Giant, giant was the only word i could use to describe it, nothing i've ever saw could come close to the height of this tree, it towered over me, swaying in the wind displaying its shameless beauty. Imagine me, but smaller and much more energetic. This was a really bad combination considering this: I could climb trees faster than a compulsive liar could tell a lie, actually this wasn't a bad thing actually, except i was curious, and as the saying goes: Curiosity killed the cat. Yeah, this was especially

One example of Mutualism is the orange Costus flower has glands that produce nectar, the Trap-jaw ants drink. The ant stays on the flower sipping nectar and scares away insects that could come to harm to the flower. An exmaple of Paratism the fungi attack carpenter ants and turn them into zombies,then when the ant dies the fungi can grow from the corpse. An exmaple of commensalism is the posion dart frog benefit by using the leaves of the vermiliad as shelter from rain and sun. The vermiliad is unaffect

These plants move towards the shore line to increase the amount of sunlight they receive to complete the photosynthesis process. By doing so, the sediment collected assists the prevention of erosion, slowing the rate at which land is lost to the sea. ANIMAL:

including grains, seeds, arthropods, and decaying matter, including vertebrate corpses. Like all ants, gracilipes requires a protein-rich food source for the queen to lay eggs and carbohydrates as energy for the workers. They get their carbohydrates from plant nectar and honeydew producing insects, especially scale insects and aphids. Studies indicate that crazy ants rely so much on the scale insects that scarcity of them can actually limit ant population growth. Carbohydrates means any of a large group

Urbanization is another leading factor to the sixth mass extinction. Brian Czech, in an article titled Urbanization, habitat loss, and extinction in nineteenth-century America, Holley 2 states, “Urbanization endangers species by replacing habitat directly and by depleting resources needed to support urban economies.” People are taking away these animal’s homes and replacing them with resources that only benefit humans and the economy. These animals are forced to survive without the resources and

When the seasons shift and the weather starts to get colder, the leaves begin to put on a presentation of bright, beautiful colors. This presentation of magnificence is represented by the temperature, sunlight, soil, moisture, and the shortening length of the days during the fall months. The changing seasons with their different climates and day length is what makes up the life cycle of the leaf. Most people think that what causes leaves to change color is the frost and cold temperatures, and

control, and determining if the fertilizer has accurately distributed chemicals needed for healthy plant growth. There are three main Chemicals needed for strong, healthy plants; nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen is important for the plant’s growth, and for the growth of the plant’s leaves, while potassium and phosphorus help the roots grow stronger, and healthier, along with helping the plant produce flowers. When looking at the box of fertilizer you will find a set of numbers, such as

Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to measure the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. The lab begins with adding solutions to multiple cuvettes, then adding either boiled chloroplasts, not boiled chloroplasts or no chloroplasts. After approximately 5 minute timed sessions in light, tubes are placed in spectrophotometer one at a time and the transmittance percentage is recorded for each test. Boiled chloroplasts are denatured, so photosynthesis cannot occur. Solutions in test tubes
