Like living organisms: they do multiply. Examples of Viruses There are many viruses in the world. We have all experienced one at one time or another. If you have ever had the flu or a cold‚ that is a virus. Those viruses are relatively minor‚ but there are some that are life-threatening. * small pox * cold sore * influenza * cold * yellow fever * Ebola * anthrax * AIDS Viruses can also cause disease in animals and plants.

According to Cambridge Advanced Learner Dictionary Third Edition‚ parasite is an organism that lives on or in another living organism and feeds from it. Parasites are organism that could affect human body and gain benefits on it and gives human diseases out of it. Parasites cause a lot of major disease to human‚ and animals. Parasites also carries diseases from animals and transmit it to humans.Parasite was first discovered by Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran‚ a military doctor in France’s Service

HYDROSPHERE We all know that water occupies 75% of the Earth’s surface. Water is a component of living cells and every cell in a living organism is made up of almost 75% water and this let the cell to function normally. Life would not exist without water. Water gives habitat meaning the hydrosphere gives a significant place for many animals and plants to exist. Water takes a long time to heat up and it also takes a long time to cool down. This is important in helping to control temperatures

Taxonomy is man’s attempt to understand the organizational structure of living organisms. It originates from the idea that there was a supreme being who created everything and‚ therefore‚ a perfect organization to living organisms must exist. Each with their own opinion on how organisms should be classified‚ philosophers and scientists alike have attempted to make the perfect arrangement of organisms. These methods are all derived from previous methods‚ hence we must look at Aristotle and Linnaeus

Based on the movie‚ the genetic breakthrough that happened were the drugs ALZ 112 and ALZ 113 that were labeled as the cure to the Alzheimer’s disease. These drugs contained a virus that lead organisms with strong immune systems to have heightened intelligence‚ full cognitive recovery‚ increased memory quality‚ and faster reparation of brain cells‚ although harmful to those with weak immune systems. In my own opinion‚ the evolutionary manipulation

will be discussed further in the chapter on chemistry. Cells are considered to be the smallest structure that is alive. They are often too small to see without the aid of a microscope. All living organisms are composed of cells. The smallest organisms are composed of a single cell; larger organisms are composed of more than one cell. Similar kinds of cells may be arranged together to form a tissue. Tissues have specific properties and functions. For example muscle tissue is composed of muscle

adaptions; 13.1 Note: Living organisms can survive‚ grow and reproduce only in surroundings that provide sufficient levels of nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen and carbon dioxide‚ and suitable living conditions such as light and temperature. Tolerance range: the range of conditions – for example‚ temperature that an organism can survive in. Tolerance range also affects the distribution of an organism meaning where they live. To live in a basic habitat an organism must have access to the basic requirements

autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms make their own food by the process of photosynthesis e.g. plants. Heterotrophic organisms cannot make their own food (i.e. cannot carry out photosynthesis)‚ therefore must eat other organisms to get their nutrients e.g. animals. A food chain is the feeding relationship among organisms or the series of living organisms that eat each other. A food chain shows the transfer of energy from one organism to another. In drawing a food chain‚ we use

Entomology: The Study of Insects and their Relatives Insects and their terrestrial relatives belong to the phylum called Arthropoda and have inhabited the earth for an extensive time. Paleontologists show that the earliest fossils‚ most primitive forms of arthropods date back to the Devonian Period over 350 million years ago (Henning 1981). By the Age of Dinosaurs‚ 300 million years ago‚ insects were abundant in number and diversity. Like the dinosaurs‚ some pre-historic forms of insects were
