Biology Systematics is one of the main fields of study in biology wherein the historical relationships of groups of biological organisms are studied. Through systematics, scientists are able to identify organisms existing in this world in accordance to their classification, group, phylum, and other hierarchical positions in the biological strata. Apart from studying the relationship of organisms with each other and in their environment, systematics also aims to determine patterns in the organism population where groups of organisms are most likely to thrive and survive. Systematics as scientific methodology in biology is essential to the establishment and maintenance of biodiversity. This is because through systematics, biodiversity existing in the Earth are identified and documented, converting these information into understandable / comprehensible and thereby useful information to other people. It is also a method and study where the life history of the Earth is documented. Systematics also makes it easier for scientists to identify or categorize new species of organism because of the strata that are identified and emerged from the study. Because of these important functions of systematics as a biological study, it contributes to biodiversity conservation because of the information obtained that will help people know what organisms will live and survive in a particular environment or habitat.

SPORANGIUM- hollow unicellular or multicellular structure in which spores are produced and from which they are released.

ARCHEGONIUM- flask-shaped female reproductive organs in mosses, ferns, and most gymnosperms. It corresponds to the pistil of flowering plants and contains eggs that become sporophyte.

ANTHERIDIUM- the male sex organ of spore-producing plants....

There are twenty (20) existing essential amino acids that are used to synthesize or make up proteins. These essential amino acids are the following:
Alanine (Ala) (A)

Arginine (Arg) (R)

Asparagine (Asn) (N)

Aspartic Acid (Asp) (D)

Cysteine (Cys)

Glutamic acid (Glu) (E)

Glutamine (Gln) (Q)

Glycine (Gly) (G)

Histidine (His) (H)

Isoleucine (Ile) (I)

Leucine (Leu) (L)

Lysine (Lys) (K)

Methionine (Met) (M)

Phenylalanine (Phe) (F)

Proline (Pro) (P)

Serine (Ser) (S)

Threonine (Thr) (T)

Tryptophan (Trp) (W)

Tyrosine (Tyr) (Y)

Valine (Val) (V)

Among these 20 amino acids, nine (9) of them are essential to a human's food diet. These amino acids are the following: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phnylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. These essential amino acids are needed in the food diet for organisms to survive. These amino acids re mostly derived from food, such as plant seeds and some amino acids that are weak in plant seeds (such as lysine and tryptophan) are found in animal protein in foods such as meat, eggs, and milk.

Archaeologists are able to reconstruct the food diets of prehistoric peoples primarily through the process of carbon-14 dating. Carbon-14 or radiocarbon dating is…

2005). The rules for deep-sea life are different than those for terrestrial species. Stratification plays an important role in species classification in vent environments. As the chimney grows in height the environment changes. Tarasov and associates believe that deep-sea vents have a longer evolutionary history then shallow vents found closer to the surface. This is an important factor in understanding how hydrothermal vents are connected to early life on planet

Herbert Spencer was born in Derby, England and lived between the years 1820-1903. He was an English biologist, sociologist and philosopher and was considered a coarse social Darwinist. It was Spencer who coined the well-known expression "survival of the fittest." His social philosophy was coterminous with reaction rendering it something more than a 'biological apology for laissez-faire.' (Weinstein, 2012) He was a social evolutionist although he was never crudely social

Evolution -- Great American Interchange The natural Panamanian bridge adjoining early North America with early South America is believed to have occurred 3 -- 4 million years ago. By studying evolutionary changes in animal species in North America, Central America and South America, experts formed the theory of the Great American Interchange, a mutual migration of Northern species to South America and of Southern species to North America. The evolutionary changes
