about how plants cannot survive in total darkness and how darkness &light affect the growth of a plant in different ways. Plants cannot survive in total darkness as they use the suns energy and through a process convert it into food, this process is called photosynthesis. The plants that need sunlight to survive, which are majority of plants are called autotrophs. The presence/absence of light and dark play an important role in a plants as they trigger metabolism, growth and behaviour in a…

Aldermaston Soke — One of England's Must-Visit Hamlets Aldermaston Soke is a hamlet that lies on the boundary between the two counties of Hampshire and Berkshire. Administratively, it's considered to be a part of Mortimer West End, a civil parish that was transferred to Hampshire from Berkshire in the late 1800s. It lies on the bottom of the valley near Silchester, a village that used to be a major settlement during the Roman times. Archeology and Aldermaston Soke It's believed that a short…

The tundra is defined as a large, treeless, and almost flat open space. They are located in the uppermost regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. In the tundra, most of the months’ average temperature is under the freezing point. The winters are long and harsh; in contrast, the summers are short and somewhat warm; however, the average monthly temperature is never above 10°C. Evaporation is poor, so there is very little precipitation and when there is, it’s dispersed evenly throughout the…

can see what kinds of animals are on their way to extinction. Protect the habitats of the animals that are so few in numbers. Plant native plants to the area where you live to attract more native animals, such as birds and butterflies, even help attract threatened or endangered animals. In the United States alone there are 1,985 endangered or threatened species plants and animals alike. That is a lot for the States. Trash that gets dumped into the Atlantic by Boston and New York. Some of…

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…

The Taiga Biome A biome refers to the existent habitat in varied places identified through the existent mountain tops, deserts, tropical forests together with the existent climate in the area (Whitney, 2002). The taiga identifies the biome of the need leaf forest and remains characterized by cold weather leading to limited food supplies in the winter (Marietta, n.d.). Food shortages influence the development of a hibernation tendency among the majority of animals in the taiga during the winter…

Robert Brown Biology is a very broad topic and many scientists have contributed to the biology world. In this paper I will be talking about one of those people who had a major contribution to the science community. “Robert Brown was born on December 21, 1773 in Montrose Scotland. He died on June 10, 1858 at the age of 84 in London England” (Britannica 1). Robert Brown most recognized by how he described the “cell nuclei and the continuous motion of minute particles in solution, which came to…

an attractive model system for plant biology and functional genome analysis.(1-7) It shares many biological features with higher plants (vascular plants) but has the unique advantage of an efficient homologous recombination system for its nuclear DNA.(2,3) This allows precise genetic manipulations and targeted knockouts to study gene function, an approach that due to the very low frequency of targeted recombination events is not routinely possible in any higher plant.(3) Mosses are situated…

part of the day was spent contrasting the prairies we observed yesterday at Sherburne Wildlife Refuge with the newly restored prairie at Audubon. Historically, the new prairie was an old agricultural field; the team removed the old plants, sprayed to remove the plants, burned off the older vegetation and then replanted with specific species. Bur oaks were planted to model the savannah. Their plantings are hoped to attract a couple of species in particular including the red-headed woodpecker,…
