1. Filter tap water before drinking. You can reduce chances of consuming carcinogens by filtering tap water. Filtered water can also prevent chemical substances, which have negative effects towards your endocrine system. The latest report from the president of the Cancer Institute commission on how to avoid carcinogens revealed that, ‘Drinking filtered tap water at home is safer than drinking water from low-quality containers.” Also, storing water in some kinds of container like stainless steels…

Paramecium is part of the Alveolata clade, which are heterotrophs and a major clade that belogs to the kingdom Protista. Paramecium are single-celled organisms with an oval, slipper shaped. On the outside of the Paramecium you can find the radiatin canal and a contractile vacuole. The cytoplasm, food vacuoles, the macronucleus, and the micronucleus are located inside. Another characteristic of them is that they move faster than other protists. They live in aquatic environments, but most usual in…

as: the carbon cycle. Planktons are susceptible to population decrease because of these types of human activity. How is the colour of the ocean water related to plankton? The colour of the ocean is related to plankton as phytoplankton contain chlorophyll, and its green pigment acts as a light absorbing substance in the ocean. The Phytoplankton absorb the red and blue light out of the ocean waters, therefore reflecting green light. So, where plankton is present in the ocean, the colour of the…

they do need the right environment with the correct pH and different light conditions in order to aid the lake’s health. Algae use sunlight to make food for themselves and give themselves energy through the process known as photosynthesis by using chlorophyll. They also absorbs carbon dioxide, turning it into energy, which would take place more in the nighttime when it’s dark. In this longer-term experiment, I will be evaluating the sun or lack of sun’s effect on the growth of algae in my…

Chlorophyll can be found in chloroplasts of plants, algae, and various bacteria. Its green pigment helps the cells of these organisms perform photosynthesis. The solar cells mimic photosynthesis, which can potentially produce energy (Jenner, 2005). Photosynthesis occurs when light hits organism’s chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are small green molecules in the organism’s cells. The energy from the light is then absorbed by the chlorophyll, which splits water molecules…

7. Caffeine Caffeine is arguably the most known and widely consumed stimulate in all corners of the world. Caffeine is a chemical found in products like tea, coffee, guarana, and cola. These products are used as energy boosters and to improve the mental alertness and brain function. Consider taking a beverage with caffeine before your work out to boost performance, lower perceived exertion as well as increase stamina and physical endurance. However, caffeine should be taken in moderation as…

those sugars into energy for living organisms. While animal cells obtain sugar from an outside source, plants synthesize their own sugar in a series of anabolic reactions powered by sunlight. The photosynthetic pigments present in a plant, such as chlorophyll, allow the plant to harness energy from the sun and perform the reactions necessary for photosynthesis. Various wavelengths of light from the sun are used to power photosynthesis, and different wavelengths correspond to different colors.…

Thylakoid membranes, which are arranged like stacked pancakes, are inside the envelope. Chlorophyll, which plays a crucial role in capturing sunlight, is embedded in the thylakoid membranes. Chlorophyll is observed to be green because it only reflects green wavelengths. The blue and red light, which can both be absorbed by the chlorophyll, are used to produce ATP, which are further used by enzymes around the thylakoids to synthesize carbohydrates. Photosynthesis…

data ratio was 3.7:1 or 74 green seedlings to 20 albino seedlings. If the ratio was perfect it would have been 70.5 green seedlings to 23.5 Albino seedlings, which would have been a 3:1 ratio. The phenotypic and genotypic ratios were 3:1 dominant chlorophyll. In the 9:3:3:1 ratio counting corn we had 60 yellow round corn, 16 yellow and wrinkled, 16 purple and round, and 8 purple and wrinkled. Our hypothesis wasn’t exact to the 9:3:3:1 ratio but, it was close. We expected less for green seedlings…

2.5. Morphological Identification/Evaluations of Entomopathogenic Fungi The six isolates of fungal entomopathogens were provided by Department of Entomology, Penn State USA. Preliminary morphological identifications of fungal entomopathogens such as color of colony, mycelial characteristics and spores from all six isolates were done at microscopic level. 2.6. Molecular Characterizations of Entomopathogenic Fungi Cultures of Metarhizium fungus were grown in nutrient broth (Bacto, Australia) in…
