be categorized by the function they serve in an ecosystem. Plants and some micro-organisms are producers--they make their own food. All animals, including humans, are consumers, which obtain food by eating other organisms. Decomposers, primarily bacteria and fungi, are consumers that use waste materials and dead organisms for food. Food webs identify the relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. For ecosystems, the major source of energy is sunlight. Energy entering

Anaemia The focus of this assignment is on the public awareness of anaemia. Research on this condition will be carried out and a simplistic, thorough understanding of anaemia will be provided. This will be done through the use of simple terminology along with a survey to assist on the understanding of the public awareness of the condition. Anaemia is a condition where there are lower levels of red blood cells in the body than normal (Natural Therapy Pages.) The most common signs of a person with

In this assignment I will be addressing how the digestive system and the respiratory are linked to energy metabolism in the body. I am addressing this to explain what the energy system is and how it functions the only way I can describe it is through explain the digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular system work and how they link together. This topic is really important as without energy we would be able to function or survive. There are 3 body systems involved with energy. The first system

SCI 115 Dr. Barbosa Assignment # 1 Paper due Week 4 By Susan B. 10/26/12 Photosynthesis is an amazing process that transpires inherently and is one that is required for all living organisms to sustain existence on this planet. The efficiency of this process has sparked inventions, such as the semiconductor-based solar cell, that would allow humans to produce energy in a way that is very similar to that of a plant’s photosynthetic process. In this paper, I will compare and contrast

Genetic engineering is the use of tools of modern biotechnology and molecular biology to introduce new characteristics or traits into organisms. It is a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal to introduce new genetic material, or delete or alter existing genetic material. Genetic engineering comes from foreign genes of bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans which enables people to introduce a much
