Introduction As the threats of climate change have increased, so has research on alternative energy. Alternative energy differs from classic fuel sources (i.e. coal, shale, natural gas) because it uses natural resources that has the ability to be consistently replaced; thus it is also termed “renewable energy.” “Biofuels” are a specific class of renewable energy that refers to biomass (versus other natural resources like sunlight) or harvested metabolites from living organisms that can be…

predators of hot spring microbial communities and influence carbon and nutrient cycling in these extreme environments. In extreme thermal environments above the upper temperature limit for eukaryotic life, phages play an important role as predators of prokaryotes in hot spring microbial communities and they also influence carbon and nutrient…

For my 3D course cluster, I am taking BIOL336 Genetics, PHIL130 Ethics and HIST231 Understanding Islam in Historical Perspective. As a biology major my favorite subject is genetics and I am taking it as a major requirement. One thing that is frustrating is only taking major and minor requirements with limited space for classes that I am interested in. These 3D classes allow me to explore subjects that I am interested in. I want to take ethics and explore different moral obligations and…

genetic material through conjugation, when DNA is directly transferred from one bacterial cell to another, the two bacteria then merge and share the genetic material. There are two bacterial kingdoms of prokaryotes, the Archaebacteria and the Eubacteria. Archaebacteria was the first prokaryotes, being very ancient, and exist in very extreme conditions not to mention Archaea does not cause any diseases. Archaebacteria are divided…

schooled in is cells and cellular biology. While cells are the building blocks of all living organism, scientists have confirmed that there are actually different types of cells depending on the organism. The two main classes of organisms are the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. The prokaryotic is the simpler of the two and are the one-celled organisms such as bacteria and archaea. The interior of a prokaryotic cell consists of a main nucleoid, which contains the DNA, the ribosomes, which…

organism and so on. This study was conducted using techniques that have been learned so far in microbiology laboratory. Organisms are divided into two domains: prokaryotes and eukaryotes, which further diverted in three other domains consists of Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya , there are major different between these two where prokaryotes are much simpler internal structures, circular DNA, lack nucleus and any membrane bounded organelles and in general smaller in size. Bacteria and Archaea fall…

My aim is to determine the different effects that various pH levels have on the growth of cyanobacteria, by testing various concentrations of nitric acid in different samples of cyanobacteria of equal masses. My hypothesis is that acid rain will greatly affect the growth of cyanobacteria. The higher the acidity level of the water, the less the cyanobacteria will grow. I chose this topic because due to human activities, many different chemicals have been released into the air and they changed…

Arteries Arteries carry blood at high pressure (80 - 120 mm Hg) They have a narrower lumen (to maintain high pressure) surround by a thick wall made of two layers The middle layer (tunica media) contains muscle and elastin to help maintain pulse flow (it can contract and stretch) The outer layer (tunica adventitia) contains collagen prevents the artery rupturing due to the high pressure blood flow Veins Veins carry blood under low pressure (<10 mm Hg) They have a very wide lumen (keeps…

molecule from a DNA strand. This process is called transcription. When the RNA molecule exits the nucleus, it can be translated into a polypeptide sequence. This process is called translation. With some adjustments, these pathways happen in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Plasmids…

Aquinas formed The Third Argument on Contingency, he believed that since the universe could have once not existed, there had to be a causable explanation for its existence. if everything in the world proceeds to be contingent than how could anything exist in the first place? Portraying that there had to be a necessity or nessasary being that was the cause of all these contingent things. Could it be god? I very much agree with aquinas, the world we live in is in a very cause and effect manner.…
