Pollution has been a major problem in the world for decades‚ even centuries. Though humans have gotten better about keeping pollution out of the environment‚ pollution is still a very predominant problem. Ocean pollution is one of the less talked about problems‚ because mankind knows so little about the ocean. However‚ it is still a major issue. Oil has been a sizable cause of marine pollution. It causes problems to the plants and animals of the ocean‚ as well as affecting oceanic movements and even

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION The world’s oceans have largely been left out of the mainstream discussion of global climate change. Yet‚ as one of the largest natural reservoirs of carbon‚ the surface ocean plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle. Over recent years‚ human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have increased the amount of carbon dioxide gas emitted to the atmosphere and the amount that dissolves into the ocean. Over the last decade‚ scientists have discovered that this excess

Biology Project Autumn Brown 3rd block Mrs. Stephens More than 2‚000 years ago‚ Aristotle began grouping plants and animals into various categories. Although he did not consider the idea that different organisms were related by descent‚ he devised a system that placed these organisms in a hierarchy. Through classification systems‚ scientist have found it easier to find answers to important questions. This way

Millions of disposable plastic bags are used and discarded in Washington each year. A beached grey whale was found in West Seattle in 2010 with 20 plastic bags in its stomach. Small pieces of plastic can absorb toxic pollutants like DDT and PCB. Scientists have found that fish are ingesting these toxins when they ingest plastic‚ concentrating the chemicals in the food chain. There is a good chance that we also absorb these pollutants when we eat fish. The good news is‚ Washingtonians are taking

Then they are split based on their form of locomotion. * They live in moist environments -> aquatic environments or blood. * Even though they are single-celled‚ they are MUCH larger than Archae and bacteria (refer

Selenium is taken in through food chain transfer rather than directly through the water. What that means is that plants like the tiny planktons and algae absorb it from the water as they grow; they get eaten by microscopic animals and insects which‚ in turn‚ get eaten by fish and those fish by other fish. Each time that process occurs the selenium bio accumulates.(Wikipedia‚ 2015) If animals
