He was so very poor that he got his living through planting in his small backyard. He was the only human‚ living in the forest but he has many animals who lives with him. One day‚ Jack

Strong evidence suggests that different types of photosynthetic cyanobacteria underwent endosymbiosis that evolved into different

The process of modifying the genetic composition of a mammal scientist starts with Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA makes up the genes of all living things and by using DNA sequencing scientist are able

Basic Ecology Terms: Ecology- the study of how organisms interact with their environment Organism- a living thing that gets food‚ water‚ shelter‚ and other things it needs to live‚ grow‚ and reproduce from its environment Habitat- environment that provides needed things Biotic Factors- the living part of a habitat Abiotic Factors- the non-living part of a habitat (soil‚ oxygen‚ water‚ sunlight‚ temperature) Species- a group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that

CHAPTER 1 : A LOCAL ECOSYSTEM What is an ecosystem? Characteristics? The size of a population of organisms? Factors for this variation? Environmental factors? An ecosystem is any environment containing living organisms that interact with each other and with the non-living parts of the environment. Largely self-sustaining. - materials and energy are exchanged via food webs. - any size. (eg. a pond‚ a forest‚ a desert or a piece of bushland.) Does not

Aneka Khilnani September 8. 2012 Period 3 AP Biology Free Response Essay: Cell Size Life is defined as a distinctive characteristic that a living organism‚ dead organism or non-living thing‚ and it has the ability to grow‚ metabolize‚ respond to stimuli‚ adapt and reproduce. Cells are not smaller that 0.1 um because within the cell all the necessary components have to take place‚ cellular metabolism‚ reproduction‚ photosynthesis and there has to be a sufficient amount of space for that to

Contributors to Microbiology Pioneers of Microbiology I. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (Oct. 24‚ 1632- Aug. 30‚ 1723) A. In 1676 Leeuwenhoek saw tiny organisms in water‚ he was the first man to observe and describe bacteria accurately. He discovered microscopic nematodes‚ blood cells and sperm. He also made over 500 microscopes to view specific objects. B. Microbiology is concerned with the study of all forms of life that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Antonie’s work

biological process by which new individual organisms – "offspring" – are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction‚ an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By

How can we tell if an organism is alive or not? Is a virus ‚ prion‚ virod‚ or a rock a living organism? What is life? Biologist have studied what makes organism alive for many years and have come to the conclusion the there are nine characteristics of life. Each characteristic has a property which applies to how and organism is alive. Life characteristics are as follows: order‚ metabolism‚ motility‚ responsiveness‚ reproduction‚ development‚ heredity‚ evolution‚ and adaptation. All of the characteristics
