We Should Protect Endangered Animals What we know as the circle of life shows that all living creatures are all linked together in some way. We as humans need to do our part in order to protect nature’s gifts‚ especially those that are endangered or threatened in order to sustain the circle of life. So let just take a quick second and imagine something really quick. Image you’re in a city walking around just like any other day‚ and you don’t come across a single person. Have they all died? What

Endangered Species Endangered species is a broad issue‚ one that involves the habitats and environments where species reside and intermingle with one another. Some measures are being taken to help specific cases of endangerment‚ but the question I have is should the Endangered Species Act be strengthened. The universal problem cannot be fixed until us as humans protect the natural environments where endangered species live. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is one of the most popular and successful

reproduction. Cuttings are taken from a mother plant in vegatative growth‚ and rooted in hydroponic medium to be grown as a separate plant. The offspring will be plants that are identical to the parent plant. Cloning preserves the character of your favorite plant. Cloning can make an ocean of green out of a single plant‚ so it is a powerful tool for growing large crops‚ and will fill a closet quickly with your favorite genetics. When you find the plant you want to be your "buddy" for the rest of your

“The Private Life of Plants: Traveling” was a useful documentary to help clarify my understanding on how plants manage to spread their seeds and germinate. I enjoyed watching the different time lapses for the species of plants and it helped me to see exactly what happens rather than reading it in a book or seeing a simple picture. I was amazed at all the different mechanisms plants used to travel around and not stick to just one area. I did not expect the pointy spines of plants to allow them to grip

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed into law on the 28th December 1973. It was enforced by the United States of America to protect critically jeopardized species from extinction‚ from a consequence of development and economic growth and the conservation of the environment they depend on. There are two main federal agencies that are administered to the act: the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A species is considered

Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration‚ or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product. This process is called photosynthesis. Temperature‚ carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis. Plants also need mineral ions‚ including nitrate and magnesium‚ for healthy growth. They

Many different plant and animal species thrive in the rainforest environment‚ but it is the trees that define the way we see the rainforest. From the air‚ a rainforest looks like an enormous‚ green carpet. The canopy very rarely breaks‚ with no gaps between the trees. Beneath these trees‚ there are thousands of different types of plants. Living amongst the trees‚ vines‚ shrubs‚ ferns‚ and mosses are many different types of animals. These range from the smallest ant to the carnivorous (meat-eating)

Abstract: Symbiosis is very important in the plant world. Fungus has a symbiotic relationship with other plants. This may help the plant through tough times‚ for example; droughts and long winters. There are many careers that study the problems of symbiotic plants. Symbiosis with Plants Symbiosis with plants is very important. Fungus helps the plant live through tough times. There is a lot of information available about symbiosis but there are also many unanswered questions. Certain careers
