Hippos are also very well evolved for a semi-aquatic environment. The hippo has large‚ razor sharp canine teeth perfect for fighting. The canines of the upper and lower jaw grind together sharpening each other. When hippos fight using such sharp teeth‚ having thick‚ protective skin is very important. The skin of the hippo can be up to two inches thick. However‚ even with thick skin‚ hippos still get torn up in a fight. Normally having an open wound in an aquatic environment would lead to infection‚ but

Institutes and Natural History Museum in Gelnhausen‚ Germany‚ and his colleagues have made a first attempt to understand how global warming might affect this form of diversity. Their findings are published in Nature Climate Change. The team looked at aquatic insects living in the mountain streams of central Europe -- seven species of caddis fly‚ a mayfly and a stonefly. The insects were chosen because they are likely to be especially vulnerable to rising temperatures -- they need coldwater‚ and have limited

between organisms and the environment; the connectedness between living systems and non-living systems on the Earth is called ecology. The term “ecology” which was coined by Ernst Haeckel comes from the Greek root words oikos logos literally meaning “the study of household”. Haeckel was referring to the interactions within the house of nature and we have used the word ecology (translated from the German Oekologie or Ökologie) to describe complex systems of life both extant and extinct. These interactions

Background: Photosynthesis is the reaction carried out by green plants to produce a supply of food. The reactions occur in the chloroplasts and require light energy. 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 In aquatic plants‚ the production of oxygen can be used to measure the rate of photosynthesis as the oxygen bubbles can be observed and counted or collected and measured. Your task is to design an experiment to investigate one of the factors that affects photosynthesis

Introduction- This lab experiment serves as a model for community succession using bacterial colonies as the model. A bacterial colony grows from a single bacterium and is composed of millions of cells. Each colony has distinctive colony morphology: size‚ shape‚ color‚ consistency‚ and color. Community succession is a phenomenon observed in the organizational hierarchy of all living organisms. Community succession is not limited to bacterial colonies‚ but spans the entire community of life
