Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy.[1] Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field‚ composed of many branches and subdisciplines. However‚ despite the broad scope of biology‚ there are certain general and unifying concepts within it that govern all study and research‚ consolidating it into single‚ coherent field. In general‚ biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit

Temperature range Background: All organisms are adapted to a particular environment with its characteristic temperature range. The temperature range allows the organism’s enzymes to control its metabolism by operating at their optimum efficiency within this range. Some organisms are adapted to live at high temperatures (80 - 100oC) and these are called thermophiles

Smoking causes harm to almost every body organ hence causing most diseases and generally poor health. The most damaging components of tobacco smoke are: Tar It is a term that refers to a mixture of particles which are suspended in tobacco smoke. These particles contain chemicals‚ as well as cancer-causing substances. Tar is brown and sticky posing stains on fingernails‚ teeth‚ and lung tissue

(Taxa or Taxon) 1b. Why do common names of organisms – like daisy or mountain lion – often cause problems for scientists? The common names of organism often cause problems for scientist because common names can change meaning among languages and from place to place. 1c. The scientific

Sir Alec Jeffreys‚ a professor from the University of Leicester‚ discovered a way of using DNA analysis through fingerprinting. () DNA fingerprinting method used variations in the genetic code in order to identify individuals. During Dr.Jeffreys’ research‚ he found that certain regions of DNA contained DNA sequences that were repeated over and over again. He also found that the number of repeated sequences present in a sample can differ between individuals. (John M. Butler) Fingerprinting was first

Biology 1010 is a course that introduces students to the basic biological phenomena in all living organisms. It focuses on the different molecular levels of organization‚ heredity in evolution‚ genetics and reproduction. Through this course‚ I was able to master three essential concepts such as Mendel’s Law of Segregation‚ enzymes‚ and photosynthesis. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk that argued that parental traits are passed on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors”. Heritable factors
