Ecosystem

purpose for the content you will teach in this learning segment. The central focus of this lesson is to help the students understand, how energy flows in an ecosystem and how much energy is transferred by each trophic level. The purpose of the lesson is to help the students realize that energy continuously flows and is recycled throughout an ecosystem. This is important to know because, in future lessons, I would aid in the students’ understanding of their ecological impact on the world. b.…

affects the ocean too, temperatures are rising and not only that but the ocean chemistry is changing as well due to increased amounts of carbon dioxide dissolving into the ocean. This leads to several complications in the coral reef ecosystems. The coral reef ecosystem is a variety of different species that interact with each other and the physical environment held together by calcium carbonate structures. They are built by colonies of underwater animals in marine waters that contain very few…

nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems” (Carpenter et al. 1998). The nitrogen and phosphate are dangerous for the fresh water systems because, “In aquatic ecosystems, these nutrients cause diverse problems such as toxic algal blooms, loss of oxygen, fish kills, loss of biodiversity (including many species important for commerce and recreation)” (Carpenter et al. 1998). But there are things that can be done about the problem. Carpenter et al. points out that, “nutrient flows to aquatic ecosystems are…

completely remove all the chemicals from the sky that was there previously. Cleaning up smokestacks and exhaust pipes keeps damaging sulfurous gases from emitting into the atmosphere, and bands of people are actually going out to the damaged ecosystems and…

to maintaining a stabilized ecosystem in not only Yellowstone but the entire mid-west. Wolves are a danger to livestock in the areas where they live. In 2010 a population of 566 wolves killed 84 heads of cattle and 64 sheep. This is a stark contrast from the 369 livestock killed by wolves the year before (Gray Wolves: By the Numbers). Many ranchers,…

dramatic lose to their economy as tuna has become a major export and essential to their governments GDP. Though, once the tuna population falls the primary consumers that the tuna feed on would start to increase which would return balance to the ecosystem. Yes, the banning of shark finning would lead to some economical issues for some countries, but they were making their profit off of murdering sharks for their fins which cannot be justified. Not only is it inhumane but it also is destroying…

function in biology. The example taken into consideration for the essay is the reintroduction of Gray wolves (Canis lupus), hence predators, into Yellowstone National Park to restore the ecosystem health. Many are the ecological interpretations of wolves’ function when it comes to the Northern Rockies ecosystem as research and scientists have been documenting their overall impact for the last few decades. Firstly, a detailed description of Gray wolves’ characteristics will be provided. Secondly,…

conserving current species and ecosystems, but also reintroducing species that have died out in the past. The technological innovations made in the field of biotechnology have made the resurrection of extinct species a viable possibility…

We need to be more aware of these emissions caused by machines and vehicles because they are affecting life as we know it. Energy emissions are dangerous because they are a hazard to the health of people, they cause pollution, and is changing our ecosystem. Vehicle emissions are dangerous because they are a hazard to the health of people. 1.When an average person is outside walking or even driving with…
