Chlorophyll

Algae contribute to about half of all oxygen production(Chapman, 2013). They are photosynthetic, meaning that they produce their own food from sunlight, water, and nutrients, and are usually found in any water habitat(Smithsonian, 2016). The fact that algae produce oxygen is important because dissolved oxygen is very important to the health about of a water body(Water properties: dissolved oxygen, 2016). Human activity runoff is a major source of water pollution(Runoff, 2016). Runoff can pick up…

The purpose of this experiment was to analyze meso- and microzooplankton feeding. Largely due to size differences, mesozooplankton (>140 μm) are important exporters of carbon and prey for larger organisms, while microzooplankton (100–140 μn) are important recyclers of nutrients, dominant grazers of phytoplankton, and key link in the microbial loop (Conroy et al., 2016; Uitto and Hallfors, 1996). Therefore, understanding this relationship between zooplankton and grazing will allow scientists…

Photosynthesis takes in sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and glucose through light reactions and the Calvin cycle. This process starts in the chloroplasts of the plant cells. The chlorophyll in the chloroplasts absorb solar energy and converts this to ATP and NADPH. This is achieved when the light energy drives electrons from water to NADP+ to create the NADPH. When the water molecule is split, oxygen is produced as a by-product. The…

Medicinal plant is an organism of the kingdom Plantae; now specifically, a living organism of the embryophyta (land plants) or of the chlorophyta (green algae), a eukaryote that includes double-membrane bounded chloroplasts in its cells containing chlorophyll a and b. Medicinal plants contain a large variety of chemical substances that possesses important therapeutic properties used in the treatment of many diseases. Increasingly industrialized societies are developing drugs and…

Brussels sprouts are partially responsible for for putting a stop in the DNA damage through which cancer cells mutate and form into tumours. Brussels sprouts also contain a compound called chlorophyll in high quantity which is known for blocking carcinogenetic effects of cells. Brussels sprouts can reduce the risk of cancers such as melanoma which is a skin cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and esophageal…

2. Introduction Nitrogen fertilizer can aid increase crop production and provide more food for the growing population. Since earlier ages, people has shown preoccupation about soil fertility and soil exhaustion (Strawn, Bohn, & O'Connor, 2015). Some management practices such as manure application or crop rotation were known by Chinese 3000 years ago (Strawn, Bohn, & O'Connor, 2015). However, it was just in the last-century that the crop yield increased dramatically. Improvements of hybrids, soil…

membrane forms a border from the Stroma and it allows materials to enter and exit the Chloroplast. The outer membrane is “permeable” to ions, which can diffuse easily, and its not permeable to proteins. Chloroplasts contain a green pigments called Chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight and uses the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. A by-product of this reaction is Oxygen because it is freed from the water during this chemical reaction. Similarly to Mitochondria,…

with very minimal signs of life. Where coral reefs harbor millions of different species and are one of the most majestic ecosystems in oceans. Corals and Symbiodinium species have a symbiotic relationship. Symbiodium possess different types of chlorophyll and carotenoids which provide nutrients and color to corals. There are many causes of coral bleaching not just one direct cause. Because they are so sensitive coral bleaching can be caused by temperature flux and influxes, darkness,…

Alternative Medicine Although Alternative medicine is not a common source of health care, it has been proven to be an effective way to cure illnesses. The three most commonly used alternative medicines are Herbal Medicines, acupuncture, and Mind-body medicine. Before our modern medicine that we use today was invented, herbs were what cured many diseases and sicknesses. (Moore, Arden, and Bridget Doherty 2) Our ancestors thousands of years ago, did not know how the herbs they used worked. They…

Setting word limits is so stupid and it is only as good as it is concise right? So if I’ve concisely made my point in like two thousand words, why are you gonna force me to write three thousand words of crap? For example, one of the assignments would be to write what carpet is in a maximum of twenty words. I write “Carpet is a soft material usually laid on floors to offer a soft surface on which to pleasantly walk.” Now do the same but write two hundred words. Like you get to the point where you…
