Symbiosis

An organism discovered on the Japanese seashore behaves as a predator and a plant in a bizarre lifecycle that may bring biologists closer to understanding how chloroplasts became part of plant cells, according to a study from the University of Tsukuba. Before understanding how this mysterious single-celled organism works, it had to be given a proper scientific name. Analysis of its cellular structure and genetic profile showed that it is most closely related to organisms assigned to the genus…

Briggsdale Undivided High School The Rustinian Red Bird The American Kestrel Netheniel Langdon Ecology 1022-1 Mr.Kopanke Friday, March 3rd 2017 The American Kestrel The american kestrel is a good looking bird with a few different color variation. This animal is biotic. It comes from the family of falcons. This is the smallest one of the species of falcons. They live in open country farmlands and wood edges. During the breeding season the kestrel may be limited to the…

9 Palms Manifesto Bernd and Hilla Becher were born in 1931 and 1934. They were german conceptual artists, first meeting at their college, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Collaborating on their first project in 1959, the pari photographed disappearing German industrial architecture. These works would be only done on 8x10 inch film. Always shot objectively, on cloudy days, to avoid shadows. They favoured early morning light as well. They arranged the photos in rows, helping to display the…

I will be writing an informative paper about parasitic flatworms. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines Parasitism as an animal or plant that lives in or on another animal or plant and gets food or protection from it. S. haematobium is the parasitic disease caused by parasitic worms that could infect the urinary tract or intestines. In those who have been infected for a good amount of time liver damage, kidney failure and infertility may occur. The disease is usually spread by contact, water…

Coevolution of Hummingbirds and Ornithophilous flowers Coevolution is a situation where two parties are able to evolve to satisfy each other’s needs. In this particular case we are going to talk about the coevolution of hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers. Plants are one of the most important species in our world. Mainly it helps us breathe that very fresh air we have today. Although it may seem to be impossible for one to think a simple plant can help us breathe. It is also another species…

There are many different types of relationships between animals, some including mutualism, parasitism, and predation. Each type has specific characteristics that set them apart and all of which have some sort of impact on each other. With the steady increase in human population and the vast amount of urbanization that are springing up around the world, many animal relationships are being put in jeopardy. Urbanization has an impact on species relationships, both interspecies and intraspecies,…

The definition of Symbiosis is "the living together in an intimate association of two or more dissimilar organisms". Symbiosis is a crucial part of our existence and a reason for the beginning of life on this planet we call home. According to history of our planet, Earth was formed from absolute nothingness to tiny molecules of thick water vapor and many compounds of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and more. From these molecules, the disorder and order of the molecule reacted with each other,…

having a place to put its home or habitat, while the tree is not benefitting or being harmed by the web. This kind of relationship is called commensalism. Commensalism is when one benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. The next type of symbiosis is parasitism, and that is when one benefits and the other is harmed. One example is mosquitoes to humans or other mammals. The mosquito is getting the blood and the nutrients that it needs, while the humans are getting itchy bumps and…

affect stable gut microbiota, causing the microbes to become unstable, disrupting a previously beneficial symbiosis. I found this reading to be an extremely useful conceptual tool when trying to understand how microbe symbiosis and the environment can affect each other. Very few studies have targeted this factor in the past, and I believe it is important to identify with this factor of symbiosis in order to fully understand how the environment and the species within that habitat directly and…

relationships are termed as a mechanism known as symbiosis and are incredibly important not only to the animals that make up the relationship, but also all of the ecosystems in the ocean. This is especially true in the case of bacteria as a symbiont. Bacteria is very commonly found as a symbiont with other animals of the sea and this symbiotic relationship can result in nitrogen fixing, chemosynthesis, and…
