principles to preserve our Philippine Biodiversity. Being responsible will be one of my major principles proven in all aspects we see. Our daily activities like “not segregating garbage” and “Irresponsible throwing of garbage” greatly affects the ecosystem that it causes major extinctions of different species or more like near extinctions of these poor creatures. Biodiversity’s relevance to human’s health is an issue closely linked with climate change‚ as many of the anticipated health risks of climate

Section 5.1 Assignment: Parts of Ecosystems 1. A. Take out the graphic organizer you made in the Guided Practice 5.1B 1: Biotic and Abiotic Factors. Make sure you have labelled the appropriate parts with the terms abiotic and biotic‚ and you have included at least four examples of each. You will hand this graphic organizer in with your section assignment. (2 marks) B. Choose one abiotic factor from your list. Imagine what would happen if you changed that one abiotic factor. Describe one

Carefully review the Grading Rubric before beginning the assignment. Read "Lab 3: Biodiversity." This lab will allow you to investigate how various organisms alter their environments. Additionally‚ it will allow you to assess the health of ecosystems based upon their biodiversity. Then‚ you will utilize this information and your eScience lab kit to complete Demonstration 1 and Experiment 1 on the Week Three Lab Reporting Form. Make sure to complete all of the following items before submission:

All of these things create what is known as a web. These things interact with each other in some way there for they depend on one another throughout their lifetime. There are many separate ways in which we can study biodiversity. These ways include‚ genetic‚ species‚ community‚ ecosystem‚ and taxonomic diversity. Biodiversity can be best number

Deforestation has important implications for life on this planet. (Science Daily: Deforestation) In Module 5: Ecology‚ of the class content‚ it talks about deforestation. It caught my attention because the problems caused by deforestation are affecting our ecosystem in ways that I had never realized. As a result of deforestation: * The carbon cycle is affected because a major player in the uptake of carbon dioxide is destroyed. * The hydrologic cycle is disrupted because trees play a role in the cycling

The sum total of all livings organism. The term usually is applied to the setting of natural ecosystems. * Biological wealth: The life-sustaining combination of commercial‚ scientific‚ and aesthetic values imparted to a region by its biota. * Biodiversity: The diversity of the living things found in the natural world. The concept usually refers to the different species‚ but also includes ecosystems and the genetic diversity within a given species. * Instrumental value: The value that living

deforestation‚ and other causes. This could really affect the world because other plants and animals depend on these trees for life‚ whether it be for food‚ shelter‚ or other needs. Large‚ old trees provide shelter for up to 30% of animals and birds in some ecosystems. Therefore‚ if these trees die out‚ we’d be looking at other species dying out too. It’s kind of embarrassing to see what humanity is doing to the other species of the world. Link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121206162519.htm

Invasive species are a major threat to the United States; mostly Florida. These species are the worst ones we have in Florida.“We are ground zero for the impacts of invasive species‚” says Doria Gordon‚ the director of conservation science for the Florida chapter of the Nature Conservancy (TNC) . “And our invaders are very good at finding new habitats.” Usually those habitats are around South Florida in the everglades. The mix of suburbs and wilderness around the area of the everglades‚ makes the
