Body of water

much as possible. Various ecosystems can take place where the ocean meets land; a sandy beach, intertidal mudflat, rocky shore or tidal estuary. An estuary is a body of water in coastal regions that is surrounded partly by land with access to open ocean and a large fresh water…

As a normal human being, we all produce waste. This waste comes from cells, as metabolic waste. This includes excess carbon dioxide, salts, and urea. Urea is a toxic compound that is produced when amino acids are produced. And that waste leaves our body. The system that gets rid of that waste is the excretory system. This system is consisted of the skin, lungs,the kidneys, and all their helper organs. The main organ of this system are the kidneys. They are located on the right and left side of…

child-like arms dangling from its enormous body. As its head scans the crowd, a constant cracking noise reminds the audience that these animatronics are as old as the dinosaurs themselves.

Peering over the side of the deck, you can see the marshy waters fifteen feet below you. Tall clusters of…

The purpose of this lab activity was to observe the effects that salt has on seed germination, plant growth, and flower production. Similar to humans, plants have vital needs that must be fulfilled in order to grow. Light, water, air, nutrients, and proper temperature all affect plant growth. The importance of these necessities differs widely among plants but are vital nonetheless. Plant health also relies heavily on what scientists refer to as the limiting factor. This concept correlates the…

An aquatic ecosystem is a community of organisms that live within a body of water such as freshwater system or a saltwater system. The application of understanding aquatic ecosystems is how species adapt and inhabit a specific body of water that they reside in and the role that different water systems play in the survival of these various species. It is also important to understand the biodiversity within aquatic ecosystems to recognize why and how a wide range of diverse species can maintain a…

Rivers generally start as a trickle of water high in hills or mountains. Some come from rainwater or melting snow. Most appear from underground watercourses, shaped after rain or snow seeps into the ground then fizzes back to the exterior.…

go in order to get the tank where it is today. The first step in starting a tank is to use the most pure water that is obtainable called reverse osmosis water that is nearly 100% pure. This is normal tap water that is filtered through fiber cartridge filters, activated carbon, reverse osmosis membrane and then is ran through two sets of UV sterilizers. Once the tank is full of the pure water, the levels of different minerals and trace elements must be added to make it able to accommodate…

Increasing water temperature because of climate change will likely affect their abundance and cause a southward shift in their distribution. The waratah anemone and the photosynthetic algae have a mutualistic relationship. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship between…

In any endurance exercise, hydration is key to the human body’s recovery as 75% of the energy produced from metabolism is in the form of heat. Due to this heat the body puts itself in an impossible state to carry on functioning, with dangers of heat illness, hence sweat is produced providing the primary cooling system for the body to prevent this from happening. This means that this fluid needs to be replaced hence why athletes are encouraged to rehydrate by drinking fluids to allow this cooling…
