Principles of ecology: laws, problems and tasks

As the basic principles of ecology, it is most reasonable to choose such rules and laws that will allow structuring the accumulated scientific knowledge, systematizing and generalizing it. This approach will allow us to develop a procedure for human action aimed at implementing the ecological paradigm. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

How many chromosomes does a cat have? Genetics provides data on various genomes

The genomes of different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. This applies to both animals and plants. This is due not so much to the different complexity of the organization of living organisms as to the size of the chromosomes and the mass of the DNA molecule, which can carry long sections that do not have genes.

The internal environment of the body and its significance

The phrase "internal environment of the body" appeared thanks to the French physiologist Claude Bernard, who lived in the 19th century. In his works, he emphasized that a necessary condition for the life of an organism is to maintain constancy in the internal environment. This provision became the basis for the theory of homeostasis, which was formulated later (in 1929) by the scientist W alter Cannon. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Theory of knowledge and basic approaches to knowability

Theory of knowledge is the doctrine of the process of accumulating new knowledge and how humanity comprehends the world around us and the causal relationships that operate in it. No one doubts that from generation to generation we pass on to our descendants an increasing amount of knowledge. Old truths are supplemented by new discoveries in various fields: science, art, in the sphere of everyday life. Thus, cognition is a mechanism of social communication and continuity.
