discoveries into how the universe came about and the way in which it formed, even down to the purpose for feelings such as fear. But for all the ground breaking discoveries into how the universe was made, it simply cannot answer why the universe came into existence into first place. A question religion seems to answer. If we are to stay with subject of creation, we find many places in which it seems that science and faith not only seem to be present harmoniously but, if both are considered as fact, seem to
In the natural environment, organisms form a complexity of relationships, these interactions aid the composition and maintenance of genetic variation within ecosystems. The interaction of a predator with its prey offers one such example. To become a successful predator an organism is likely to be subject to trade-offs. This project aimed to begin identification of phenotypic trade-offs, and the genes that control them, during the predation of multiple bacterial species by the social amoeba Dictyostelium
order to explain the existence of the universe and emergence of life on Earth. Today, many scientist firmly believe that the universe was created approximately when infinitely small and dense point known as singularity started expanding 14 billion years ago. Fine tuned expansion unleashed the beginning of the time and space itself. Our Earth formed some 4 or 5 billion years ago, and the first living single organisms appeared in water roughly 0.5-1.5 billions years after its existence.(35, Theism, Atheism
“The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy…The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite,” wrote Jules Verne in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The irony is striking; we rely heavily on oceans, the iconic feature of our planet, yet more than ninety-five percent of the ocean depths remain unexplored. The disparity between our dependence on the
handcrafted lenses. “Leeuwenhoek is known to have made over 500 "microscopes," of which fewer than ten have survived to the present day.” (Dobell). Antony Van Leeuwenhoek, in 1673, became the first human being to detect single-celled microorganisms with a complex microscope. The idea of single-celled microorganisms was as good as imaginary to some at this time. Van Leeuwenhoek’s in exhaustive observation, and ensuring his discovery of bacteria, was the motive that pushed other scientist and scholars to expand
eukaryotic (an organism which contains a nucleus and organelles enclosed within a membrane ). Was pioneered in the 1960’s by the seminal work of Lynn Margulis. This theory attempts to explain the origins of eukaryotic cell organelles, specifically the mitochondria (providing the cells ATP (used for the cells metabolism) supply used by the cell as chemical energy ). With the theory suggesting that the mitochondria and plastids within a eukaryotic cell were once independent prokaryotic cells (a single celled
Effects of Reoccurring Physical Contact on Bacterial Growth in Human and Indoor Environments Erick Dominguez Biology 1108 Wednesday 5:32p.m. Abstract: The knowledge of the existence of bacteria can be traced back ages, however their existence can be traced to the very start of planet Earth. The project focused on surfaces with constant physical human interaction and the growth of bacterial colonies in indoor environments. The process centered on the use of Aseptic technique to collect samples
Until 1859, Sir Charles Darwin’s book “On the Origin of Species” introduced and described a theory based solely on biological information stating how organisms constantly improve themselves generation after generation through a process called natural selection. Therefore affirming that we have evolved from the smallest of single-celled organisms from billions of years ago. Then evolving into the sea life and the first fish to walk on land, and so on. Darwin wrote, "…Natural selection acts only by
plants and single-celled organisms reproduce partly or solely through these processes. (What) Most flowering plants can reproduce in two ways. In cross-pollination, pollen is produced in one plant and finds its way to an ovule in another plant’s flower. However, a plant can also fertilize its own ovule. This is known as self-pollination or autogamy. Self-pollination results in offspring that have the same genes as the parent, so by definition they are clones. (Pollination) Single-celled organisms and somatic
History of Cell Theory As we all probably know today, every single living being is made up by cells the building blocks of life. As much as we would like to take this fact for granted, we cannot help but acknowledge and remember the works and discoveries of earlier scientists which all contributed to our today's understanding of the cell theory. The cell theory being; all living things are composed of one or more cells, cells are organisms' basic units of structure and function, and cells only come
