Labset Five Worksheet 1. List five environments where you are likely to find microbial growth: Lakes‚ soil‚ oceans‚ tundras‚ deserts 2. How do microbes contribute to soil fertility? The decomposition that microbes take part in help release mineral nutrients‚ such as potassium and nitrogen‚ from dead organic matter and allowing primary producers the nutritional access. They also produce CO2 and CH4 to release into the soil and atmosphere. 3. Describe the growth you observed in each of your

This article is about quadratic equations and solutions. For more general information about quadratic functions‚ see Quadratic function. For more information about quadratic polynomials‚ see Quadratic polynomial. A quartic equation is a fourth-order polynomial equation of the form. A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. Monomial – is a polynomial with only one term. Binomial

maintenance and repair of damaged tissues. * Nutrients – the important substances which are required for nourishment of an organisms. * Living organisms are divided into two groups (based on the nutritional habits): autotrophs and heterotrophs. (i) Autotroph * Autotrophs – organisms that are able to synthesise complex organic compounds from raw‚ simple inorganic substances (water and air) by using light or chemical energy. These organisms manufacture their own food by photosynthesis or

Section 5.1 Assignment: Parts of Ecosystems 1. A. Take out the graphic organizer you made in the Guided Practice 5.1B 1: Biotic and Abiotic Factors. Make sure you have labelled the appropriate parts with the terms abiotic and biotic‚ and you have included at least four examples of each. You will hand this graphic organizer in with your section assignment. (2 marks) B. Choose one abiotic factor from your list. Imagine what would happen if you changed that one abiotic factor.

My two kingdoms‚ I choice to describe the likes and differences of‚ out of the six-kingdom system of taxonomy‚ are animals and plants. These two were also the only two kingdoms of the six when Linnaeus first developed the kingdoms (“The Six Kingdoms”‚ n.d.). There are several factors how these two kingdoms are different‚ yet many that show similarities‚ one would never typically think of. Below I will list some characteristics of each showing these differences and similarities. Plants are made up

fishing are allowed‚ it is only permitted within a certain area of the reef where the organisms aren’t endangered. This is why the reef is divided into two separate regions for the organism’s protection. The reserve is inhabited with various heterotrophs and autotrophs within different parts of the reef: The algal-mussel community (black mussel‚ Coralline) are occupied by the flat reef top area. The kelp plants occupy the outer reef slope area. Brown algae occupy the inside edge of the reef. Sponges‚ hydroids

was added sugar‚ corn syrup‚ corn starch. To the fourth bottle there was only yeast added and used as a control group. Balloons were then stretched onto the top of the bottles to catch any gas the yeast would produce to see if yeast is a heterotrophs or autotrophs. The bottle with the yeast and sugar produced much carbon dioxide because yeast eats the sugar to produce gas and make whatever the yeast is put in airier. When yeast eats sugar it produces a by-product which is alcohol. The bottle with
