each for food. A food chain is a sequence of organisms that feed on each other. Although the design of a food chain can vary by ecosystem, all food chains are made up of the same basic trophic levels. Trophic levels are the levels within the food chain where an organism obtains its energy. The tropical levels contain the producer, consumer and the decomposer. Food chain can also be represented by pyramid The above energy pyramid shows many grass providing food and energy to zebras on…

A true friend accepts who you are but also helps you become who you are supposed to be. The definition of a true friend has changed over time. “The Japanese have a term, Kenzoku, which translated means “family”. The connotation suggests a bond between people who’ve made a similar commitment and share a similar destiny. It implies the presence of the deepest connection of friendship, of lives lived as comrades from the distant past.” (Lickerman, Alex. “The True Meaning of Friendship.” Psychology…

highly on the willows because they use them for dams and lodges. Next, the beavers provide a pond to many reptiles and amphibians. In return this increases many of different animals up and down the trophic levels. An ecosystem will become less diverse as there are changes from different trophic levels, a term called trophic cascades will begin to occur as the apex predator is eliminated from an ecosystem. With the willows being gone there is not a place for other small animals to live and eat…

While interviewing all of the different people and roles in the church, I notice that a lot of the answers were very consistent in their evaluation of the church and of Tony. I noticed that a lot of people felt the same way about Tony, and from the overall info that I received on him from everyone is that he is an awesome guy. First we can look and see what the people had to say about the pastoral roles that are crucial within a church. To do this we can take a look at the different words the…

6.3 Research question #3 How do mercury stable isotopes ratio change in mercury bio-uptake and bio-magnification in an Arctic marine ecosystem? There is still debate in the scientific community about Hg trophic transfer and/or in vivo transformations lead to MDF and MIF of Hg isotopes (Bergquist and Blum, 2007; Perrot et al., 2012; Senn et al., 2010; Kwon et al., 2012; Das et al., 2009). The MDF and MIF signatures of food webs may help to identify major sources and processes leading to…

Life’s events can cause us to change our priorities. For instance, if you were diagnosed with cancer, it can change your life physically and mentally. It changes how you look at life now knowing that one day, you will no longer walk on the Earth, unless there was a cure. In the short story, Contents of a Dead Man’s Pocket, Tom had many priorities in which changed at the end. In the beginning of the story, Tom has to make a decision on whether to go to the movies with his wife or stay at home…

biodiversity of an ecosystem? Before we were given the question, we were taught that biodiversity is about relative abundance and species richness. Just recently we learned about the transfer of energy in food webs, while also learning more about trophic levels. Looking at how much energy you gain and how much an organism needs, I learned that eating straight off a source of plants would help organisms grow and prosper. For our group we examined the producers of the ecosystem who are at the…

It is often interesting viewing your world and reality through the eyes of other people, listening as they decipher and make assumptions, none all that accurate, about the facts, while you 're left to live those facts. Americans have a lot of opinions about Haiti and about as many questions too. As soon as people know that I’m Haitian, I get flooded with questions that I highly doubt they want the answers to: “Why is Haiti so poor?” “Do you do voodoo?” “Where does all the relief money go?” “Why…

research with the public. In any time of need an individual is forced to resort to do things necessary for help like seeking help or even begging. While down in the dumps, a man by the name of Richard Lemieux had to eventually start begging on the streets and he soon realized that humans aren’t…

reasoning to form a theory using several disconnected clues. With the information given from a variety of other climbing boys, she is capable of determining the region in which the master sweep currently containing Tommy can be found. While roaming the streets, Emmaline comes across a boy who knows of a deaf sweep who fits the description of her brother, however, has a different name; Moony. Named for the way he watches the moon and the fact he is only able to communicate the letter “M”, she…
