ecologically responsible” Within an ecosystem such as ours‚ every type of organism has a niche in the food web. Everything has an assigned feeding level dependent upon what its source of food or nutrients are. First‚ we find producers such as grass and plankton who are self-feeders that make their own nutrients from compounds and energy obtained from their environments ( think photosynthesis). Second‚ are primary and secondary consumers who must get their nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their

in nature. The negative impact of acid rain is evident in ecosystems. Acid rain changes the PH levels of rivers and lakes. Animals such as fish are very susceptible to changes in PH and therefore are unable to survive if the change is too drastic. Plankton and invertebrates are put even more at risk. Acid rain in water environments can also affect plant life. On land‚ acid rain damages forests in high altitudes and also lowers the fertility of soil as important nutrients and minerals are removed from

Unit 10: Biological Molecules and Metabolic Pathways C: Explore the factors that can affect the pathways and the rate of photosynthesis in plants The following report is about the factors which can affect the pathways and the the rate of photosynthesis in plants. This report will cover what photosynthesis is ‚ the factors which may affect photosynthesis in working poorly‚ light independant and dependant reaction. An investigation will be carried out which will include the factors that affect photosynthesis

Plastic bottles‚ containers‚ foam pieces made from polyurethane‚ and fishing lines are showing up in whole or pieces‚ and are getting dissolved into the water‚ to be absorbed by plankton. So much plastic has taken over our oceans‚ in fact‚ that in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean‚ there is a gathering of plastic‚ debris and toxins twice the size of Texas (Casey‚ 2007) affectionately dubbed the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Ocean acidification is the continuous reduction of the ocean’s pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biological calcium carbonate minerals. Ocean acidification is caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. According to “Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem‚” after the industrial revolution‚ carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere has increased nearly 40%‚ primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation (Doney S. 2009). The increase of

Red tides have been an ongoing environmental problem for our ocean waters wildlife. Red tide is a phenomenon caused by harmful algal blooms that occur when colonies of algae (simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater) grow so numerous that they discolor coastal waters (resulting in the name “red tide”). These large algal blooms of toxic producing dinoflagellates (single-celled organisms that are able to form nutritional organic substances from inorganic substances) may diminish oxygen in
