Water quality

Ningaloo Reef Marine Ecosystem 1. Identify ten organisms from your chosen ecosystem and draw a food web to show trophic interactions between them. Within this food web, you must include and label a decomposer. Ten organisms that live in the Ningaloo Reef include the bottlenose dolphin, loggerhead turtle, tiger shark, whale shark, Southern Calamari squid, jellyfish, zooplankton, dugong, phytoplankton and seagrass. The decomposer in this food web is bacteria, which works to further break down…

when the body gets dehydrated, because the body doesn't cool itself effectively anymore during the exercise in hot summer days. On the other hand, if you drink more water than the body needs while exercising, hyponatremia can occur. Hyponatremia appears when there is too little sodium in the body, the cells beginning to swell with water. Even if it's a rare condition, avoid being one of the few unlucky people to suffer from it, especially if you participate in endurance activities, which present…

mistakes. My job includes administering water changes, feeding rehabilitating fish, documenting quality tests, and occasionally assisting in injections. Every week I carry a ten pound pump among an assortment of tanks, transferring old water into a bucket above a drain. Other tanks are filling up with fresh water, so I must be vigilant. If one overflows, the water will flood into the outlet and jeopardize the system. Incorrect amounts of chemicals added to the new water will result…

All living organisms require water to survive, however, with each passing year toxic materials, oils and debris are plaguing our precious oceans, harming marine wildlife, plants, and humans. As this process continue to get bigger these pollutants will play a huge role in the amount of oxygen expelled, water quality and decrease all food sources that are provided by the ocean, having damaging effects on humans and marine wildlife. We all need to be more aware of the influences that we possess in…

ABSTRACT: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of pretreatments prior different drying methods and temperatures on compositional quality of the dried mushroom. Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) was cultivated on rice substrate and collected samples were pretreated (steeped or blanched) by different solutions (0.1% sodium metabisulfite and 0.1 and 0.5% citric acid) and dried using oven at 50°C and 60°C, sun-drying at 30-35°C and microwave drying at 2.45 GHz until reached to…

Planet Io Liquid water, an energy source, and organic compounds are the three main things that are needed to support life. Planet X and Jupiter’s moon, Io are very interesting celestial bodies that could have life living on it. Although I think one planet is more likely to support life than the other, I think that life would be more likely on Planet Z than Io. Also, Planet Z has more of the requirements for life than Io. Another reason is that Planet Z has more Earth-like qualities which makes…

industrial activity all increases the speed of water and also changes the hydrology of the wetlands. Louisiana has become a “sacrifice zone” for the countries’ energy…

Many people know of the idea of Carbon footprints, but do not think of the wider concept of ecological footprints. This measures not only carbon emissions but includes energy use, water use, and waste production of a person, or population. This is measured against the ability of the environment to supply these needs, many times leading to a deficit (Global Footprint Network, 2015). The world population uses 1.6 times the resources available of the planet (Global Footprint Network, 2015) and with…

in the ground, and is extracted by the Mining department. Prior to entering the Froth Treatment facility, the Bitumen Froth is created by mixing the ore with hot water for hydrotransport. Froth is the main input to the NFT process and undergoes four separation stages to improve the hydrocarbon recovery of the overall process. The quality of the product delivered to the Primary Upgrading (PUG) facility also depends on the separation…

Fresh water availability is a high determining factor in the survival of life within an ecosystem. What is the purpose of a lake, when it’s unable to fulfill its ultimate niche? Strain and restricted capacity for biodiversity, habitat, and suitable drinking water will undoubtedly occur in the event of an imbalance. Lake Winnipeg served as a body of freshwater that has continually supported it`s community. It has served as a source of commercial fishing, transportation, recreation, and spiritual…
