Geoff Hibbs May 4‚ 2012 Primary Succession & Species Diversity of Flora on Mount St. Helens‚ 32 Years PostEruption On May 18 1980‚ Mount St. Helens‚ a stratovolcano in western Washington‚ erupted. The eruption scoured the slopes of the volcano removing vegetation and soil from the vicinity of the mountain. 32 years after the eruption‚ vegetation has returned to the mountain. The author’s main interest in this field is the methods by which vascular plants re-establish themselves after cataclysmic

To what extent was The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) intended to be a distinctive ethical teaching for all people? Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount is one of the 5 main blocks of teaching in the gospel- emulating Torah. ‘Without our noticing‚ faith can degenerate into religiosity...That is when the teaching of Jesus brings us up with a jerk.’[1] The sermon presents the reader with a radical teaching from Jesus‚ completely divergent to any preceding teaching in Judaism; it offers a stark contrast

By breaking down dead organic material‚ they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems. In addition‚ most vascular plants could not grow without the symbiotic fungi‚ or mycorrhizae‚ that inhabit their roots and supply essential nutrients. Other fungi provide numerous drugs such as penicillin and other antibiotics

Microorganisms can be prokaryotic—the bacteria or eukaryotic—the algae‚ protozoa or fungi. While viruses are acellular they are also studied in the scope of microbiology because they are small and because they infect cells. While most bacterial are unicellular they can also exist in colonial or multicellular forms. In this laboratory

When comparing the sample to the wet mount slides‚ they look very similar. However in the staining methods‚ the cells and their borders were very distinct while the one in the wet mounts were not as distinct. It was a bit challenging to determine the figures in the cheek smear‚ but the bacteria form in the yeast wet mount were easily recognized. The direct staining was the following technique used. The cells were very easy to assess‚ well demarcated and had a very distinctive color. Instead
