BIOMAGNIFICATION LAB REPORT AIM The aim of this lab is to model bioaccumulation and biomagnification through a food chain. MATERIALS 100 M&M’s Paper towel to lay M&M’s on 20 small cups labelled “zooplankton” 5 medium cups labelled “minnow” 2 larger cups - one labelled “eel #1”‚ and another labelled “eel #2” 1 bowl labelled “osprey” PROCEDURE The pile of M&M’s represents the phytoplankton population in a lake. The printed “M” on the candy represents the amount of DDT (in ppm)

For instance if you kill the wolves then the rabbit and deer population may rise without as high of predation. Another major point in his essay is that if we are going to prevent a species from extinction we must do it everywhere not just in one specific place.

Extinction of different species of marine turtle has become possible not only of predation but also because of the effect of modernization‚ development along the coastline‚ pollution and exploitation.

Module 3 Pre-grading 1. Four factors that limit the primate’s diet is plant defense‚ the reproduction status of a female‚ seasonality‚ and competition. Plants can use physical barriers to stop animals from eating them. For example‚ some plants will use thorns others will use certain substances that make digestion difficult‚ resulting in small quantity conception. Female primates who are pregnant require more calories‚ meaning they need to obtain more food. If they are lactating they require 50%

possible to remove nonnatives just prior to the arrival of drifting native larvae. This information coupled with the effects of temperatures on growth identified by Bestgen (2008)‚ could allow native larvae to reach sizes where they will be safe from predation and thus survive at higher rates. In other areas of the basin‚ Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (2010) biologists‚ found the highest numbers of young Colorado pikeminnow since 1991‚ likely a result of nonnative removal efforts.

1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between

An endangered species is a population of organisms‚ which is facing high risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers‚ or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. There are a lot of endangered species in the world right now. They are moving towards being extinct slowly. In fact‚ since a species is not declared extinct until years have gone by since it was last spotted. Tigers are among the animals that are endangered in Asia. The tiger is native to Asia
