Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.
An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:
There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.
Answer:
Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlap, they both try to use the same resource and the resource is in short supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.
Answer:
El cuadro no está presente pero las diferencias principales entre células eucariotas y procariotas son:
Eucariotas:
Tienen núcleo
Tienen organelas
Tienen Vacuolas
Tienen Citoesqueleto
Tienen Cloroplastos
El ADN está asociado a proteínas
El ADN es lineal
Presentan mitocondrias
Presentan un sistema de endomembranas
Procariotas:
No tienen núcleo
No tienen vacuolas
No tienen cloroplastos
No tienen organelas
El ADN no está asociado a proteínas
El ADN es circular
Presenta mesosomas
Explanation:
Las células procariotas son más primitivas que las eucariotas, por ende, sus estructuras son más simples. Las células procariotas están en organismos unicelulares tales como las bacterias, mientras que las células eucariotas están en organismos unicelulares y pluricelulares como en plantas, animales, u hongos. La diferencia más notoria entre ambos tipos de células es la ausencia de núcleo en las procariotas haciendo que el ADN está disperso en el citoplasma mientras que en las células eucariotas, el ADN está dentro del núcleo celular.
Answer:
A fault is found that cuts through lower rock layers but not those above it. What can most likely be concluded? The fault is the same age as the layers it cuts through, and the same age as the layers above it.
