The Daintree rain forest was named after an Australian geologist and photographer‚ Richard Daintree. The Daintree rain forest is located in North Queensland and is one of the oldest rain forest. Rain forests usually have approximately 3000 species of plants and around 700 of these plants are only found in the Daintree Rain forest. This Daintree rain forest was added to the World Heritage List in 1988 on the 9th of December‚ which is why it is protected. Many plants and animals in the Daintree rain

*Commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits but the other is neutral‚ there is no harm or benefit. An example of commensalism is a flatworm attaching to the horsecrab and eating the crab’s food while the crab is not affected. Commensalism *Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship

Section 9-1 Review Key Ideas 1. Identify the primary source of energy that flows through most living systems The sunlight. Autotrophs use sunlight to make their own food. Organisms that can’t make their own food consumed the food molecules made by autotrophs‚ eat autotrophs or eat organisms that consumed autotrophs. 2. Explain how an organism’s metabolism is related to Earth’s carbon cycle. An organism’s metabolism is related to using energy to build organic molecules which contain

Women’s Liberation Since the middle of this century‚ women around the world have been seeking greater independence and recognition. No longer content with their traditional roles as housewives and mothers‚ women have joined together to create the so-called “women’s liberation movement”. While the forces behind this international movement vary from culture to culture and from individual to individual‚ the basic causes in the United States can be traced to three events: the development of effective

direct conversion of electromagnetic radiation as sunlight‚ into electricity). Solar cells do not use chemical reactions to produce electric power‚ and they have no moving parts. Most solar cells are designed for converting sunlight into electricity. In large arrays‚ which may contain many thousands of individual cells‚ they can function as central electric power stations analogous to nuclear‚ coal-‚ or oil-fired power plants. The conversion of sunlight into electrical energy in a solar cell involves

For my science experiment I will be testing if phototropism affects pea plants. The purpose of this is to see how much the growth of the plant is affected by sunlight. Many years ago the scientist Charles Darwin discovered what today we called phototropism. I intend to create my own small experiment except this time I will be using artificial light instead of natural light (the sun). The definition of tropism is "a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction from which the stimulus

its first two years of life. It has anywhere from about four to ten leaves or “traps” that open and close. The traps are an awesome mechanism in that they can snap shut in about 1/30 of a second. The trap closes that fast when it is in direct sunlight. If the plant is in a darker environment or if there are clouds present then it slows. The “traps” have prickly leaves and are triggered by insects that crawl onto and near them. The Venus Flytrap tries to pick out the right size prey. A perfect
