estimated to be less than 100 individuals remaining. The sloth has pale grey-brown fur and a tan-colored face with a distinctive dark band around the eyes. On the sloths fur you’ll see a greenish tint which is actually a unique species of symbiotic algae, which helps them camouflage. Little information is know about the life span of the pygmy three-toed sloth, but most species of sloths live 30 to 40 years in captivity. The word “sloth" came from the Greek and Latin words for “carelessness" and…

of a population along a specific path. In natural selection we produce more offspring to survive. We have to struggle to keep existing and adapt to new surroundings. Reproduction is a key part in our environment. Trees, animals, plants, protists, algae, and fungi all reproduce in some form. Some even produce the bad to help the good produce more. Each have a characteristic that is different. Evolution today is still today. New species have evolved; old ones have died to make room for the new.…

Ensure that ammonia, nitrate and chlorine levels remain zero. Tips Select your décor in a way that the shrimps feel comfortable. It is essential to check the filter at least twice a week. Every week you should scrub the aquarium to remove algae. You also need to bring a 10 to 15 percent change in the water every…

The Animal Book Chapter 1: Animal characteristics Chapter 2: Body Parts Body plans refer to similarities in development, structure, and function among members of a particular group (phylum). At some point, members of that group share the same body plan during their development process. Which could be a possible explanation for shared structural plans that have been observed in the anatomy and embryology. Timing, pattern, and scale of development determine the organism's shape, and closely…

As the amount of anthropogenic CO2 has been rising in the atmosphere, this has meant a natural rise in the levels of CO2 in the oceans. This rise can have a large effect on the natural biogeochemical cycles of the oceans. The largest effect will be seen through the acidification of the oceans. When CO2 is dissolved in seawater it increases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the ocean, which then decreases the overall pH, causing acidification. This acidification can have a detrimental effect…

This experiment focused on the subject of Ecology which is the study of Organisms. This studies the relationship an organism has with other organisms and the relationship the organism has with their surrounding environment (Ecology, 2015). The creeks were a perfect example of an ecosystem in our study because they had different Abiotic and Biotic factors that we could look at to support our hypothesis and prediction. An ecosystem is an environment where abiotic (nonliving) and biotic (living)…

The element is cycled naturally by living organisms via the nitrogen cycle, one of the most important natural processes to sustain living organisms. Nitrogen is taken up by plants and algae in the form of ammonia and used to build nitrogenous bases, an important part of DNA, RNA, and all amino acids. Animals obtain their nitrogen by consuming other living things. They digest the proteins and DNA and reform them for their own use. Animal…

and take refuge underground in the dry times – and non-burrowing frogs – frogs that are able to survive under rocks, bark or leaves during floods. Varieties of plant species also make home to the Basin, including many types of wildflowers and green algae and…

Characteristics can classify organisms into 5 key groups called the 5 kingdoms: - Protoctista: These are mainly unicellular organisms that also have a nucleus. Some examples of protoctista are paramecium, amoeba and unicellular algae. -Prokaryotes: These are also unicellular organisms like protoctista but unlike them, they do not have a nucleus. An example of a Prokaryote is bacteria. Some prokaryotes are able to make their own food which makes them more self-sufficient. These types of…
