Fixed 1. A thin cuticle. Cuticles primarily discourage water loss; thus most hydrophytes have no need for cuticles. 2. Stomata that are open most of time because water is abundant and therefore there is no need for it to be retained in the plant. This means that guard cells on the stomata are generally inactive. 3. An increased number of stomata‚ that can be on either side of leaves. 4. A less rigid structure: water pressure supports them. 5. Flat leaves on surface plants for

Analysis of The Life Aquatic Growing up without a father can be challenging for the mother‚ child and father combined; and yet it happens every day to hundreds of families year after year. Some of these relationships are reconciled‚ though many are left with no hope. The film‚ The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou‚ is such a story. Steve Zissou never knew of his supposed son‚ Ned Plimpton‚ until 5 years prior to actually meeting him. These grown men meet under dismal circumstances for both parties

Population ecology theory: A Theory that seeks to explain the factors that affect the rate at which new organizations are born in a population of existing organizations Population of organizations: The organizations that are competing for the same set of resources in the environment Environmental niches: Particular sets of resources 2. Population ecology model Number of births determined by the availability of resources Population density:

Ecology Lab Report 4/17/12 Abstract Sampling Stomatal Densities of Various Species of Plants The importance of stomata is the fact that they control the intake of carbon dioxide and the loss of water in plants. The ratio of intake to loss creates a better picture of which plants adapt would to their environment and which would not. Eight different plant species were sampled the stomatal densities and compared them to their environments. The densities were recorded for each species

Dolphins JD Biology 101 January 16‚ 2011 Professor: Abstract Dolphins are a fun and playful species. They have evolved to be well suited for their aquatic environments. Over many years these animals have gone from land dwellers to deep-sea divers. These amazing creatures are considered one of the top predators in the marine ecology system. The Evolution of Dolphins Imagine you are at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom swimming with the dolphins. The trainers explain that all these dolphins
