Who’s the better reproducer? With time comes change and with change comes evolution. Organisms are classified into three distinctive groupings: Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya and the kingdom of plants (Plantae) falls under Eukarya. It could be argued that plants are one of the most valued organisms on Earth. Not only do they provide oxygen for the oxygen dependant organisms, such as mammals through the process of photosynthesis, but, they also provide stable conditions and habitats for other…

As evolution of digestion has occurred, the ways organisms gain their energy from food has also evolved into much more complex processes. From the intracellular digestion process of single-celled organisms to multicellular organisms, such as humans, morphing into extracellular digestion, digestive systems have had to evolve with us so that our bodies allow us to easily absorb nutrients from our food. The simplest digestive system takes place in the subkingdom Protozoa, where organisms are made…

domains; they are Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. The Sugar Glider is a Eukarya. This means that the organisms have cells that contain a nucleus. The kingdom of the Sugar Glider is known as Animalia, because it is an animal. It belongs to the Chordata phylum, and its class is known as Mammalia. The order of this mammal is known as Diprotodontia, which is Greek and when translated means two-front teeth. The family is called Petauridae because it is a winged glider (SeaWorld 2017). The genus is…

Van Tran Microbiology Tuesday 5:00 May 5, 2015 Unknown Sample # 7 1. Introduction: Using biochemical tests are a good way to identify unknown bacteria from a sample. It is basically a similar to a trial and error method, but rather than using trial and error a person would be using positive and negative results. Using biochemical tests will help a person identify certain characteristics of the unknown bacteria through a series of chemical tests. Of course more than one biochemical tests…

Introduction A splash occurs as a creature leaps from the water into the air, arcs of water droplets falling from its bottle-like snout and flippers. This creature is a bottlenose dolphin. I chose the bottlenose dolphin because it is one of the world’s smartest creatures, along with being altruistic and playful towards other dolphins, humans, and even whales. I was inspired to research more about bottlenose dolphins after seeing several dolphins in the ocean while on vacation at Maui, and I…
