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. Having trees in our own garden is also beneficial on our end at some point. However, there are instances wherein dying trees can cause more problems rather than be beneficial to humans. In getting rid of an old and rotten tree, the stump should also be removed. In such case, getting assistance from stump removal in Brigham City is highly

It is estimated that approximately half of the species alive on Earth today will become extinct within the next 75 years and around 10,000 species/subspecies are presumed extinct every year . This is due to human impacts such as industrialization/urbanization in one’s habitat and hunting; the extinction can also be a result of the animals incapability of surviving in a given location, ,and or an increase of one’s predator population .By definition an animal goes extinct when the last member

the homeowner has planted some type of tall ornamental grass, such as pampas grass, in the center of the island garden. Around the ornamental grass would be planted a circle of the same kind of plant; e.g., salvia or clumps of catmint. A final third circle would consist of an even lower growing type of plant - for instance, some type of ground cover. I have seen other island gardens that consist of a bunch of blooming perennials, with no method to the madness. Shorter perennials are lost in the middle

affected by sunlight and temperature already. Living factors that may contribute or be affected by energy consumption are herbivores (animals that only eat plants), carnivores (Animals that feed on other animals or material of animal origin), and omnivores (Animals that feed on material of both plant and animal origin). When the plants are affected by energy consumption that means that there are less of them for the herbivores to eat and stay alive. If these herbivores don’t have food to eat and

growing here. The plant is an aquatic plant species that floats on the ponds, lakes and marshes with almost no root system. This animal eating plant feeds off of aquatic invertebrates, such as mosquito larvae, protozoans and tiny crustaceans. That is not the only thing that has been found in the plants traps though. Small tadpoles and newly hatched fish have also been found to fall prey to this carnivorous plant. The Small Bladderwort is Missouri’s only carnivorous plant. A plant eating animals is
