Carbon dioxide is both a vital requirement for producers – the first organisms in any food chain‚ and at times a dangerous waste product. Where plants use carbon dioxide during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis‚ at night they also produce small quantities due to respiration. Fundamentally‚ carbon dioxide reacts with ribulose bisphosphate to produce glycerate 3-phosphate in the light independent reaction. In turn glycerate3-phosphate is reduced to triose phosphate using reduced NADP

title page picture What is the purpose for Genetically Modified Organisms? The purpose of GMOs is to make life easier for humans. GMOs are created with the well-being of humankind in focus. The many benefits that GMOs have today demonstrate this. They are used in research in medical fields‚ as well as in agriculture and pharmaceuticals. GMOs are beneficial to countries that suffer from any kind of nutritional deficiency. It is well-known that vitamins‚ proteins and fat are an important part

“Biology gives you a brain. Life turns it into a mind” (Eugenides). Biology is the study of life. The biological community is changing everyday due to scientist. There is one scientist who has contributed many studies to the biological community and that is Robert Koch. This paper‚ filled with research‚ will explain the life of Robert Koch and his contribution to biology. On December 11‚ 1843‚ at Clausthal in the Upper Harz Mountain‚ which is located in the Northern Germany‚ Robert Koch was born

Research how humans interact with micro-organisms and use this information to write a discussion for your report. Basic structure and function Explain the parts and how they work for fungi and bacteria Most fungal species are multicellular. Most fungi do not have flagella in any phase of their life cycle. They move toward food by growing toward it. The main body of most fungi is made up of fine‚ branching‚ and usually colourless threads called hyphae. Each fungus will have vast numbers
