ADAPTATIONS * Define the term adaptation and discuss the problems associated with inferring characteristics of organisms as adaptations for living in a particular habitat. An adaptation is any feature or characteristic that helps an organism survive in its environment. Adaptations can be classified as either structural‚ physiological or behavioural. When studying organisms and relating the chances of survival to body structure‚ physiology and behaviour‚ biologists are always wary of inferring

all examples of organisms in the kingdom fungi. The kingdom of the plants is the second largest kingdom. The plants are very complex multicellular organisms. They contain chlorophyll‚ which helps them prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis in which plants convert energy from sunlight into food. This kingdom includes all types of plants like herbs‚ shrubs‚ trees‚ flowering and non flowering plants. The biggest kingdom is the kingdom of the animals. The animals are the most complex

Word and symbol equations ▪ Photosynthesis: 6H2O + 6CO2 + solar energy=C6H12O6 + 6O2 Water + Carbon dioxide + solar energy=Glucose + oxygen ▪ Cellular respiration C6H12O6 + 6O2=6H20 + 6CO2 + solar energy This is the same as the equation for photosynthesis‚ but reversed. Step 1 Explanation When animals respire‚ they release CO2 into the atmosphere. CO2 is also released by the burning

enough to drop out and fall seven miles attached to a taxi drop. They are pretty cheap now a days. Then I fell right on a beautiful patch of grass and was soaked up by the rich soil and was absorbed by the plant and was used for the process of photosynthesis. Then after I am stored in the grasses energy reserves a mean consumer ate my grass house‚ and I was all of a sudden in a slimy and gross stomach of a dirty consumer. But I knew I could escape from this peril. So I thought of the best way to escape

dioxide enters. I predict that the stomatal density on high leafs is higher than on low leafs. During photosynthesis the chloroplasts in the leaf cells synthesize ATP from ADP as a result of exposure to light‚ while oxygen is produced as a by-product of the photosynthetic reaction. Carbon dioxide‚ which enters the plant through diffusion via the stomata‚ is needed for this process (photosynthesis) to occur. When the chloroplasts in the leafs cell is exposed to higher light intensities‚ more ATP is

The Effect of Light Intensity The effect of different light wavelengths was tested in the following experiment. The rate of photosynthesis can be affected depending on the light treatment it receives. With the aid of DPIP acting as NADPH in photosynthesis‚ it was possible to observe the reaction as it took place. Samples were created with dark‚ 24 cm‚ 30 cm‚ and 49 cm light treatments. The absorbance was measured in five-minute intervals for each sample and recorded in an appropriate table

Carbon‚ Phosphorus‚ and Nitrogen Cycles By: Amy Gentry There are three importation cycles that the environment. The three cycles are carbon‚ phosphorus and nitrogen cycles. These cycles are part of photosynthesis. These are a chain that keeps everything going in the word. These cycles keep animal alive and plants and people breathing. Carbon cycle is an Importation one of the cycle on earth. You get carbon atoms from co2 then become carbon atoms of the organic molecules are making up the plant

INTRODUCTION: OCCURANCE OF CHROMIUM: Chromium is a heavy metal which is considered as an environmental pollutant (Nafish et al‚ .2012). It is 7th most occurring element on earth and its average concentration in the earth is about 100mg/kg. (Panda and Choudhory‚ .2005). Apart from its importance chromium causing serious hazards for those organisms and plants that are exposed to the chromium in polluted areas of high concentrations. Being highly toxic metal it mainly comes from leather tanning‚ textile
