Station 3 analyses the quality of water within Baldwin Swamp through investigating the pH Level; the turbidity; the waters dissolved oxygen, nitrites, nitrates, ammonia and temperature. The obtained results convey the pH was neutral in 2009 but is currently 5.95, the equivalent of a normal river stream or that of milk. This Ph level is great because nutrients are most available to plants in the optimum 5.5 to 7.0 range, making the difference in the pH not effective to plants. These Ph levels…

The steelhead trout used to be a native species to the Arroyo Del Valle in Pleasanton, California. Some are anadromous fish (i.e. they spend most of their time in freshwater developing after they hatch and then spend part of their later life in the sea or ocean) but others will remain in a freshwater stream or creek their entire lives. Typically, anadromous populations swim up the creek in winter to lay their eggs and then swim back, leaving the eggs to develop on their own. In order to lay…

this species because females do not have a bulb or the bulb is considerably less prominent. They are the only crocodilian out of the 23 species with sexual dimorphism.

To facilitate their aquatic lifestyle, the gharials have extensively webbed feet. Their legs do not have the musculature to support their body weight on…

The solution that caused the potato to change the most in circumference and mass, was the saltwater solution. In the data table the potato in the fresh water…
