Within the last six years at the church I attended, the pastor’s wife has given multiple prayer requests about her experiencing difficulty breathing and uncontrollable allergies. Upon further investigation, she informed me that she would constantly cough and have whizzing spells. After her and the pastor moved into a different house, she began to notice a difference in her health. She was not only able to breathe better, but her allergies seemed to have subsided. After further inspection,…

5.0 IMPORTANCE OF CARRYING OUT SUCH AN ACTIVITY All the contaminations we found were due to bacteria. Bacteria and fungi, including molds and yeasts, are ever-present in the environment and are able to quickly colonize and flourish in the rich cell culture milieu. Their small size and fast growth rates make these microbes the most commonly encountered cell culture contaminants…

Raven et al. (2014) defines biogeography as a study of the geographic distribution of species, and ties tougher how the species are related or not related and natural selection. Moseley et al. (2014) define biogeography as the study of patters that may form in the biotic environment and we can use the scientific process and information gathered from the past and present to study the distributions of plants and animals. Moseley et al. (2014) are the only authors that go into details about why we…

will make the bacteria, in this E. coli, resistant to any type of antibiotic. Plasmids came about as a result of bacteria evolving. Bacteria is most often grown in the same type of environment that contains molds and fungi, leading them to all compete for the same nutrients. Mold and fungi have evolved to make toxins in order to kill the bacteria off, leaving them with more food. Bacteria, in turn, then evolved to making proteins that shuts down the toxins, still making them a healthy competitor…

The Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a very abundant tree in the mountainous regions here in Utah. Moreover, this particular species of tree is very popular because it grows most commonly around burn sites. After a natural disaster the Quaking aspen is usually one of the first trees to take root. The Quaking aspen is well known here because of this, however the common person may find it hard to identify when an aspen tree is not healthy. Sooty bark canker (encoelia pruinosa) is a canker is…

Anthony’s fire (Schumann 2016). While ergot poisoning is no longer a concern to us due to the cleansing process harvested grain must undergo through to remove any such parasites or anything that could have been on the agriculture, the uses of ergot fungi began to be realized and thus, medicine/drug to precipitate childbirth was the first product created from this parasite. However, this discovery was not beneficial in the later years once…

undergoes hydrolysis to break the bonds between glucose molecules in the starch, forming individual glucose molecules. Hydrolysis: C6H10O5 + H2O ------> C6H12O6 3. The synthesis of polylactic acid requires bacteria or fungi, not enzymes. Hence, lactobacillus bacteria or rhizopus fungi are used…

asexual process, is required for the growth, development, and repair of a cell, meiosis, a sexual process, creates genetic diversity through sexual reproduction. Mitosis can occur in any organism, but meiosis only occurs in humans, animals, plants, and fungi. Another difference between mitosis and meiosis is that the daughter cells produced by mitosis are genetically identical, unlike the daughter cells produced by meiosis which are genetically different. Crossing over, which is the process of…

Attack by fungi and insects is most rapid on the forest floor, so collection from the ground should be carried out as soon after fruit fall as possible. Fungicidal treatment cannot be generally recommended since it can be harmful to seeds (Magini 1962); many fungicides…

similarities, and their biochemical similarities. The most popular form of classification system used by scientists is Linnaeus’s System of Classification, by which organisms are classified and grouped into 6 different kingdoms; bacteria, archaea, protista, fungi, plant and animal. By classifying organisms it provides scientists with an easy way to study organisms efficiently, and allows for predictions and knowledged observations. Knowledge about classification allows scientists to make…
