What are the names of the species used in this experiment? Which of these species was the most tolerant of increased acidity in the aquarium? Which species was the least tolerant? The names of the species used in the experiment were clam‚ dragonfly‚ and side swimmer. The specie that was the most tolerant was the dragonfly and the least tolerant was the clam. Describe how acid precipitation affects ecosystems. Acid precipitation affects the ecosystem‚ for example‚ lowering ph in water when it

Fast Plants 5th and 6th period AP Biology Due: 12/16/13 Abstract This experiment was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism ’s traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in cruciferous plants. This plant aids scientist in the exploration of

Demography Demography can be defined as scientific‚ mathematical‚ statistical study of population in reference to population density‚ population density‚ population distribution‚ population size and structure‚ population composition. The word Demography was first coined by a Greek Mathematician‚ Achelle Guillard. What means Population? Population means the total number of children‚ youths‚ adults and old people of a certain locality‚ village‚ town‚ city‚ district‚ region or a country. In

INTRODUCTION TO DEMOGRAPHY Demography is the scientific study of size‚ composition (structure) as well as change in the human population through the interaction of fertility‚ mortality and migration. Demography is dynamic and not static; it makes considerable use of mathematics and statistics. Demography involves the analysis of the determinants and consequences of the change in demographic phenomena i.e. fertility‚ mortality and migration. DEMOGRAPHIC TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Population size is the

Bio Lab Report Erica Patterson September 10‚2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What

Question 1 What are probable sources of acid precipitation in your community? What impact can this have on the environment in your region? Some of the probable sources of acid precipitation is Fog‚ and rain. During the summer it hardly rains which makes it hard for our crops to grow‚ also since we are in the valley it makes it hard for us to get the water that we need. During the fall it gets very foggy in the mornings and it makes it very difficult to see while your driving. Prevailing
