Keystone species play a large role in each ecosystem‚ they have the ability to alter their ecosystem or be the reason they completely collapse. Keystone species are the reason that many different species exist‚ these other species highly depend on the keystone species for survival‚ if a single keystone species were to go extinct‚ it is likely for other species populations to decrease. Other species benefit from keystone species in a variety of ways‚ such as food supply‚ shelter‚ or a water source

KEYSTONE SPECIES-BEES Elliott Chang Keystone Species are species that would affect our lifestyle and how we live if they were to die out. There called Keystone Species because in an arch‚ there is one stone that keeps the 2 halves of the arch in place and if you were to take it out‚ everything would collapse. Bees are like that. Bees contribute to our society economically‚ ecologically and biologically. They are the species that really make everything the way it is for us. Bees contribute

GROWN-UP’S ARE A DIFFERENT SPECIES Understanding grown-up’s is never easy. They hold on to things that were. They wonder what’s to come... and then they think they know everything just because they have experience! Really!! Antoine de Saint said: “Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves‚ and it’s tiresome for children to be forever explaining things to them”. For example: Have you ever seen a grown-up just after they got a new cell phone? They’re too scared to explore the menu options

Essay 4: explain what is meant by the term species. How might a single species become two separate species? A species is a group of similar organisms that can breed together to produce fertile offspring. A species is a basic unit of classification. Members of singles species have certain things in common. Firstly they are similar to one another but different from members of other species. They have similar genes and therefore closely resemble one another physically and biochemically. They

A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such an organism plays a role in its ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone feels the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch‚ the arch still collapses without it. Similarly‚ an ecosystem may experience a dramatic shift if a keystone species is removed‚ even though that species was a small part of the ecosystem by measures of biomass

They are likely to be in close proximity and this interaction could either be harmful or helpful to each organism. When the interaction is beneficial‚ it is considered to be mutualism‚ either being obligate or facultative. However‚ interactions between different species may take different forms‚ such as commensalism‚ parasitism‚ amensalism etc. Competition often results in reduced growth and/or lower seed production of one or both individuals or species when compared to the yield of either when grown

Over the decades‚ Invasive species have shown a significant negative impact upon the fabric of the ecosystem. Whether they are endangered or not‚ in-habitat species are making their presence known throughout the ecosystem‚ and such‚ throughout the United States. In fact‚ Invasive species have posed as a problem within society as around the early colonies of the 1800’s. The uncommon native-species are able to enter through different routes. Some are transported intentionally and others are able

M1. Explain why adult interactions with children are important part of supporting their learning Adult interaction is the key to measure a child’s development. It helps understand the importance of analysing children’s progress and achievement. All children are different and unique. Interaction helps children build stable‚ healthy and satisfying relationship and close bonding with their family‚ friends‚ classmates and care takers (social development). They learn to cooperate and work as

Linn English IIII January 14th‚ 2013 How Species Are Becoming Endangered There are so many reasons and factors that are causing all kinds of species to become endangered. Some are natural causes but others are caused by mankind. Species have been coming endangered or sometimes extinct since the beginning of time. Mankind wasn’t such a huge factor until we started to develop more and more as time continued to go on. Almost 99% of threatened species are at risk of being extinct because of human
