The Australian land and its flora and fauna are very unique compared to other continents. There are three main reasons for this‚ biological isolation‚ geological stability and the erratic climate. Firstly biological isolation has meant that over the last 40 million years Australia has been separated from all other continents‚ this was the cause from the separation from Gondwanaland around 55 million years ago. This means the Australian flora and fauna has been able to evolve in isolation

C. partellus gut protease and protease inhibitor activity assays. C. partellus gut protease activity was estimated using chromogenic substrate BApNA [Manasi A et al.‚ 2005]. It was dissolved in the DMSO and a final concentration was made to 1mM in 1.0ml‚ Glycine-NaOH buffer (pH 9)‚ assays were carried at 38°C for 30min [Manasi A et al.‚ 2005]. The reaction was terminated by adding of acetic acid (30%) of 200µl [8‚ 9‚ Manasi A et al.‚ 2005 ]. Supernatant (0.5ml) was added to 1M NaOH (0.5ml) and the

The most interesting portion of the book was the section where the author discussed the idea of ``Bigger Guts vs. Bigger Brains.`` When our handyman ancestors had a stomach that was fit for digesting berries‚ various plants and nuts required a longer track system in order to congest the content seems very logical. This meant that these massive and complex intestines require more energy‚ which meant that the brain had less energy at its disposal. Because of the changing environment‚ these species

Why is the flora and fauna of Australia so unique? Evolution is ultimately an unpredictable process. Although it can be predicted in the short term through knowledge of natural selection and inheritance‚ long term evolution is randomly altered by the interaction of highly variable factors. Such factors include the randomness of genetic diversity within a species and the process of natural selection acting upon this. Also significantly altering evolution is the unpredictable movement of tectonic plates

These include temperature‚ light (sun exposure)‚ soil composition‚ rocks‚ water‚ air pollution‚ humidity‚ radiation‚ and wind that can influence a species’ ability to survive. In each case the impact on the ecosystem will depend on the intensity

The movie “Dead Poets Society” has a recurring theme of being outgoing and assertive with yourself. One quote in particular stands above the rest to me. “Sucking all the marrow out of life doesn’t mean choking on the bone.” Mr. Keating. My gut tells me that the quote is about when you take life for granted‚ then you will end up being stuck in a rut. Basically‚ if the this makes it easier to understand‚ imagine a large glass of water as life. If you drink it too fast or have to much you will most
