The cilia on cells that line a female organism's Fallopian tubes, for example, help to move the ovum to its fateful meetup with the sperm cell on its journey to the uterus. The flagella and cilia of eukaryotic cells are not the same structurally as those found in prokaryotic cells. Built...
Cells can vary between 1 micrometer (μm) and hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Within a cell, a DNA double helix is approximately 10 nanometers (nm) wide, whereas the cellular organelle called a nucleus that encloses this DNA can be approximately 1000 times bigger (about 10 μm). Se...

What are the dimensions of an average bacillus in micrometers? Bacillus: Bacillus refers to a rod-shaped, gram-positive bacterium. A well known bacillus is Escherichia coli, a type of bacteria commonly found in green leafy vegetables (ex: lettuce) that can cause food borne illnesses. B...
Droplet contact: When the infection is spread by inhalation of droplets which are greater than 5 micrometers in size, these cannot travel more than 3 feet distance from the source. Vector-borne contact: When the infection is spread by a vector or another organism such as mosquito (malaria) ...
1. Composing about 78 percent of the air at sea level, what is the most common gas in the Earth's atmosphere? 2. The Austrian monk Gregor Mendel's observations of what organism formed the basis for the science of genetics? 3. What term, which means the maximum absolute value of a...
Mycoplasma is a micro-organism that is somewhere between a bacterium and a virus. Mycoplasma pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs caused by Mycoplasma infection, which can involve the bronchi, fine bronchioles, alveoli and interstitium...
about the form of the experience; there may even (though I doubt it) be implications about the behavior of the organism. But fundamentally an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism....
BLACK MOLD on ROTTING SUB-FLOOR photo] below a leaky sliding glass door - this "black mold" was Taeoniella rudus for which no medical issues have been reported - a wood rotting organism though. An investigation of the source of outside leaks and extent of damage to the structure were ne...
Haploid means that the organism has only one set of chromosomes, and is often noted as "n." In contrast, diploid organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, and the shorthand "2n" is used for this stage. The four main types of life cycles in algae are...
