It is predicted that the removal of plant nutrients in general will result in stunted growth and death of the plant. If phosphurus is removed from a plant, effects will include stunted growth, An abnormal dark green colour, and a reddish-purple pigment excess amounts of sugars. Phosphorus is a component of the complex nucleic acid structure of plants, which regulates protein synthesis. Phosphorus is, therefore, important in cell division and development of new tissue. Phosphorus is also associated

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to make glucose and oxygen by using carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, water from underground, and the energy of sunlight. Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of the plant because the cells there have organelles called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a chemical that absorbs the energy of sunlight. The light energy, the CO2 and the water that the plant has absorbed in its roots is converted to glucose and oxygen. The plant stores the glucose as

Phytoplankton and Giant Kelp are two protists found in “Seasonal Seas”. Phytoplankton are the main primary producers found in the ocean. Spring is usually when phytoplankton bloom, which is known as the “spring bloom”. When too many nutrients are available, phytoplankton may grow out of control and form harmful algal blooms. Phytoplankton provide food for copepods, and they in turn are prey to jellyfish. This all contributes to the giant food web in the ocean. Phytoplankton utilize light and nutrients

Oaks are among the most genetically polymorphic forest species , hence their high adaptivecapacity 19 . These species are a carrier species and an engineer . They contain a significant biodiversity ( epiphytes , birds, insects, parasites and other symbiotes) and provide a low-acid, low-mineral soft humus that produces brown, neutral or even slightly alkaline brown soils 20 . Botanists distinguish two major categories of oaks 21 : oak deciduous whose leaves fall in autumn, sometimes spring ( red

For this activity analysis project, I chose the activity, “repotting a plant”. I chose this activity because when I was little my mom always had me help her in the garden, and I have grown to love the therapeutic feeling that this activity has given me. Repotting a plant has some fine motor movements as well as some gross motor movements. I think that this activity could be good for all ages, individuals with fine motor issues, cognitive deficits, and elders with Alzheimer’s disease (this may help

Why Are Resources Being Depleted? Depletion of natural resources means using too much raw materials in an area. Resources like forests, fish, fossil fuels, and healthy soils are rapidly being depleted and could vanish very soon. There are various reasons for this resource depletion. They are; 1     Over-consumption or unnecessary use of resources 2     Non-equitable distribution of resources 3     Deforestation 4     Overpopulation 5     Technological and industrial development 6     Mining for

The tundra is by far the coldest type of biome, as it is known for its low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Occurring primarily near the Arctic within the Northern Hemisphere, the soil may be frozen all year up to a few feet, which allows no tree growth. However, a few animals have adapted to these conditions. These animals include lemmings, hares, oxen, foxes, wolves, and more. Within the tundra biome there are two different types of tundra biomes, arctic

When individuals are asked to describe a garden in most of their minds they hold a snapshot of what they consider a gorgeous garden. When they are describing the garden they go to great length to describe it using images in the garden as points of references. Some of those images might be images that they can see clearly and some of those images might be images that others might not see or see clearly. However when an individual is constructing and handling the upkeep of a garden the garden will

Introduction The purpose of this article was to determine the effects climate variation has on the reproductive behavior of Sciurus Arizonensis, Arizona gray squirrels, and to investigate how climate effects the vegetation and availability of trees that produce food for foraging gray squirrels. Female gray squirrels, which seasonally breed for one day, depend on the food they forage to give them nutrients throughout their pregnancy. The production of food rich trees is dependent on rainfall variation

Earth is home to many diverse and mysterious species. These species thrive within their own ecosystem by adapting to their living habitats and food source. Though when human actions introduce new species to a foreign area where that species never lived before, this is called an exotic species (Phelan, 2013, p.640). Some of these exotic species normally do not cause a threat to the ecosystem to which it is introduced, however some do and these are called invasive species. Invasive species tend to
