Biology Notes: Threats to biodiversity in MA 1. Climate change: temp‚ sea levels‚ precipitation 2. Non climate threats such as habitat loss‚ habitat fragmentation‚ and invasive species and air and water pollution Fragmentation: often due to man (dams‚ roads‚ and general development) Elements of biodiversity: Species‚ ecosystems & landscapes Mammals from bats to bears Bats got the white nose fungus which caused the bats to die and the insect population flourished because the bats main job

representatives. Aside from the hard-to-classify Arkarua (a Precambrian animal with Echinoderm-like pentamerous radial symmetry)‚ the first definitive members of the phylum appeared near the start of the Cambrian period. The word "echinoderm" is made up from Greek ἐχινόδερμα (echinóderma)‚ "spiny skin"‚ cf. ἐχῖνος (echínos)‚ "hedgehog; sea-urchin" and δέρμα (dérma)‚ "skin"‚ echinodérmata being the Greek plural form.[2] The echinoderms are important both biologically and geologically.

Anisha Malhotra Prof. Lovett Lab Report # 4 Experiment 7&8 1 Bacterial Growth and One Step Burst - T7 Phage I. INTRODUCTION: These experiments helped us learn the factors that were involved in the growth of the bacteria that increased our study towards their genetic‚ physical and metabolic characteristics. We used Escherichia coli and Bacteriophage T7 to identify and analyze their identical life cycle and replication that was involved in their process of growth. As‚ growth for any bacteria

In biology species can become isolated from other species through a number of processes. These isolation processes keep the two species from interbreeding and producing hybrid offspring. There are five separate isolation processes that prevent two species capable of producing offspring from being able to do so. Ecological Isolation Ecological‚ or habitat‚ isolation is when two species that could interbreed do not because the species live in different areas. For example‚ in the wild of India both

Chemical Reactions Lab Introduction Four different types of chemical reactions were observed in this lab. Synthesis reactions occur when two different elements or compounds form a more complex compound as shown by equation (1). Single replacement occurs when one element replaces another to form a new compound as shown in equation (2). Double replacement occurs when two different atoms in different compounds trade places with one another to form two new compounds as shown in equation (3).Combustion

Pre-Lab 1 Assignment Quantitative Analysis of Biomolecules Biochemical analysis involves the characterization of biomolecules within a sample using appropriate laboratory techniques. There are two principal approaches: 1. Qualitative analysis – where a sample is analyzed to determine whether a biomolecule is present or absent. As an example‚ a blood sample might be analyzed for a specific antibody or a bacterial cell might be probed for a nucleic acid sequence. 2. Quantitative analysis
