cellular respiration. Cellular respiration in turn creates carbon dioxide

be taken by supporters of the land ethic’ to support an ecosystem that was threatened. The individual components that comprise the ecosystem are not of great concern to supporters of this theory; they would argue that a threat to an individual organism‚ even protected or endangered‚ should be evaluated on whether or not the protected or endangered species does endanger the integrity of the whole system. A supporter of the land ethic argument would have consequences to weigh regarding the value
