Many bacteria are parasitic on external and internal body surfaces; some of these invade the inner tissues and cause disease. Most parasites are obligate; i.e., they are unable to

Answer is: the Russian name for the forest 8. What are the four different “zones” of the marine biome? Answer is: intertidal zone, pelagic zone, benthic zone, abyssal 9.
The euryarchaeota which include methane-producers and salt-lovers; and the korarchaeota catch-all group for archaeans about which very little is known. 9. Protists are eukaryotes rather than prokaryotes. Eukaryotes are organisms that have cells that contain a nucleus. Prokaryotes are organisms that have cells that do not have a nucleus.
Examination of The Winton Dinosaur Project Findings in the Queensland, Australia Winton Dinosaur project show that the sauropod named "Elliot" may have died with his mate by his side (Salleh 2003). Anna Salleh from ABC Science Online discusses the new fossil evidence found by Dr. Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland, who is one of the leading researchers on the Winton Project (2003). Dr. Alex Cook and assistants Scott Hocknull and Dr. Steve Salisbury lead the Winton Project. Elliot is one of the largest dinosaurs found to date in Australia, dating to about 98-95 million years ago (Beirne 2001). According to researchers, Queensland, Australia was covered by a vast inland sea during the time of the dinosaurs 98-95 million

The two types of traditional resources used in regards to the medicinal uses of the Quinine Tree were written book literature and video interviews/documentaries with the knowledge holders of this region. The written literature includes two books, the first a reference type book on ‘Australian Medicinal Plants’, researched and written solely by Botanists/Herbalists. The second, ‘Bush Food’ written by Jennifer Isaacs, is a detailed record of bush foods and medicines used by aborigines from all regions of

Discuss the origin and significance of diversity within and between species using a named taxonomic group of your choice It is thought that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor despite the enormous variation of organisms found across the globe. The significance and origin of this diversity will be discussed using examples from the Salamanders ( Order: Caudata) which is composed of 10 families( see figure 1) and approximately 400 species that due to a wide array of adaptive features occupy grasslands, forest canopies, caves, rivers, seasonal ponds and other aquatic environments across Eurasia and the Americas (Davic,et al 2004) Figure 1 showing the families of Caudata and their phylogenetic relationship (Larson et al,2006) The origin of Variation within species Within a species there is a vast amount of variation with no two individuals being identical (Darwin, 1859). The cause of variation within a species is primarily due to genetic reasons and to some extent environmental factors (Campbell et al. 2005). The genetic factors can be subdivided into mutations and chromosomal activity during sexual reproduction.
Lynx From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lynx[1] Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) Scientific classification e Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae Subfamily: Felinae Genus: Lynx Kerr, 1792 Type species Lynx lynx Linnaeus, 1758 Species Lynx lynx Lynx canadensis Lynx pardinus Lynx rufus Lynx ranges A lynx (/ˈlɪŋks/;[2] plural lynx or lynxes[3]) is any of the four species within the Lynx genus of medium-sized wildcats. The name "lynx" originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word "λύγξ",[2] derived from the Indo-European root "leuk-", meaning "light, brightness",[4] in reference to the luminescence of its reflective eyes. [4] There is considerable confusion about the best way to classify felids at present, and some authorities classify them as part of the genus Felis. Neither the caracal, sometimes called the Persian lynx or African lynx, nor the jungle cat, called the swamp lynx, is a member of the Lynx genus.
