organisms that live in water versus those on land. How is the issue exacerbated by fish respiratory physiology? Although being endothermic allows for the potential to maintain a constant internal environment that can ensure the most efficient metabolic and protein functions, this adaptation is incredibly energetically costly. Coupled with this, water in particular has relatively high thermal conductivity (especially compared to air), this mean that heat is much more easily lost to water. Along with this

soon run out of fresh water to drink and many people will die of dehydration. We will have no other options then to either die on earth or colonize space.

Geography helps the development of a society because rivers allow natural resources and transportation. In order to travel, you need boats/ships. Also, bodies of water can contain drinking water and sea creatures to eat. According to Document #1, “Danube River”, by Kay, it displays a river and trees. The river can help with food and transportation. To add on, the land around it contains trading posts, food, and trees which can create weapons, boats, and clothes. Therefore, geography helps the development

Sports Drink vs. Water In a society where athletes strive to maintain a healthy life, how do sports drinks contribute to their well-being ? Sports drinks are proven not to be as healthy as water, but these drinks can offer an athlete the little things that make a big difference such as fluids and carbohydrates. Some only view the negatives of sports drinks, but what about the positives ? For example, in the article ,”Obey your thirst, just not necessarily with a sports drink, Jennifer Sygo states

polarity and hydrogen bonding. They are soluble in water, due to this as the alcohol chain increases the solubility of water will decrease which shows of an inversely proportional relationship. Their chemical properties consist of combustion, as this is true because alcohols are able to burn because the end product they produce is water and carbon dioxide. A very obvious reaction they undergo is dehydration of course since they break down and produce water. In this lab, three different types of alcohols

they push millions of gallons of water and sand that is mixed in with dangerous chemicals. At such a high pressure, this water and the chemicals fracture the rock and allow the oil and natural gas to be accessed by the companies that need it (1). The danger and harm that fracking causes is crazy! The chemicals that seep into the ground and eventually into citizens in the areas wells. There have been multiple cases where people have been able to light their water from the faucet on fire. On a family

The ocean is a vast and mysterious landscape filled with so many diverse organisms that we cannot begin to fathom the extensity of it. Though it covers around 70% of the earth, we have barely touched the surface—more than 95% of its system is a complete mystery to us. What many people fail to realize is that the ocean, like any other ecosystem, is extremely fragile. For example, look outside. What do you see? I see trees, a few people walking about, the occasional car driving down the road. Although

Colosal winds rushed against the house, causing the walls and floors to creak. Water rushed and hammered on the windows, resounding the fact that it was monsoon season in the Philippines. “Take this,” my grandmother whispered, passing me a handheld candle. “Thank you,” I whispered back, taking the candle and holding it up to the foggy window. It was difficult to comprehend how a week ago I was in the United States in the middle of a beautiful, sunny summer with my friends. Now, I was in the muggy

If a person is healthy and has no open sores or wounds, then they are

Describing Ocean Acidification Ocean Acidification is the amount of acidity in the water. The pH scale is beginning to drop from a base to an acid. The ocean is close to the atmosphere which causes it to absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide. This reacts with the ocean's water and creates carbonic acid. Each molecules of carbonic acid then releases 2 hydrogen ions that increase the ocean's acidity, Therefore it dissolves the calcium in the shells and disposed most carbonate in the ocean that
