Introduction: Prokaryotic cells are cells that do not have membrane bound organelles, such as ribosomes and include organisms such as bacteria. In contrast, eukaryotic cells contains organelles and are often more complex organisms (Karp, 2010). These cells have some similar features such as the plasma membrane and the use of ribosomes to make proteins. However, there are also significant differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Whilst the prokaryotic/ eukaryotic…

In Plato’s Symposium the reader is offered many insights on the definition of love. Diotima’s take on love was the most interesting because of her take on love being a spirit, and the ladder of love Diotima’s first objective was establishing that love is a middle ground, not stratified to one spectrum of good or bad. “Watch your tongue,” she exclaims at Socrates, “do you really think that if a thing is not beautiful, it has to be ugly,” (Plato, Symposium, 46). A flaw often found in human…

The mushroom is the most common type of fungi. Fungus is a fascinating organism because it is neither a plant nor animal. In some instances it appears that it has characteristics from both. Most people use to think that mushrooms were close relatives to plants, however they are not producers. This simply means that they do not make their own food. They receive their nutrients from their surroundings. They are labeled as decomposers because they break down their food and return the nutrients to…

Pathogenic bacteria species have been resistant to antibiotics before humans even made antibiotics. These bacterial samples which have displayed natural antibiotic resistance are as such due to genetic variation and mutations. When a bacterial species is exposed to an antibiotic, there is a selective pressure working against the majority which is not resistant. This leads to a decrease in the population of non-resistant bacteria yet an increase in the population of resistant bacteria since they…

but only those people who are devoted to a certain kind of love. A lover is one who seeks out and loves nothing other than the good (Symposium, 205e), and to pursue this good one must “give birth to beauty” (Symposium, 206b). Plato suggests that reproduction is an affair of beauty, and that it is what we aim for as it is…

it? What makes a family? Is it the house they live in? Is it the memories they share? But what if a couple cannot start their own family, what are their options? Why would they have to be deprived of the human necessity that is family? Assisted Reproduction Technology helps people who cannot make their own families, start a family of their own. Finally, the couple is able to carry a child. But what if they baby isn’t healthy? Prenatal testing is a test for the prenatal baby to check for genetic…

want to have a child, should always be in the right of the women. But in many countries women aren’t able to receive, afford safe and effective contraceptives. In many impoverished areas many women have little to no education on sexualilty and reproduction. So this makes it harder for them to make good sexual decisions, so they feed of misinformation they receive from people they know. A nongovernmental organization…

predators in order for the relationship to remain stable. As well, many factors -- either biotic (living) or abiotic (nonliving) -- can affect this relationship. These factors include available food, species variety available to the predator, and reproduction rate. Henceforth, the guiding question was “Which factors affect the stability of a predator-prey population size relationship?” The background information and guiding question for this investigation correspond with each other because they…

and totemizing; and finally, the need to increase the ability to see and evaluate self from the prospective of the other. In addition to all of these adaptive challenges, hominoids also dealt with general selection pressures, such as population, reproduction, distribution, regulation, and production.…

most protective parents within the animal kingdom because of their temper, which stems from their close and personal connection to their offspring. Within the primate “food chain” there are six types of residence patterns that are attributed with reproduction. The patterns include a male with many females, a female with many males,…
