they may even vanish from the ecosystem altogether. Similarly‚ over some time interval‚ other species within the community may become more abundant‚ or new species may even invade into the community from adjacent ecosystems. This observed change over time in what is living in a particular ecosystem is "ecological succession". why it occurs Every species has a set of environmental conditions under which it will grow and reproduce most optimally. In a given ecosystem‚ and under that ecosystem’s

The Effects of Motor Oil in A Controlled Freshwater Jar Ecosystem Introduction: “An ecosystem is an environment where plants‚ animals‚ and micro-organisms all interact and reside together in a setting” (Simon‚ Reece‚ and Dickey‚ 2010). There are two main types of aquatic ecosystems‚ freshwater and marine. The main difference between them is that marine ecosystems contain salt‚ which causes them to be undrinkable without substantial alterations. Freshwater systems contain nearly no

at high level breaches the enzyme will break down‚ and the reaction will never occur. This could kill the organism that the enzyme belonged to. In this lab‚ the reaction of a potato enzyme‚ catalase‚ was measured by use of bubble height. The two abiotic factors that we were using to test the catalase were high-low temperatures and high-low pH systems. For the temperature experiment I hypothesized that the higher temperature would yield more enzyme activity‚ and therefore a taller bubble column due
