Lab Activity Question How Do Abiotic Factors Affect Distribution of Organisms? Answer Along with food and shelter, every organism needs some specific environmental conditions to survive. These conditions, if non-biological, are called abiotic. For survival and existence and growth of every organism, certain environmental conditions are necessary. For example, sun, wind, humidity, water, salts concentration etc. Without these specific required conditions animals would not be able to survive

Exercise 28 1. Rhizoids serve to anchor the plant to the substrate and absorb water and minerals. Also, the rhizoid attaches the gametophyte to the substratum and facilitates the absorption of minerals and water. Anchorage + absorption. Rhizoids are nonphotosynthetic and anchor the protonema to the substratum. 2. Each pore leads into an air chamber containing columns of photosynthetic cells and facilitates in gas exchange. Unlike the stomata of vascular plants which close in dry weather, the air

Assignment: SCIE211 Phase 3 Lab Report Title: Sources of CO2 Emissions Purpose The purpose of this lab is to research and state reasons for the trend of carbon dioxide emissions from data provided by the Earth System Research Laboratory over the past 40 years. Introduction Fossil fuels, wood, and living organisms are only some of the things that carbon is found in. The Earth uses CO2 to sustain life using the Carbon Cycle. Plants use the carbon for photosynthesis as the humans release the same

is preparing me for what college classes are like. I am also learning a lot about college applications and what to do in my senior year. The most difficult task in this class so far was the very first lab that we were assigned to do in the summer. It was hard for me because I did not like writing lab reports and I am not good at them. I also did not like working with the pill bugs. My proudest achievement in this course was when I got an 84.5 on my midterm. I studied for a long time and was in fear

The most interesting thing I observed in today’s microscope lab was that I was able to view algae from a sample of pond water. The total magnification which I made the observation was 450. Been able to see algae just with the sample of pond water is amazing because whenever I see pond water I never think about what it beholds I just thought of it as water and nothing spectacular. 2. In the plant cell I observed the chloroplast organelle. My observations for the chloroplast organelle was that
