Lab Activity #3: Collection and Identification of Plankton at Lake St.George Discussion Questions 1. Phytoplankton are the organisms that were the most abundant in my sample‚ specifically from the Protista kingdom 2. I think that phytoplankton are more indicative of oligotrophic lakes‚ where-as zooplankton are more indicative of eutrophic lakes. I think this because‚ since phytoplankton are capable of producing their own energy‚ they don’t need the nutrients that eutrophic lakes offer‚ and they would

If asked to define a freshwater habitat‚ we would almost immediately think of water and fishes. While it is true that those two components usually dominate- they are most evident there- a freshwater habitat is in fact a community of not just plants and animals‚ but of microorganisms as well. Also‚ not forgetting in the mix the non-living‚ biotic and components like soil‚ climate and water. Include all of that along with the complex interrelationships among the organisms and the environment‚ and we

Plants are distributed worldwide in varying numbers. While they inhabit a multitude of biomes and ecoregions‚ few can be found beyond the tundras at the northernmost regions of continental shelves. At the southern extremes‚ plants have adapted tenaciously to the prevailing conditions. (See Antarctic flora.) Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of habitats where they occur. Many of the Earth’s biomes are named for the type of vegetation because plants are the dominant

Andrade Sanjines Paola Andrea THE FIVE KINGDOMS In the world there is a great variety of living creatures and each belongs to a kingdom. The five major kingdoms are: the kingdom monera‚ the kingdom protista‚ the kingdom fungi‚ the kingdom of the plants‚ and the kingdom of the animals. The kingdom monera contains primitive organisms. These organisms are very small‚ single celled and do not have a nucleus. They consist of prokaryotes which include species like the bacteria‚ archae bacteria‚ cyanobacteria

downwards. The major sources of thermal pollution are power plants and industrial factories. In most power plants‚ heat is produced when coal‚ oil‚ or natural gas is burned or nuclear fuels undergo fission to release huge amounts of energy. This heat turns water to steam‚ which spins turbines to produce electricity. After cooling the used steam must be cooled and condensed back into water. To condense the steam‚ cool water is brought into the plant and circulated next to the hot steam. In this process

..........20 Introduction Algae‚ singular alga‚ members of a group of predominantly aquatic‚ photosynthetic organisms of the kingdom Protista. They range in size from the tiny flagellate Micromonas that is 1 micrometre (0.00004 inch) in diameter to giant kelps that reach 60 metres (200 feet) in length. Algae provide much of the Earth’s oxygen‚ they are the food base for almost all aquatic life‚ they are a source of crude oil‚ and they provide foods and pharmaceutical and industrial products

One of the fiercest aquatic carnivores to roam the Earth and as big as 15 to 17 meters long it lived from the Late Oligocene to Early Pleistocene Era where the Megalodon lived in cold waters as the ice sheets have started to very slowly form from the cold waters of the Arctic but the Megalodon lived worldwide. Although being on top of the food chain the Megalodon also had competition which was the Odontocenti which consisted of raptorial sperm whale and squalodontis which were also apex predators
