The idea of an ocean’s surface with a red hue may seem like a very amazing phenomena but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Red tides are becoming more and more harmful to not just the sea life it’s consumes but to us humans as well. When we use pesticides and other man made chemicals‚ we are washing them away without a care of what happens next. In doing so‚ they are eventually ending up back into our oceans and cause these harmful algal blooms‚ known as Red Tide. Most of these algal blooms are toxic

Wolf Lichen (Letharia vulpina) Poisonous but also a healer. It is very abundant in Idaho but very scarce and hard to find in Scandinavia. Wolf Lichen is the name of this mysterious plant. It is one of many different types of lichen found in nature and varies in ways such as habitat‚ use‚ and appearance. Lichen is a slow-growing plant genus that is usually structured in a spindle or leaf like shape. Lichen is made up of two components; fungi and algae.(Hollinger‚ J. 2014) The Fungal aspect

The Neolithic and Industrial Revolutions The two changes in the use of the earth’s resources that had the greatest effect on the world population were the Neolithic and the industrial revolutions. The Neolithic revolution (a.k.a. agricultural revolution) was a change in the way of life of our ancestors. It took place about 8000 years ago among various tribes in Asia and the Middle East. It included a transition from foraging and hunting to the domestication of animals (most probably starting

ii. accurately interpret data and explain results using correct scientific reasoning As the data shows above‚ the more light there is shining on the plant‚ the more bubbles there are per minute. Although it dips from time to time‚ the experiment with two lights always have a higher average than the previous ones. This means that the light intensity actually has an impact on the plant’s photosynthesis levels. The reason that there are more bubbles in the experiments with more light is because

In this experiment‚ the class examined how the rate of photosynthesis was affected by different light colors at different distances in shoots of a Cabomba plant. The plants were placed in two different beakers‚ one with recently boiled and cooled distilled water and the other with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The three different color photoflood lamps used for this experiment were white‚ red‚ and green at four distances of thirty‚ sixty‚ ninety‚ and one hundred-twenty centimeters away

Some of the major diseases are NSP‚ and PSP which typically come from Brevetoxins‚ Saxitoxins‚ Gonyautoxins‚ & many more. The typical symptoms includerespiratory distress‚ allergic reactions and skin conditions 2. Explain how an HAB outbreak can have a devastating economic impact. The impact can be devastating because there

5.Explain how a Harmful Algal Bloom can impact an ecosystem. The toxins can be spread throughout various organisms as of humans and the food chain. If the consistent blooms it can block the light from reaching into the water and it can cause many organisms dead. 6.Create a chart or Graph showing the estimated economic impact of HABs on the United States over three years.

Thus‚ because blue light has a higher absorbance by plant photosynthetic pigments and has a higher energy wavelength than red light‚ we predicted that juniper needles placed in blue light would photosynthesize faster than juniper needles placed in red light. We measured the rate of change in CO2 concentration due to juniper needles. For each sample‚ we placed the needles into a chamber connected to the CO2 monitor and measured the rate of change of CO2 concentration for 10 minutes under red light

Lichens are a symbiotic representation of mutualism involving a fungus and a cyanobacterium or alga. Within this mutualism‚ that is‚ a symbiosis in which both organisms benefit‚ there exists a photobiont‚ the cyanobacterium or alga‚ which contains chlorophyll and photosynthesizes‚ producing carbohydrates for use by the fungi and itself. Also‚ there is a mycobiont‚ the fungus‚ whose symbiotic roles include the provision of structure and anchorage‚ protection from dessication‚ as well as providing

MODULE 4 Review Phytoplankton (Lessons 4.02‚ 4.03‚ 4.04) What are phytoplankton? Know that the 3 adaptations that allow phytoplankton to float are: cavities in the center of their cells‚ cells contain oils and fats‚ and spines around the cavities Are phytoplankton the base of the oceanic food chain? What things do phytoplankton need to survive? What percentage of the Earth’s oxygen are phytoplankton responsible for producing? Which type of phytoplankton are responsible for red tide? What
