Jessica Austin AP English 3 Salyers 2 2.20.13 Aquatic Humanoids For generations‚ the human race has been fascinated with aquatic humanoids‚ a more common term being mermaids. Our ancestors have written literature‚ drawn pictures and sculpted statues of half-human‚ half-fish women. Personally‚ I believe these sea creatures could be non-fiction due to the fact that the world has explored less than five percent of our oceans; one cannot simply determine a specimen does not exist without proof and

For as long as I can remember‚ science has always interested me. Also‚ I have always been fairly good at it. When I was younger‚ I would ask all of my family members what their profession was‚ and I remember my aunt told me she was a scientist. I did not exactly know what that meant at the time‚ but I knew it sounded interesting. I think anything with science interests me because I like the fact that things can be explained through science. I have always been fascinated to know how things work and

the Road-An Ecosophy of Life: One of the important subfields of Ecocriticism is Ecosophy or ecological philosophy. It is commonly known as ‘the philosophy of ecological harmony or equilibrium’. The term was coined by the Norwegian father of deep ecology Arne Naess and French Post-modernist philosopher Felix Guattari. Naess’s definition of ecosophy is as follows: “By an ecosophy‚ I mean a philosophy of ecological harmony or equilibrium. A philosophy as a kind of sofia (or) wisdom‚ is openly normative

Biology 203L:11 Biology 203:10 November 14‚ 2011 Abstract Lemna minor‚ or duckweed‚ is a small plant that floats on the surface of stagnant water that is usually rich in nutrients. Phosphorus is an important macronutrient in the growth of aquatic plants. We tested the effect of phosphorus on duckweed population growth using a control medium rich in nutrients and compared it to the population growth in a medium that lacked phosphorus. Each treatment had 5 replicates that began in beakers with

Ecosystem diversity is all the different habitats‚ biological communities and ecological processes‚ along with the variation within individual ecosystems. For example‚ the differences between Aquatic‚ Forest‚ and desert ecosystems [To achieve high biodiversity‚ it is important to maintain the 3 levels of biodiversity.] What is an Ecosystem and an Ecosystem Service?

PHD in Marine Biology. After college‚ much special training is needed to get used to the environment. I am interested in this career because I love working with aquatic animals. The first time I saw a whale at Sea World‚ I was hooked on the idea of working with theses animals. This career would allow me to work more with the aquatic animals I love. There are so many type of animals to work with that it would keep me busy throughout my whole career. Another great part about this career is knowing
