    Transpiration Project By Shelby Hyde Lab 030 Date Due: March 12‚ 2013 The Effect of Wind on the Rate of Transpiration Introduction: Transpiration is the process through which water is evaporated from plants. This serves many purposes‚ including thermoregulation and the diffusion of CO2‚ but most importantly creates a water potential difference which causes the mass flow of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves of the plant. Transpiration is accomplished through structures on the surface of

    dermis. When the skin is about to be damaged it shows signs of redness and warmth on the area. Skin gives protection against biological invasion‚ physical damage and ultra violet radiation. It also provides us sensation for touch‚ heat and pain. Thermoregulation is supported through sweating and regulation of blood flow through the skin and synthesis of Vitamin D occurs. As the body gets older‚ poor nutrition or disability occurs‚ the skin is under pressure of getting damage through pressure sores. Factors

    The Respiratory Rate of Goldfish Affected in Lower Water Temperature Introduction: Temperature is a key influence that can change the respiratory rate of an ectothermic animal: Carassius auratus (commonly known as a goldfish). The respiration of a goldfish will change depending on certain factors. First‚ goldfish are exothermic‚ as are all fish. Their body temperature is determined largely by the temperature of the surrounding water. They absorb energy from the water (and to a far lesser extent

    The importance of water in Biological Systems Much of the Earths surface is comprised of water‚ as well as much of biological systems; for instance‚ the human body consists of approximately 70% of water‚ and in other biological organisms this figure could even be 95%. This largely relies on the bonding of water‚ whereby two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom; hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force due to its high polarity. Hence‚ what is the biological importance of water?

In contrast‚ it is really important to identify their appearance time and how they interacted with each other as an adaptive strategy in human evolution. Bipedalism is the first human-specific phenotype in the evolution of hominin species. According to the analysis of some footprint fossils left by Australopithecus‚ this species had already learned to walked without their forelegs. This event occurred about 3.6
