How soil structure and texture affect soil living organisms and eventually plant life? What makes the seaweed different from all the other plants on its tree? Why might leaves have thick cuticle layers? Would you expect to find a cuticle more abundant in aquatic plants...
. Transcriptome analysis of a large group of genes under identical conditions, coupled with knowledge about gene expression profiles, is crucial for understanding the molecular pathways regulating the development of specific organs or tissues in all organisms, including plants and their vascular tissues. ...
fungi obtain their energy from other organisms in order to survive. Many are saprophytic and feed on dead plant and animal material, others are parasitic and feed off living plant or animal hosts, while some are symbiotic and exist in mutually beneficial relationships with other organisms including...
Some variations are favorable, in that they make those individuals best-suited to their environment, and some are not. Those organisms with favorable variations will survive and pass those traits on to their offspring; those individuals with unfavorable variations will die and not pass on their tra...
"Life is a densely branching bush, not a scale or a ladder, and living organisms are at the tips of the branches, not on lower rungs. … They become bigger, or faster, or more poisonous, or more fecund, or more sensitives to smells and sounds, or able to fly higher and farther,...
Dichotomous keys are commonly used to identify many different types of organisms. For example, they can be used to identify anything from species of venomous snake, to insect pests of citrus trees, or types of aquatic plant. This technique can allow users unfamiliar with a specimen to key out...
All living things are made of cells. In multicellular organisms, cells make up tissues and tissues make up organs. Groups of organs work together in organ systems to perform a specific job for the body.Answer and Explanation: In humans, the circulatory system is tied to the respiratory ...
In many parts of the world, roadsides are regularly managed for traffic-safety reasons. Hence, there are similarities between roadsides and certain other managed habitats, such as wooded pastures and mown or grazed grasslands. In contrast to roadsides, t
What the plans did really do for us, however, was give us a sense of scale that we were lacking while dreaming up this house. We got to see how compact things will be, and how very carefully rooms and appliances need to be arranged within the house to give it the “feel” we’re...
While inner membrane proteins cross the lipid bilayer via hydrophobic α-helices, proteins inserted in the outer membrane contain amphipathic β-strands that are arranged in a linear antiparallel β-sheet; this β-sheet folds into a barrel by establishing hydrogen bonds between the first and last ...
