Chemical plant

As I am hiking along I see black and red brown colors in the rocks as I pass by. These two colors are caused by two different types of chemical weathering. The black color I see is the element Manganese (Mn) chemically reacting to the exposure of oxygen (O). This reaction causes MnO2 to form and will break down the rocks over time. The red brown color is caused by a different reaction of…

and their environmental context, while the living biochemical record can reveal the sequence of development of key pathways and biomolecules.” Before photosynthesis, life consisted of single-celled microbes whose power source was obtained from chemicals, such as sulfur, iron and methane. A group of microbes developed the ability to…

and other ingredients necessary to grow. Since their is a competition for the available resources only a few will actually mature into adult trees. Most of the fish would be predators. This is because of the lack of sunlight which is needed for plants to grow. The organisms/animals that first…

Although these two cells share a lot of similarities there are also many differences between the common prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, however more specifically I will be exploring how the structure relates to the function of an animal cell and a non-photosynthetic prokaryotic cell, and it is explained that, “analysing a biological structure gives us clues about what it does and how it works” (Campbell et al: 2014, p.52). The structure and the function of a cell generally aren’t one without…

The“Marijuana” is an ancient plant which is known to have been used long before it was recorded by man as early as 6000 B.C, by the ancient Chinese when the seeds of the plant were used as food. It is believed that the word Marijuana came from the Portuguese word marigu-ana, which means "intoxicant”. And some believed that it was originated from Mexican Spanish, which means ‘To get high’ or ‘Prisoner’ (Martin booth, Wikipedia, 2014). Marijuana is also known by other words such as “cannabis, weed…

tree species (Erdin, 2006). However, it does mean that alien invasive species will become resistant to pathogens and insects. Therefore, these species will consume more water, continue taking up large amounts of space and out competing indigenous plant…

our oxygen will reduce we will have less oxygen because trees are the ones that produce our oxygen so we can breath and our air would be polluted even more with all the car and factories that we use all around the world brings many gases that have chemicals in it that pollute our air. Deforestation also change our climate. Without the tree the climate will alter the region cool climates may get a lot hotter and hot places may get lot cooler. Soil erosion can also lead to silt…

The chemical equations of both reactions are the reverse of each other. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water work together with the protein complexes present in the chloroplast and with the aid of the energy coming from the sun to yield glucose and oxygen. Meanwhile, in cellular respiration, glucose is broken down with the aid of oxygen and enzymes present in the mitochondria into carbon dioxide and water, which are the starters of photosynthesis, and produces energy in the form of ATP.…

Introduction Humans and sharks have different digestive systems in order to suit what they eat. Humans are omnivores which means they eat a variety of either animals, plants or both. On the other hand, sharks are carnivores which means they only eat meat. Another factor that dictates what they eat is the environment they live in. Humans live in a human habitat and sharks live in an aquatic habitat. Over time, both humans and sharks have learned how to adapt to their environment. Humans have…

conditions, specifically in drought. In situations of long periods of drought it has been researched that oak trees lose their ability to effectively perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which sunlight is converted in to chemical energy. Plants make their own food by using energy from the sun to make glucose. There is a practical reasoning behind understanding if adaptations in leaf traits, water transport, osmotic potentials, root depth, and tissue elasticity allow for…
