Symbiosis

Douglas describes coral bleaching by sating, “Bleaching is not restricted to corals, but displayed by all animals in symbiosis with dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium, also known as zooxanthellae because of their yellow–brown color” (Douglas A.E, 2003). Coral communities that have been devastated by coral bleaching are left looking gray and white with very minimal…

The Doctor is amazed by Frimbo, his skills and his “supernatural” powers. The conjure-man takes Archer by surprise, when he reviles doctor’s past and plenty of its details. Frimbo’s striking knowledge of Doctor's social reality and his personal life is the reason the novel’s narrator states that “Dr. Archer had come to observe and found himself the object of the observation” (229). The physician thinks that Frimbo is an extraordinary man, and recognizes their “similarly reflective minds” (214).…

Cloud forests, distributed throughout mountainous regions of Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, are complex ecosystems characterized by low fog cover at the canopy level, which enhances moisture levels, and cooler temperatures than lowland tropical rainforests (Doumenge, 1995). These tropical montane forests are host to an incredible number of species, many of which are endemic to their area (Doumenge, 1995). Epiphytes, plants that root in other plants for structural support…

Around the world today leatherback sea turtles are being killed at an alarming rate due to a variety of circumstances. From the commercial fishing industry to poaching, the population of this species has declined significantly over the past fifty years. However, there are ways to prevent this downward spiral. Through an educational approach, marine biologists and environmentalists should collaborate to form a nonprofit group to protect leatherback sea turtles throughout the world. Dermochelys…

very clear distinction between two of its forms one I have come to call color race (as this is the defining characteristic) and the other true race (dubbed for its validity in science) make note that while both of these concepts of race exist in symbiosis they do not exist in equal for it prevalence in society was the only identifier surely the names would be switched, but I would dare say they both have affected not just how I view my life, but how I view lives of those around me whether in…

There is a well known dichotomy in science between the mind and the brain. It is a dualism of psychology and biology, where the fascinating components of life come together, to create a consciousness. Comparable to the symbiosis of a plant and its fungi, the mind and brain are integral parts of each other. Finding answers to the mysterious of the human brain is a captivating thought. It is this desire that drives my goal to understand the medical science behind the human brain, and treat its…

- The developing fetus does not breath by drawing in air into its lungs like an adult does. Instead, the fetus draws its oxygen from the mother’s blood where the oxygen content is low. The hemoglobin in adults consist of two alpha and two beta subunits. Fetal hemoglobin consists of two alpha and two gamma subunits. This allows hemoglobin to bind oxygen with higher affinity compared to adult hemoglobin, allowing the extraction of oxygen from maternal circulation. It Is important in fetal…

human form. The excerpt describes her first live performance after she obtained her new cybernetic body. The audience is unaware of her true identity. Consequently, the reader understands if the audience will accept her in this current state-the symbiosis between a human flesh and a machine. Ultimately, people are contented by her performance and recognize her true identity as Deirdre. Following this passage, a thematic question emerges-what constitute a human? Many examples from…

The Cibecue Apache community of speakers is a group of Western Apaches who live in a relatively isolated area of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona. Although the modern Anglo-American world has increasingly encroached on the small settlement, much of the ancestral Apache culture, traditions, and beliefs remain a tangible part of daily life in Cibecue. Indeed, as Basso (1979) states, “most Western Apaches remain on the fringe of national American society, maintaining there with full…

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is found off the northeastern coast of Queensland, Australia, in the Coral Sea of the Pacific Ocean. Scientists believe that the coral reef structure was formed 60,000 years ago, but deteriorated due to climate & sea level changes. However, the coral reefs grew over the old structure. The current GBR is about 6,000 - 8,000 years old. The reef’s abiotic factors include sunlight, soil, water, climate, & temperature. It has a tropical climate & two distinct seasons,…
