Taxonomic Classification: From Domain to Species
In biology, we categorize life by how similar organisms are with each other. Like a family tree, we find relationships by their classification of life.
DNA, Cells and Organisms
What Are the 3 Domains of Life?
We categorize life into 3 domains of life: eukarya, archaea and bacteria. Domains classify life in the most general way such as the presence of a nucleus.
Cellular Respiration Steps: Energy Conversion in the Body
The single-most important biochemical reaction human beings need is cellular respiration. Our cells require oxygen to break down the food and provide energy.
We Are Made of Stardust from Old Supernovas
Supernovas are the dying stage of a star when the star explodes. Heavier elements like copper and zinc get flung out into space which we find in our bodies.
Human Cells vs Bacteria: Microbiota in Your Body
By 10 to 1, colonies of bacteria outnumber human cells. We rely on bacteria because they break down sugars, help digest food and protect against infections.
DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid: The Origin of Your Genes
Your identity is decided by 4 letters of DNA (A, T, G & C). And there’s so much Deoxyribonucleic Acid in your body that it stretches all the way to the moon.
