Because they are grouped in the same kingdom‚ the nine animal phyla share the same fundamental characteristics- they are multicellular‚ heterotrophic eukaryotes that obtain nutrients through ingestion‚ they lack cell walls‚ they have nervous tissue and muscle tissue‚ and they reproduce sexually and have a unique embryonic life cycle. However‚ the animal phyla have a great number of differences as well. Some are visible to the naked eye‚ while others are less obvious‚ and still more cannot even be

White sand rolls into the bluish green water‚ creating the peaceful and calming atmosphere that this beach is known for. During the day‚ the sky is a beautiful blue‚ the sun shining through‚ it’s rays beaming down on everyone soaking up it’s environment‚ and the sun’s persistence making it impossible to forget it is there. Not a cloud in the sky‚ the light blue illuminates the sun in the most perfect way‚ reflecting it off the water to bring together the best of both worlds. Standing on that beach

natural selection‚ evolution‚ mutation‚ variation‚ heritability‚ and fitness. EVOLUTION IN ACTION Darwin envisioned natural selection acting so slowly that its effects would be imperceptible in a human lifetime. But in the late 1900s‚ evolutionary biologists began to detect small but significant changes taking place in a handful of species. In the past decade‚ many more cases of natural selection have come to light‚ and scientists now realize that species can adapt quickly to changes in their

Dear Grace‚How are you and your family getting on? I hope everyone is fine. I await with eager anticipation to share with you that I spend a family vacation on a tropical island ended up with this wonderful holiday trip to Tioman‚ a popular Malaysian island resort which shot to fame as the island of Bali Hai in the Rodger’s & Hammerstein movie of ’South Pacific’.

of their time underwater‚ yet they require oxygen to respire‚ and as water is such a good solvent the required oxygen gas is dissolved in the water. <br> <br>Water is the most abundant component in any organism‚ the lowest is 20% in seeds‚ while jellyfish are 99% (hence the transparency). It plays vital roles in the metabolism of all cells and in photosynthesis (providing raw materials) in plant cells. In all cells water is used for; hydrolysis‚ the breakdown of a substance by water‚ e.g. polysaccharides

Plastic stops animals from surviving in various ways. Much of which inevitably finds its way into marine ecosystems as microscopic particles. The water gets dirty and its hard for the animals to breathe. A seaturtle can mistake a plastic bag for a jellyfish and that leads to blockade in the gut and leads to an internal death. The plastic also makes them buoyant‚ and unable to dive for food. Fish in the North Pacific injest 12‚000 to 24‚000 tons of plastic every year. When seabirds injest plastic it

Abstract: This lab works to develop the understanding of bacterial transformation through the integration of a plasmid into E-coli bacteria. Understanding of plasmids‚ GFP‚ expression of genes and bacterial candidates is used to formulate a lab which demonstrates a variety of factors associated with transformation efficiency. It was deduced that there are certain requirements present in the pGLO plasmid for full gene expression and that an increase in transformation solution positively impacts
