A marine biologist studies organisms found in the ocean. As a marine biologist, you conduct research on the organisms found in their home, the ocean. For example,a marine biologist may study how different species in the ocean interact with one another. A person with this career may additionally study how these marine animals have evolved over time or even conduct research on a newly found species. A marine biologist collects samples of marine animals to conduct tests to find out how these…

and down during the process of breathing, and I know that when I inhale, my lungs expand, and when I exhale, my lungs contract. I know that a positive buoyancy causes an object to float, and I know that the transfer of energy from the wind to the water on an ocean shore causes waves. These concepts are tangible, but connecting them together like pieces of a puzzle makes the idea abstract. This class opened my eyes to one of many connections between my body and the earth. The main connection I…

Environmental Struggle; Is Pollution Worth It Greg Graffin, a lead singer of the band “Bad Religion,” once said, “ So much of the habitat destruction and pollution is based on the simple principle that we somehow have been given free license over other species to degrade the planet.” Even though he’s speaking his mind, he makes a valid point about how we’ve been dumping our trash in the ocean and allowing factories to release gases and polluting our air. I am one of those people who cares about…

A World of Plastic In the hour long documentary, TOXIC: Garbage Island by Thomas Morton, a group of adults venture to the North Pacific gyre for 21 days to find a spinning current with tons of chemicals and plastics that will not biodegrade in order to show society how serious plastic pollution is. Throughout the documentary, the VICE team documents the plastic that has polluted the Pacific Ocean. The main argument that is used in the documentary is that most Americans do not think about…

Horseshoe crabs are an important part of the ecology of coastal communities. During the nesting season, especially in the Mid-Atlantic States, horseshoe crab eggs become the major food source for migrating birds. Over 50% of the diet of many shorebird species consists of horseshoe crab eggs. Many bird species in Florida have been observed feeding on horseshoe crab eggs. In addition, many fish species rely on horseshoe crab eggs for food. Horseshoe crabs are currently exploited in three…

However, improvements for this experiment may be to use a higher percentage of sodium bicarbonate to get rid of emulsions and hydrochloric acid, as well as use a water bath to speed up the evaporation time. Another improvement may be to use alumina as a filtering agent to get rid of the additional byproducts. Friedel-Crafts acylation occurs as a quality control assay for steroids. The alkene groups in a 25:1 mixture…

hypothesis stated, If a lifesaver is mixed into water then, the time it takes to dissolve will decrease because by stirring or shaking causes the solute particles to separate from one another and spread out quicker among the solvent particles. My hypothesis was supported. For the mixed lifesaver, at 2 minutes 12 seconds, the lifesaver got smaller and turned the water red, at the final time, 9 minutes 25 seconds the lifesaver dissolved in the water completely. For the untouched lifesaver, it’s…

Abstract: What our problem in our experiment is that distilled water gain mass because there is a higher concentration of solutes while the other solutions contain a lower concentration of solutes. The different types of liquid can affect how the potatoes change or not. Our data shows that Potatoes that were put in the distilled water gained mass while the 5% salt water, 10% salt water, Gatorade, and Coca-Cola lose mass. We also concluded that liquids with high concentration gained mass while…

The null hypothesis for this experiment reads a change in the substrate, Catechol, concentration then there will be a change in the rate of reaction. The alternate hypothesis states if there is a change in Catechol concentration then there will be no change in the rate of reaction. To explain the null, if one chooses to change the amount of substrate in each trial then you should expect to see a change in a number of products produced in those trails. I predict that the trials with less…

and his sister, Lily, moved into their new house by the ocean. Matt and Lily placed their boxes in their new bedrooms and went out to explore the beach. They found several seashells and made a sandcastle together. When Matt looked out towards the water, he thought how much fun it would be to go scuba diving. Together, they rushed back to the house and got their scuba diving equipment. As Matt tried to put his bag on his back, he hit the bookshelf by accident, and a few books fell down.…
