It functions independently. However‚ multicellular (many celled) organisms have various levels of organization within them. Individual cells may perform specific functions and also work together for the good of the entire organism. The cells become dependent on one another. Multicellular organisms

1. The science of biogeography is the description of distribution of life and the explanation of this description. The description is based on both time and space. This describes how things look and why they are there. It also looks to answer the question – are these features the same over time? Biogeography arose with the theory that life on earth is a non-random distribution. This is the most important observation leading to the field of biogeography. The study of biogeography includes many other

Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon Red Rock Canyon is presently located 5 miles west of Las Vegas‚ Nevada. It is 197‚000 acres within the Mojave Desert. The canyon is one of several in the state with the name Red Rock‚ this one is located on the east side of Spring Mountain‚ the flat land rises to a great colorful escarpment‚ formed along a fault zone (the Keystone Thrust) with several peaks over 8‚000 feet‚ and including huge cliffs and ravines composed of bands of gray Paleozoic carbonates

What if I told you that there was a place so harsh that only a handful of plants and animals can survive there? Well‚ there is and this place is called the tundra biome. This place is too harsh for most trees‚ too cold for large animals‚ and too isolated for most humans. The Arctic Tundra is among Earth’s coldest‚ harshest biomes. Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the Arctic and on tops of mountains. The Arctic tundra is mostly located in the Northern Hemisphere but in the Southern

reaches into Beijing. Springtime weather in Asia produces intense wind storm events that can pass over the Gobi Desert along the northern China / Mongolia. These prevailing westerly winds brings dust from the desert and trough suspension carries the sand dust via Beijing and further on. This threatens Beijing by a rolling tide of sand advancing on the capital from the Gobi Desert that is responsible for the massive dust storms every spring.

the development. Biodiversity is especially affected in the Tropical Equatorial Biome where biodiversity is very high. The biodiversity is high due to the climate allowing for a yearlong growing season. The climate has a constantly high temperature of around degrees‚ varying by only a few degrees throughout the year due to its position close to the equator where there is an overhead sun. There is also a high rainfall of around 2000mm a year due to convectional currents‚ also a consequence of the

order to maintain a fragile environment dynamic sustainability needs to be established. An example of a fragile environment is the Serengeti National Park and Jau National Park. The Serengeti National Park is situated in the Tropical Grassland biome. This means that it has temperatures are high throughout the year averaging at around 28OC. There are wet and dry seasons due to the movement of the ITCZ (Inter Tropical Conversion Zone). In the Serengeti there are long periods of drought during
