These components affect living organisms in many ways. Some of the soluble components and emulsions are poisonous‚ particularly to small organisms that do not have protective coverings or shells- Fish larvae‚ single celled algae and many kinds of plankton are vulnerable and these are the basic foundation of the marine food chain. In shallow water these toxic substances may directly kill algae‚ coral and sea grasses. These components may also be passed in the food chain or directly ingested or absorbed

introduction of a new species from elsewhere can greatly affect the balance of nature. What is a virus? A virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Most viruses are too small to be seen directly with a light microscope. Viruses infect all types of organisms‚ from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea. All viruses have genes made from either DNA or RNA‚ long molecules that carry genetic information; all have a protein coat that protects these

At the beginning of the semester‚ samples of bacteria were obtained from various sources. Two bacterial colonies were isolated from plates that were incubated in the lab and these bacteria became the basis for this project. The bacterial cultures were maintained and used for various physiological‚ cultural‚ and biochemical tests and observations over several weeks. The purpose of culturing bacteria over half the course of the semester was to learn various techniques used in microbiology labs and

Differentiating Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells‚ Distinguish Among Plant‚ Animal‚ and Protist Cells‚ and Identifying the Organelles that are Evident in Them Introduction There are two different types of cells‚ prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes‚ such as bacteria‚ lack a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of a single molecule of singular DNA. Eukaryotes‚ such as plant and animal cells‚ have a nuclear membrane and other membrane
