What are the Differences and Similarities between Freshwater and Saltwater Fish? There are many differences between freshwater and saltwater fish‚ as the anatomy (how they absorb and dispose of unneeded water‚ sizes and reproduction)‚ where they are located‚ climate‚ feeding and species. In addition‚ there are many similarities they share as they are some species that eats the same prey‚ the same food chain (the biggest will eat the smallest) and some parts from their anatomy (fish scales‚ gills

The Effects of Herbicides on Aquatic Organisms Anthony Cerda John Jay Science and Engineering Academy Abstract In this experiment different herbicides were added to aquatic organisms. The organisms used were protists and bacteria which are microscopic organisms (Microorganisms). Herbicides are chemicals used to control certain plants such as weeds. Two hypotheses were tested in the experiment.H₁) The herbicides will affect the population growth rate of the microorganisms and H₂) The adding

classification of Aristotle was misleading because animals that live on land include earthworms‚ mosquitoes‚ butterflies‚ rats‚ elephants‚ tigers etc. These animals do not resemble each other except that they share a common habitat. Similarly‚ all aquatic animals do not resemble each other. Therefore‚ a new system of classification was developed to classify the vast diversity of organisms present on earth. Principles of classification followed today include: • Nature of cell: Nature of the cell

1. An area of the forest that experiences very little change in species composition is a climax community/primary succession. Climax community 2. The amount of oxygen in a fish tank is a tolerance zone/limiting factor that affects the number of fish that can live in the tank. Limiting factor 3. Ecological succession/Secondary succession describes the events that take place on a hillside that has experienced a destructive mudslide. Ecological succession 4. Lack of iron in the photic zone

PLANT SYSTEMS QUESTION 1979:L. PETERSON/AP BIOLOGY In relation to plants‚ describe in detail one way of: a) measuring the rate of transpiration b) measuring the rate of photosynthesis c) separating pigments Essay : Transpiration is the loss of water vapor from land plants into the atmosphere‚ causing movement of water through the plant from the soil to the atmosphere via roots‚ shoot and leaves‚ which occurs mainly through the stomata. Factors which can affect the rate of transpiration are

mangroves are linked to their ecological functions such as habitat quality‚ water quality‚ shoreline protection and aesthetics (Twilley & Chen 1997). Mangrove communities are characterized by higher primary productivity compared to other terrestrial plant communities (Lugo and Snedaker‚ 1974). Though standing forest biomass is not a direct measurement of primary productivity‚ it is often used for comparison of the potential productivity (Clough and Attiwill‚ 1982; Hutchings and Saenger‚ 1987).

task is to determine the ecological status of the Reddam House wetland; I will be doing this by testing the water in the area. I’ve chosen to do this because the water is a major deciding factor in the supporting of plant life and animal life‚ without the proper supply of water no plant life or animal life would be able to survive. I will be using Rand Water that will run a series of tests on the water‚ this will allow me to accurately read the results and interpret them to arrive at a conclusion.
