Evolution has provided various species with changes that have benefitted their successors in various ways. One of those changes is an innovation known as bipedalism and dates back to various species who were ancestors of modern day humans. The following text will review how this valuable innovation originated, the environmental...
Ever since the antique times philosophers and scientists have been proving that humans are not much different from other animal species. For example, genetically, Homo sapiens are almost identical to chimpanzees. However, through the course of the evolution, humans diverged from other representatives of the animal kingdom. Meat consumption played...
The most exciting detail seemed to be beliefs about angels, which children turn into when they die. Such ideas appear to turn women into warriors whose tears are seen as weakness. Instead of mourning the angels, these warriors should protect them and trample them, possibly, on the way to heaven,...
One of the models of considering consciousness in relation to the body perceives the mind as non-material information and a way of organizing it. A brain is a material object representing its own computer, which allows you to connect blocks of information with each other, which are the main content...
Introduction This essay details various topics, including the water cycle, a series of physical stages involving processes. Moreover, these procedures pertain to where water is changed from liquid to gas. However, the essay enlightens the ten cloud systems and, ultimately, sheds light on the weather, which is a fundamental aspect...
Introduction Archaeology is an integral part of understanding world history through viewing material remains such as artifacts, ecofacts, features, and human and animal remain. The subject of research is crucial because it can shed light on how humanity first evolved and the way their predecessors managed to live for more...
The fluctuation of the deer population on Arizona’s Kaibab Plateau from 1905 to 1939 is an excellent example that demonstrates the importance of carrying capacity. This concept refers to the average population size of the species that the geographical area can support (National Geographic, n.d.). In other words, the environment...
Neuromyths is a term that depicts a set of assertions and perceptions about brain research that are useful for the educational process. More often than not, neuromyths arise because people do not have enough knowledge and are not interested. The sources of myths are most often educators and teachers who...
Exercise is an essential element which contributes to the health of every person and positively affects the entire body. At the same time, from the perspective of biology, exercise becomes a significant challenge for the homeostasis of humans. The article “Integrative Biology of Exercise” by Hawley et al. provides an...
Did you know that studying cutaneous glands can result in significant advances in science and technology? The cutaneous glands are a type of microscopic glands on the skin of an organism, capable of producing various substances. There are a total of 5 different types of glands, all part of the...
Introduction The regulation of genetic information is important and must occur within the confines of specific conditions to ensure the expression of the target genes. The process occurs through Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-binding proteins (DBPs), which identify the specific sequence for attachment resulting in preservation. Regulation and expression of genetic information....
Abstract Molecular analysis for studying the spatial configuration and properties of proteins has applications in modern biotechnology. In the present work, the enzyme pectate lyase (Pel1), obtained in the early stages using the transformation of recombinant plasmids into a bacterial culture of E. coli BL21(DE3), is studied in this way....
Introduction In cartography, it is essential to properly structure the details incorporated into the drawing of maps. Any mislabeling, erroneous segmentation and data entry may ruin the perception of one’s reality and lead to bad decision-making or confusion among those who utilize the maps. Therefore, a good map should carefully...
The first video by SomeoneSmol, “May 11, 2022 (a).” provides an overview of the methods of studying the Greenland ice sheet, revealing how exactly the age of the ice and the conditions it existed in can be determined. For example, one of the most recent ways of researching Greenland ice...
Studying the human body from a microbiological perspective reveals to one that the organism is a much more structurally complex set of systems than most cutting-edge technologies. The microbiome is one of the most unusual and intriguing parts of the body due to its partial bio-autonomy in terms of existence...
The research summarizes and provides basic information on sleep stages. It shows the biological effects and human behavior at each stage, using Saladin’s (2017) research. However, sleep science is a developing field with discoveries and answers to the existing questions appearing consistently. One such study is the review research by...
Neurons have a capability for both communication within the cell and between cells. These are done via sending electrical signals, or action potentials. This ability is called action potential conduction. The process of communication between neurons is called neurotransmission and can be done in various ways, including chemical and electric...
