Ecology Question

Submitted by rdigregorio on Thu, 02/14/2019 - 12:17

The studying of ecology: the ways in which different organisms interact with each other and their environments—could prove itself to be very useful in my field of study because many of our medicines have been derived from other organisms directly or about what we’ve learned in these organisms’ behavioral patterns. For example, one of the most recent studies provides evidence that humans may be able to slow down the body’s aging process by essentially reconstructing and imitating the telomerase cells found in lobsters. These cells allow the lobster to be considered biologically immortal as they can live for many years if they avoid being eaten. Without our ability to study these animals’ interactions in their communities we would have never came across such interesting study.
