A Detailed explanation Biodiversity! Introduction What is Biodiversity ? The word ’biodiversity’ is a contraction (short form) of biological diversity. Diversity is a concept which refers to the range of variation or differences among some set of entities; biological diversity thus refers to variety within the living world (here a habitat). The term ’biodiversity’ is indeed commonly used to describe the number‚ variety and variability of living organisms. From the above explanation it is

double-consciousness in the gym helped me differentiate community service from community engagement. While community service requires those who are served to take on a double-consciousness and leads to stratification‚ community engagement promotes mutualism and is a two-way street. The concept of double-consciousness is key to understanding the underlying politics and power dynamics behind many issues including race‚ service and taking responsibility as an adult. Without my experiences in the gym‚ I

make life in these high trees easy for koala bears. If a koala felt as if it was in trouble‚ it also has two opposable thumbs so that they can cling to branches and even leap from branch to branch to escape the situation. An example of a mutualism in a koala bear is the bacteria in the koalas stomach. This bacteria allows koala bears to get their food without dying from the poison in the leaves. An example of commensalism is the relationship between the koala bear and the eucalyptus tree.

(Molumby 150). This raises the question whether each species benefits‚ suffers‚ or remains unaffected. The possible interactions between different organisms are known as interspecific interactions. These include Neutralism‚ Commensalism‚ Amensalism‚ Mutualism‚ and Competition. When dealing with competition between the two‚ several things can happen. It is possible that one species may be excluded more than the other when one organism needs less of the limiting resource than the other. This is also known

Zora Neale Hurston‚ a woman of moving‚ “anthropological and folkloric field work” had taken the underground literature world by storm with her 1937 work of “Their Eyes Were Watching God” ‚ a moving piece of magical work for the life of the oppressed woman. With references to her own life such as Eatonville and the multiple marriages‚ I began to see how though there are traits of a non- feminist novel it does have the correct tones of feminism. Being as though the novel was written in the 20th century

and other substances like carbon dioxide react with one another to produce a form of energy‚ while at the same time releasing oxygen. The relationships between living biological systems and plants that produce oxygen have a relationship similar to mutualism. Living organisms release carbon dioxide which is required for plants to process photosynthesis‚ and in return oxygen is produced (Sutherland 2015). Without photosynthesis‚ there would be a dramatically decrease in the amount of oxygen present. After

The word "giraffe" comes from the Arabic word‚ "zirafah‚" meaning "the tallest of all."
