Archaea

Microbiota are microscopic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes that influence human health through a commensal interaction. Location of microbiota can be internal or external such as the gut, mouth, placenta, skin, and vagina. These microbes are classified into four major phyla: Firmicutes, Bacteriodetes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria. Microorganisms in the Firmicute phylum are typically Gram positive bacteria, either rod-shaped or spherical and function as obligate…

Differential Reproductive Success- Best adapted individuals reproduce more successfully than less adapted individuals. 3. What are the three domains of life? To which domain do you belong? The three domains of life are in our ecosystem are known to be Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. In our ecosystems, humans are also known to belong in a domain called Eukarya. 4. What is the effect of each of the following on population size: birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration? In our…

provide useful information regarding the starting concentration of riboflavin as well as the consumption rate of the vitamin in media, when analyzed at different activation times. The decrease in riboflavin over time makes sense as the bacteria and archaea in the media use the vitamin as a cofactor in the digestion of cellulose as well as with other sugars and fats. (2) The The LOD and LOQ of the acetic acid solution were well below the concentration standards used for riboflavin, though the LOQ…

Introduction Microbes are essential to everyday life. Going from the basic food we eat to biogeochemical cycles, if we didn 't have biogeochemical cycles we would no longer have any of the resources that we have now; for example, there is plenty of nitrogen in the atmosphere but it 's all not available until it has been fixed, and that is when the microbes come in and changes the nitrogen in a way that is usable. Humans come in contact with microbes every day there is never a time there are…

Scientists today know mostly everything there is to know about life on prebiotic Earth approximately four billion years ago, yet, they still do not possess the answer as to how life came to be from inorganic matter. Many question how life could have risen from non-living materials and become as complex as it is. Nobody knows for certain how the transition from inorganic matter to life occurred, however, there are several theories made to explain this transition (i.e. Clay theory, Primordial Soup…

question that creates the foundation of our study. A virus is microscopic organism that can only replicate after penetrating an organism inside its host. It, in essence, is a parasite. Viruses have the ability to infect animals, plants, bacteria and archaea. Although there are millions of strains of viruses, in modern science, about 5000 viruses have been identified. Hence, the study of viruses is known as virology, which is a subset of microbiology. Examples of a virus known as the…

History All plants need water, but plants may prefer one type of water over another. There are two main types of water, tap water and rainwater, and each type of water has its pros and cons. Different plants need different amounts of water. Along with that, some plants also need water more frequently. This writing is going to explain about how plants prefer one type of water over another. There are many chemicals added to tap water. The uses of these chemicals is to disintegrate any dirt in the…

2. The element being described is Sodium its symbol is Na it has an atomic mass of 22.989769. It has an atomic number of 11. This element has 11 protons, 11 protons, and about 11 neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutron have a neutral charge. Electron shells are the outer parts of an atom containing the electrons. Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell. Valence electrons tell us whether an atom shares, transfers or receives electrons…

Odysseus is seen as a hero and leader by all his comrades who returned from the Trojan War. According to his fellow commanders, like Menelaus, he has strength, courage and restraint. In Ithaca, preceding the war, Odysseus was viewed as a kind merciful king, adored by his people. Though when voyaging home, Odysseus displays his stubbornness in making decisions, overcome by the need to gain glory and prestige above all else. Following a daring escape from the cyclops’ lair, Odysseus and his men…

Microbes - bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses - have been around for at least 3,500 million years and were the only life forms on Earth for most of that time. Microbiology is the study of these small organisms. A microorganism or microbe is an organism that is microscopic. The development of the microscope, along with the observations of various scientists, led to the discovery of microorganisms. It is thanks to Van Leeuwenhoek who is largely credited with the discovery of…
