Microscopy Introduction What is life? What are the key factors that biologists have defined that apply to every single organism on the planet? In the 17th century‚ due to the amazing advancement of the microscope‚ biologists created a theory to differentiate the living from the non-living called the cell theory. One concept from the theory is that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells. The importance of studying cells is akin to the importance of studying life. By being able
Premium Bacteria Eukaryote Cell
All living things have evolved into three groups‚ or domains‚ of closely related organisms: Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukaryota. Archaea and Bacteria are small‚ simple cells surrounded by a membrane and a cell wall‚ with a circular strand of DNA containing their genes. They do not contain a nucleus or other internal structures that higher cells may have. These are called prokaryotes. Basically all the life you see today‚ including plants and animals‚ belongs to the third domain‚ Eukaryota. Eukaryotic

living things produce new organisms similar or identical to themselves. This has to happen because if a species were not able to reproduce‚ that species would quickly become extinct. Reproduction consists of a basic pattern: the conversion by a parent organism of raw materials into offspring or cells that will later develop into offspring. The reproductive process‚ whether asexual or sexual always involves an exchange in hereditary material from the parents so that the new organism may also be able to

However‚ genetically modified organisms and products awaken apprehension regarding their affect on people’s health and the environment. There are therefore laws that regulate the use and exposure of these organisms. In the European Union there was a five-year moratorium on the approval of new genetically modified crops‚ which ended in May 2004 when type Bt-11 corn was

Objective: The goal of this lab is to identify and explore common features between organisms of the same kingdom. Theoretical Background: Plantlike Protists: - commonly referred to as algae - have organelles called chloroplasts

genetics‚ that examines heritable changes in gene expression in organisms (active versus inactive genes) that doe not involve changes in the underlying DNA sequence. This means a change in phenotype occurs‚ which changes the observable characteristics of an organism‚ while the genotype of the organisms stays the same. Although‚ epigenetic changes are regular and naturally occurring‚ other factors can influence the phenotype of an organism. Some of these factors include age‚ environment‚ and disease

Genetic engineering is the scientific manipulation of genes in order to modify the offspring of an organism. It may work with plants‚ humans or other animals. However‚ the various forms of this technology have led many to argue that the manipulation of genes constitutes a threat to humans and disturb the delicate balance of biodiversity which exists in nature. The main concern of human genetic engineering is that it may possibly change the genetic characteristics of unborn babies. It is widely
