Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activitity on the biophysical environment. Environmentalism‚ a socialand environmental movement that started in the 1960s‚ addresses environmental issues through advocacy‚ education and activism. The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total "long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million). (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report) This level is considered

Plant Sexuality BIO 210- 01 Plant sexuality has a wide range of topics about sexual reproduction systems found across the plant kingdom. Flowers‚ which are the reproductive units of angiosperms‚ amongst all living things are physically varied the most. They also show the greatest diversity in methods of reproduction of all biological systems. The system for classifying flowering plants was proposed by Carolus Linnaeus‚ which is based on plant structures. Plants employ several different

Abstract The plant Brassica rapa is a fast plant most commonly known as the field mustard. The plant itself particularly well known for its extremely fast rate of growth‚ making it easy to breed and cross pollinate several generations. Due to its ability of rapid growth it has become a favorite for scientist to test the theories of inheritance on. In our case we tested to see if we could affect the overall hairiness of different generations. F1 seed was ordered‚ germinated and cross-pollinated

However since the 1980s’ scientist have been breaking biological boundaries with a technology called genetic modification. Genetic modification creates genetically modified organisms (GMO)

"furry" nor "cuddly" their use does not anger the animal-rights enthusiasts. In terms of economics and public health‚ we need to know everything we can about insects because of their enormous impact on humans as crop pests‚ carriers of disease‚ pollinators‚ etc. But they also have a fascination in their own right. For instance‚ they represent the only other major group of animals that‚ with the "higher" vertebrates‚ have successfully conquered the terrestrial habitat. Insects and mammals have a vastly
