Seawater

When CO2 is absorbed by seawater, chemical reactions occur that reduce the pH which causes it to be more acidic. This causes calcium in oceans to decrease which is needed by shellfish, coral, and certain plankton to build skeletons and shells. This does not only put such organisms…

the acidification of the ocean is affecting marine organisms. Acidification is a chain reaction of what happens when the CO2 in the atmosphere is high. Higher CO2 in the atmosphere leads to higher CO2 levels in oceans, when the CO2 dissolves in the seawater it causes carbonic acid to form, and more carbonic acid leads to lower levels of the waters pH, resulting in harm to the aquatic life that inhabits the waters. This experiment, unlike others, focuses on the long-term effects that ocean…

While researching texts written about different types of water, the history of water purification, and the supercooling process, one could find different types of articles and videos that explained everything very thoroughly. All of the authors and websites had given a much better idea of the topic of supercooling. To fully understand the supercooling one must understand different types of waters. The purpose for this paper is to understand the water types, the history of water purification, and…

Rocky Mountains, which were once even higher than the Himalayas. The conflict between these plates were buckling, which caused the formation of mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada as well. These mountains eventually eroded and were covered with seawater. (Callen) The uplifting explains the reason why limestone is prominent in the uppermost level of the Grand Canyon. Marine animal skeletons create limestone through biochemical processes, and there is a lot of evidence of sea creatures among…

Trondheim Kommune has already started the process of reducing the energy consumption and the result shows that with these changes, the energy consumption went down by 3,3 % from the first half of 2014 to the first half of 2015. This is from a rapport done with 650 000m2 of the buildings in town and their use of energy. As the graph above shows, the sports halls and nursing homes were the one with the biggest decrease. According to energy consultant Henrik Lindgaard, there are several reasons for…

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that exclusively infect and replicate within bacterial cells. Phages are ubiquitous, with an estimated 1x106 particles per drop of seawater and as many as 1x108 particles per g of soil. Phage predation destroys an estimated one-half of the bacterial population worldwide every 48 h, hence regulating the population dynamics of natural bacteria (Deresinski 2008). Bacteriophages attach to their host cell by specialized structures called tail fibers, inject their…

Perceval, hoping that after a substantial lunch of shellfish, Joan would forget all about her planned water exploit. They washed and cleaned the shells by the shore, then brought their bounty up to the fire, over which the cooking pot now boiled with seawater. They dumped the shellfish into the vessel. “Lionel told me it doesn’t take long to boil these,” said Perceval. As their meal cooked, Perceval and Joan sat in the sand and warmed themselves in front of the flames. They held hands and…

DNA and protein because of RNA ability to not do things right every time. The scientist is A. Gram Cairins in the year 1982. The claim is that clay hydrogel come together to form complex biomolecules.The experiments are water samples to imitate old seawater changes that clay forms hydrogel under certain conditions.The evidence is that looked at clay and it did have hydrogel.The reasoning is that the gel protected the cell until they made there own cell membrane. The panspermia theory was…

given out from houses and halls (Picard). A diet eaten by the poor consisted of bread, cheese, eggs, pottage (Sharnette). Meanwhile, the wealthy were bountiful eaters (Sharnette). They ate an immense variety of foods, from meats to freshwater and seawater fish (Sharnette). Fruits such as peaches, pomegranates, and oranges were even considered to be more opulent and were only eaten by the rich (Sharnette)! However, despite all of the wealthier people’s hearty eating, the poorer people were…

identified due to the distinct quality of two shells attached by a muscular hinge. They can reach a length of 13cm but are often only reach a percentage of that length. Mytilus trossulus are filter feeders and can filter an average of 340 liters of seawater a day (Wildish, 1990). Therefore, blue mussels have a highly efficient method of accumulating bacteria found in the water, thus exemplifying their importance as biological indicators (Hale, 2003). The mytilus trossulus species has been…
