Float

Duckweeds, or water lens, are flowering aquatic plants which float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water and wetlands. Duckweeds are good for experiments because they are very simple plants, lacking a stem. Duckweeds are commonly found in environments that are associated with fertile, even eutrophic conditions. Since duckweeds can provide nitrate removal and can absorb mineral nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, they are known for purifying water.…

Background: Photosynthesis is the process by which photoautotrophs convert photons of kinetic light energy into potential chemical energy (food) by synthesizing glucose from water and carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen as a waste product. Sunlight radiation travels in waves but acts like particles of energy called photons. During photosynthesis, these photons are harvested to produce chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. Autotrophs are “self-feeder” organisms that make their own…

The Impact Of Pollution On Marine Wildlife Marine wildlife has been in existence for over million of years. Researchers and Marine Biologists have been trying to show the importance of the studies of how pollution impacts the lives of many marine wildlife and their habitat.

The Cape Schanck House is like a box kite flying high above Bass Strait, twisting around its long axis as it dives into the top of the dunes. The Medhurst House is a glazed pavilion floating in Miesian serenity above serried rows of vines. In contrast to these ancient earthbound types, the Cape Schanck and Medhurst houses are based on a typology that defies architectural tradition and history. Rather than grounded, they appear airborne. The Cape Schanck House is a black elongated rectilinear…

It can kill animals and plants upon touch, even…

Emily Dickinson, enigmatic as always, is in fine form in this poem as she floats through beautifully veiled metaphors and tantalizing descriptions to depict her fascination and enthusiasm with the natural world. She uses the metaphor of insobriety to paint a vivid picture of the sometimes overwhelming aspects of nature. "I taste a liquor never brewed- From Tankards scooped in Pearl- Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an Alcohol!" These are four interconnected and…
