of many pathogens‚ potentially increasing exposure and risk of infection for humans (Lipp). For example‚ the slow warming of Earth by green house gasses and related environmental changes are commonly linked to algae growth and associated plankton blooms‚ these events could considerably influence the dispersal of one of the most common water-borne diseases‚ cholera (Sattenspiel). Discussion: Cholera is a water bourn disease (transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated water) caused by the

contrast‚ many microalgae‚ (microscopic‚ photosynthetic organisms that live in saline or freshwater environments)‚ produce lipids as the primary storage molecule. By the early 1980s‚ the decision was made to focus research efforts on the use of micro algal lipids for the production of fuels and other energy products. The studies on the growth and chemical composition of macro algae and emergent will be discussed in this project. Microalgae‚ like higher plants‚ produce storage lipids in the form of

It is relevant to understand Daphnia biology because UVR should be considered side by side with predators‚ algal resources and temperature when looking at diel vertical migration. Also‚ wider ranges of lakes such as droughts‚ acidification‚ and modification in

Petroleum productions yield harmful chemical by-products such as sulfur‚ while algal production creates a lightweight‚ clean substance that can readily be used for things such as gasoline and jet fuel and yields a by-product that can be repurposed for various energy sources like electricity as well as fertilizers (Nguyen).

Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activitity on the biophysical environment. Environmentalism‚ a socialand environmental movement that started in the 1960s‚ addresses environmental issues through advocacy‚ education and activism. The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total "long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million). (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report) This level is considered
