is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering‚ technology‚ medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes. For thousands of years‚ humans have used selective breeding to improve production of crops and livestock to use them for food. In selective breeding‚ organisms with desirable characteristics are mated to produce offspring with

of atoms and molecules that differs from the mixture of chemicals in the environment surrounding the cell. Organisms: independent living things‚ simplest forms of independent life are single-celled organisms Multicellular organisms are more complex organisms‚ having many kinds of cells‚ such as muscle cells‚ nerve cells‚ and gland cells. During the development of multicellular organisms‚ each cell differentiates or becomes specialized to carry out a particular function; body is made up

and many more. They are found in adult bone marrow‚ embryos‚ fetuses‚ and blood from the umbilical cord (Bailey 100). Stem cell research is the latest advancement in biotechnology which shows how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. This technique has lead scientists to research about the possibility of cell-based therapies to treat disease‚ which is often referred to as regenerative or reparative medicine. The stem cell formation

Cloning is a process in which an exact replica is made from an organism‚ cell‚ or tissue. The duplicate contains the same genetic information as the original. When most people think of cloning they think of the cloning of humans that is seen in movies. Cloning can occur in many ways than just one. A lot of cloning happens naturally. Bacteria are an example of naturally occurring cloning. Bacteria can produce a genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual

variety‚ but living creatures can take in energy from the environment. This energy‚ in the form of food‚ is transformed to maintain metabolic processes and for survival. Life grows and develops. This means more than just getting larger in size. Living organisms also have the ability to rebuild and repair themselves when injured. Life can reproduce. Have you ever seen dirt reproduce? I don’t think so. Life can only come from other living creatures. Life can respond. Think about the last time you accidentally

Interactions with the environment- organisms are open system that exchange material and energy with their surroundings. 6. Energy and life: all organisms must perform work‚ which required energy.

Plant/Animal Comparison On this planet‚ there are many types of organisms. Many of these are plants and animals. Organisms must have certain essential systems in order to survive. However‚ how these systems uphold their structure between plants and animals is very diverse—even different animals have different structural systems‚ varying on the species quite greatly. Structural Systems The structural system of an animal is made of bones‚ quite commonly. It also may be made of cartilage‚ the material

is the study of interrelationship between living organisms and their environment. Life and environment are interdependent. The plant and animal life is effected by various environmental factors and in turn they modify their environment in various ways. The main theme of ecological studies is the relationship between organisms and environment‚ so ecology may well be called as "Environmental Biology." Growth‚ development and destruction of all organisms is determined by physical and biological conditions

Makuluva Field trip reflection Arishma chandS11099150 Heading to Makuluva reef islet The trip to Makuluva reef Islet was a really exciting and exhausting trip for me as it empowers me to learn new concepts concerning the terrestrial and marine organisms that are found in the islet. Also I got learn a lot of new flora and fauna species and its scientific terms that I had in my course of study. Before we board‚ the boat we were told by the capital to put on our life jacket for our own safety. I was
