Bacteria🙁 adj: Bacteria) Single-celled organisms. They live almost everywhere on Earth, from the bottom of the ocean to the interior of other organisms (plants and animals, etc.). Bacteria are one of the three realms of life on Earth.
Biologist: Scientists involved in the study of biological organisms.
cell: (in biology) the smallest structural and functional units of an organism. Usually, it is made up of a watery liquid surrounded by a membrane or walls, if it is too small for auxiliary eyes to see. Depending on its size, animals are made up of thousands to trillions of cells. Most organisms, such as yeast, mold, bacteria, and some algae, are made up of only one cell.
environment: The sum of all that exists around some living organisms and processes, and the state they create. Environment can refer to the weather and ecosystem in which some animals live, or perhaps the temperature and humidity (or placing objects near the item of interest).
fiber:It has a shape similar to thread or filament. (Nutrition) Ingredients of many fibrous plant-based foods. These so-called non-digestible fibers tend to come from cellulose, lignin, and pectin. This is all plant components that resist degradation by the body’s digestive enzymes.
concentration: The point at which the rays (of light or heat) converge with the help of a lens (in physics). (In vision, the verb, “to concentrate”) the action, object taken by the person’s eyes to adapt to light and distance can be clearly seen.
gene(adj. genetic) Segments of DNA that encode or carry the instructions for the production of cellular proteins. The offspring inherits genes from their parents. Genes affect how an organism looks and behaves.
Glass: A hard, brittle material made from silica, a mineral found in sand. Glasses are usually clear and fairly inert (chemically non-reactive). Aquatic organisms called diatoms build their shells.
lens: (In biology) the transparent part of the eye behind the coloured iris that focuses light entering the light absorbing membrane behind the eyeball. (Physics) is a transparent material that can be focused or spread as it passes through parallel rays of light. (Optical Systems) Transparent materials (such as glass) bend incoming light in a way that focuses at a particular point in the universe. Or something that can mimic some of the light bending attributes of a physical lens, such as gravity. Attitudes and perspectives that help focus on a wide range of issues (in social issues).
Microorganisms: Abbreviation for microorganisms. Organisms that are too small to see with auxiliary eyes, such as bacteria, some fungi, and many other organisms such as amoeba. Most are made up of a single cell.
molecule: An electrically neutral group of atoms representing the amount of a possible amount of a compound. Molecules can be made of a single type of atom or of different types. For example, oxygen in the air is made up of two oxygen atoms (o2), but water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2o).
monitor: Test, sample, or watch something, especially regularly or continuously.
Optical fiber: A long chain of glass or other fibers used to transmit light signals (such as telephones, televisions, or other communication signals).
particle: The amount of something.
plastic: Any of a series of materials that can be easily deformed. Or synthetic materials made from polymers (long strings of some building block molecules) that tend to be lightweight, inexpensive and resistant. (adj.) Materials that can be adapted by changing the shape or function.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: An honorable journal of original scientific research publications, launched in 1914. The content of the journal extends to biological, physical and social sciences. Each of the over 3,000 papers published each year is currently approved by members of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as peer reviews.
protein: A compound made from one or more long chains of amino acids. Proteins are an important part of all living things. They form the basis of living cells, muscles and tissues. They also do the work inside the cell. Antibodies, hemoglobin, and enzymes are all examples of proteins. Drugs work by frequently latching into proteins.
range: The complete range or distribution of something. For example, a range of plants and animals is a natural area. (for mathematics or measurements) the range in which the value can change (for example, the highest to lowest temperature). Also, the distance that can be reached or perceived to something.
Solved(Optical System) A term that relates to the degree of clarity or detail that some objects can be seen. (v. Solved)
sea: Ocean (or an area that is part of the ocean). Unlike lakes and streams, seawater – or saltwater is salty.
Seawater: Salt water found in the sea.
sponge: This holds liquids and other materials until they are sucked up and squeezed or removed using other methods. (in biology) a primitive aquatic animal with a soft, porous body.
Synthesis: an adjective that describes what did not occur naturally but was created by people instead. Many synthetic materials have been developed to represent natural materials such as synthetic rubbers, synthetic diamonds, and synthetic hormones. Some even have the same chemical structure and structure as the original.
