actual organism or parts of organism protected from decay

Skeletal system or the skeleton forms the bony framework of the body providing support and protection for some of the soft organs, particularly in the skull and pelvis; acting as levers in movements and providing surfaces for the attachment of the skeletal muscles. In cert..

Saprotrophs are decomposers and liberate energy for their own use by breaking down complex organic matter from the dead bodies of other organisms. At the same time this process releases vital chemical elements into the soil which are absorbed by autotrophs. Thus saprotrophs ..

Carbon Dioxide - Occurrence - Jan Baptista van Helmont discovered the presence of carbon dioxide in the year 1630. Although the percentage of carbon dioxide in air is very small, it plays a vital role in nature. All the food that is produced on the earth is by photosynthesis, which employs carbon d..

1. It is mainly used for the manufacture of UF 6 for nuclear power generation. 2. It is also used for the preparation of many fluorinating agents. The important organic chemicals derived from HF are the chlorofluorocarbons and polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon). Chlorofluorocarbons known as..

In unicellular organisms a single cell carries out all the life processes as the cell itself is the organism. In advanced forms like the few-celled algae, protozoa, sponges, etc., the size of the organism ensures that all the cells are not very far from each other. The..

The cells of many protists are surrounded by a filamentous layer of oligosaccharides. This forms the cell coat. It is in fact a part of the cell membrane. In many cases the cell coat becomes deposited with salts of calcium and silica. The cell coat mainly provides protection to ..

1) Some amount of phosphorus is returned to earth in the form of birds excreta - Guano deposits (excreta of marine birds) and dead fish (around 60,000 tonnes which is less than 0.5% of phosphorus discharged from rivers). 2) Death and decay of organisms and decomposition of ..

Lateral view of rat The trunk is elongated antero-posteriorly to enclose all the visceral organs. Externally it bears a pair of fore limbs and pair of hind limbs, of the same size. The limbs are typically pentadactyl with five digits each. Digits end in claws. The sole of fore limbs and h..

It comprises the living part of the environment, which includes the association of a number of interrelated populations belonging to different species in a common environment. The populations are that of animal community, plant community and microbial community. Biotic community is disti..
