This document provides an overview of key concepts in biology. It begins by defining life and listing 7 characteristics of living things, including responding to stimuli, maintaining internal conditions, acquiring and using energy, growth, reproduction, heredity through DNA, and evolution. It then discusses the hierarchical levels of biological organization from atoms to ecosystems. Key points include that living things are complex and organized, and cells are the basic unit of life. The document also categorizes life into the three domains of Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, and discusses their prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell structure and unicellular or multicellular nature. Energy acquisition through photosynthesis or consumption is also addressed.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

A color-enhanced electron micrograph of a dividing
bacterium. Bacteria are unicellular and prokaryotic;
most are surrounded by a thick cell wall. Some bacteria
photosynthesize, but most absorb food from their
surroundings.

25. This light micrograph of a Paramecium illustrates the
complexity of these large, normally single, eukaryotic
cells. Some protists photosynthesize, but others ingest
or absorb their food. Many, including Paramecium, are
mobile, moving with cilia or flagella.

26. The kingdom Fungi (domain Eukarya)
An exotic mushroom found in Peru. Most fungi are
multicellular. Fungi generally absorb their food, which is
usually the dead bodies or wastes of plants and animals. The
food is digested by enzymes secreted outside the fungal
body. Most fungi cannot move.
27. The kingdom Plantae (domain Eukarya)
This butterfly weed represents the flowering plants, the
dominant members of the kingdom Plantae. Flowering
plants owe much of their success to mutually beneficial
relationships with animals, such as these pearl crescent
butterflies, in which the flower provides food and the
insect carries pollen from flower to flower, fertilizing
them. Plants are multicellular, nonmotile eukaryotes that
acquire nutrients by photosynthesis.
28. The kingdom Animalia (domain Eukarya)
A wrasse rests on a soft coral. Animals are multicellular;
animal bodies consist of a wide assortment of tissues and
organs composed of specialized cell types. Most animals can
move and respond rapidly to stimuli. The coral is a member
of the largest group of animals: the invertebrates, which lack
a backbone. This group also includes insects and mollusks.
The wrasse is a vertebrate; like humans, it has a backbone.

Spontaneous generation of maggots
from meat does not occur; flies are
probably the source of maggots.
Flies swarm around meat left in the open;
maggots appear on meat.
Place meat
in each jar.
Obtain identical pieces of
meat and two identical jars.
Flies swarm around
and maggots appear.
Leave jar
uncovered.
Leave exposed
for several days.
Flies kept from meat;
no maggots appear.
Cover jar
with gauze.
Leave covered
for several days.
Flies produce the maggots; keeping flies away
from meat will prevent the appearance of maggots.
