Organic Molecules Organic Matter
633 wordsDissolved oxygen infers to the volume of oxygen that is contained in water. Oxygen enters water through photosynthesis and across the water interface. The amount of oxygen that can be held by the water depends on the water pressure, salinity, and temperature. Gas solubility increases with decreasing temperature; thus colder water holds more oxygen. A reason why freshwater holds more oxygen than does saltwater is because gas solubility increases with decreasing salinity. When there is a change in...

British Medical Journal Cell Membrane
1,080 words... g to one or more of the classes listed here, including miscellaneous. To keep up with evolving bacteria, scientists are attacking efflux pumps. Efflux pumps are what microbes use to rid themselves of toxic materials and drugs. The way science is perusing this is to attach these pumps with compounds called efflux-pump inhibitors. These compounds have no infection fighting power but can make current antimicrobial drugs more effective (Christensen). Microbes that caused sickness in the pre anti...

Kill The Microbes Column
351 wordsThe purpose of this project was to make a comparison of two different columns using different ingredients. I made a hypothesis that two columns would decompose at a slow rate depending on the environment, heat, water, air etc. And at the end I would end up with soil in both the columns. I used several ingredients in the making of my column; I used leaves, grass clippings (fresh), and pawn water. To make the column I followed the attached instructions. Equipment used: Scratch awl, triple beam bal...

Natural Enemies Naturally Occurring
1,817 wordsWhat are Biopesticide's? Biopesticide's (also known as biological pesticides) are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. For example, garlic, mint, and baking soda all have pesticides applications and are considered biopesticide's. At the end of 1998, there were approximately 175 registered bio pesticide active ingredients and 700 products. Biopesticide's fall into three major categories: 1) Microbial pesticides contain...

Living Organisms Magnetic Field
910 wordsCould icy moons of giant planets, such as Europa and Callisto, provide possible habitable environments for living organisms? Until such task is actually accomplished, scientists and researchers all over our world will forever be trying to find life in other parts of both our galaxy, and the Universe. Such fascination with extraterrestrial life has been brought to somewhat of a peak with the recent findings on two of Jupiter's so-called Galilean Satellites: Europa and Callisto. The findings from ...

Genetically Engineered Genetic Engineering
1,159 words65279; Genetic Engineering will be deadly. The harmful effects of this gene manipulation will not be discovered for years, and it will be too late to reverse the damage. The tools of genetic engineering are natural substances that control biochemical reactions that work like chemical scissors and glue, cutting and pasting DNA molecules and sticking them into the DNA of microbes. The microbes with these transplanted genes may be commercially useful because they can produce proteins that cannot...

Life On Mars Microscopic Organisms
619 wordsLittle Green Men or Just Little Microscopic Organisms? The question of life on Mars is a puzzle that has plagued many minds throughout the world. Life on Mars, though, is a reality. When you think of Martians, you think of little green men who are planning to invade Earth and destroy all human life, right? Well, some do and some do not. Though believing that there are little green men on Mars is just a fantasy, or is it? The kind of life that may have lived there is the kind you would never cons...

Leaf Nosed Bats Species Of Bats Microbes
946 wordsBy Nick Carroll (I do not wish to remain anonymous; let my work benefit everyone! ! ) Note: I wrote this as a freshman. I do not know if it is any good. The information is accurate, though. Have Fun! Bats: Their Life and Special Senses Bats are the only mammals capable of long periods of flight. Bats are classified into two distinct groups, larger bats, or megabits and smaller bats, called microbes, in 17 families. One of these families contain all megabits (more than 150 species); the other 16 ...

Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Washington D C
2,275 wordsThe Worlds Fight Against Microbes Many infectious diseases that were nearly eradicated from the industrialized world, and newly emerging diseases are now breaking out all over the world due to the misuse of medicines, such as antibiotics and antivirals, the destruction of our environment, and shortsighted political action and / or inaction. Viral hemorrhagic fevers are a group of diseases caused by viruses from four distinct families of viruses: filo viruses, arena viruses, flaviviruses, and bun...
