The rise of toxic Microcystis algae blooms in Lake Eerie A combination of climate change and agricultural practices have led to an excess run off of phosphorus in Lake Erie‚ resulting in excess algae blooms spread across the surface of the water. Phosphorus is the key nutrient that dictates algae growth and abundance. Microcystis‚ a species of cyanobacteria characterized by its blue colour continually contaminates the waters‚ and damages marine ecosystems‚ due to its toxicity. Being the smallest

Diet: Planarians are carnivorous and eat other smaller animals. They also eat detritus‚ diatoms‚ dead animals‚ and decaying organic matter. (1) II. Predators: Larger carnivores eat planarians. Some fish such as the Crossocheilus siamensis (Siamese Algae Eater) have been studied to remove planarians from fish tanks. (3) III. Range: Most planarians live in fresh-water bodies. They also live in all oceans‚ and in moist terrestrial habitats. (5) IV. Microhabitat: Planarians are light-sensitive

Andrew McClarren Within the article Scientists Turn Algae into Crude Oil in Less Than an Hour‚ author Tuan C. Nguyen describes the process in which a team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland‚ Washington had gathered together algae and water and created a form of crude oil very similar to petroleum‚ all in less than an hour (Nguyen). As we’ve been discussing and learning in class‚ algae have proven to be the future of biofuels due to its

These two sources are also sources that can be run in today’s conventional gasoline and diesel engines with in some cases little to no modifications. Alternative fuels such as e85 ethanol and biodiesel need to be more widely used in America because it would lift foreign

Green Technologies Green technology‚ also known as environmental or clean technology‚ minimizes impacts on the environment and natural resources. It’s based on concepts such as conserving water and energy‚ reducing waste and pollution‚ harnessing renewable energy sources‚ finding ways to reuse materials‚ and developing less polluting technologies. Green technology is everywhere these days; in the news‚ politics‚ fashion‚ and of course technology. Green Technology is becoming so widespread

resource that is being used in place of gasoline is biodiesel. A renewable fuel‚ produced from agricultural resources such as vegetable oils‚ biodiesel has more than one good thing going for it. It reduces the emission of gases responsible for global warming‚ promotes rural development‚ contributes toward the goal of energy security‚ is renewable‚ and reduces pollution. Biodiesel provides better engine performance and lubrication. Using biodiesel causes less maintenance issues than normal fuel‚ but
