Literature Review of Class Bivalves 1. Introduction Freshwater and marine bivalves Taxonomy, ecological value, economical value, current Issues, current threats 2. Taxonomy According to Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, the Bivalves class was divided into six subclasses which cover 13 orders. The first subclass, Palaeotaxodonta, have characteristics such as small body, taxodont, protobranch, infaunal and aragonitic shells. This subclass has only one order, Nuculoida. In the second…

Furthermore, altering these factors may stunt plants growth or improve it. For example, plants require an adequate amount of water to survive. Water hydrates the plant and also breaks down the minerals in the soil. As the plant absorbs the water, nutrients are transported into the cells. In addition, Light intensity varies depending on the season, for example during winter, days are shorter as thus daylight is minimised for plants, however as spring approaches the amount of sunlight available to…

Vietnamese Mint, stonecress, and rainbow parsley. Oxygenating plants, have roots submerged in the soil, but their leaves unlike with the floating plants are completely submerged underwater. Oxygenators help keep the water clear by absorbing excess nutrients, as well as release oxygen which helps support aquatic life such as fish, and beneficial aquatic insects. Submerged plants must be carefully maintained as they can quickly dominate the habitat. Therefore it is important to remove excess…

undeniable. There are also many environmental concerns with the development of this process. Nitrogen fertilizers have been found responsible for pollution in many bodies of water as the fertilizers leak due to inefficiency in plant absorption of the nutrients (Smil). According to Professor Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, plant inefficiencies can be over 70%. If the fertilizer is not absorbed by the plants, it is deposited back into the environment. This leads to the…

This datasheet provided information on common slugs. It went into short detail about slugs’ dietary needs and how this can be damaging to plants kept in the yard. It also discussed slugs’ basic activity patterns and how they are drawn out at night and occasionally on rainy days. The main purpose of this sheet, however, was to provide information on how to maintain slug populations in your yard. The methods described included the elimination of shelter, using fermented materials as bait in a trap…

oxygen and salinity observed each day at each farm site is used to plot these graphs. There has been a notion that with drop in salinity, which means freshwater run off, there would be increase in nutrients and supporting higher plankton growth. But, it is not always true. Upwelling events bring up more nutrients where they can be used (surface layers) compared to fresh water runoff. The reason some plankton grow more when there is freshwater runoff is because of the drop in salinity…

Fertilizer is a key variable in growing nice and healthy plants for your garden. You don't want to give to little or too much fertilizer to your plants, because then your plants won't grow so good. To prove this I took five plants and used Miracle Gro 3x fertilizer and used eighty to two hundred and twenty five milliliters of fertilizer. The steps i took for this experiment was pretty simple i filled the containers with soil and tomato seeds. Then I used measuring cups for the fertilizer…

Introduction: There are five main nutrients in food: 1. Protein 2. Carbohydrates 3. Lipids 4. Minerals 5. Vitamins Nutrients are part of a nutritious diet. It is important when trying to live a healthy lifestyle to get the correct balance of nutrients to say healthy. Nutrients are needed to build up and repair body tissue and cells that may become damaged or weakened. They help to maintain our vital organs and help keep our bones in working condition which helps strengthen us. Nutrients help…

It was used to make the nutrient broth. Then 2g of agar was added to the nutrients and it was dissolved in 100 mL distilled water and used as nutrient agar. The medium was sterilized. Maintenance of Bacterial Culture Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were grown on nutrient agar plates and incubated at 370C for 24 hours. The bacterial culture was maintained at 40C and sub cultured routinely to…

Based on the super tracker’s nutrient report analysis, I’ve managed to get my average intake of nutrients for the time period varying from 02/17 to 02/19. My target calorie intake is 2000 calories; however, my intake was below the target amount(1613 calories). Therefore, it’s imperative for me to reach my daily calorie intake in order to receive the full amount of nutrients my body needs to properly function on a day to day basis. On the other hand, the report shows normal levels of…
