Temperature
(Science: chemistry) temperature is proportional to the average random kinetic energy of ideal gases.
The degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment (corresponding to its molecular activity).The somatic sensation of cold or heat.The degree of hotness or coldness in a given environment, usually measured in fahrenheit (F), celsius (C) or Kelvin’s (K).
temperature dictates what organisms can survive in different environments.
This tutorial elucidates body temperature regulation. Know the details here to learn how the body sets the body temperature within the homeostatic range...
The human body is capable of regulating growth and energy balance through various feedback mechanisms. Get to know the events of absorptive and post-absorptive states. This tutorial also describes the endocrine and neural control of compounds such as insulin and glucagon. It also deals with the regulation of growth, heat loss, and heat gain. ..
Lentic or still water communities can vary greatly in appearance -- from a small temporary puddle to a large lake. The size and depth of a still body of water are major factors in determining the characteristics of that ecosystem. Learn in this elaborate tutorial how life thrives in and influenced by a still-water habitat...
This tutorial deals with the abiotic factors of the freshwater environment that determine what sort of life would be suited to living and adapting to the conditions of the ecosystem...
Plants are responsible for incredible feats of molecular transformation. Plant processes, such as photosynthesis, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, carbon fixing reactions, respiration, are presented in this tutorial...
A still body of water may be disturbed by a variety of factors. One of them is wind. In fact, it is considered as the prime factor responsible for water disturbance. Such disturbance can affect the distribution of organisms in the habitat. This tutorial looks at how these abiotic factors affect the way in which organisms operate in the freshwater ecosystem...
