But even if you aren't one of those people and you think you have a pretty good understanding of evolution, chances are you still believe some things about it that aren't entirely right, things like, "Evolution is organisms adapting to their environment."
In fact, individual organisms don't evolve at all.
All that happens is that random genetic mutations cause the organisms carrying them to behave or develop in different ways.
Life in the Arctic includes organisms living in the ice, zooplankton and phytoplankton, fish and marine mammals, birds, land animals, plants, and human societies.
Even the most extreme animals fight for survival, and only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals, bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista.
By cleverly flexing their paddle to create more drag on the power stroke than on the recovery stroke, single-celled organisms like paramecia manage to inch their way through the crowd of water molecules.
Getting rid of the mosquito removes a food source for lots of organisms, like frogs and fish and birds.
You might say it comes from plants, animals, or even fungi, but you'd probably rather not think about the rotting organisms and poop that feed those plants, animals, and fungi.
What happens to plants also happens to all other organisms up the food chain: some are eaten alive, but most are eaten only when they're dead and rotting.
All detritus is ultimately consumed by microbes and other scavengers, so it actually forms the base of the brown food chain that supports many other organisms, including us.
Glucose is the best source of energy for nearly all organisms on Earth.
We humans aren't the only bilaterally symmetric organisms.
Other organisms have different symmetries, ones that only become apparent when you rotate the organism around its center point.

It looks like these aliens will have to go hungry, or find some less logical organisms to abduct.
But some organisms, like pigs, don't have those embryonic cilia and still have asymmetric internal organs.
This asymmetry at the molecular level is reflected in asymmetric cells, asymmetric embryos, and finally asymmetric organisms.
If we wanted to use them to spread actual humans throughout the galaxy, we would need yet another technological leap - the ability to artificially grow biological organisms and bodies using raw elements and genetic information.
Most organisms need water to survive.
Bacteria, single-celled organisms called archaea, plants, and even other animals can all survive drying up.
But it's also made the sloths themselves a great habitat for other organisms, including algae, which provides a little extra camouflage, and maybe even a snack.
They're known on Earth as GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, and we rely on them to feed all the mouths of human civilization.
One of the best ways to ensure that we will have the food supplies and the air that we need is to bring with us organisms that have been engineered to adapt to new and harsh environments.
In essence, using engineered organisms to help us terraform a planet both in the short and long term.
These organisms can then also be engineered to make medicine or fuel.
