Topic: Marine biomolecule


  
  Marine biology at AllExperts
Marine biology is the scientific study of the plants, animals and other organisms that live in the ocean.
Marine biology covers a great deal, from the microscopic, including plankton and phytoplankton, which can be as small as 0.02 micrometers and are both hugely important as the primary producers of the sea, to the huge cetaceans (whales) which reach up to a reported 33 meters (109 feet) in length.
The habitats studied by marine biology include everything from the tiny layers of surface water in which organisms and abiotic items may be trapped in surface tension between the ocean and atmosphere, to the depths of the abyssal trenches, sometimes 10,000 meters or more beneath the surface of the ocean.

Marine biology covers a great deal, from the microscopic plankton, including femtoplankton as small as 0.02 micrometers, and together with phytoplankton, hugely important as the primary producers of the sea, to the huge cetaceans (or whales) which reach up to a reported 33 meters (109 feet) in length.
The marine ecosystem is large, and thus there are quite a number of subfields in marine biology, mostly involving specializations in particular species and biomes, such as reef habitats, tide pool ecology, and geothermal/hydrothermal vents.
Marine Biologists study how the ocean currents and tides affect ocean life, and the effect of the multitudes of other oceanic factors on their growth, distribution and well being.

Marine biology is the study of animal and plant life within saltwater ecosystem s.
Marine biology covers a great deal, from the microscopic plankton (with phytoplankton hugely important as the primary producers of the sea), to the huge cetaceans (or whale).
The study of marine biology obviously reserves a great deal of attention for the physical effects of continual immersion in sea water and the ocean in general, as well as for the ways that various changing oceanic properties affect marine life.

 Marine Colloids  Aquatic colloid
Both geopolymers and biopolymers are amphiphilic with charged and uncharged groups, and contain strong metal-binding ligands, rendering them as metal- and radionuclide sequestering agents.
Therefore, colloids in the ocean can act as vectors of metal and radionuclide removal and of solubilization, depending on the biomolecule, as well as modifiers of metal bioavailability in the delicately balanced marine ecosystems.
In addition, marine colloids are also important in their response to global change, as they enhance the sinking flux of carbon, and thus, play a role in global carbon cycling.

 ScienceDaily: Scientists Decode How Plants Avoid Sunburn
During photoprotection, the consensus school of thought was that carotenoids--the source of the orange pigments in carrots and Vitamin A -- become oxidized, or charged, losing an electron in the process.
To get at the heart of the problem, Fisher had to attempt an experiment that had never been done before for any biomolecule: to control the charge of the biomolecule while measuring its ability to hold a current.
By holding a carotenoid under potential control, Fisher could control whether the biomolecule was in a neutral state or in the charged state (the oxidized state), while simultaneously measuring the electron transport through a single molecule.
