population of fish below them in the food chain. Research has shown that the decrees in shark population has had a major effect in the oceans eco system. Species Diet Most species of sharks eat the normal fish, meaning they eat, crustaceans, mollusks, plankton, krill, marine mammals and other sharks. Sharks also have an accurate sense of smell, this allows them so detect blood in the water from miles away. Population There are many types of sharks so it is hard to determine the exact…

The Carbon Cycle Addition of carbon to the atmosphere Respiration: Through respiration, carbon dioxide can be added to the atmosphere. Living organisms use respiration to turn food into usable energy. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to take place, and produces carbon dioxide, releasing it into the air and atmosphere. The energy taken from the food molecules following digestion is used to fuel the organism, additionally when mixed with oxygen, releases carbon dioxide when exhaling.…

A flow meter was used to measure the flow rate of the stream. A meter stick was used to measure the meter intervals where the width of the stream was measured using a 50-meter tape. A Plankton net and a Benthos net were used to collect plankton and benthos specimen that were put in a specimen jar. A water sample was collected to measure the dissolved oxygen in the water, phosphate in the water, nitrate in the water and the hardness of the water. Three hach kits…

cleansers have around 300,000 microbeads in a bottle, (Reeves pg.4). This will affect the Great Lakes as long as there is a large amount of microbeads in each bottle. These small beads can be absorbed by anything in the lakes. They can be ingested by plankton or larger organisms. If absorbed, the beads can cause damage to the organism's body. Marcus Eriksen, a widely renowned environmentalist, also provides information on why it is significant, “We estimate that at least 5.25 trillion plastic…

productivity of the given ecosystem. The organisms that live in the pond will determine the majority of the overall quality of the ecosystem. Every ecosystem has a food chain, at the bottom of a ponds food chain are microscopic organisms; a.k.a. plankton, algae, or insect larvae. Many smaller and or microscopic organisms rely on them…

galaxies than from down Here on Earth looking through satellites. NASA has said that we know that there is other life out there we just don't know where.We have found that there is a lot of planets out there with water, that means there could be plankton, which means there could be fish and other aquatic animals and in other other systems the temperature is different from Earth so that means if there is life that it would look and react differently. Civilians in space could help find this if…

The passage suggests that people will not be able to stop the invasion of the zebra mussel in North America, and the invasion will result in a real threat to freshwater fish. However, the professor in the lecture does not agree with the opinion from the passage. First, the passage suggests the people cannot stop the invasion because the past history showed that ship would help spread out the zebra mussel. However, the professor pointed out that this might be true in the past, but now people…

readers feel involved. The author also used scientific theories to help the readers understand the causes and effects of increasing wave heights. On paragraph 6, the author says that "...plankton releases a chemical", "...which in turn prevent the wind from getting a grip on the sea." The author adds that the, “...plankton levels in the North Atlantic have dropped dramatically." By including scientific theories, the author helps the readers understand what caused the wave heights to…

million pieces of new plastic enter the world's ocean daily, which increases the danger to marine life. Plastics such as plastic bags can be mistaken as jellyfish which loggerhead sea turtles love. Microplastics can block the sunlight from reaching plankton and algae which are very important…
