the coast guard has found more than 250,000 oil spills in u.s waters. 1.7 billion gallons of oil have been split into the ocean waters because of tank accidents from 1970 to 2009. How are oil spills affecting the wildlife? Oil can affect wild life in two ways, the oil itself and the cleanup of oil. Spilled oil can affect wildlife because animals are attracted to it and don’t know it’s harmful and poisonous. It affects animal’s internal organs and also the outside of the body. The wildlife that…
surface ocean currents warming or cooling the air above them, affecting the land nearby. Surface water is affected by wind currents, while deep ocean water undergoes upwelling, which is caused by the density of water. Abiotic factors which influence the Atlantic Ocean include the light levels, temperature, salinity, density and water movement, and nutrients. The light levels and temperature of the water is dependent on sunlight. Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to occur and for organisms’…
ammonia with acids or known as ammonium salts and contain the ammonium ion, NH4+. NH3 also ionizes to a small extent with metal oxides and the halogens. Like water, ammonia undergoes molecular autoionisation to form its acid and base components, decomposing to NH4+ and NH2- (“CHEM-GUIDE”). Ammonia is combustible in air, producing nitrogen gas and water. The combustion of ammonia is exothermic and usually needs some sort of catalyst to occur. While ammonia is highly stable, it can be decomposed…
cortical parenchyma; it occurs druses and a cambial variant, shows formation of internal phloem. This internal phloem is same as external phloem but sieve tube elements relatively longer than external one. Development of three internal phloem patches exerts pressure on pith cells, because of that pith cells get compressed and it resulted in to small compressed pith. Key Words: morpho-anatomy, Cressa cretica, bicollateral, internal phloem. INTRODUCTION…
Non-leaking batteries do not pose health risks when handled. Alternate Text Group While most batteries are used and disposed of before ever presenting a problem, very old or damaged batteries are prone to leaking. Heat and age can cause leaks as can internal pressures that build inside the battery as it is drained. The chemicals inside batteries release hydrogen gas as they are used, which results in pressure on the battery seals. In some cases the batteries may simply be defective. No matter…
beaches is taking its toll on the animals residing there as well as the land itself. With increasing intensity, the damage becomes more irreversible every day. The rising sea levels can have potentially devastating effects on coastal wildlife, drinking water, and the human populations along the shoreline. Many coastal species are being impacted by the rising waterline. One example is the sea turtle. Sea turtles rely on low-lying sandy beaches for breeding as these areas are optimal for…
The temperature at which enzyme activity is most effective is approximately at 40℃. This result was expected as this trial temperature was closest to internal body temperature, 38℃, and as catalase is present in all body organs (T. Fouad, Antioxidants). Temperature affects chemical reactions by increasing the kinetic motion of molecules and changing the rate of collisions between them. In lower temperatures, kinetic motion is decreased and there are not enough collisions between the molecules…
is the most damaging pollutant after a wildfire, silt being carried to nearby rivers, streams and lakes after a heavy rain causes. The water quality is often critically affected by forest fires. A Large fires produce large amount of ash and soot, that can make its way into surface. Wildfires also directly affect timber resources, shelter, food as well as the water resources used for the wildlife that inhabit it. Often times, severe insect damaged follows extreme fires within a forest due to the…
10-15 min. The Solid filtered off and washed with solvent mixture. The combined filtrate concentrated at reduced pressure to remove THF , then the aqueous residue extracted with 2 X 40 ml ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate layers washed with water and dried over MgSO4. To this ethyl acetate layer, 2ml of glacial acetic acid added and stirred the reaction mixture at room temperature to afford acetate salt of 1-(2-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl) cyclohexanol…
HardiePlank offers superior protection, but combining it with HardieWrap weather barrier maximizes the protection. What Is HardieWrap? HardieWrap is a non-perforated, non-woven polyolefin barrier that is applied under the siding. It is a breathable water-resistant barrier that helps prevent rain from penetrating beneath the exterior siding while simultaneously helping the interior exhaust moisture in the air. In addition, HardieWrap can boost the efficiency of wall insulation without requiring…
