which all living things on Earth exists. Climatograph: A graph of climate data for a specific region. Ecosystem: a part of a biome in which abiotic components interact with biotic components. Biodiversity: the variety of all living species of plants, animals, and micro-organisms on Earth. Niche: The special role an organism plays in an ecosystem, including the way in which it contributes to and fits into environment. Structural adaptations: a physical feature of an organism’s body having a

bring many nutrients to them through the flow of the water as well as the decay of the leaves that contain some of the nutrients of the tree it once was a part of. They are also capable of living inside plants and animals. Also aiding in the decomposition and fertilization, fungi help decompose plant and animal materials (i.e. waste, flesh, etc.). My hypothesis: I hypothesize that fungi grow in dark areas with water sources and other miscellaneous animal traffic due to the independence from the

Chris Lemmon was the garden’s caretaker. It had been his job to mulch in the spring, trimming the trees and bushes so new buds could emerge and in the fall he collected the dead and withered leaves and branches that had been disregarded by various plants and trees. He loved the rhythm of the seasons that his job revolved around. His family had taken care of this place for 3 generations. The powerful McAlester family had once owned the property, but feeling intruded on by the various members of plebeian

Early farmers picked up some fruit of wild plants to home, eat them, and spited out the bigger seeds or defecated the tiny size seeds to human latrines. And then the seeds germinated in the early lab. But the key points were how the early farmers decided to pick up which fruit? It’s not hard to make some hypothesis: Fruit size: Strawberry, early farmers went into thorny thicket amid the mosquitoes on a hot, humid day to pick up strawberry; the only criterion is the size. The early farmer would

When plants work alone, they can only achieve that much. But when plants work side by side with some type of fungus or bacteria, they can go much further! With the aid of both organism, the plants may survive living in the harshest condition possible. Let us dwell into the synergy of plant with both microorganism to learn how do this cooperation happen. Knowing fungus and bacteria Fungus and bacteria both are types of microorganism, that is very fine to the naked eye. However, fungus

the shortest season of all. Do to the terrible weather and climate in the tundra their animals and plant life is very limited. This artic tundra is mainly formed by permafrost, “a layer of permanently frozen subsoil in the ground. Putting frozen ground and flat landscape stops the drainage of water. As the water is being held up on the surface it makes ponds and bogs that give moisture for the plants, or countering the low precipitation. “The periodic freezing and thawing of the soil forms cracks

little vegetation. The only living organisms that we found were Ants Worms Plant Data collected At first we grabbed every living organism we saw and we put them inside the zip block. This example was taken to the laboratory for the checkout. Then we put them in a balance to measure the weight.: Table #1: Data collected from observation Spices | Number of individual | Weight for individuals (gr) | Plants | 1 | 0.07 | Worm | 1 | 0.10 | Ants | 3 | 1.99 | From this 3 spices that

I chose plants as my topic for my science project. The book Horticulture was my main resource outside of just plain knowledge. I had only 1 measurement which was the height of the plant. My hypothesis is that the plant with the water would grow the fastest and tallest, because that’s what I’m simply use to. The materials that I needed was very easy to come by. 1st. I needed to get 3 pots to put them in, which I chose 16oz plastic cups. 2nd. I had to find soil(dirt) and seeds to start my project

Biotic Component Paper The ecosystem consists of functional systems which includes the organisms of natural communities within an environment (Jones, 2008). The human race would not exist if it was not for natural resources, such as plants, water, food, etc. The health and sustainability of our ecosystem have been negatively impacted due to everyday poor decision making. Therefore, groups, such as Virginia Conservation Network, represents more than 100 non-profits and community organizations

quantity of life it holds. Partially all the worlds’ plants and animals inhabit there. Tree trunks are proven to hold at least forty-three species of ants in the rainforest. Each day, scientists are discovering additional foliage and animals in the temperate rainforest. Numerous people deem that the rainforests multiplicity is due to the closeness of its positioning to the equator. It is stated that the farther a location is from the equator, the fewer plant and animals exists. The temperate rainforest
