I believe that extinction is going to happen no matter what with humans or without. A lot of people are quick to blame humans for the extinction of other animals, but do not realize that we are animals ourselves and that the food chain has a vital role. Even though humans may have cause other animals to become extinct we must also be noticed for how may animals we have kept from being extinct. That being said about animals each one does play a role in the food chain and food webs. "A food chain shows

Ch. 5 Summary 5.1: Producers use photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy, which is then stored and used to assemble energy rich organic molecules that are used by producers and consumers. Photosynthesis has two stages, the light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions (the calvin cycle). Light dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. Energy captured during these reactions is used to synthesize ATP and

Name: ____________________________ Revision A student decided to investigate respiration in algae. Figure 1 shows how she set up her apparatus. Figure 1 [pic] The student completed the whole experiment in a dark laboratory. The student placed the algae in the boiling tube, filled it with water and placed the boiling tube in a water bath. Bubbles of gas were released from the algae, slowly at first then steadily. Once the release of bubbles became steady she placed the bung

Nucleus | Controls what happens inside the cell. Carries genetic information.In exams don't call the nucleus the 'brain' of the cell. That is not a good description and will not get you marks. | Plant and animal cells | Chloroplast | Where photosynthesis happens – chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll. | Plant cells only | Vacuole | Contains a liquid called cell sap, which keeps the cell firm. | Plant cells only | Cell wall | Made of a tough substance called cellulose,

is chlorophyll and it absorbs the red and blue light from sunlight that falls on leaves; hence, the leaves reflect the "green light" and that is why leaves appear to be green. The chlorophyll is part of a bigger structure called chloroplasts. Photosynthesis, a process in which plants transform solar energy into chemical energy, takes place in the chloroplast; furthermore, it is thanks to this chemical energy that plats produce seeds, grow and flower. However, chlorophyll is not a stable compound

is responsible for the primary production of organic compounds that sustains the aquatic ecosystem. Because they have plant-like features, they are capable of photosynthesis and the conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen and other essential compounds. According to M. Toner (2002), of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the photosynthesis done by the tiny green plants of the oceans “…account for about half of the carbon dioxide that

ECOSYSTEM- IS A SPECIFIC PLACE WHERE LIVING THINGS INTERACT WITH NONLIVING THINGS. HUMAN BEINGS, ANIMALS, PLANTS AND OTHER ORGANISMS ARE PARTS OF THE LIVING ENVIRONTMENT. SOME PARTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ARE NOT ALIVE. SUNLIGHT, AIR, WATER, SOIL, AND MINERALS, ARE PARTS OF THE NONLIVING OR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT. LETS FIND OUT HOW INTERACTIONS OF ORGANISMS WITHH ONE ANOTHER AND WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT. ROLES AND RELATIONSHIPS IN AN ECOSYSTEM A community of plants and animals that live
