At one time Mount Lofty was a range covered with wildlife and landforms. Nowadays Mount Lofty Range is uncared for and unfortunately causing it to slowly disappear. There has been amounts of trees cut down for industrial purpose when they cut down the trees it takes away homes of these birds, and that means the birds have nowhere to live. There are only around five hundred birds left in the Mount Lofty Range areas that were once covered in wood. The woods are being cut down and that will make the

look at NaCl concentration, pH levels and wavelengths to determine which ones are more beneficial for growth of Russet Potatoes. In Lab 2.1 we looked at levels of NaCl in hopes to find the isotonic concentration for the potatoes. Plants do prefer hypotonic solutions. Plants prefer hypotonic environments because the water from its environment gets soaked up by the cells then is stored in their vacuoles. The vacuoles will apply pressure to the cell wall which

the mouth where gas exchange can take place (but only at resting). 2. Identify one specific use by your animal of the nutrient. The inhalation of oxygen allows the daily functioning of the frog’s body, whereas the exhalation of carbon dioxide allows plants to keep on functioning so they can produce oxygen for the frog. 3. How does your animal pass on the nutrient (in life or death)? The nutrients (carbon dioxide and oxygen) are exhaled and inhaled respectively through every breath the frog takes. Oxygen

Mystery at Rocky Ridge Farm Early in the morning of January 10, 1977, William McCarthy noticed something strange about his horse pond. He went out to investigate and found a perfectly round hole three feet in diameter in the center of the frozen pond; a pond with ice eighteen inches thick. There was about eight inches of slush around the hole which led him to believe that something had melted the ice. When he looked in, he saw what appeared to be a black box approximately one foot square. He went

Is bringing back an extinct species a moral or immoral idea for our environment? Many species that were once populous and thriving in our world are now gone and extinct because of poachers and hunters. Now, because of poachers, an increased number of different species remain on the brink of becoming extinct. The question is how can society help stop the extermination of various species? De-extinction could give us a chance to revive animals that have been gone for a long time and could benefit our

An experiment was given to the students of 11U Biology to alter the living conditions of a bean plant and see if it affects the growth of the bean. The hypothesis for the experiment to change the temperature of the soil to alter the growth of the bean plant was that ‘If the temperature of the soil in which we plant in changes, then it will affect the growth of the plant by having a colder environment equal to zero or very little growth and if the temperature exceeds the room temperature then the

precipitation that falls between 250 and 2,000 mm (Holdridge 1967). They have two distinct seasons: a wet season and a dry season. A dry season typically lasts between one and eight months while a wet season typically last one or more months. The plants in a tropical dry forest are less diverse than most environments, but there has been an increase in defense mechanisms against water loss such as increased toughness and high levels of metabolites (Lugo et

All organisms in an ecosystem can be placed in trophic levels depending on what energy source they rely upon and how they provide energy for other organisms in the food web. With the exception of life near hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean, life is always dependent directly or indirectly on the energy from the sun. In every ecosystem, there is an organism at the lowest level that converts energy from the sun into useable energy for other organisms. For example, phytoplankton are photosynthesizers

We are all aware that maintaining a huge garden and large trees in them require so much time and effort. Getting rid of tree stumps can be done in several ways.
