LICHENS (fungus) - are dual organisms because they have a symbiotic association between two or more entirely different types of microorganism, usually a fungus and algae Scientific name/general classification - orange sea lichen Caloplaca marina (G) Kingdom: fungi Phylum: ascomycota Class: lecanoromycetes Order: teloschistales Family: teloschistaceae Genus: caloplaca Species: c. marina Physical stats 13,500 to 17,000 species The body is termed the thallus and the general shape allows for classification

Are Viruses Living Organisms? There has always been one big question in biology, and that is, are viruses living or not? Some biologists claim they are alive, whereas others defend that they are not alive. Although biologists who believe that viruses are alive may have some good points, there is just not enough evidence to prove they are alive. Viruses meet most, but not all seven requirements for life, therefore making it impossible for them to be living. The first characteristic of life is structure

Organism Physiology The course in which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed from earlier forms during the history of the earth is defined as Evolution. Many time organisms evolve due to environmental changes. To better understand evolution this paper will review a diagram of an organism and explain how the organism has evolved physiologically to become suited to fit its environment. Organism To understand the evolution of an organism it is important to understand

Cody Spenillo Professor VJ Rossmann Unknown Organism Assignment My unknown organism #11 is Escherichia coli (E. coli). E. coli belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. E. coli is Gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, and rod-shaped bacteria (bacillus). [1] E. coli is a single chromosome (haploid). E. coli has 4600 kilobases with about 4300 coding sequences and has around 1800 known E. coli proteins. 70% of its genes are monocistronic and 6% are polycistronic, roughly having the same amount of

There are many unique and different organisms. They are all so different because they evolve. Organisms are constantly changing and adapting to be better suited to their environment. The organisms that survive produce their offspring that may have new adaptations or be well adapted. New generations of organisms keep changing and producing differences. The different and unique organisms on Earth are products of genetic variation, natural selection and adaptations, and evolution. Genetic variability

commercial purposes. One example of successful transgenic species is a strawberry plant with a salmon gene inserted into it, the salmon gene helps the strawberries grow in a colder environment. These crops are also known as GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). Analyse information from secondary sources to identify examples of the use of transgenic species and use available evidence to debate the ethical issues arising from the development and use of transgenic species.

INTRODUCTION When genetic engineering is done on an organism, it introduces new characteristics on the organism. Organisms, that is plants and animal gene configuration can be changed using modern biotechnology. When the genes in an organism are changed this basically called genetic modification. There are some terms we need to know when we talk about genetic modification. What is a genetically modified organism? This is a plant or animal which through new biotechnology techniques, its genetic configuration

“Pathogens are microscopic organisms that cause or have the potential to cause disease.” (Bailey, 2017). Pathogens are tiny organisms that have the ability or power to cause diseases. The pathogens are the root factor of different kind of disease both infectious and non-infectious. All microbes are pathogenic. The human body contains several species of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa which aid to maintain functions like digestion and immune system. The pathogenic organism will survive and multiplies

During the course of the past thirty years, the study of model organisms has become more significant in the study of embryological development. A model organism is a species that is easy to cultivate and monitor in a laboratory environment and is used to represent broad groups of organisms. Examples of successful and important model organisms include the Ascidia, Zebrafish, and Medeka species. Through intense researching of these organisms, scientists have been able to gain valuable insight into the

We examined cells from all four kingdoms of the Eukaryotes using a light microscope and found that the cells make up all of these living organisms. Introduction: What are cells? Cells are the smallest living part of living organisms and are the building blocks of life. Each individual cell has all of the nine properties of life. The first one is homeostasis, which is the tendency of a system to maintain internal stability. For example, normal body temperature which is 98.5° and blood pH level
