Forms On Mars

Great Essays
Are There Living Forms On Mars? Scientists ask themselves; are there any extraterrestrial life beyond Earth? Humans are interested in the extraterrestrial life because we might not be the only ones out here in the universe. Being able to contact with and learn from other forms of life would be amazing. The human civilization might be able to contain help from other extraterrestrial and learn their ways of life. If there are or aren't living forms out in the universe, it is up to us to find out. A space probe came back from Mars with a soil sample about a month ago. I went into my laboratory with this soil sample to figure out whether there are living forms on Mars or not. I tested the soil to see if there are similar cells on Mars compared to Earth. Through scientific research, I had concluded that there are in fact living forms on Mars. …show more content…
First off, life contains many elements, but the seven main ones are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, potassium, and phosphate. Many living things on Earth contain these elements in order to survive. Second, life contains many cells. Our bodies are made up entirely of cells. Cells separate itself from the universe with a membrane that is semi-permeable. Cells help our bodies throughout the day. How do cells help? Well, cells take in energy and turn it into molecules that can be used for our everyday life, including get out of bed, brushing our teeth, digesting our food, and much more. We use two types of energy, light and chemical. Light energy is energy from the sun. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in molecules and then released. Life depends on elements, cells, and energy in order to get on through the day. This is negative entropy, which is to acquire order. Negative entropy is the opposite of entropy, which is things not going in order. A form of negative entropy is metabolism. Metabolism is basically turning food, water, or for plants sunlight into energy that can be used

    Determining Enzymes that Result to Mutation on the three Stages of Cellular Respiration Mary A Enriquez University of the Pacific November 11, 2014 2 Green Dr. Geoffrey Lin-Cereghino Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to determine which type of food source could possibly help strains grow on both permissive and restrictive temperature. Based on all the chemicals accumulating, we can determine the enzymes that are used to inhibit the three stages of cellular respiration.…

    Primordial Soup Hypothesis The Primordial Soup Hypothesis was first introduced by a Russian chemist, A.I. Oparin, and English geneticist, J.B.S. Haldane. Both scientist worked on this theory by themselves in 1920. In this theory, they thought that molecules formed in the sky were powered up by rain and lightning. Creating a “organic soup”. Scientist Stanley Miller and Harold Urey did a test on this theory in 1950.…

    In preparation for the destruction of Earth, humans are to be transported to continue life on the planet Mars. Scientists have been studying this planet for decades. Research and experimentation have shown Mars is capable of supporting human life forms and other organisms. However, the time and money necessary to accomplish such a feat would be astronomical. Matt Williams, the Guide to Space Curator for Universe Today, expresses his opinions on this phenomena in his article, “How Can We Live on Mars?”…

    Reflective Journal 3- How Plants Tell Time After reviewing chapters six and seven in the Biology Life on Earth textbook while also considering the video titled How Plants Tell Time, it can be concluded that photosynthesis is the most important process on earth in regards to maintaining life. Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction, meaning that the products involved in the process have more energy than the reactants (Anderson, 18). Because of this endergonic reaction, plants are able to store chemical energy in the form of glucose, which allows them to grow and provide energy for other organisms (Anderson, 3). All organisms depend on this process whether directly or indirectly because of the way the food chain is constructed.…

    There's various types of ways an organism can live, one being autotrophic. Autotrophs sustain themselves without eating anything derived from living beings. They're the producers of the biosphere because they can release organic molecules. Most autotrophs get their energy from photosynthesis. They store their chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules that they build themselves.…

    Many people believe in conspiracies and theories that can be true but most likely are not. The face on Mars is one of those conspiracies. Many people believe the face on Mars is a sign of alien life. It is a natural landform and there are many reasons why. There are no actual markings of life, it is similar to a Martian mesa, and our images can never be 100% accurate so illusions or other things are possible.…

    Originating from cosmic events such as supernovas, chemical elements are the foundation of all life. Billions of years ago, a violent explosion known as the Big Bang produced helium, hydrogen, and all of the matter and energy in the universe. Generated in the cores of stars, nuclei combined to form atoms which constitute the basic unit of all chemical elements. The extensive expansion of the universe induced the birth and demise of more stars and consequently the creation of more elements.…

    For centuries, scientists have searched for life beyond the Earth, looking for extraterrestrials. The mystery of Hollow Earth is where the Earth is made up of a hollow shell with mystical creatures living inside, some stories suggest this world is where UFOs come from. Theories about the Earth’s core are ever changing, and while there is no concrete proof about what is hidden beneath the ground with such a world existing, many theories have passed along through the generations such as, the inner Earth being a spiritual place for the dead, Earth is nothing but solid rock with other minerals that make up the inside, and the Earth is hollow and is holding different types of species unknown to mankind. The thought of a subterranean land on the…

    INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is the breaking down of organic molecules by means of catabolic pathways that uses electron transport chain to produce ATP (Campbell 2011). ATP is used as energy in the synthesis of light or also known as Photosynthesis . ATP is used by photosynthetic organisms to produce their own food and also by performing cellular respiration. It needs mainly glucose and oxygen that involves the transfer of electrons in a chemical reaction.…

    In late August, SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life Institute) revealed news of a peculiar signal found 94 light years away from Earth. SETI had hoped that this would be a crucial piece of evidence that revealed the presence of extraterrestrial life. However, only a few weeks after the initial announcement, the signal was debunked to be no more than an interference from a military satellite. While many scientists were disappointed by the news, it perhaps was the most favorable outcome of the situation. A prominent physicist, Stephen Hawking, theorized that with any interaction between Earth and extraterrestrial life, “…the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn 't turn out very well for the American Indians.”…
