Biology Questions

Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion.

Phosphorescence is a phenomenon associated with an algal division called euglenophytes. 

Phosphorescence is a phenomenon when an object is capable of releasing photons of light at a longer wavelength in response to absorbing light of a shorter wavelength. The object releasing the light only releases the light after some time has passed since it absorbed the light of a short wavelength.

Euglenophytes are single-celled plant-like protists that have no cell wall.

Spongy, porous bone tissue is also called cancellous bone.

Cancellous bone is found in bones that aren't generally under significant stress like in the shoulder blades, ribs, parts of the skull, and at the ends of long bones.

Mutations can disrupt the cell cycle, and can cause certain diseases and conditions.

Genes are units of heredity.

Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are multicellular.

Kelp, or 'seaweed,' is a large multicellular protist that provides food, shelter, and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems.

The process that occurs inside the chloroplasts is photosynthesis. The light from the sun is obserbed and combining with water and CO2, plants prepare food for the plants.
