Algae

Daphnia is also used to clean fish tanks because they eat the algae. Daphnia is also used in scientific experimentation because of their see through body and they are easy to maintain in a laboratory. The Daphnia live near the algae rich area of a river. Daphnia is not an endangered species and are found throughout the world. The joint Genome institute states that Daphnia typically feeds on Algae and Bacteria, they are also an indicator species to environmental change. They occupy…

The Manitoba Government also acknowledged the issue with Lake Winnipeg and has begun implementing a three hundred and twenty million dollar plan over the next 5 years. The objective of the plan is to reduce and ultimately eliminate the blue green algae poisoning of Lake Winnipeg. The plan will focus on addressing three main areas. The first deals with drainage issues and what people are draining into the waters. The second area of focus is better management of the Wetlands in order to prevent…

Mexico has been caused by our population polluting the waters with too many nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen. This does not harm the water content at low quantities, as these nutrients feed the growth of blue-green algae. Too many of these nutrients, the blue-green algae will…

The Red Tide Kyle X. Singleton 10/11/2015 GEOS101 Jennifer Lundberg From being a small child in Chicago, to now being an adult, I have traveled to quite a few different places and now even live on a different coast. During these travels, I’ve seen a number of different waters in the places I’ve lived and even more with me being in the Navy. I honestly thought that Lake Michigan was pretty clean growing up with the exception of the seaweed and litter floating around. While at…

filled with algae due to eutrophication. By 1983, 40% of the total length of the Taihu river was polluted, and by 1996, the figure had risen to 86%, which was the highest in the Chinese water system. (Liang, G., 2012; He, H., 2012) This is because from the year 1993, the Taihu lake had suffered eutrophication. The fertilizers from the nearby farms were not absorbed by the crops and were washed into the lake by rainwater. The nitrates and phosphates in the fertilizers enhanced the growth of algae…

Identifying the Photosynthetic Pigments Introduction: This experiment was mostly introduced as identifying the different photosynthetic pigments between the Spinach and Blue-green algae. These two pigments were well used in this experiment and simply finding the appearances. Our group was to experiment both these pigments by the amount of bands there was to use, the distance between one band to another, the band color, the distance pigment migrated from the distance solvent front migrated,…

into near-by creeks. The problem with that is, the fertilizers, which contain large amounts of nitrates and phosphates, causing a substantial growth of algae, that is a problem because they grew and make the amount of oxygen in the water considerably less. Eventually the algae will die, and when they die, the bacteria that decomposes the algae takes up all of…

Out of many early photographic processes, I select the Anna Atkins Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, 1843 Cyanotype. I select this process because the color of this picture is very different to the others in the lecture making this photography stand out and get my attention. While I was doing my researches, I found out that the process to make this picture is not complicated, does not require a lot of materials, and needs a negative image which reminds me of the class activity…
