Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis and meiosis are both important to a living organism because they represent cell divisions that are very important to every living organism because without cell division all living organisms would fail to reproduce‚ eventually dying out. Cell division plays a very important role in the life cycle of a cell. Mitosis and meiosis are important to living organism because they help living organisms to grow‚ develop‚ and reproduce. Mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction

or skin cells. What are these things called cells? Cells are the smallest living things. You’ll be learning a lot about cells in this course. For now‚ however‚ I’ll introduce you to just a few basic things about them. Cells are extremely tiny organisms that carry out all of the functions of life inside a thin layer of “skin” called (unimaginatively) the CELL MEMBRANE. A good analogy is the thin‚ flexible skin of a soap bubble. The cell membrane keep the cell together. Without the membrane‚ all

Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to be able to better understand the properties associated with DNA in live organisms and to find out how to isolate and quantify DNA in plant materials using Dische diphenylamine. This particular experiment could be very useful to scientists as a similar procedure could help identify genetic diseases and could also aid in finding

BIODIVERSTY the term "biodiversty" has been derived from ’bio’ and ’diversity’."Diversity" means variety within a species and among species.Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystem. Diversity of plants and animals the diversity of plants ’(flora) and animals’(fauna)’ ia region depends on climate‚altitude‚soils and the presence of other species.it is the richest in the tropics. biodiversity found on earth today is the result of 4billion years of

Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment. It involves collecting information about organisms and observing their life patterns as well. Ecology is a science that seeks to explain why patterns occur the way they do. Interdependence is a key component of biology‚ meaning that all the organism interact with one another in various ways. Its very crucial for organisms since they all depend on one another for survival

Non-Point Sources- Broad and diffuse areas‚ rather than points‚ from which pollutants enter bodies of surface water or air. Examples include runoff of chemicals and sediments from cropland‚ livestock feedlots‚ logged forests‚ urban streets‚ parking lots‚ lawns‚ and golf courses. Compare point source.

processes unify the ecosystem to function as a unit. Of equal importance in the functioning of the ecosystem is the evolutionary process‚ which is unique to living organism. Students of environmental biology will learn about the interactions and relationships of the vsrious components of the ecosystem by directly observing the organism in their natural habitat. Observation in the field will be strengthened by group discussions and by answering the guide questions given in the exercise. Objectives:
