Off the Northeast coast of Australia, a line of surf rises above the pacific ocean. Beneath the water’s surface, creating breaking waves, is the most magical marine environment on earth, the Great Barrier Reef. It is a place that is unique and considered one of the world’s seven wonders. The GBR stretches for thousands of miles and is considered the largest living structure on the planet. The reef is made up of three thousand different reefs that allows for the GBR to host the most life in this…

In “Plant Pigment,” by Shirley Raps and Jeffrey Harborne, two types of plant pigments are discussed: photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic pigments. Photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing light and transferring energy during photosynthesis. Among this group of pigments are chlorophylls, phycobilins, carotenoids, and reaction center pigments which causes plants’ green, blue, yellow and orange colors, respectively. Nonphotosynthetic pigments are used to attract insects for…

Modern Climate Change and Global Warming Affect on Society The Earth is 4.6 Billion years old, and over this course of time, there have been great changes in Earth’s geology that we as humans have never been able to witness due to our short life span on the geologic time scale. It is not until the past couple of decades where we are seeing geologic changes in our lifetime due to human made climate change. Fossil fuels such as gas and coal are used as sources of energy, but they have increased…

develops Pi’s personal journey as he fights with his own cruelty and finds the strength to survive the Pacific.4. The algae island:“By the time morning came, my grim decision was taken. I preferred to set off and perish in search of my own kind than to live a lonely half-life of physical comfort and spiritual death on this murderous island.” (Martel 282-283)The carnivorous algae island, with its fruit that bear teeth, is a symbol for Pi’s loss on innocence. Like the Garden of Eden, the island…

organism in an environment” (43). Phytoplankton, Zooplankton and Benthos are all living or biotic organisms this study examined in the starch factory stream. Phytoplankton are, according to Raven, Berg and Hassenzahl, “free-floating photosynthetic algae and cyanobacteria that form the base of most aquatic food webs” (124). Phytoplankton is green when examined in a microscope while zooplankton is not. Zooplankton are defined as “nonphotosynthetic organism that include protozoa (animal-like…

phosphorus (P), the second would only have N, and the third would only have P; all three groups can be tested in order between April and mid-June where the graph shows the lake had some of the highest biomass of Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, and Green algae. The independent variables would be the N and P in each experimental group and the amount added in each setting; other factors like light, temperature, predation, and competition will vary from month to month. The dependent variable would the…

each morning! I would also recommend having a Koban, Terrazole, Subdue Maxx, Segway, Insignia and Stellar on shelf for high-pressure periods. Research across the country has also shown suppression/control of anthracnose, snow mold, dollar spot, and algae. Phosphites are labeled for the suppression of anthracnose and do quite well in a rotation and combination with Daconil, Velista, Exemplar, and Trinity. Research out of the UK (Dempsey et al) also found that phosphites alone and in…

below:- (a) Environmental Benefit. As compared to fossil fuel, the usage of biofuel is environmental friendly. Biofuel is renewable source of energy as it is derived from crops, plants which can be harvested annually or on monthly basis (in case of Algae) and is relatively cheap too. Moreover, it is also evident that it contributes less towards green house emissions than fossil fuel in their production and use. (b) Soil Contamination. Biofuel is based on biological molecule which is degradable…

Heterotrophs are sectioned off into three different categories based on their intake of food. Heterotrophs are organisms that use organic compounds for energy and carbon. Herbivores, being animals that eat plants are; algae-eating snails, sapsucking insects, and vertebrates such as cows, horses, rabbits, and sparrows. Carnivores, animals who eat other animals; crabs, squid, many insects, cats, eagles, trout, and frogs. Omnivores, animals who eat both plants and other animals are; humans, pigs,…

The Effect of pH Level on the Amount of Brine Shrimp Hatched By: Maggie Lazaroski and Paloma Diaz Period 1, January 8 2014 Introduction Paragraph In this experiment, we will be using brine shrimp to measure the effects of pH on the survival rate of invertebrate creatures. We will use white vinegar and baking soda to alter the level of pH, the white vinegar to make the pH level higher and the baking soda to make the pH lower. We will be feeding the shrimp yeast, which is completely…
