minerals. The Nutrient and Nutrition Humans are heterotrophs‚ organisms that cannot produce their own food. Heterotrophs must ingest‚ or take in‚ food. At least 95% of the species of organisms on earthall animals‚ all fungi‚ and most protists and bacteriaare heterotrophs. Food provides the heterotrophs or “other-feeders” with two things: (1) energy‚ and (2) the raw materials to build the substances they need. The energy in food is described in units called calories‚ or properly kilocalories

· Taxonomy ○ Science of classification ○ Provides an orderly basis for the naming of organisms and for placing organisms into a category (taxon) ○ Makes use of and makes sense of the fundamental concepts of unity and diversity among living things ○ Basic principle is that members of higher-levels groups share fewer characteristics than those in lower-level groups * Escherichia coli - rod shape and have a Gram-negative cell wall * Even members of the same species display variations

Article on Natural environment Natural environment The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It is an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living specie. The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components: Complete ecological units that function as natural systems without massive human intervention‚ including all vegetation‚ microorganisms‚ soil‚ rocks‚ atmosphere and natural phenomena

Introduction Zoonotic intestinal parasites are prevalent around the world. One of the most common and studied is transmitted by the microscopic protozoan‚ Giardia intestinalis‚ also known as G. lamblia and G. duodenalis (Ivanov‚ 2010). This eukaryotic parasite is responsible for the transmission of the most common waterborne disease‚ giardiasis‚ which causes watery diarrhea‚ vomiting‚ and has even been linked to irritable bowl syndrome (Ankarklev et. al. 2010). Since its discovery in 1681‚ Giardia

with microorganisms and their effect on other living organisms. Microbes are very small organisms which can only be viewed with the aid of microscope. Several groups of organisms that fit into this category are bacteria‚ cyanobacteria‚ fungi and protists. Within this group there are several species interesting to humans because of their ability to cause disease or their use in the food industry and microorganisms can be classified to unicellular and multicellular. These organisms are extremely diverse

Abiotic A term-that describes a nonliving factorin an ecosystem. Active Transport -The movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration that uses energy provided by ATP or a difference in electrical charges across a cell membrane. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) A molecule that provides energy for cellular reactions and processes. ATP releases energy when one of its high‐energy bonds is broken to release a phosphate group.
