What are the three types of organisms? There are many different types of organisms on our planet. The three types of organisms are prokaryotes (unicellular), eukaryotes (multicellular), and producers/consumers.What is an Organism? Consider a classroom. There may be a computer, a plant, some ...
An organism is a living system that can respond to stimuli, grow, reproduce, and maintain a consistent state, known as homeostasis. They include animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Although some organisms only have one cell or a small number of cells, the large organisms are structured...
Definition: A system that includes all living organisms (biotic factors) in an area as well as its physical environment (abiotic factors) functioning together as a unit. Table of Contents Ecosystem Definition Anecosystemis a system consisting of biotic and abiotic components that function together as...
Ecological equilibrium refers to a state of balance and stability in an ecosystem. When a system is at equilibrium the populations of organisms and their interactions with the environment are relatively stable over time. It represents a dynamic equilibrium where the rates of birth, death, and other...
Camouflage.Camouflage is when organisms can use their coloring, texture and general body shape in order to blend in with their surroundings, which helps them avoid being spotted and eaten by predators. An amazing example of this would be various species of squid that can change their appearance ...
Annual rhythms are also common among living beings (seed germination, migration of birds, reproduction, hibernation). Photoperiodic reactions help the organisms to orient themselves during the course of the year (seed germination, flowering, diapause). Daily clocks of Drosophila are molecular ...
Which of these structures are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells? a. Central vacuole b. Plasma membrane c. Nuclear membrane d. Ribosomes What organelles are cellular structures were common to all the different organisms looked at with the microscope?
Much like a branching tree diagram, cladograms are a way of showing relationships between different organisms. These drawings are used in cladistics, and nowhere resembles an evolutionary tree; they are instead used for tracing out the common hypothetical ancestor that exhibits similar characteristics...
The sensory system in these organisms includes photoreceptors, rheoreceptors, chemoreceptors as well as tangoreceptors. Located on the body wall (particularly the tegument), tangoreceptors are an important part of the sensory system that allows Monogeneans to respond to pressure in their surroundings...
(PHA). PHAs are polyesters that are synthesized and stored by various micro-organisms. The only downside is the cost of the additional carbon needed for the micro-organisms to metabolize and produce these biodegradable polyesters – although waste cooking oils and animal oils...
