about the act’s legitimacy. Regardless of critiques surrounding this act, the Endangered Species Act it is a necessary and fundamentally important law needed as a guide for conservation efforts to preserve living resources from further depletion of biomass. Many…
The simple definition of Eukaryotes is that they are any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane enclosed organelles. Taxonomically, Eukaryotes belong to the taxon Eukarya. The three types of eukaryotic microbes are fungi, protozoa, and algae. Because the three types of eukaryotic microbes are all composed of eukaryotic cells, they have basic similarities in cellular structure, including the presence of a nucleus. However, these types of microbes do differ in many significant…
example, how genetic fingerprinting can be used for identification purposes, or how gene technology could be used to incorporate new characteristics into plants that enable them to grow in damaged salt farmland. Then there is the possibility that biomass, and other renewable biological fuels could be used to at least partially replace the fossil fuels that are beginning to run out, and have been damaging the environment for a long time.…
in the animal kingdom. They thrive in places where malnutrition and unsanitary conditions are present. They live in water and on land, between aquatic sediment or on the sediment surface. Roundworms make up a large portion of freshwater habitats biomass. The body structure of a roundworm has no skeleton, but does have a…
As I careened along the course for my first ever practice, I was struck with how unusual it was for me to do something so daring. Usually very cautious, I had only been asked to join Buggy a week prior, and there I was, lying only a few inches off of the ground in a motorless buggy, with my hands in front of me to steer. Peering through the windshield with an assortment of protective gear, I watched the track zoom by at 25 miles per hour. Buggy is a sport unique to Carnegie Mellon University,…
8%), BA+HL (59-72.7%) and co-inoculation with three microbes BA+SA+HL (60-76.2%). Minimum percent disease index was recorded with RS (68.23%) and fallowed by individual microbes (Table 2). Maximum root length, plant height, plant biomass, number of fruits and fruits biomass were recorded in the co-inoculation of two microbes SA+HL with application method (M3), which was higher than all other microbial formulations (Table…
Biofuel Uses. It is a common misnomer that whenever term “biofuel” is prompted, it is somehow associated with use in automobiles, trucks and possibly planes. Whereas, due to diversity, biofuels have the capacity to replace all types of human energy needs from home heating to vehicle fuel and most importantly electricity generation. This has been explained below:-. (a) Transportation. Globally, transportation accounts for 25% of energy demand and consumes nearly 62% of fossil oil. Two-thirds of…
Nigeria has one of the lowest electricity generation per capita rate in the world resulting 6 in shortage of power supply and heavy dependence on fossil fuels (79 % of total). At present, 7 only 10% of rural households and 50% of the country’s total population have access to national 8 power grid electricity. Separate researches conducted by Energy Commission of Nigeria and 9 Global Energy Network Institute (GENI) have concluded that 100% stable power supply from 10 renewable energy is possible…
Chapter one 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background information and rationale Maize (Zea Mays L.) is one the most important cereal crop in sub-Saharan Africa and Zimbabwe. According to FAO statistics the total amount of maize produced worldwide is estimated at 785 million tons and United States of America is the largest producer and contributing 42%, Africa produces 6.5% with Nigeria being the largest African producer with nearly 8 million tons, followed by South Africa. Based on area and production,…
What is technology and how does in work with our world? Technology is a set of different, ideas, processes, methods, and skills that develop into a service that can either provide or attain a service. The earliest signs of technology are when humans began developing simple tools from natural resources found in the environment. Over time, this scientific innovation has brought cars, mobile phones, electricity, and other inventions that were brought to life that we use in our everyday lives.…
