3.1.1. Why does life thrive in the tropical rainforest? The tropical rainforest is very rich in water and food thus life thrives. We all know that food and water are the things that animals need the most for their survival. It also has a warm temperature due to the constant energy that the sun provides. The plants need the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis to be completed and use it to derived energy. And the plants serve as the food for some animals and these animals serve as the food

(http://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk/about-us/the-science-action-network/forty-reasons-why-we-need-animals-in-research/): Animal research has played a vital part in nearly every medical breakthrough over the last decade. We share 95% of our genes with a mouse‚ making them an effective model for the human body. Animals and humans are very similar; we have the same organ systems performing the same tasks in more or less the same way. Animals suffer from similar diseases to humans including

University of the Philippines Los Banos BIOLOGICAL CONTROL Jeff C. Ebio G-1L INTRODUCTION Farmers sure aim to have abundant and healthy agricultural produce but that became so elusive as the prevalence of disease-causing fungi or bacteria and defective planting materials remain a challenge. To cease all these through a necessary and effective pest management and disease control schema must be utilized. Using chemical pesticide would be a usual resort though

Pathology is the scientific study of disease – concerned with cause (etiology) and manner in which disease develops (pathogenesis) - Also concerned with structural and functional changes brought about by disease and final effects on the body 2. Infection – invasion or colonization of the body by pathogenic microorganisms 3. Disease – when infection results in change in state of health Normal Microbiota

Setting Sets the Standards In Robert Louis Stevenson’s timeless novel‚ Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde‚ he uses setting and characterization to emphasize the idea that a person will act a way if they are expected to. In his novel‚ the character of Dr. Jekyll alludes to the mostly good people. Mr. Hyde‚ however‚ specifically shows the bad people in society. For these two characters‚ the constantly changing gothic setting of this novel and the different extremes between light and dark represent their characterizations

Ecology studies how environmental factors determine the distribution and abundance of populations. 3. Ecology and evolution are related because ecological interactions are natural selection pressures that have long‑term effects. 4. A habitat is the place where an organism exists. 5. A population is a

Evolution Test Notes Giulia Palazzo • THE HARDY- WEINBERG PRINCIPLE: - a mathematical equation created to predict genotype and phenotype frequencies in a population that is not experiencing any selective pressure‚ if model fails evolution must be occurring - Under Mendel’s model‚ the two alleles can be represented by... p + q = 1 (100% of the alleles in the population) where p is the dominant allele and q is the recessive allele - The genotypes can be represented by the equation (p+q)² = p² + 2pq

Some of these characteristics may be deemed bizarre. Plants have come a long way since their shift to terrestrial habitats from aquatic habitats millions of years ago. From the development of the cuticle to prevent water loss to the evolution of vascular tissues to provide for efficient internal transportation‚ all evolutionary changes took
