The most famous such organism is Amoeba proteus ; the name amoeba is variously used to describe its close relatives, other organisms similar to it, or the amoeboids in general.

William Lycan, for example, argued in his book Consciousness and Experience that at least eight clearly distinct types of consciousness can be identified ( organism consciousness ; control consciousness ; consciousness of ; state / event consciousness ; reportability ; introspective consciousness ; subjective consciousness ; self-consciousness )— and that even this list omits several more obscure forms.

* Clone — In biology and agriculture, any organism whose genetic information is identical to that of a parent organism from which it was created ; natural reproductive processes producing clones include parthenogenesis and apomixis

; Acidophile: An organism with optimal growth at pH levels of 3 or below

; Alkaliphile: An organism with optimal growth at pH levels of 9 or above

; Anaerobe: An organism that does not require oxygen for growth such as Spinoloricus Cinzia.

; Cryptoendolith: An organism that lives in microscopic spaces within rocks, such as pores between aggregate grains ; these may also be called Endolith, a term that also includes organisms populating fissures, aquifers, and faults filled with groundwater in the deep subsurface.

; Halophile: An organism requiring at least 0. 2M concentrations of salt ( NaCl ) for growth

; Hyperthermophile: An organism that can thrive at temperatures between 80 – 122 ° C, such as those found in hydrothermal systems

; Hypolith: An organism that lives underneath rocks in cold deserts

; Oligotroph: An organism capable of growth in nutritionally limited environments

; Osmophile: An organism capable of growth in environments with a high sugar concentration

; Piezophile: An organism that lives optimally at high hydrostatic pressure ; common in the deep terrestrial subsurface, as well as in oceanic trenches

; Polyextremophile: An organism that qualifies as an extremophile under more than one category

Business loans generally are repayable in regular installments -- usually monthly, including interest at the rate of 5-1/2 percent per annum on the unpaid balance -- and have a maximum maturity of 10 years ; ;

He is usually conscious of the social pressures at home and outside ; ;

In I know one thing dominant stress will usually be on the complement one thing ; ;

Instead of linking the nine numbers of this diagram with the traditional Nine Provinces, as was usually done, this equated the odd, Yang numbers with mountains ( firm and resistant, hence Yang ) and the even numbers with rivers ( sinuous and yielding, hence Yin ) ; ;

This need not imply that on average 50 % or more of altruistic acts were beneficial for the altruist in the ancestral environment ; if the benefits from helping the right person were very high it would be beneficial to err on the side of caution and usually be altruistic even if in most cases there were no benefits.

Motivation usually makes the difference between " good " and " bad ," but motivation also includes the aspect of ignorance ; so a well-intended action from an ignorant mind can easily be " bad " in that it creates unpleasant results for the " actor.

The number of neutrons, N, is known as the neutron number of the atom ; thus, A = Z + N. Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass ( and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes ), and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A.

The aardvark is not closely related to the pig ; rather, it is the sole recent representative of the obscure mammalian order Tubulidentata, in which it is usually considered to form one variable species of the genus Orycteropus, the sole surviving genus in the family Orycteropodidae.

An adventure is defined as an exciting or unusual experience ; it may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome.

Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts ; however, like the decorative arts, it creates objects where the practical considerations of use are essential — in a way that they are usually not for a painting, for example.

Members of the family are usually perennial herbs with sword-shaped unifacial leaves ; the inflorescence is a spike or panicle of solitary flowers, or forms a monochasial cyme or rhipidium ( meaning that the successive stems of the flowers follow a zig-zag path in the same plane ); and the flower has only three stamens, each opposite to an outer tepal.

The stamens are usually found around the style, either aggregated densely or fused into a tube, probably an adaptation in association with the plunger ( brush ; or secondary ) pollination that is common among the families of the order, wherein pollen is collected and stored on the length of the pistil.

