Phytoplankton

Artic areas. Both articles state their claim agreeing that the rising temperatures have been continuing to elevate in heat sensitive areas for quite some time now. Due to rising temperatures, the harsh sunlight has begun to show attention toward phytoplankton blooms. In research from “Thinning ice creates undersea artic greenhouses” by Thomas Sumner, there is information yet to be discovered before knowing if enough nutrients such as nitrogen and iron are creating these blooms. If more blooms…

Notes from You-tube Plantopia Videos In this paper I will write some points about the videos I watched. The first video about The Carbon Cycle, I learned from this video the Carbon is the basic building block of life, and there are these atoms are unique in every place on earth. Carbons forms the flora and fauna the earth, and are also stored in the ocean and the atmosphere, and the planet 's crust. Carbon atom can spend millions of years moving through the ground in a complex cycle. This…

of a food chain affected is phytoplankton. These tiny organisms cannot survive with temperature change. If there is a decreased amount of phytoplankton, the food chain is in trouble since many animals depend on this food source. This will cause a domino effect. For example, phytoplankton are eaten by zooplankton. The zooplankton are then eaten by fishes. The squids eat the fishes. Squids are finally eaten by the sperm whales (Stanley, 94). If the supply of phytoplankton are low, these organisms…

into chemical energy; an animal can transform chemical energy into energy of movement by the muscles and can transform energy of movement into heat, and so on. The Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. Primary producers or autotrophs like Phytoplankton and Algae synthesize organic materials. The synthesis of organic materials from inorganic substances by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis is called primary productivity. Primary producers use CO2 as carbon source and sunlight as energy to…

hundreds of years until it eventually dies and decomposes. Phytoplankton: Phytoplankton are at the bottom of the marine life food chain. They absorb dissolved carbon dioxide from the ocean and use it to help build their physical body structure. The carbon dioxide is absorbed into the phytoplankton shells. When they die, the carbon stored in their bodys is transported to the deep ocean to then be turned into sediments, or the phytoplankton are eaten by other creatures and their carbon is…

example of this, according to Raven, Berg and Hassenzahl, is “an organism in an environment” (43). Phytoplankton, Zooplankton and Benthos are all living or biotic organisms this study examined in the starch factory stream. Phytoplankton are, according to Raven, Berg and Hassenzahl, “free-floating photosynthetic algae and cyanobacteria that form the base of most aquatic food webs” (124). Phytoplankton is green when examined in a microscope while zooplankton is not. Zooplankton are defined as…

However, phytoplankton is little to nothing in the diet of Prawns. The decline of Cichlids after the Nile Perch introduction was due to predation from the Nile Perch which consequently move on to adult Prawns. Though, before the Nile Perch appear in the food web as apex…

1. Why do unrelated plants often assume the same growth form in different parts of the world? Unrelated plants often assume the same growth form in different parts of the world because of similar environmental conditions, physical structure of the plant, myriad interactions of species, chance and history, evolution leading to unique biomes. 2. Which types of environmental conditions limit the distributions of plants? Cold and dry temperature makes it hard for plants to grow. Tundra, located at…

it a keystone species. The bottlenose dolphin is a predator and prey. The great white shark feeds off of the bottlenose dolphin. The dolphin eats crabs, mackerel fish, and shrimp. The crabs eat phytoplankton and seagrass. The mackerel fish just eats phytoplankton. The crab eats algae, kelp and phytoplankton. This evidence supports the claim that I made because by taking out those dolphins the seas would be overpopulated by the shrimp, fish, and crabs. Whatever they eat would be underpopulated…

Marine Science 04.03 Sharaad Britt 1. Some of the common symptoms of food poisoning: • Some of the common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and respiratory distress. • Based on the above symptoms I think brevetoxin , which is produced by Karenia brevis would be responsible for the outbreak. Karenia brevis (K. brevis), a marine algae, causes red tides. 2. A HAB outbreak can have an economic impact: • HAB can affect tourism, public health, jobs, public…
