Prairies: Change in Ecosystem Structure and Function Introduction Stretching approximately two million acres of land‚ the North American Prairies cover a large portion of the continent. From Montana to Oklahoma to Colorado and to the provinces of Alberta‚ Manitoba‚ and Saskatchewan in Canada‚ the Great Plains‚ having moderate temperatures and suitable rainfall conditions‚ provide a valuable resource to society. Due to the expanse of land and the varying habitats within the prairies ecosystem‚ the North American

Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

The Effects of Soccer Headings on Brain Structure and Function Although often overlooked‚ concussions could be one of the biggest injuries a soccer player could front in their career. Many athletes in contact sports focus on showing their skills‚ getting playing time and ignored what the body was telling them to do. Most of the times‚ athletes were brushing off the injuries because they were feeling normal about it‚ particularly in sports like soccer. Soccer was the most popular sport among children

Describe the key structures and functions of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic Cell (1) There are many organelles in the eukaryotic cell micrograph above. Some of these organelles are displayed in the prokaryotic micrograph and so‚ I have described the shared organelles in the prokaryotic micrograph section. Mitochondria The mitochondria cells break down nutrients which then creates energy. They act like a digestive system. This process is called cellular respiration. The

Ecology Essay African lions play a big role in the ecosystem. They are at the top of the food chain and are responsible for 85% of predation in their habitat. They prey on herbivores such as buffalo‚ antelope and zebras. The African lion’s biome is in the tropical grassland and their habitat is the grassy plains of the African savanna. Without the lion‚ the ecosystem would be unbalanced and unstable. The African lion‚ being at the top of the food chain‚ interacts with other organisms in many
