Aquatic plant

Elodea is an aquatic plant originally from Brazil. It is now available in temperate regions of every continent in the world, except Antarctica. It is used in varieties of experiments, but most importantly, photosynthesis. Although there are different species of Elodea plants, the Elodea genus is an excellent plant to use to test photosynthesis because it is a highly oxygenating plant. This means that one can observe the plant and tell that is photosynthesizing because bubbles form when oxygen is…

for our project was the freshwater aquatic biome—rivers/streams. The other types of freshwater ecosystems covered in this chapter are lakes, ponds, wetlands (bogs), water (marshes), wetlands (swamps), and estuaries (salt marshes and mangrove swamps). The freshwater river/streams are different from the other ecosystems because the animals that live here feed off of the plants that grow on the edge of these bodies of water. Since there is not a large amount of plants growing in these bodies of…

The fish and other aquatic animals will survive if they have sunlight,oxygen, and plants the producer is the plants,the consumers are the fish and shrimp,and lastly the decomposer is the snail.The lamp acts as if it was the sun and produces energy and a light source. And the plants will make oxygen so the fish can breathe making them be able to survive for a certain amount of time. Then they will have everything they need to survive for a few weeks or maybe longer.Because in order for them to…

terrestrial and aquatic habitats, how they support each other by the transmission of nutrients and oxygen between the two habitats. The goals that were devised in class were to observe the various cycles such as the nitrogen cycle, the phosphorus cycle, etc. My hypothesis for this experiment was that the terrestrial habitat would support the aquatic habitat by transmitting nutrients and other abiotic necessities, I also thought that the fish would survive and that my terrestrial plant would be…

as to why the Brazilian pepper tree is a negative entity in Florida. The plant itself bears large clusters of fruit which is frequently sought after by avifauna; when a pepper tree grows near water, its fruits have the chance of falling in and being dispersed (Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, n.d.). Consequently, because of the Brazilian pepper tree’s many seeds and avenues for dispersal, it is quite easy for the plant to ‘divide and conquer,’ or, spread and take over ecosystems.…

1. Why do unrelated plants often assume the same growth form in different parts of the world? Unrelated plants often assume the same growth form in different parts of the world because of similar environmental conditions, physical structure of the plant, myriad interactions of species, chance and history, evolution leading to unique biomes. 2. Which types of environmental conditions limit the distributions of plants? Cold and dry temperature makes it hard for plants to grow. Tundra, located at…

release nitrogen for plant growth and because of their ready solubility ensuring that nitrate ions can be absorbed by plant root hairs. (NOAA). Nitrate compounds have a wide range of uses which rely on their activity as oxidizing agents, the presence of freely available nitrogen, or their high solubility (NOAA). Expain how nitrate is produced in nature and in manmade means and how this gets into water systems (rivers, lakes). All aquatic organisms excrete wastes and aquatic…

Sea slugs and aquatic plants have similar core features that allow both of them to acquire energy from light, but the sea slugs mechanism is far more involved and revolved around evolution. Elysia chlorotica, or the sea slug, have acquired the ability to conduct photosynthesis in their adult stages of life through their consumption of Vaucheria litorea. Vaucheria litorea are algae that are the primary diet of the developed sea slugs. Juvenile slugs acquire this ability when they ingest the algae…

native plants and not Brisbane city council has a program that offers free native trees for you to grow freely (in selected areas) in your backyard. For this assignment I am proving the argument that the city council should only give native plants to the selected suburbs of Brisbane and not plants from other parts of Australia or the world. Using local native plants in your garden have a lot of benefits top offer, for example wildlife and better growth due to the local soil. Using local plants…

ominous-looking, the plants are commonly sold as novelties, and many a curious child (or adult) has triggered its ..……. (baneful, sinister, doomful, malevolent) traps with a pencil to see its amazingly rapid response. However, carnivory in plants is not limited to the famous Venus flytrap. In fact, there are more than 600 carnivorous plant species, and the ability to catch and digest ………(dupe, prey, victim, quest) has evolved independently at least six times among flowering plants. Carnivory in…
