As the basic building blocks of all living things, cells are the smallest essential units of life. However, even though cells are competent self-sustaining units, their survival depends on receiving and processing information from the outside environment (whether that information applies to the stock of nutrients, temperature change, or variations in light levels). Cells have different functions; getting nutrients from food and turning them into energy, give structure to the body, carry out…

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

1. Delineate the geographical area under study. An ecosystem is an environment in which communities of living and non-living organisms interact with each other. The geographical area under study is the Trinidad and Tobago’s, Caroni Swamp which is the largest wetland ecosystem on the western coast of Trinidad. The swamp covers six thousand (6000) hectares and consists of fifty-six percent (56%) of the mangrove on the island. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a…

not an animal? Animals are living beings who feel,touch,see, and sense. Animals just like humans, too have feelings and emotions. It can be so evident that animals also have feelings because it is exhibited by simple observation of their external organism. Observing an animal’s body,eyes and even listening to them can display and reveal their emotions. As simple as…

• Bacteria, are single-cell microorganism with no nucleus that had a sphere, rod, and spiral shape and branching threads. Ranges in diameter between (0.5- 1) µm and in length between (2-4) µm however, they are either a parasite or live independently they are found in all living things and in all environments. Some bacteria in drinking water can cause disease such as salmonella, total coliform (including fecal coliform and E.coli), Shigella, Legionella, and Campylobacter and “their presence…

Caulobacter Crescentus is a dimorphic, α-proteobacterium found in oligotrophic environments. Their dimorphic cell cycle produces two morphologically and functionally different daughter cells, known as the stalked cell and the swarmer cell. The stalked cell remains anchored to the substratum and is sessile, while the swarmer cell is motile. Upon chemotaxis, the swarmer cell disperses in search of nutrients. Once sufficient nutrients are located the cell cycle can continue. In the early phases of…

3. Moist swab of the foot between toes 4. Moist swab of skin on the back of the hand The Result: In the following picture we can observe an astonishing phenomenon we can observe Fig. 1.8 In the above picture we can see how rapidelly this organism has divided itself and made more of itself. In this picwe can observe how rapidely fungi grew. Group E: Enviornmental sample-Dirt Sample Hypothesis: There is a bigger chance that we will find fungi. 1. We went outside and collected a small…

In the article, Perkin begun by describing how the fossils can shed light of evolutionary changes. For example, the transitional fossil can provide how the ancestor and modern species are different and similar. The most known example of transitional fossil is Tiktaalik which is the species between the arthropod and tetrapod. In addition, we can trace back the ancestor of the modern species using fossils. In the article, Perkins details how the species named elder frog might be an ancestor of…

Introduction In this study, we explored the concept of different habitat utilization at different life stages using a species of Buckeye butterflies known as Junonia Coenia. The concept of habitat utilization is known as the way organisms make use of the resources in their habitat for successful reproduction and a way to avoid predators. The main objective of this study was to determine if larvae and adults would be found at the same height and distance on the host plant and to compare their…

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…
