8. How is the CAM pathway adaptive in a desert habitat? The CAM pathway is adaptive in a desert habitat because plants open their stomata only at night‚ when the temperature is lower‚ and the humidity rises. CO2 diffuses in‚ and mesophyll cells incorporate it into malate‚ which they store in large vacuoles. The stomata closes

Light Lab Report Introduction: Without light‚ plants would not be able to carry out photosynthesis (McKenney‚ Peffley‚ and Wilmington 49). Photosynthesis is responsible for providing the plant with nutrients it needs to thrive and grow. Without the proper nutrients‚ it is difficult for a plant to continue to live. Therefore‚ photosynthesis is necessary for a plant’s vitality. The goal of this experiment is to observe and identify the impact that light has on a plant. Hypothesis: If light

Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts‚ forests‚ rain forests‚ plains‚ grasslands‚ and other areas including the most developed urban sites‚ all have distinct forms of wildlife.

Australia Australia‚ to many‚ is known as a "classical country of immigration." All but about 300‚000 of the approximate 20‚305‚486 in Australia descended from immigrants who originally arrived with a settlement of British convicts in 1788. In July of 2001 Australia’s population consisted of approximately 92% Caucasian‚ 7% Asian‚ and only 1% Aborigine.(native Australian). Australia has an estimated net gain of one international migrant every 4 minutes and 9 seconds. As of September of 1999
