in pond culture. Closed aquaculture systems do not have rapid turnover of water‚ but do not have a high surface to volume ratio facilitating exchange of gases‚ nutrients‚ energy etc. with the surroundings. Water quality for aquaculturists refers to the quality of water that enables successful propagation of the desired organisms. Physico-chemical parameters of water include: 1. Alkalinity Alkalinity relates to the capacity of the water to accept protons and is a measure of the water’s buffering

Diversity in Living Organisms (Science) |Close X | |[pic] Classification And Evolution Classification refers to the identification‚ naming‚ and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities in their internal and external structure or evolutionary history. It determines the methods of organizing diversity of life on earth. Therefore‚ classification helps in understanding millions of life forms in detail. Who started the classification of organisms? Let us explore the history of

one result was inconclusive. The focus of this paper will be on the description of the just one of the three bacteria and some of its effects on humans. The first test done was a differential stain (gram stain) to determine the unknown microorganism cell shape and arrangement. The gram staining is done by first putting a sample of the unknown bacteria on a slide and it was heat fixed taking care not to over or under fixed the slide. The slide was flooded with crystal violet and let stand for 30 seconds

Date: 9th February‚ 2011 Title: Analysis of the Elements present in Organic Compounds Aims: To test the presence of Carbon‚ Hydrogen‚ Oxygen‚ Nitrogen and Sulfur in Organic Compounds Introduction: Organic Compounds can be considered as any compound containing carbon atoms covalently bonded with other atoms‚ usually hydrogen. Other atoms may include oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ sulfur…etc. They can be found in nature‚ since “organic” means present in‚ or derived from‚ plants and animals. Materials/

Chris Brunelle Biology 112-online Professor Gaskin September 10‚ 2014 Minimal Organism “A minimal genome is generally defined as the smallest set of genes that allows for replication of the organism in a particular environment (Cho‚ M.‚ 1999). The creation of these minimal genomes can be helpful and harmful at the same time. There are many opinions out there about the subject‚ I will share some of those and my position on the subject. First let me just start with my personal position on minimal

Cell membranes are a bilayer make up of phospholipids‚ proteins‚ and cholesterol. Its main function is to regulate what comes in and out of the cell by means of diffusion‚ transport proteins and protein channels. Trans membrane proteins transport polar solutes across hydrophobic regions of the bilayer. Diffusion occurs when solutes are transferred from a high concentration of that solute to a lower concentration of solutes. Solutes do not depend on the concentration of other solutes‚ which allows

Extractive Metallurgy Minerals are naturally occurring chemical substances in the earth’s crust obtainable by mining. Out of many minerals in which a metal may be found‚ only a few are viable to be used as sources of that metal. Such minerals are known as ores. Examples: Galena‚ PbS‚ etc. It is usually contaminated with earthly or undesired materials known as gangue. The extraction and isolation of metals from ores involve the following major steps: • Concentration of the ore‚ • Isolation of the

Aim: The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that are directly absorbed into the bloodstream during digestion. Materials: 2% yeast

Aloe Vera’s Profile Lavanessa Young American Public University Whitney Elmore 06/17/14 Introduction Aloe is often described as a succulent stemless or very short-stemmed plant with a slimy and soothing sap. Binomially‚ this plant is known as Aloe vera‚ but it is a species with a good number of synonyms‚ including Aloe vulgaris‚ Aloe indica‚ Aloe perfoliata ‚ and Aloe barbadensis. It’s important to point out the fact that Carl Linnaeus was the first scientist to describe this species. Aloe vera
