TITLE By: Brittany Bolling April‚ 28th 2011 Dr. Woolnough BIO 101 DO6A ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to observe and understand what occurs in a sample of pond water over the course of six weeks. Over the six weeks there were qualitative and quantitative data found and recorded. The qualitative data recorded entailed: Water color and smell as well as suspended solids ranging from clear‚ opaque‚ and turbid. The quantitative data that was recorded regarded: Temperature‚ pH‚ Alkalinity

1. People have also begun to link global warming to the sun in the last decade. The views of David Bellamy‚ a conservationist‚ and Dr Sami Solanki‚ the director of Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research‚ include that the majority of people are seeing global warming in the wrong light and that the brightness of the sun is directly related to the warming of the Earth in the last century (Leidig and Nikkhah 1). The sun is a popular resource for natural cause of global warming‚ but there are

Abstract Elodea‚ also known as Elodea Canadensis‚ or waterweeds‚ lives favorably underwater. You can find Elodea mainly in natural waters in North America such as ponds‚ rivers‚ or lakes. Elodea has expanded all over the world as well‚ particularly in Europe. This aquatic plant multiplies rapidly and grows in a variety of conditions and environments‚ which is why it’s considered a weed. Elodea is often used in aquariums to stabilize the oxygen balance. It’s a fierce photosynthetic which makes

The axolotl‚ AKA" The Mexican Salamander"‚ is a neotenic salamander closely related to the Tiger Salamander. The Axolotl is classified in the domain Eukarya‚ kingdom Animalia‚ phylum Chordata‚ class Amphibia‚ order Caudata‚ family ambystomatidae‚ genus Ambystoma‚ and the species Mexicanum. Axolotls live in deep‚ freshwater with dense vegetation such as Lake Xochimilco and formerly Lake Chalco. The wetlands of Xochimilco has a tropical climate with an average temperature of 23.7 degrees celsius and

Their necks can extend up to 8 inches. Mallard ducks like warm weather. They migrate for the winter so they can have source of food.Ducks dip their head down in the water for small fish and algae. This ducks roll in the eco system of the lake is to keep the lake clean by eating algae. They also help to keep the fish population stable by eating the fish for their food. The mallard lives in marshes‚ lakes‚ swamps‚ rivers‚ streams and ponds. They are mainly found in the north

Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from the freezing Arctic to the sweltering

other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism’s activities. Photosynthesis occurs in plants‚ algae‚ and many species of bacteria‚ but not in archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs‚ since they can create their own food. In plants‚ algae‚ and cyanobacteria‚ photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water‚ releasing oxygen as a waste product. Photosynthesis is vital for all aerobic life on Earth. In addition

eutrophication process results in the depletion of dissolved oxygen in the water provoking animals and plants dyeing because of the lack of dissolved oxygen. Eutrophication can produce problems such as bad taste and odorous as well as green scum algae in water bodies. Also‚ the growth of rooted plants may increase‚ which lead to the decrease on the amount of oxygen in the deepest waters of a lake for example. In extreme case eutrophication may lead to the death of all forms of life in a water body
