1. Air quality – The higher the population in a city the higher the chances of reduced air quality due to increase per capita emissions.

2. Water usage – The higher the population density in a city, the harder it is to supply adequate clean water to everybody and the water quality may begin to drop

3. Waste management- Pollution begins to become a problem when the population in a city goes beyond its carrying capacity.

4. Land use – Urban sprawl becomes a problem when a high proportion of the city’s population is squeezed in a small portions of land

Nadusha1986 [10]

Griffith's experiment worked with two types of pneumococcal bacteria (a rough type and a smooth type) and identified that a "transforming principle"  could transform them from one type to another.

At first, bacteriologists suspected the transforming factor was a protein. The "transforming principle" could be precipitated with alcohol, which showed that it was not a carbohydrate. But Avery and McCarty observed that proteases (enzymes that degrade proteins) did not destroy the transforming principle. Neither did lipases (enzymes that digest lipids). Later they found that the transforming substance was made of nucleic acids but ribonuclease (which digests RNA) did not inactivate the substance. By this method, they were able to obtain small amounts of highly purified transforming principle, which they could then analyze through other tests to determine its identity, which corresponded to DNA.

What’s the function of cellular respiration
mamaluj [8]
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function. If living things could not get the energy they need out of food, it would be absolutely worthless. All living things would eventually die, no matter the quality and amount of food.

How does phase contrast microscopy help scientists to visualize difficult specimens?
Oksanka [162]
The phase contrast microscope uses out-of-phase and in-phase light rays that produce contrast areas allowing scientists to detect even a minute number of protein molecules and focus on the minute internal structures of a particle.
