Aquatic plant

With impending temperature changes, scientist can already see how increasing degrees affect plant and animal species. These temperature changes create an inhospitable environment for many of the animals who cannot adapt, especially-large bodied mammals. In a 2003 study of 1,500 plant and animal species studied, 1,200 showed changes consistent with effects scientists would consider temperature-related. (Than n.p.). The world has the…

an attractive model system for plant biology and functional genome analysis.(1-7) It shares many biological features with higher plants (vascular plants) but has the unique advantage of an efficient homologous recombination system for its nuclear DNA.(2,3) This allows precise genetic manipulations and targeted knockouts to study gene function, an approach that due to the very low frequency of targeted recombination events is not routinely possible in any higher plant.(3) Mosses are situated…

easier to catch them due to a migration for resources. “Fish are integral to the health of aquatic ecosystems, from the smallest streams to the largest oceans, and are interlinked with one another in a complex food chain with large predators (like sharks) at the top and single-celled organisms (like plankton) at the base. However, by taking so many fish from the seas, humans have removed entire links from the aquatic food chain, upsetting the delicate balance of nature. As a result, populations…

The plants were collected using aquatic nets, shovels, and by hand. The plants collected was then put into a bucket or bag and was label with the collection site and the date with a sharpie. If buckets was a storage for plants then a couple of inches of water was added. Once the plants were collected they were not exposed to the sun because they could desiccate. All storage containers for the plants were sealed secure before leaving the collection site. Forty five clean buckets were labeled…

mutualism with many others. This symbiotic relationship is very important because they provide life in many ways. The ponds they create create a nutrient rich environment that allows an influx of plants to grow. With the plants that grow come new animals and the deep water allows fish and other aquatic life to thrive. Their lodges and dams create a climax community where organisms in the same community can interact with each other peacefully.…

the higher the light energy is meaning the sun, the more acidic the water will become as well. In this experiment it was figured out whether or not photosynthesis would affect the elodea plant when placed inside of a beaker…

animals nor plants can acquire it directly, but must rely on the assistance of prokaryotes, free-living and symbiotic bacteria, able to fix nitrogen and transform it into a useful element. Cyanobacteria in aquatic systems, azotobacter in the soil and Rhizobium bacteria that lives symbiotically at the roots of leguminous plants, all draw nitrogen from the atmosphere and transform it into ammonia, (NH3), or nitrate, (NO3), important nutrients for plant growth (Bear et al, 2013). Plants…

science direct. I love both of these search engines and with an Ohio State login they are free. Just wanted to say that in case you wanted to let future students about those informational sources. 1 = The site displays a list of invasive animal and plant species in the great lakes basin since the 1800’s. This also describes the steps that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is taking in order to reduce the risk of potential invasive species. This data is formatted in a manner that is…

carbon dioxide.(Plant and Light) However, this lab is focused on how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis in order to see how the intensity of light affect the plant’s photosynthesis, specifically Elodea plants. Photosynthesis is a process which happens in all plants and organisms where they absorb light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy which is later used to fuel organisms’ livings and activities.(Rate of Photosynthesis) Additionally, Edola plants,…

if all of the marine life on Earth today were to go extinct? Would the loss affect humans at all? The answer to these questions, is yes, because the ocean provides 50% of our oxygen. Without saltwater animals, there would not be any underwater plants to provide this oxygen. Because humans are slowly destroying marine life, which is essential to all life on Earth, it is necessary to rescue, rehabilitate, and release marine animals. One of the main causes of death and injuries of sea…
