and all eukaryotic cells contain mitochondria. Most living things contain these cells. The cells in our body are constantly performing aerobic cellular respiration. This is what gives us the energy to live. Plants also perform this as well as bacteria. [

Introduction There has been an emergence of interest in the use of biological systems and bioremediation to degrade, modify, move, transform or sequester environmental contaminants. Traditional methods of remediation include chemical and physical processing and are often plagued with problems such as the creation of toxic bi-products and environmental damage. Bioremediation of a site offers the advantages of lower costs, environmental soundness, insitu or exsitu solutions, higher aesthetics, and

vegetables. Transmission can occur if you are infected and do not wash your hands after going to the bathroom then the bacteria can be passed through the food you are preparing, also if you use the same knife to cut raw chicken then cut tomatoes or other vegetables and do not wash it between using it again, therefore it will contaminate the other dishes with the bacteria. The bacteria is killed in the cooking of food, but if a carrier of the infection does not wash their hands after using the bathroom

hyperthermophiles. One reason for this is that the ether-containing linkages in the Archaea membranes are more stable and are able to withstand higher temperatures and stronger acid concentrations. The other two domains of life are Bacteria and Eukarya. Unlike the Bacteria and the Eukarya domains, the Archaea domain has membranes composed of branched hydrocarbon chains that are attached to glycerol by ether

1. The three functional domains of disgust are pathogen, moral, and sexual disgust. Pathogen disgust exists to help humans avoid harmful pathogens, the elicitors are "objects likely to contain infectious agents, including dead bodies, rotting foods, and bodily fluids such as feces, phlegm, vomit, blood, and semen" and motivates the avoidance of such things. Sexual disgust is hypothesized to be an adaptation to "avoiding biologically costly mates and sexual behaviors". Sexual disgust can be triggered

Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in state of Michigan MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is a potentially dangerous type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics and may cause skin and other infections. According to Haddadin and Fappiano in “Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the intensive care unit” MRSA is a Gram positive organism. The individual cocci measuring from 0.5-0.7 μm in diameter; it can

microorganisms to decompose organic matter under aerobic conditions. Microorganisms such as bacteria are responsible for decomposing organic waste. When organic matter such as dead plants, leaves, grass clippings, manure, sewage, or even food waste is present in a water supply, the bacteria will begin the process of breaking down this waste. When this happens, much of the available dissolved oxygen is consumed by aerobic bacteria, robbing other aquatic organisms of the oxygen they need to live. BOD also includes

OPV are enveloped brick-shaped viruses (350 × 270 nm) containing a double-stranded DNA genome with a size of approximately 200 kb, the ends of which are connected by covalent links - the different OPV species cannot be distinguished by means of electron microscopy - OPV are closely related to each other with regard to antigens and show marked homology at the genome level - The genome of the poxviruses encodes for 150–200 different genes - Unlike other DNA viruses, poxviruses replicate in the
