Biotechnology? Biotechnology can broadly be defined as the art of understanding and manipulating living organisms’ genes (code of life) and their products for the production of food‚ medicine‚ drink‚ or for other benefits or useful purposes to mankind and other organisms. Basically‚ it is a field of applied biology that involves the using of living organisms to create useful products for mankind and other organisms. BIOLOGY + TECHNOLOGY = BIOTECHNOLOGY Biotechnology can be used to solve many biological

Water and me Water is a colourless‚ transparent and odourless liquid which forms the seas‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms. It is a chemical compound whose formula is H2O. It covers 71% of the earth’s surface and is necessary for every known organism to live. 97% of the total water found on the earth lies in the oceans. The rest of water is in the form of glaciers and ice caps (2.1%)‚ ground water (0.6%)‚ inland water (0.2%) and water vapours (0.001%).

Like living organisms: they do multiply. Examples of Viruses There are many viruses in the world. We have all experienced one at one time or another. If you have ever had the flu or a cold‚ that is a virus. Those viruses are relatively minor‚ but there are some that are life-threatening. * small pox * cold sore * influenza * cold * yellow fever * Ebola * anthrax * AIDS Viruses can also cause disease in animals and plants. Who is Safe? No living organisms are safe from

According to Cambridge Advanced Learner Dictionary Third Edition‚ parasite is an organism that lives on or in another living organism and feeds from it. Parasites are organism that could affect human body and gain benefits on it and gives human diseases out of it. Parasites cause a lot of major disease to human‚ and animals. Parasites also carries diseases from animals and transmit it to humans.Parasite was first discovered by Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran‚ a military doctor in France’s Service

Microbiology nutrition and growth Microbiology is a branch of science that deals with the study of small micro-organism that cannot be seen through naked eyes but only through the use of a microscope. Some of the Micro-organism in the environment include; bacteria‚ viruses and fungi to mention but a few. Whereas some Micro-organisms are associated with causing of diseases others are known for destroying the balance in the ecosystem. However‚ this is not always the case

Based on the movie‚ the genetic breakthrough that happened were the drugs ALZ 112 and ALZ 113 that were labeled as the cure to the Alzheimer’s disease. These drugs contained a virus that lead organisms with strong immune systems to have heightened intelligence‚ full cognitive recovery‚ increased memory quality‚ and faster reparation of brain cells‚ although harmful to those with weak immune systems. In my own opinion‚ the evolutionary manipulation

adaptions; 13.1 Note: Living organisms can survive‚ grow and reproduce only in surroundings that provide sufficient levels of nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen and carbon dioxide‚ and suitable living conditions such as light and temperature. Tolerance range: the range of conditions – for example‚ temperature that an organism can survive in. Tolerance range also affects the distribution of an organism meaning where they live. To live in a basic habitat an organism must have access to the basic requirements

Applied Ethics “Is it morally impermissible to use animals medically for human sake?” To begin with‚ we have to point out that under which situation is permissible to use animals for human sake. We believe we can only use animals when it exerts constructive and affirmative influence to human beings which means it might save lives and enhance the quality of living on a general basis and most importantly‚ when there is no existing alternative. Using animals medically for human sake is morally

The teleological argument suggests that there had to be a designer of all biological organisms because of their order and complexity. If there had to be a designer of
