In the rainforest ecosystem‚ everything is connected to one another. There is an interconnectedness existing in this ecosystem. To continue to function‚ the ecosystem depends on the interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors. An ecosystem survives by a combination of energy flow and matter recycling. To understand the interconnectedness of the ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food

HYPOXIA Introduction Hypoxia is simply a lack of oxygen at the tissue level of the body due to a decreased partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air. Hypoxia is serious‚ because it may lead to death. Diseases of the blood‚ the heart and circulation‚ and the lungs may all produce some form of hypoxia. There are four types of hypoxia: (1) the hypoxic type‚ in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the haemoglobin; (2) the anaemic type‚ in which

CIGARETTE SMOKE TO PHOTOSYNTHESIS Increased Carbon Dioxide Smoke of all kinds‚ including cigarette smoke‚ increases the amount of carbon dioxide where it is present (since smoke is itself produced via combustion). Plants use carbon dioxide to make sugars (during photosynthesis). Its increased abundance‚ therefore‚ makes it easier for the plant to obtain. Thus‚ smoking near a plant actually makes it easier for that plant to obtain much-needed carbon dioxide. Hampering Photosynthesis At the same

Photosynthesis is a chemical process that converts the sunlight into a chemical energy that plants store for later. Without photosynthesis‚ the world as we know it would not exist. All the plants would die and so would a major food and oxygen source. During Photosynthesis water is sucked up through the roots up the stem and to the leaves. The leaves take in carbon dioxide and begin to absorb sunlight. these things combine to make glucose and oxygen. The plant then uses the glucose and oxygen is

How does CO2 Emissions Affect the Ecosystem? Kenyetta Sloan Bryant & Stratton College Ecology Dr. M. McLellan-Zabielski October 24‚ 2012 What would happen if we didn’t cut trees‚ use transportation‚ even turn on our lights or any electrical item we own? Then global warming wouldn’t exist. The things that we do on the daily basis is what produces carbon emissions‚ when we burn oil‚ coal‚ and gas‚ it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The result of this is climate change‚ temperature

How many of you recycle? I try to recycle as much as I can‚ and I enjoy doing it. I recycle because I know that I am some how helping our environment and economy. Today I will be telling you about recycling and reasons why you all should recycle as much as you can. I will begin by talking about the reasons why most people do not recycle. Why recycling is important‚ and reasons why you all should recycle more in your everyday life. Reasons why many people don’t recycle. According to the article

Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants.

Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis. Therefore‚ in this lab‚ we desired to test
