aluminum to be leached from the soil and rocks and it is then carried into the lakes where aquatic life may be affected . The effects of acid rain also inhibit plant germination and reproduction. As the pH reaches 5.5‚ plankton‚ certain insects and crustaceans begin to die. At a pH of around 5.0‚ the fish population also begins to die. All living organisms are interdependent on each other.

“A Single Spark Can Start a Fire” (Reaction Paper) I believe that we do not lack awareness. We just tend to continue living like hermit crabs that enclose themselves in their shells. But unlike these crustacean fellows‚ we do not use our shells for protection. We use them for avoidance. We do not want to get involved in the harsh truths that our environment is facing. We would rather isolate our senses from the reality regarding the present state of earth. Covering our ears‚ shutting our eyes

INTRODUCTION Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization. In animals‚ parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell and is a component process of apomixis. The word parthenogenesis comes from the Greek‚ parthenos‚ meaning "virgin" and genesis‚ meaning "birth".[1] The term is sometimes used inaccurately to describe reproduction modes in hermaphroditic species that can reproduce by themselves

They anchor themselves with their prehensile tails to sea grasses and corals‚ using their elongated snouts to suck in plankton and small crustaceans that drift by. Voracious eaters‚ they graze continually and can consume 3‚000 or more brine shrimp per day. The sexes in sea horses have well defined characteristics. The male will have a smooth soft pouch like area at the base of

pterosaurs with unusually long‚ stiffened necks. The Quetzalcoatlus was first discovered in Texas in 1971 by geology graduate student Douglas A. Lawson. The feeding habits of Quetzalcoatlus are controversial. Originally‚ it was assumed to catch fish and crustaceans‚ like most other pterosaurs‚ until it was realized that it lived 248 miles from any shore during the Cretaceous period‚ and that there was no evidence for an inland water source for miles around. Lawson‚ in 1975‚ rejected the fish eating hypothesis

MARINE GROWTH PREVENTION SYSTEM AIM: To prevent fouling and growth of marine organisms in the pipe lines which are in contact with sea water. What is Marine Growth: Ships while sailing use seawater for several purposes. The seawater is used in the ship’s system and discharged after the use. However‚ seawater contains several marine organisms which enter the ship along with the seawater and deposit and flourish on the parts of the ship’s system. If preventive
