A Biome is a large natural area on Earth where specific types of plants and vegetation grow. (Kalman‚ 1997). It is a large area where the form of life of climatic vegetation is uniform and also reflects the key features of the climate which also maps out the structural form and nature of the habitat for animals. (Odum‚ 1997). The climate‚ soil-types and animal life are all constituents of a Biome. There can be numerous ecosystems in any single Biome. This is due to the fact that there are many different

What conditions of light and CO2 (both colour and intensity) would you suggest this student use to optimize the growth of this water plant? The conditions of CO2 and light that I would suggest a student to use would be blue light and having the CO2 levels at 7.5 along with the intensity of the light being at 7.5 also because this would allow the plant to intake good colours of the light spectrum and it would allow a good amount of intake of carbon dioxide and if the intensity of the light

The ability of these plants to survive without water for a long period of time is its adaptation character. How does this adaptation help it survive? These plants are desert plants where water is not abundant so they adapt to their environment. It cannot store water so it folds up its stems into a tight ball as it goes into a state of dormancy. The folded plant has a limited surface

a biological environment consisting of all the organisms living in a particular area‚ as well as all the nonliving or abiotic‚ physical components of the environment with which the organisms interact‚ such as air‚ soil‚ water and sunlight. In a typical ecosystem‚ plants and other photosynthetic organisms are the producers that provide the food.

the most profound things I have ever reflected on. Within these children we plant tiny seeds each day. We plants seeds that we trust will help our children grow into strong adults. In order for them to grow into strong adults they will need deep roots… roots that are sunk in the soil of self confidence and strong values and beliefs. Each day we must water them with hope‚ kindness‚ and love. We must feed the plants with the nutrients of knowledge‚ character‚ and dedication. We must care for

Woodlands have more biodiversity than any other habitat in Britain. Trees are home to a huge number of other plants‚ insects‚ fungi‚ mosses‚ litchins‚ birds and small animals‚ which all provide food for other animals higher up the food chain.
