Let’s begin with the cell which is the basic unit of life and how these cells form together is a group called tissues. The biology, components which function within the cells or tissues are operating with organized management. This basic unit of a life cell could be a single cell such as bacteria or multiple cells such as animals and plants. According to the author of the book “The Hidden Connections” Mr. Fritjof Capra and other related scientists which explain in a marvelous form about the nature of life, the nature of the mind, consciousness, and the nature of social reality. The concern is about how do these units of life cells or tissues of each organism perform a function within the body and then make the organism’s to interact in their environment. The ecosystem and all organisms are co-related with each others for example, animals depends on the photosynthesis of plants for their energy needs, plants depend on the carbon dioxide produced by animals, as well as on the nitrogen fixed the bacteria at their roots. Similarly, plants, animals, and microorganisms all together regulate the entire biosphere and maintain the cycle conducive to life. This brings our attention that “what is life?” As the science of biology, indicated to us that metabolic processes involve special macromolecules very large molecules consisting of long chains of hundreds of atoms. These long chains consist of protein and nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) which is present in all cells (Luisi, 1998). Bacteria cell has two
