organisms are subdivided into 5 major kingdoms, including the Monera, the Protista, the Fungi, the Plantae, and the Animalia. Each kingdom is further subdivided into separate phyla or divisions. Generally "animals" are subdivided into phyla, while "plants" are subdivided into divisions. Organisms in any given Kingdom maybe separated from organisms in any other Kingdom by many hundreds of millions, if not billions, of years of evolution. This book provides information about the five kingdoms of

the “O Horizon”, is also home to many plant species, which emerge from its leafy soil, such as the bluebell. Abiotic changes are those that arise among non-living environmental components. If the forest’s leaf litter was totally consumed by the Asian worms, the gasses given off by the duff would lessen dramatically. Another abiotic change is that the soil would become more moist, or even muddy, and there would be a lack of nutrients on the forest floor. A plant which thrives in muddier, barer soil

Chlorophyll Chlorophyll is a substance found in chloroplasts, found in the cells of leaves. They are used to produce glucose which is used as plant food and growing materials (e.g. cellulose).A leaf which is exposed to plenty of light will have sufficient amounts of food and will not need an excessive amount of chlorophyll. This enables the leaf to have a small surface area. It is also necessary for leaves in areas of high light intensity, and thus high temperature, to have small

Part 1: The Producers Go to http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/interactives/ecology/food_web.php Challenge Try to get two plants to happily co–exist. In any given ecosystem, most organisms will carve out a niche for themselves where they can obtain all of the necessities to survive. Often, different species within the ecosystem will compete for the resources that a niche provides. However, certain species live well together—symbiotically, parasitically, or by staying out of each other's

from page 231 of the following book: Hessayon, D.G. The House Plant Expert. London: Expert Books, 1998. Print. When it comes to watering plants, D.G. Hessayon, in his book The House Plant, states: Tap water is suitable for nearly all plants. Ideally, the water should be stood overnight in a bowl to allow it to lose some of its chlorine and to reach room temperature. This standing period is not essential for hardy plants but it is necessary for delicate varieties. If you live in a hard

Endangered species Extinction is actually a normal process in the course of evolution. To date, many species of animals have become extinct rather than the total numbers that exist. These species slowly disappeared because of climatic changes and the inability to adapt to such conditions as competition and predation. Since the 1600s, however, the process of extinction has accelerated rapidly through the impact of both human population growth and technological advances on natural ecosystems

Georgia Lab day: Tuesday Exercise 9 Plant Adaptations Lamberton conservatory Introduction Plants have many different types of adaptations which allow them to survive in many different ecosystems including ones which get less than 25 cm of rain a year and ones which get over 4.5 m of rain a year! Plants must be adapted to be able to gather the materials needed for photosynthesis- CO2, water and sunlight. There are many different ways that plants have solved these problems. The Lamberton
