1. There are many ways in which human activities may lead to an imbalance in biochemical cycling: Something that the natural environment is unfamiliar which can harm the chemical imbalance. One of the many negative impacts caused by eutrophication and increased algal growth; is a decrease in the oxygen available, known as anoxia. These anoxic conditions have the ability to harm fishes and other aquatic animals. However, it is true that algae produce oxygen, but that is possible when an enough amount

Monera will simply not respire. Photosynthesis will not occur and therefore plant-life will perish resulting in Earth’s atmosphere having an insufficient amount of oxygen. This deficiency of light will affect how all organisms conduct respiration. Additionally, the conversion of light intensity to glucose, water and oxygen is regarded as a type of plant homeostasis. By being bombarded with a high frequency of photons, the plant will need a way to sufficiently balance out the input of light intensity

Did you know that raising cows and other animals are destroying the ecosystem? Me neither , until i watched the movie “ Cowspiracy “. Cowspiracy taught viewers that animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution, and habitat destruction. All of which are destroying our ecosystem. Animal agriculture contributes to species extinction in many ways. In addition to the monumental habitat destruction caused by clearing forests and converting land to grow

Humans, animals, and the environment are forced to interact with each other due to the cycle of the ecosystem. Green plants are the producers since they produce their own food. On the other hand, humans and animals are both consumers. Not being able to produce their own food, they are ought to use other creatures to survive. If a species could not find food, it would extinct. These food-haunter relationships led researchers to define the “speciesism” phenomenon---a prejudice or attitude of bias in

Two of the most prominent disturbances to trees are wildfire and bark beetles in the Northwest United states. Over the years, millions of acres of timberland and forest have been damaged or destroyed due to wildfires and bark beetles. Both of these disturbances are brought about by climate and stand conditions. The future forecast for climate changes suggest that there will be an increase in wildfires and also the bark beetle outbreaks. These disturbances affect the water quantity, wildlife, and

Introduction In the northern hemisphere, many oak trees deriving from hundreds of species can be found. Oak trees come from the genus Quercus. The flowers produced on oak trees are known as acorns. The Flowering Dogwood tree can be found in eastern North America, and is known as genus Cornus Florida. The flowering dogwood tree produces loose circular fruit. In the experiment, the effects of climate on primary tree growth in different genus that originate from the same area were examined. Two different

The Grindylows that inhabit the Black Lake has developed different mechanisms to survive the conditions in their environment. Through careful observation we have compiled the most likely combination of physiological adaptations for the Grindylows to thrive in their habitat. In order to survive in the conditions of the Black Lake, the Grindylow faces multiple challenges. Primarily, their living condition can be categorized into three phases; summer day, summer night and winter. During the summer
