reactions that the living cells and organisms use to maintain life. It also divides into two categories: Catabolism – that breakdown the molecules to obtain energy and Anabolism – that creates all of the compounds that the cells need to function. Nutrition is an important part of the availability of nutrients that utilized in the reactions that either synthesize or catabolize the material that is employed by the cells to produce power. This power is a requirement by the organism to synthesize proteins

My “Whale” to Survive Why do you think any living animal wants to keep living‚ to keep going on? Why do living organisms try so hard to survive? The very idea of just thinking about why organisms and more specifically‚ humans go on living is bewildering. The survival instinct theory states that all organisms have biological tendencies that help them survive. This implies that all behaviors and actions are based on the survival of the individual organism. Therefore‚ based on science‚ I believe that

inert/non-living’ from ‘the living’ of which a an organism has to posses in order for it to be considered as a living being. These include self organization or movement‚ growth‚ reproduction‚ inheritance‚ feeding‚ excretion‚ sensitivity and adaptation. Moreover‚ the question of what life is takes us back to evolution‚ that is‚ for an organism to be considered living‚ it has to be part of the fossil record. Even so‚ there are living organisms which do not show some of these characteristics of life

Studying Life Characteristics of Living Things What are some characteristics of living things? No single characteristic is enough to describe a living thing. Some nonliving things share one or more traits with living things. Living things share the following characteristics: made up of units called cells reproduce based on a universal genetic code grow and develop obtain and use materials and energy respond to their environment maintain a stable internal environment change over time

How microscopes have contributed to our understanding of living organisms There are 2 types of microscopes these are; light microscope and electron microscope. Light microscopes use a beam of light however the resolution is lower than the electron microscope so the image is not clear‚ however they can view living organisms. These types of microscopes are used in schools to view simple cellular structures‚ which is good to teach simple biology Mitosis and meiosis can be seen with light microscopes

Aim: To investigate whether living organisms by respiration convert oxygen into Co2. Introduction: The process by which organisms release energy from food is called respiration. There are two categories of respiration‚ depending on the amount of oxygen available. Aerobic respiration is the most common type of respiration. It requires oxygen- the reason why you are breathing right now. Anaerobic respiration requires no oxygen. The experiment which will take place is the aerobic respiration. Earthworms

(4) uses of energy in biological processes (B); active transport; muscle contraction; nerve transmission; synthesis; translocation; nitrogen fixation; receptors ENERGY TRANSFERS WHICH TAKE PLACE INSIDE LIVING ORGANISMS Living organisms including all plants and animals require energy for their cellular processes. In biological processes‚ the immediate energy source is often in the form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The nucleotide ATP maintains both catabolic and anabolic reactions. An example of

Unicellular organism From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search "Single-celled" redirects here. For prison cell assignment‚ see Single-celling. Valonia ventricosa is among the largest unicellular species. A unicellular organism‚ also known as a single-celled organism‚ is an organism that consists of only one cell‚ unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells. Historically the simple single celled organisms have sometimes been referred to as monads

* NCERT 1. Reproduction in Organisms INTRODUCTION Biology in essence is the story of life on earth. While individual organisms die without fail‚ species continue to live through millions of years unless threatened by natural or anthropogenic extinction. Reproduction becomes a vital process without which species cannot survive for long. Each individual leaves its progeny by asexual or sexual means. Sexual mode of reproduction enables creation of new variants‚ so that survival advantage is enhanced

Ways in which living organisms differ from each other There are many ways in which living organisms differ from each other. In this essay I will discuss the various ways of which this occurs. There are two different types of cells‚ there are prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Within eukaryotes there are different structures and similar structures. For example; in a plant cell they have a nucleus‚ mitochondria an ER‚ and a Golgi body. These are the same as animal cells; however they differ because plants
