Bio 112 Lab Midterm Prep Scientific drawing: Size of drawing/ size of object Size of Object: FOV diameter/ # of objects that fit across FOV Dissolved Oxygen: Temperature in degrees Celsius. The colder the water the more dissolved oxygen. Low tolerance values indicate the organism can only live in good quality bodies of water. Higher the number the greater the species richness and species evenness. Two populations with the same total number of species could be uneven; the even population would

Biomass is a term for all organic material that stems from plants (including algae, trees and crops). Biomass is produced by green plants converting carbon dioxide using light into plant material through photosynthesis and includes all land- and waterbased vegetation, as well as all organic wastes. The biomass resource can be considered as organic matter, in which the energy of sunlight is stored in chemical bonds. When the bonds between adjacent carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules are broken by

Introduction Mids-1600s and an English scientist named Robert Hooke made observations. He observed strands of fungi among the specimens of cell his viewed. Robert Hooke in 1665 reported that living things were composed of title boxes or cells. He then devised the compound microscope and illumination system and stated that microbes were a life’s smallest structural units were cells. Then in 1670s, decades after, Dutch merchant named Anton van Leeuwenhoek made careful observations of microscopic organisms

Air and Water Pollution Dimetrious Jones ENV/100 October 24, 2012 Katherine Fiegel Air and Water Pollution The two major elements that are essential to the survival of any living organism are clean water and air. Pollution is a major threat to these elements which in turn has made water and air pollution serious problems that are endangering the lives of people worldwide. Pollution is caused by contaminants being introduced into an environment which have very harmful effects on the

Food is expelled from the hindgut by peristaltic movement but also requires the pressure of more recently acquired food particles. The color of Daphnia adapts to the food that is predominant in their diet. Daphnia feeding on green algae will be transparent with a tint of green or yellow, whereas those feeding on bacteria will be white or salmon-pink. Well-fed animals are more strongly colored than starved animals. Daphnia have an open blood circulation. The heart is located dorsally and anterior from

Food-web Diagram Janice Spencer BIO/101 December 15, 2014 Food-web Diagram As defined in Chapter 20 of our text from week five, an ecosystem is a biological community and the abiotic factors with which the community interacts. In order to maintain, the energy must flow continuously through an ecosystem, from producers to consumers and decomposers. Trophic relationships determine an ecosystem’s routes of energy flow and chemical cycling (Simon, Dickey, & Reece, 2013). According to the
