Within 5°N and S of the equator * Climate, limiting factors: High rainfall(2000-5000 mm yr-1), high temperatures( 26-28°) and high insolation, P>E rain washes nutrients out of the soil, so nutrients may limit plant growth * Structure: amazingly high levels of biodiversity: plants compete for light thus growing tall to absorb it, so there is a multi-storey profile to the forests called stratification. Many niches and habitat for animals and large mammals can get enough food * Net productivity:

as the data would depend on how long it took for the seeds to take root and grow. The seeds will be selected based on how they look. They will need to be a bright green, oval in shape, and have a creamy white hilum. Amount of water given to the plants If each set of beans had differing amounts of water, the seeds with less water might not have evenly distributed water for all the

processes (specifically, photosynthesis). Virtually all the energy you use was created by biological processes. (Oil and coal are both ultimately derived from plant matter.) D. Biology connects to my life due to many factors; for one my school is almost completely surrounded by a swamp in which, occasionally, I see its various organisms and plant species. Another way biology connects to my everyday life is the bread I eat, in which before it’s made into a sandwich (or even into bread for that matter)

Madagascar. One reason why deforestation is occurring is just based on natural causes, such as forest fires that at times are useful but other times become a problem when the happen in the wrong areas, droughts that are never good because it causes plants and animals to lose their food sources and eventually vanish. The second mainly occurs when farmers next to the forests cut down acres of trees to get more land for them to grow their crops and feed their farm animals. They usually do this because

Endangered Species Our planet earth has produced many wonderful and bewildering things. Our planet was once lush of vegetation, plants and amazing animals. There are numerous plants and animals that are now extinct, either due to natural selection, climate change, or urbanization. Knowing this, we should not take advantage of what earth has to offer, this includes animals that are now endangered species. According to Richard T. Wright, “endangered species is a species that has been reduced to

The Manufacturing Plants Applichem has four plants spread across US, Europe and Asia. Their nature and performance is discussed below and summarized in Table (1) : Gary Plant It is the company's first large manufacturing facility.

Plant pigments and the absorption spectrum relate to photosynthesis because there are various pigments in a plant and this is because of each absorbing light more or less in different parts of the spectrum. Plants have the tendency to absorb all of the colors in the light spectrum.
