for Elk Grove. Biomass is an organic and renewable material that comes from plants and animals.Contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass can be converted to other usable forms of energy like methane gas or transportation fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Biomass is a good resource because it’s renewable and it’s a clean energy source. Also biomass can be reproduced over a relatively short period of time. Elk grove needs a resource like biomass because it is natural and will not cause harm

larger amounts of CO2 to remain in the atmosphere. But there are ways to solve these problems‚ or at least reduce the effects. Firstly‚ governments need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and promote alternatives. Plant-derived plastics‚ biodiesel‚ wind power and solar power are all things that are a step in the right direction. But governments need to enforce the limits on CO2 emissions for the polluting industries in their countries. Also‚ individuals can play a part by making lifestyle

1 Title: The Marine Biome #2 Biome Description and Definition The Marine Biome is made of all the oceans in the world. It holds many diverse species in animals and plants and since it is so enormous‚ there is some species that have not been discovered yet. The ocean is a mysterious thing because it is different in each part of the world‚ the climate depends on the location and the location depends on what species are located in that part. Australia is home to the coral reef‚ where today it is

revealed can be mainly explained by the presence of a unique kind of molecules produced by brown algae‚ the phlorotannins. Phlorotannins are polymers of phloroglucinol (1‚3‚5-trihydroxybenzene) and may constitute up to 15% of the dry weight of brown algae and have high antioxidant activity due to the presence of multiple phenolic groups (Koivikko et al.‚ 2008). These phenolic compounds assist the algae to overcome oxidative stress as well as play a putative adaptive role in defense against grazers

the question being asked was: “What is the water quality of the U-High stream based on the water invertebrates found?” The purpose of this experiment was to determine the water quality of the U-High creek. The data was obtained by collecting soil‚ algae‚ and water from the U-High creek and identifying the number and types of invertebrates that were found from the samples. The prediction made was that the U-High creek’s water quality was poor based on the first observations of beer cans and other litter
