Investigation into Succession in Sand Dunes. Scientific Knowledge: Succession is a long-term direction of change in the composition of a community‚ brought about by the organisms themselves. Primary succession occurs when a community develops on bare/uncolonised ground‚ which has never had vegetation growing on it. A good example of primary succession is that of succession on sand dunes. Secondary succession occurs on ground that has previously been colonised but is now available because

Cardiovascular fitness is the practice of utilizing and transporting oxygen in the process using your heart lung and organs. The practice of this can improve the pumping of the blood and oxygen to the body making it more efficient and easier to release oxygen therefore improving your exercising techniques. An important fact about cardiovascular fitness is the maximum volume of oxygen you body can retain is VO2 Max. There are many forms of exercising and practicing cardiovascular fitness. Some examples

Hydrophytes Hydrophytes are plants that live in aquatic habitat. Hydrophytes can be divided into two types; fully submerged in water or partially submerged in water. These plants can absorb much water as they live in water habitat. Hydrophytes have various features in order to adapt in the aquatic environment in terms of morphological and anatomical adaptations. The morphological adaptations are divided into roots‚ leaves and stems. The roots of hydrophytes may be absent or poorly developed as

It is no secret that exercise is important to an individual ’s physical and mental health. Physical exercise has been attributed to improved circulation and blood flow to the brain which results in improved overall health. The effect of aerobic exercise on one’s mental health is not as well understood. The increased cognitive benefits of aerobic exercise can be used to promote healthy lifestyles in all individuals young and old. We seek to find a correlation between physical activity‚ specifically

ROOTS * is an organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. * a part of a plant body that bears no leaves‚ and therefore also lacks of nodes. * is the beginning of the vascular system pipeline that moves water and minerals from the soil up to the leaves and fruits. FUNCTIONS OF ROOTS: * Underground (usually) * Anchor the plant in the soil * Absorb water and nutrients * Conduct water and nutrients * Food Storage ROOT SYSTEM: 1. Tap root system
