Cellular Respiration
ISBN: 9781606509975 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many people find the process of cell metabolism boring and dry, but thata (TM)s because they tried to memorize all the steps. This book takes a fresh approach and shows the elegance of cells extracting energy from food and regulating this process as needed. What happens to a meal after it is eaten? Food consists primarily of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates (sugars). How do cells in the body process food once it is eaten and turn it into a form of energy that other cells can use? This book examines some of the classic experimental data that revealed how cells break down food to extract...

Organismal Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509739 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Organisms maintain homeostasis in a variety of ways. In the first part of this book, mammals are shown to regulate their body temperatures through homeostatic mechanisms. The data from thermoregulation experiments that demonstrated the role of neurons in body temperature homeostasis are examined. The second part of this book discusses how organisms allocate the limited energy that is available to them for survival, growth, or reproduction. Excess energy in individuals can translate to growth of populations: if enough remains after survival and growth, it can be allocated to reproduction....

Evolution of Interactions in Communities
ISBN: 9781606509678 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pairwise and diffuse coevolution are defined, with examples that include mutualisms and predator-prey interactions. In any example of coevolution, the costs and benefits to both species involved in the interaction must be assessed in order to understand evolution of the interaction. Models to explain coral bleaching are examined in the context of a coevolutionary mutualism, as are the implications for the possible extinction of coral reefs. Data are examined in order to determine which model is best supported. Other examples of how evolution affects interactions and communities of organisms...

Ecological Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Food webs, energy flow, indirect effects, and nutrient cycling are described as properties that emerge in ecological systems. Several of these properties are shown in this book to result from indirect effects and interactions between species and abiotic components of ecological systems. For instance, top predators affect organisms with which they do not directly interact, including plants and non-prey animals. In some other interactions, including competition, the nonliving components of ecological systems (the abiota) can alter the outcome of a biotic interaction. A limiting resource often...

Cellular Consequences of Evolution
ISBN: 9781606509876 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Cellular Consequences of Evolution applies evolutionary mechanism to understand how DNA mutations are formed and how new species arise. The final chapter applies evolution to B cells and considers why allergies get worse over time. Once the first cell arose on Earth, how did genetic diversity arise if DNA replication and cell division generate exact copies? The answer is that neither process is perfect and that changes do occur at each step. Some changes are small and subtle while others are large and dramatic. As DNA mutates, evolution of a population takes place. But when can someone...

This book describes and analyzes genetic and environmental factors that cause variation in individuals and populations. Data will be used to evaluate the processes by which variation is generated in organisms and how variation affects natural selection. Genetic factors include mutation, independent assortment, crossing over, and recombination. Environmental factors include gradients and differences in abiotic conditions. Genotype frequencies can be used to determine allele frequencies and this information can be used to determine whether a population is evolving at a genetic locus. The...

Population Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509753 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book will synthesize the concepts of selection against individuals in response to environmental change to illustrate how selection against individuals results in homeostasis at the population level. For instance, selection against the light phenotype of the peppered moth during the early part of the industrial revolution led to an increase of the dark phenotype, which was better camouflaged against the soot that accumulated on tree bark as a result of burning coal. Populations are shown to be regulated by feedback mechanisms, several of which are discussed here. Populations are regulated...

ISBN: 9781606509692 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book identifies the commonalities between communication within a species and communication between species. Behavior and exchange of non-heritable information occurs between individuals of different species, in animals and plants, in order to exploit other species and compete for resources. Several examples of adaptations of one species to exploit the information passed between individuals of another species are given. This book describes how animals make decisions while gathering information and resources, selecting habitat, and interacting with potential competitors. Plants grow in...

Using DNA Information to Make Proteins
ISBN: 9781944749170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Using DNA Information to Make Proteins covers a oecentral dogmaa meaning the conversion of DNA information into RNA and protein. Readers will also learn about non-linear information of mRNA and protein processing. Many people were taught that DNA is the a oeblueprint of the cell, a but what does that really mean? If taken literally, it would reveal a static image of what the cell looks like, but that would be incorrect. DNA codes the necessary information to produce a living being but the DNA itself is insufficient to bring a cell to life. DNA must be transcribed into...

Emergent Properties of Individual Organisms
ISBN: 9781606509630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book begins by describing what an individual organism is, comparing preconceptions of the individual to non-standard ways of thinking about individuals. Variation in what individuals are is described, using giant fungi, clonal trees and honey bee hives as examples. Individuals are thus shown to be emergent properties. Other emergent properties of individuals are also described. Classic experiments that elucidated the source of emotions in humans and other mammals are described. Emotions arise from the actions of the nervous and endocrine system and often include a variety of signals...

Ecological Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Individual organisms contribute to nutrient cycling in ecological systems, which is shown to be a mechanism of homeostasis at that level. The phosphorus and nitrogen cycles are used to illustrate effects of changes in populations or communities on the cycling of these nutrients. Major disturbances such as deforestation and global climate change disrupt nutrient cycles and ecological system homeostasis. Data are examined to determine effects of deforestation on nutrient cycling. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and global climate change are disrupting ecological systems' homeostasis, and...
