was created in 1915 and its area is 415 square miles. Carbon Cycle: The carbon cycle is the processes by which carbon is transferred throughout an ecosystem. In a typical carbon cycle, carbon is released in the form of carbon dioxide through both plant and animal respiration. Carbon is released into the ground in animal waste products and when organisms die, which can create fossils which contain a large amount of carbon. Auto and factory emissions also contribute carbon to the cycle. When…
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…
Cannabis sativa is a hemp plant which the popular drug marijuana comes from. The leaves, stems, and seeds from this plant can be formed into a dried leaf or hash used to smoke and also eat. In 2005 a survey was conducted by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and it showed that 97.5 million Americans age twelve and older reported using marijuana at least once. Research studies also shows that about 9 percent of marijuana users become addicted. Tetrahydrocannabinol also known as "THC" is…
Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is one the most important life processes that happens on earth. It is the process plants use to create their own food by converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen using light energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2. There are many things in the environment however that can help or hinder this process. In this report I will be explaining 3 structures in the leaf that allow it to carry out photosynthesis,…
4. Write out the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis (no peeking!). Sunlight energy + 6H201 + 6C1O2 —> 6O2 + C6H12O6 5. Based on the simulation experiments, what factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant? The factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis are the amount of light, the color of the light, and the amount of carbon dioxide. 6. Compare and contrast the information gained from the experiment about the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis with…
High Park’s oak savannahs consist primarily of black and white oak, shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses. These ecosystems also have very dry and sandy soil, which has caused the oaks to adapt to low soil nitrogen availability levels. Furthermore, the plants found in these savannahs are dependent on frequent fires to clear out the invasive species so they do not have to compete for light and also to sustain their open canopies. This causes less organic matter to be deposited in the soil leading to…
Species are dying, which in turn causes the loss of biodiversity. In order to have a sustainable environment, there needs to be an increase in biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth. The number of species of plants and animals are both part of the biological diversity of the Polynesia-Micronesia hotspot. The loss of biodiversity in this hotspot damages crucial services provided by nature. A biodiversity hotspot is a region with a significant amount of…
SUMMARY The efficacy of abamectin , malathion and three plant oils(olive oil, peanut oil and linseed oil) singly and in three mixture ratios (5:95, 10:90 and 15:85) of the oils and pesticides , were biologically evaluated on cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus ( Fabricius , 1775) infested cowpea seeds. The activity of abamectin and malathion singly or in mixtures with the three oils were significantly increased, particularly at the higher concentrations. abamectin combinations with olive…
Englishmen introduced this plant to the New World in 1611. The colonists used it to build rope, clothing, paper, and even to waterproof their ships. Farmers were encouraged to produce this crop, because it provided numerous uses for the colonists. Other countries had been aware of cannabis’ medical uses for centuries, but it was not until the late 1800’s that Americans began recognizing this aspect of the plant. In fact, there were no objections to the legality of cannabis until nearly the…
Living things have been vanishing since the start of life on our planet. Truth be told, most species that have ever lived on Earth are presently wiped out or never again living. Right around 50 percent of plant species and 75 percent of creature species, including the dinosaurs, wound up terminated. Species are constantly vanishing. This is the aftereffect of infections, rivalry from different species or the regular change in their atmosphere. At the point when people turned into the most…
