Successful Gardening requires a skilled gardener is acutely aware and knowledgeable about plant growth-- how fast does it grow, in which soil does grow, how

chains. The starting point of a food chain is a category of organisms called producers. Producers are, in fact, plants. So, we can say that all the food chains begin with a green plant (or grass) which is the original source of all food. Let us take an example to understand the meaning of food chain. Suppose there is a field having a lot of green plants (or producers of food). Now, plants can be eaten up by a rat. The rat, in turn, can be eaten up by a cat. And finally, the cat can be eaten up by

ecosystem is and why it’s important to have a balanced ecosystem. An ecosystems is a balance of all things living and nonliving together in a specific area. For example, a coral reef is an ecosystem is contains substrate, water, microorganisms, fish, plants, and air. Balance within an ecosystem is important because without it will not maintain its stability. Every part of an ecosystem has a job to do, and when a species of an ecosystem disappears the balance is off kilter. If an invasive species is

TAXONOMY (From ancient greek: τάξισ taxis, "arrangement", and -νομία -nomia, "method") is the science of defining groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics and giving names to those groups. 5 KINGDOMS Kingdom is the highest rank used in the biological taxonomy of all organisms.

come from the knowledge that if we continue at this rate, then 30-50 percent of all species could be extinct by mid-century (Ibid & Thomas). Our text defines a biome as a major ecological community type characterized by a similar climate, soil, plant and animals (Turk & Bensel, 2014). I feel as if it is our duty to preserve samples of all biomes on the planet. We certainly have done our part in destroying them, so the least we can do is make an effort to preserve samples in hopes that we

Feeding Frenzy Every plant and animal species, no matter how big or small, depends to some extent on another plant or animal species for its survival. It could be bees taking pollen from a flower, photosynthesis of plants, deer eating shrub leaves or lions eating the deer. A food chain shows how energy is transferred from one living organism to another via food. It is important for us to understand how the food chain works so that we know what are the important living organisms

We know, from observation of ourselves, a casual law of the form “A causes B,” where A is a “thought” and B a physical occurrence” (Russell, 248). This schema is not only true for humans, but it is a detailed representation of higher up animals and plants as well. Every B is preceded by A, no matter the circumstance. The best way to show the correspondence is through “hunger”. When people that are hungry, realize that they are hungry they will more than likely find food to eat to satisfy that hunger

Joshua Tan Biodiversity in Leaf Litter Introduction: Biodiversity Species diversity is a characteristic that is unique to a community level of biological organization. The biodiversity in different communities has been severely affected by human activities. A community has high species diversity if it has a lot of species present in roughly equally abundant numbers. If it is composed of only a few species or if only a few species are abundant, then the biodiversity is considered to be low. If a
