Finding new life forms would lead to additional research of how organisms can survive in extreme conditions with variable pressure and temperature. Preliminary Analysis of a Subset of Samples Proposal for Analysis of the Remaining Samples Materials and Methods For a specimen to be considered alive it must possess cells‚ grow and develop‚ be able to use energy‚ be able to reproduce‚ and respond to stimuli. If an organism is dead‚ but was once alive‚ it will still have DNA and be composed

Observing the Characteristics of Life In this activity‚ you’ll identify some observable characteristics (some not) of life in videos of various organisms and describe those characteristics. Review Remember that ALL living organisms are made up of CELLS! What are seven characteristics of living things? 1. Movement 2. Reproduction 3. Sensitivity 4. Growth 5. Respiration 6. Nutrients 7. Excretion If your teacher is displaying the

Thomas Boller [5] and others proposed that the vacuole participates in the destruction of invading bacteria and Robert B Mellor proposed organ-specific forms have a role in ’housing’ symbiotic bacteria. In protists‚ vacuoles have the additional function of storing food which has been absorbed by the organism and

understand the interconnectedness of the ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food web‚ there are the producers and the consumers. The producers produce their food by the sun; they are autotrophs. This is one of the main ways energy is introduced into the ecosystem from the sun to the organisms. Herbivores depend on these producers for their food and energy. Carnivores depend on the herbivores

ENVIRONMENT The word ’environment’ is derived from the French word environ‚ which means ’to surround’ or ’around’ and is referred to as the external conditions in which an organism lives. Environment thus‚ can be defined as the sum total of physical‚ chemical and biological factors‚ which act upon an organism or an ecological community and determine its form and nature of survival. Animate and inanimate objects together constitute the natural environment making even human beings a part of the

\Biological Intercations Biological interactions are the effects organisms in a community have on one another. In the natural world no organism exists in absolute isolation‚ and thus every organism must interact with the environment and other organisms. An organism’s interactions with its environment are fundamental to the survival of that organism and the functioning of the ecosystem as a whole. In ecology‚ biological interactions can involve individuals of the same species (intraspecific interactions)

organ system. Organ System-is a group of organs that perform coordinated functions together to keep the organism alive and functioning well. The scope of the biology includes the study of all these and may extend to the level of the organism such as behavior‚ and the organism mechanism for interacting with its environment. Ecology started from the study of the organism-a group of organisms that is similar in appearance‚ behavior and genetic make up belong to the same species. The biological species

Living things have complex biochemical organizations that allow them to process substances and utilize energy in order to respond to changes around them. b. non-living thing- is no longer living or has never had the traits of life including respiration‚ reproduction‚ movement‚ metabolism‚ sensitivity and growth. Nonliving things do not require energy to continue existing in their current state. c. dead organism- is defined as an organism that lacks‚ or

This activity takes place at a frantic rate. Within an hour an infected cell can produce thousands of new viruses and in many cases the cell will be destroyed in the process. Since so many virus particles are produced by a single cell‚ a virus infection of a multicelled organism can rapidly destroy a great number of cells and thus
