really do anything. Pretty much all sloths do is eat‚ sleep‚ and hang upside down. Sloths have some interesting things about them‚ one of them is their long nails or claws. Another interesting thing about sloths is that they have algae growing on their fur. The algae helps them survive because then they blend in with the leaves and grass. There are two kinds of sloths: 1) the two toed Sloth (like in its name it has two nails or claws)‚ and 2) the

domains of life? Why do some researchers believe that the Kingdom Protista should be split into more than one kingdom? In the early days of biology‚ all organisms were classified as either plants or animals. Single-celled eukaryotic organisms such as algae and Paramecium were assigned to one of the kingdoms according to whether they are photosynthetic or not. Fungi and prokaryotes were grouped with plants‚ because fungi are sedentary and prokaryotes have cell walls. A five-kingdom scheme was devised

Exploration of the digital world My chosen research topic is the natural dietary supplement Spirulina. Spirulina is a simple one-celled microscopic blue-green algae with the scientific name of “Arthrospira platensis”. It is grown in tropical‚ high salt alkaline waters where there is strong sunlight and a pollution free environment. The algae is harvested and spray dried and presents in a powder form for further processing. By volume Spirulina has unusually high concentrations of proteins‚ vitamins

window to enable them to photosynthesise as much as the beakers close to the light. The trend which was expected to be seen was that the light intensity is a limiting factor in photosynthesis. The greater the intensity of light‚ the more the plant/algae cells photosynthesises and so takes up more carbon dioxide as the rate is increased. The results do not show the general relationship between light intensity and

Life as a Fish One of the most unique creatures are fish. As I am sitting here in my room‚ my fish are swimming about with not a care in the world. I wonder what it would feel like to be a fish. I’m swimming about and see eight other fish swim around me. The thermometer reads 72 degree Fahrenheit‚ but the cold water suits me just fine. There are white‚ black‚ and gray pebbles all over the bottom of the tank which collects the deserted food particles. I accidentally suck

turtles grow‚ their jaws become stronger‚ and when their jaws are strong‚ they switch to a strict vegetarian diet‚ eating algae and seagrass. Green sea turtles can get food and eat food by cutting and grinding seagrass and algae with their serrated jaws. Green sea turtles are the only sea turtles that are strictly vegetarian as adults. Just as Green Sea turtles get energy from algae and seagrass‚ sharks‚ mostly Tiger Sharks‚ get energy from sea

1 Title: The Marine Biome #2 Biome Description and Definition The Marine Biome is made of all the oceans in the world. It holds many diverse species in animals and plants and since it is so enormous‚ there is some species that have not been discovered yet. The ocean is a mysterious thing because it is different in each part of the world‚ the climate depends on the location and the location depends on what species are located in that part. Australia is home to the coral reef‚ where today it is

revealed can be mainly explained by the presence of a unique kind of molecules produced by brown algae‚ the phlorotannins. Phlorotannins are polymers of phloroglucinol (1‚3‚5-trihydroxybenzene) and may constitute up to 15% of the dry weight of brown algae and have high antioxidant activity due to the presence of multiple phenolic groups (Koivikko et al.‚ 2008). These phenolic compounds assist the algae to overcome oxidative stress as well as play a putative adaptive role in defense against grazers

the question being asked was: “What is the water quality of the U-High stream based on the water invertebrates found?” The purpose of this experiment was to determine the water quality of the U-High creek. The data was obtained by collecting soil‚ algae‚ and water from the U-High creek and identifying the number and types of invertebrates that were found from the samples. The prediction made was that the U-High creek’s water quality was poor based on the first observations of beer cans and other litter