* an attestation clause, usually a jurat, at the end certifying the affiant made oath and the date ; and

Therefore the perfect of these verbs would be ich bin gesessen, ich bin gelegen and ich bin geschlafen respectively ( note: ich bin geschlafen is a very rare form, usually you will hear ich habe geschlafen ; but ich bin eingeschlafen fell asleep is quite normal ).

Land which is unsuitable for arable farming usually has at least one of the following deficiencies: no source of fresh water ; too hot ( desert ); too cold ( Arctic ); too rocky ; too mountainous ; too salty ; too rainy ; too snowy ; too polluted ; or too nutrient poor.

Another classification system is based on biological activity ; in this classification, antibacterials are divided into two broad groups according to their biological effect on microorganisms: bactericidal agents kill bacteria, and bacteriostatic agents slow down or stall bacterial growth.

Its function is to control the expulsion of feces, unwanted semi-solid matter produced during digestion, which, depending on the type of animal, may be one or more of: matter which the animal cannot digest, such as bones ; food material after all the nutrients have been extracted, for example cellulose or lignin ; ingested matter which would be toxic if it remained in the digestive tract ; and dead or excess gut bacteria and other endosymbionts.

It is believed that the mechanisms are multifaceted and include the following: 1 ) Potassium or glutamate leakage through the outer membrane of bacteria ; 2 ) Osmotic balance disturbances ; 3 ) Binding to proteins that do not require or utilize copper ; 4 ) Oxidative stress by hydrogen peroxide generation.

Bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria ; bacteriostatic antibiotics slow their growth or reproduction.

Organisms can be classified as unicellular ( consisting of a single cell ; including most bacteria ) or multicellular ( including plants and animals ).

Some examples are in improving crop technology ( not a medical application per se ; see BioSystems Engineering ), the manufacture of synthetic human insulin through the use of modified bacteria, the manufacture of erythropoietin in hamster ovary cells, and the production of new types of experimental mice such as the oncomouse ( cancer mouse ) for research.

The mechanism which eukaryotic cells employ is quite different from that in bacteria ; however, sensing of chemical gradients is still a crucial step in the process.

An infection that does not and will not produce clinically evident impairment of normal functioning, such as the presence of the normal bacteria and yeasts in the gut, is not considered a disease ; by contrast, an infection that is asymptomatic during its incubation period, but expected to produce symptoms later, is usually considered a disease.

The Inoviridae and Microviridae infect bacteria ; the Anelloviridae and Circoviridae infect animals ( mammals and birds respectively ); and the Geminiviridae and Nanoviridae infect plants.

This was first done for lysozyme, an enzyme found in tears, saliva and egg whites that digests the coating of some bacteria ; the structure was solved by a group led by David Chilton Phillips and published in 1965.

Many instances of endosymbiosis are obligate ; that is, either the endosymbiont or the host cannot survive without the other, such as the gutless marine worms of the genus Riftia, which get nutrition from their endosymbiotic bacteria.

However, this view neglects the fact that i ) both modern cyanobacteria and alpha-proteobacteria are Gram negative bacteria, which are surrounded by double membranes ; ii ) the outer membranes of the endosymbiotic organelles ( chloroplasts and mitochondria ) are very similar to those of these bacteria in their lipid and protein compositions.

In some cases, the bacteria are transmitted in the egg, as in Buchnera ; in others like Wigglesworthia, they are transmitted via milk to the developing insect embryo.

Preservative food additives can be antimicrobial ; which inhibit the growth of bacteria or fungi, including mold, or antioxidant ; such as oxygen absorbers, which inhibit the oxidation of food constituents.

; Preservatives: Preservatives prevent or inhibit spoilage of food due to fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms.

It is estimated that half of the protein within human beings is made of nitrogen that was originally fixed by this process ; the remainder was produced by nitrogen fixing bacteria and archaea.

The rapid growth of these bacteria was noted by Fredeking: " Normally it takes about three days for a sample of P. multocida to cover a petri dish ; ours took eight hours.
