Bio accumulation of DDT lead to bird eggs with weak shells and non viable offspring. The lethal effects of DDT on birds was first noted in 1950; scientists discovered that earthworm was accumulating the DDT pesticide and that the robins that were preying on the earthworms were been poisoned. Further research revealed that the chemical cause thinning of the egg shell and production of non viable offspring. The chemical has since been banned in USA.

The ingestion of which nutrient type results in the greatest food-induced thermogenesis?
monitta
Proteins

Proteins is the most thermogenic of all nutrients and macromolecules we eat. Thermogenesis is the generation of due to digestion and metabolism of food.  Studies shows that  proteins tend to be more thermogenic that carbohydrates and fats. This means that the calorie given of by proteins is converted and released as heat and less available for storage. This means that the stored energy formed from protein much of it is released as heat and unlike other macromolecules few of it is converted to a energy that can be stored.

How does the cell theory describe the levels of organization of living organisms ???
Burka [1]
<span>It took over 200 years for the "cell theory" to be formalized and accepted. Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were early microscopist's.... but at the time the nature of matter, the belief in spontaneous generation, and the idea there were little worlds within little worlds ad infinitinum was popular. The discovery of the periodic table and establishment that atoms were real, the demolishing of spontaneous generation, all happened at the time that Schwann and Schleiden (and others) were working with better microscopes, better ideas about the material world, and better observations...... thus the cell theory.
