Charles Darwin published his work‚ On the Origin of Species‚ a work of scientific literature known to be the foundation of evolutionary biology in 1859. On the Origin of Species summarizes Darwin’s life work and research centered around how the world and species developed to the way we know them today. His basic theory was that species were not created but evolved and that the driving force in charge of evolution was natural selection. The controversial nature of his work stemmed from his departure

a home to many species of plants‚ both known and unknown. Our dependencies on tropical plants are vast ranging from the daily essentials of food and shelter‚ to cures for cancer and possibly AIDS. As destruction of the rainforest continues‚ the effects on plants are immense through the loss of genetic diversity and the disappearance of species. Plant species extinction is reaching critical levels. With this extinction comes a cascade of effects on the ecosystems in which plants play a vital role

Introduction: We observe growth movements among plants in our daily life. Growth movements are curvature movements caused by differential or unequal growth in plant organs‚ which results in their bending in the direction of a particular stimuli‚ for instance light. Such movements which are induced by external stimuli are called trophic movements. A trophic movement of plant organs in response to the source of light is known as Phototropism. The stem grows towards the direction of light‚ and is

Antioxidant Effects on Reactive Oxygen Species Abstract Antioxidants are among key molecules for a healthy living. Antioxidants are molecules that prevent damage of cells through inhibition of oxidizing agents such as free radicals. This experiment was aimed at investigating the role of antioxidant on the inhibition of reactive oxygen species. To demonstrate this‚ quercetin was used as antioxidant and its effect on reactive oxygen species examined. RAW 264.7 cells were

In Defense of Animals Introduction The phenomenon of illegal bear bile trade has aroused public concern in recent times. Driven by the demand for bear bile in medical use‚ a large number of bears are captured from the wild‚ locked up in the cage and forced to endure the torture of bile collection without anaesthetic. A true story from Hubpages (2011) describes how a mother bear killed her baby and committed suicide. The mother bear believed that it would be better if her child were to

Animal Testing: The Destruction of Animals Animal testing‚ also known as animal experimentation‚ is the use of non-human animals in experiments and development project‚ usually to determine toxicity‚ dosing and efficacy of drugs before proceeding to human clinical trials (Biology online). These tests are to examine new products‚ such as vaccines‚ shampoos‚ household products‚ cosmetics‚ foods‚ and personal care products on the animals so they are “safer” for the consumer‚ which never is an absolute
