Who’s the better reproducer? With time comes change and with change comes evolution. Organisms are classified into three distinctive groupings: Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya and the kingdom of plants (Plantae) falls under Eukarya. It could be argued that plants are one of the most valued organisms on Earth. Not only do they provide oxygen for the oxygen dependant organisms, such as mammals through the process of photosynthesis, but, they also provide stable conditions and habitats for other…

Oaks trees (Quercus species) have adaptations to withstand drought but the trade off of those adaptations is multiple long-term negative effects on photosynthesis. These adaptations help to tolerate harsh 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…

In the Batewood Park environment, I noticed on arrival that there were few shrubberies or flowers, but there was an abundance of a variety trees. There was a playground, a picnic, table, basketball court, and other things added from humans, which causes the park environment overall to be different than that of a forest that is not impacted specifically from humans. I sat in the grass near the picnic tables and an oak tree, close enough to where I could observe ants under the picnic tables, bees…

4. Uptake and bioaccumulation of plastic derived chemicals A key factor contributing to the bioavailability of microplastics is their small size, density, color, surface (smooth or rough) (Stephanie L. Wright a,2013). Food chain disturbance in marine environment is the major problem because due to ingestion of plastic which consists of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), POP and PAH. They absorbs/bioaccumulation in the fatty acid of living organism and cause death of the species. At least 180…

process used by plants, algae and some bacteria, to use the energy from the sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The equation for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water light energy glucose + oxygen. Chloroplasts are an organelle found in the leaves of green plants and are essential in photosynthesis as they are responsible for producing the glucose and storing the energy. Photosynthesis is vital for all life on earth as the plants create their own…

Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and…

With some extensive research scientists believe Archaea has nothing in common with Bacteria. One of the differences is the archaea have no peptidoglycan in their cell walls and that archaea is closely related to the eukaryotes by from having chloroplasts or mitochondria to produce energy for cells. The Phylogeny of the Archaea has these phyla: Thaumarchaeota, Crenarchaeota, Korarchaeota, Nanoarchaeota, and Euryarchaeota. These Archaea organisms could very well be the oldest living species on…

FOOD COLORS INTRODUCTION: Through pigments we observe the different colors at each step of our lives, because the pigments can be found in each organism in the world and plants are the main producers. Pigments can be easily found in fruits, vegetables and flowers. It can also be found in skin, eyes and in other complex body parts. Natural and synthetic pigments are used in food, furniture, cosmetics and other products. Natural pigment plays an important part in photosynthesis. The food colors…

There are two different ways that electron flows, cyclic and noncyclic (linear). Noncyclic Electron flow is important for processes such as the synthesis of ATP and NADPH, since it is the key to the energy transformation in these mechanisms (Campbell 195). Linear/Noncyclic electron flow occurs mainly during light reactions of photosynthesis by having the flow of electrons go through the photosystems and other molecular components that are built into the thylakoid membrane (Campbell 195). They…
