In biology, an organism is any living system (such as animal, plant, fungus, or micro-organism). In at least some form, all organisms are capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole. An organism may either be unicellular (single-celled) or be composed of, as in humans, many billions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. The term multicellular (many-celled) describes any organism made up of more than one cell. The term "organism" (Greek ???a??sµ?? - organismos, from Ancient Greek ???a??? - organon "organ, instrument, tool") first appeared in the English language in 1701 and took on its current definition by 1834 (Oxford English Dictionary). More recently a clade, Neomura, has been proposed, which groups together the Archaea and Eukarya. Neomura is thought to have evolved from Bacteria, more specifically from Actinobacteria.[2] The word "organism" may broadly be defined as an assembly of molecules that function as a more or less stable whole and has the properties of life. However, many sources propose definitions that exclude viruses and theoretically-possible man-made non-organic life forms.[3] Viruses are dependent on the biochemical machinery of a host cell for reproduction.

4. Tetragametic chimerism
October 29, 2009
Tetragametic chimerism is a condition which occurs through the fertilization of two ova by two sperm, followed by the fusion of the zygotes and the development of an organism with intermingled cell lines. This phenomenon happens at a very early stage of development, often during the blastocyst phase. A tetragametic chimera is named such because it is formed from four gametes: two eggs and two sperm. For instance, a chimera can be formed from the merger of two nonidentical twins in a very early (zygote or blastocyst) phase. As such, they can be male, female, or hermaphroditic.

8. Setting up a Fermenter for Fermentation
October 22, 2009
Fermentation is basically the making of alcohol which is done by mixing sugar, yeast and water. Yeast is a living organism and if the water is kept at the correct temperature the yeast cells will go to work on the sugar and react in a way that creates a combination of fifty /fifty alchol and carbon dioxidedioxide (which normally gets shaken out of the solution during the fermentation process). Alcohol strength can be varied by the various types of yeast so you really do have complete control over the finished product.

17. Transitional Fossils
September 30, 2009
Transitional fossils, or the supposed lack thereof, has been used for many years by anti-evolutionists to argue against evolution. Here, I will explain what a transitional fossil is, and why it is not valid as an argument against evolution.
A transitional fossil shows the evolutionary development from one species to another. For example, if organism 1 existed 70 million years ago, and organism 2 shows up in the fossil record 5 million years later, then theoretically there should be intermediate species in this 5 million year gap, which shows gradual progression from one species to another. ...

23. Do Contemporary Universities Suffer From A Type Of Cancer
September 24, 2009
Biologists and medical practitioners have proven through extensive scientific research and testing that every living organism renews its cells as it gradually matures. If we accept Proust's metaphor that "a nation is a huge organized accumulation of individuals," then when cultural norms change so does the nation as a whole entity. Based on this assumption, a nation, a country, or generally any type of society, can be characterized by its critics as "sick" if its constituent cells change their previous status with unknown consequences. Under this realm, the crisis contemporary universities hav... (read more)
