WHOLENESS’, where All THE CONTRASTS in Life EXISTS, but ‘CANCEL’ each other creating the impression of ‘NOTHING’. For instance, ‘-7’cancels ‘+7’, ‘hot’ cancels ‘cold’, ‘darkness’ cancels ‘light’ etc. “The ‘I’, or this invisible "Something" behind every ‘Organism’, underlying all forms or objects, is the deepest cause of everything that can be sensed, experienced or manifested. Without this "Something", without an ‘I’, all would be lifeless, all stillness; all would, in fact, be nothing. Matter…

Task #7 My ecosystem has been affected significantly by humans both positively and negatively. The positive impacts have led to increasing the diversity of species as well as attracting civilians. Throughout the recent years, different kinds of fish have been added to the lake. This has allowed the fish population as well as the lake diversity to increase significantly. The introduction of a new species to the lake provides many opportunities socially as well as environmentally. However, the…

In this process, two donors of the same species are selected. Generally the somatic cell donor (the organism to be cloned) has favoured traits that are desirable in the offspring. The other donor is an egg donor, i.e. a female. The egg needs to be in the stage at which fertilization would occur if it was to be fertilized in sexual reproduction. Firstly…

Davson-Danielli Model of the cell membrane Since the discovery of the cell, the scientific community has been fascinated by its various structures and functions. One of the most important structures being the cell membrane, which after being discovered in 1855, played a key role in research regarding cell membranes. After the discovery its discovery , many scientists put out data regarding the cell membrane. Their research was compiled my Davson and Danielli so that the could create a…

The commons are the natural resources available to all members of a society or community. The natural resources include water, air, animals, plants. These materials are not owned privately, they are held in common. Hardin’s main assumption about the commons can be separated in three categories; the world is biophysically finite, over-population can be considered as an example of the tragedy of the commons, and the system commons for breeding must be abandoned. The tragedy of the commons…

theory: 1. All living things are composed of one or more cells. 2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism. 3. Cells come only from the replication of existing cells. Most cells are small Prokaryotic: 1-10 µm Eukaryotic: 10 - 100 µm (1 µm = .001 mm) Shape of cell: Cells come in a variety of shapes – depending on their function:-…

Symbiosis describes a relationship between species, in which at least one organism benefits. Ants and plants interact in many puzzling ways, but one type of interaction has fascinated ecologists for centuries. Mutualism is a type of symbiosis, where both species benefit from the relationship. Ant to plant mutualisms are facultative, meaning they are not necessary for each other’s survival. However, the survival of both species lends greatly to this complex relationship. (Boucher D.H. 1985) To…

Insect is an animal category that has a hard body on the outside knows as exoskeleton which are animals with three pairs of leg. They are recognized the insect which have evolved from worm-like ancestors. Through research by today’s researcher, he found that, “these insect ancestor were wingless and developed without metamorphis, for an example as silverfish that were present today” (Barnes, 1987). Insects have a lot of interest as their habits are the most diverse among other kingdoms, their…

Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…

Niche that the organism fills The ecological niche or niche of an organism is the place and role in nature. This encompasses what it does, who it feeds, what it feed on as well as what it pollinates. Considering the role that the Brenton Blue butterfly fills, we find that like other butterflies, it serves as a pollinator. In this case, the Brenton Blue is a pollinator for its food plant, Indigo (scientific name Indigofera erecta). When the butterfly lands on the plant to feast on the nectar…
