In this set of materials, the reading passage states the reasons for the decline of the yellow cedar tree and provides three reasons of support. While in listening, the professor opposes the reading passage and says that the reasons are inadequate. He also refutes each of the author’s reasons. First of all, the reading passage claims that the decline of the cedar trees is due to the infestation with the cedar bark beetle, since the larva can eat the tree wood. However, the professor counters…

Ovefertilize Your Lawn: Even though it’s tempting to throw layers of fertilizer on fresh soil after the ice has melted, you will want to be very conservative with your use of fertilizer. This is because too much fertilizer can put unnecessary stress on plants — including grass — and make them more vulnerable to disease. Clear Underbrush: Stagnant air around closed…

grapes, such as parasitic fungi and environmental bacteria (Barata et al. 2012). Similar to other plants grapes also have to deal with the two major microbial, fungi and bacteria. These microorganisms play a major role in grape's ecology. Fungi and bacteria can help grape plants however, it can be pathogenic and can cause diseases. Grapes can be attacked…

Reflective Journal 3- How Plants Tell Time After reviewing chapters six and seven in the Biology Life on Earth textbook while also considering the video titled How Plants Tell Time, it can be concluded that photosynthesis is the most important process on earth in regards to maintaining life. Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction, meaning that the products involved in the process have more energy than the reactants (Anderson, 18). Because of this endergonic reaction, plants are able to store…

because the animals that live here feed off of the plants that grow on the edge of these bodies of water. Since there is not a large amount of plants growing in these bodies of water, the remnants in the water eventually increase at the end of these bodies of water (downstream). This results in plants gaining the ability to create their own foundation for growing. This freshwater aquatic biome—rivers/streams is distinguished by its climate, plant life, and animal life. First and…

There are several different kinds of arthropods that feed off of and find nutrients from blood. These kinds of arthropods are also called “hematophagous,” or “bed bugs.” In this experiment, the researchers attempted to distinguish which chemicals would most effectively initiate and persuade feeding in different parts of a bed bug’s life. Various feeding stimulants, such as ATP, ADP, and AMP were used in a feeding system. Of these stimulants, it was found that the most effective chemical in…

Termites are little vegetable and wood eating insects that cause thousands of dollars in repair costs for many homeowners in Australia. They also serve as an important food source to many creatures as well. Here are 10 animals that eat termites. Red-Headed Woodpecker The classic portralyel of a woodpecker pecking away at trees is more than just a cliche.

Stanley’s Pines The year my father’s mother passed away (1958) brought great change to my family. I was five years old when granny died. That was the year dad started constructing a new home in the country, on Cantelou Road, so he could be near his aging father. Our house under construction was on a corner lot next to the thickest grove of trees I’d ever seen. Yes, I’d seen trees before; our city streets had trees. That conglomeration of trees, near our new home, was new to me; there were so…
