An appreciation of biochemistry is essential to understanding a multitude of environmental factors. Take deforestation and desertfication for example... For a long time it has been thought that mere over-abundance of livestock lead to desertfication. When herds were reduced or removed, desertfication increased!
The explanation for this is apparent to one who understands biochemisty:
Animal feces and urine contribute substantial carbon and nitrogen loads to the soal. Complex organic matter with multiple hydrophylic compounds can hold moisture in the soal and can alter the microbial flora to one that promotes processes favorable to plant root development.
All ecosystems involve interactions in water, soil and air - to understand the ecology of these systems you need to understand the contributing elements.
Conservation ecology typically deals with larger classifications in ecology such as the community, ecosystem or biosphere levels. All of these larger levels are affected by the smaller ones it consists of. The chain of classification starts with the molecular level so any changes on this level could impact the larger levels significantly.
Levels of classification:
Molecular, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biosphere
Biochemistry
Biochemistry is a relatively new field, combining both biology and chemistry.
Chemistry has a few branches that deal with living things such as Biology which is the study of living organisms and others like biochemistry which study the chemical reaction within an organisms.
The ending -ase in biology and biochemistry is indicative of an enzyme. Major enzymes include lipase, lactase, maltase and sucrase.
Analytical Biochemistry was created in 1960.
There are several branches of biology. They are agriculture, anatomy, biochemistry, bio engineering, bioinformatics, biomathematics, biomechanics, biophysics, cell biology, conservation, developmental biology, and medicine. These are just a few.
Biochemistry is a chapter of chemistry; biochemistry is the chemistry of living organisms.
they are a lot of different areas of Biology such as biochemistry, zoology, molecular biology.
the 3 divisions of biology is SOIL,BIOLOGY and BIOCHEMISTRY....
importance biology to man
conservation Biology.
Yes; biochemistry is the study of biological molecules.
The population of Society for Conservation Biology is 14.
Pacific Conservation Biology was created in 1993.
A biochemistry major is not a pure biology discipline. Biochemistry includes chemistry and the various disciplines in chemistry which also support biological theory.
