Examples of chemical diversity in the following topics:
-
- Genetic diversity, ecosystem diversity, and human-derived diversity are measures of biodiversity that currently define life on earth.
- Genetic diversity is one of those alternate concepts.
- Genetic diversity can be measured as chemical diversity in that different species produce a variety of chemicals in their cells, both the proteins as well as the products and by-products of metabolism.
- This chemical diversity has potential benefit for humans as a source of pharmaceuticals, so it provides one way to measure diversity that is important to human health and welfare.
- Humans have generated diversity in domestic animals, plants, and fungi.
-
- Chemical manufacturing is a subset of chemical industry involved in the conversion of raw materials into value-added products.
- Chemicals are nearly a $3 trillion global enterprise, and the EU and U.S. chemical companies are the world's largest producers.
- Basic chemicals, or "commodity chemicals" are a broad chemical category including polymers, bulk petrochemicals and intermediates, other derivatives and basic industrials, inorganic chemicals, and fertilizers.
- Specialty chemicals are a category of relatively high valued, rapidly growing chemicals with diverse end product markets.
- Specialty Chemicals are sometimes referred to as "fine chemicals. "
-
- It contains neurotransmitters and other organelles needed to synthesize proteins and chemicals.
-
- Carbon has very diverse physical and chemical properties due to the nature of its bonding.
- Carbon is the chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6 (contains 6 protons in its nucleus).
- As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds.
- This property allows carbon to form an almost infinite number of compounds; in fact, there are more known carbon-containing compounds than all the compounds of the other chemical elements combined, except those of hydrogen (because almost all organic compounds contain hydrogen as well).
-
- Organisms can respond to diverse stimuli.
- In order to function properly, cells need to have appropriate conditions such as proper temperature, pH, and appropriate concentration of diverse chemicals.
- Some organisms capture energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy in food; others use chemical energy in molecules they take in as food .
- This process, change over time, is called evolution, and it is one of the processes that explain the diverse species seen in biology.
- The California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) uses chemical energy derived from food to power flight.
-
- Microbes are ubiquitous on Earth and their diversity and abundance are determined by the biogeographical habitat they occupy.
- Their diversity enables them to thrive in extremely cold or extremely hot environments .
- Their diversity also makes them tolerant of many other conditions, such as limited water availability, high salt content, and low oxygen levels.
- They rely on specific physical and chemical factors such as measuring temperature, pH, and salinity within a certain geography to formulate a comparison among microbial communities and the environment different species can tolerate.
- Summarize how microbial diversity contributes to microbial occupation of diverse geographical niches.
-
- Pseudopeptidoglycan differs in chemical structure from bacterial peptidoglycan, but resembles eubacterial peptidoglycan in morphology, function, and physical structure.
- There are many diverse strains of methanogens.
- Methanosarcina acetivorans is a versatile methane producing microbe which is found in such diverse environments as oil wells, trash dumps, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and oxygen-depleted sediments beneath kelp beds.
-
- Management may encounter significant challenges in incorporating diverse perspectives in group settings, but managing this diversity in the workplace is essential to success.
- A team or organization's diversity can include diversity across religion, sex, age, and race, but can also include diversity across work skills or personality types.
- Having a separate diversity statement (similar to a mission statement) is also a good way to underline how an organization is committed to diversity.
- Managers must also actively work to achieve diversity in work groups, arranging assignments strategically to capture the inherent value of diversity.
- From the diversity-management perspective, a diversity scorecard, which identifies both how diversity interacts with other long-term objectives and how observation/feedback could be implemented to assess it, is of high value to managers looking to improve their diversity management skills.
