our earth that shares the same species‚ climate‚ animals‚ and plants. There are actually about 150 different classified biomes today. The main biomes are Marine‚ Tundra‚ Desert‚ Savannah‚ Grassland‚ Tropical Rain Forest‚ Deciduous Forest‚ and Coniferous Forest. 4. What is an ecosystem? An ecosystem includes all the abiotic factors in addition to the community of species that exists in a certain area. Human populations depend on plants and animals for much of their food‚ medicines‚ clothing‚ and shelter

There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photaosynthesis. Oxygenic photosynthesis is commonly occur in plants‚ algae and cyanobacteria (Vidyasagar 2015). For example‚ the plant used in this experiment‚ Elodea‚ is an oxygenating plant that used in freshwater aquarium carry out oxygenic photosynthesis (Candace Berkeley Development Coordinator 2016). During oxygenic photosynthesis‚ water is oxidized and CO2 is reduced

This video “Xapiri” by Bruce Albert observes the xamãs Yamomami or the shamans of the Yamomami tribe in their spiritual ritual involving the use of a plant produced from the resin of the Virola tree. “At the beginning of time‚ Father Sun practiced incest with his daughter‚ who acquired Viho by scratching her father’s penis.”1 This is considered as a “sacred snuff from the sun’s semen‚ and since it is still hallowed‚ it is kept in containers called muhipu-nuri‚ or ‘penis of the sun.’”1 It is a hallucinogen

that consume primary producers. Such species are often termed herbivores. Herbivores may be very small organisms such as zooplankton that graze on microscopic plants such as phytoplankton; however‚ herbivores also include many enormous mammals such as rhinoceri and elephants. If significant numbers of the herbivore trophic level are removed‚ plant growth may exceed the balance found in the previous natural environment. For example the removal of herbaceous fishes by overfishing and the loss of the herbaceus

humans did not exist‚ extinction occurred due to natural causes. On this present time however‚ extinction of species are threatened by humans’ existence. Humans are the only moral agent; in which‚ it has the intellectual capacity that animals and plants do not have. Thus‚ humans are powerful and dominate over any species. Many practices that humans do such as: tree logging‚ environment pollution‚ exploitation of animals and others has led to many species being endangered to extinction. Thus‚ humans

means it can easily ionise substances‚ Many compounds‚ whether ionic‚ polar or covalent will dissolve in it‚ therefore more reactions take place while in solution with water. Often in organisms substances must be in solution and water is the solvent. Plants can only obtain mineral salts in solution and human digestion will only dissolve soluble foods‚ meaning large starch molecules must be broken down into soluble sugars. Also many organisms living in water spend most of their time underwater‚ yet they

burning” of rainforests has to stop. The deforestation of our rainforests is effecting our environment and us more than you may think. We get the oxygen we need from trees‚ forests protect us from Carbon Dioxide‚ and forests protect most of Earth’s plants and animals. We need trees to breathe and rainforests to protect us from harsh things that we emit from our bodies. Many rainforests help and protect us. “More than 20% of the world’s oxygen comes from the Amazon” (Fraser 2)‚ the Amazon is an immense

Dear Coach Williams‚ i’m writing to you from the Amazon Rain Forest. It’s currently raining and a little humid‚ but the animals don’t seem to mind. There are thousands of species of Animals‚ as well as plants‚ in the Amazon. It does rain a lot and there aren’t really changes in seasons. The soil isn’t the greatest in the Amazon. There are surprisingly many different tribes Here. There are many things to talk about after being here in the Amazon. There are a variety of animals in rainforests
