soil and obtain the necessary water and minerals stored at the bottom‚ and to help it grow. Its giant sized leaves allows for maximum sunlight exposure and its waxy surface cuticle of its leaves prevent the large loss of water from leaf due to transpiration. For the lab‚ I observed six leaves collected from six different plants growing sporadically around the school campus. Using clear tape‚ sticking it to the bottom of each leaf‚ applying pressure‚ and carefully peeling the tape off for an imprint

used for medicinal purposes. * Recreational activities (Camping‚ fishing‚ hiking) * ROLE OF THE FORESTS; a) Promotes Rainfall Large forests release a significant amount of moisture into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. As this moisture condenses‚ gradually precipitation occurs. If all forested areas are removed then rainfall will decrease which could lead to drought. b) Prevents Soil Erosion The soil is protected by vegetation in various ways;

sugars inside them. So water moves down the concentration gradient into the roots. The uptake of water in plant cells creates pressures against the rigid walls. This can also help non-woody plants stay upright. Water is pulled up the stem by transpiration pull which creates a negative pressure this causes the water molecules to stick together. Which

Climate In tropical marine areas‚the ocean is largely responsible for creating the tropical marine climate system.In these areas there are two seasons‚ the wet season and the dry season. The average temperature ranges from 25-35 degrees celsius.The annual rainfall is between 1000-1500 mm . The trade winds in this area blow all year and are moist because they pass

Rain forest are home to 50 percent of its species‚ maintain the water cycle and protect against flood‚ drought‚ and erosion. Trees plays a significant role in the environment and deforestation is harmful to humans and our environment. Deforestation poses a threat to the biological

experience a smaller root system. When a mangrove swamp is in a low tide‚ the trees roots will submerge out of the land curving down into the mud just like a human knee. Tidal ranges don’t only affect mangroves‚ but it affects the respiration‚ transpiration‚ physiology and physical structure of plants (User). Those roots can take oxygen from thin air in order to breath. Often mangroves develop under a tidal mode located in salt and blackish body of water like in Sine Saloum. Mangroves try and protect

Maintaining a Balance Enzymes 1.1 Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ meaning they are organic and speed up a chemical reaction without taking part in it. This means it has a vital role in metabolism where it ensures that the chemical reactions that make up metabolism can function fast enough to sustain life by lowering activation energy. Metabolism
