and eat wild and cultivated fruit and vegetables. With a preference for coniferous trees‚ crows build their nests in woods or isolated trees at least sixty feet above ground. Nests are solidly built of branches and twigs‚ and are lined with bark‚ plant fibers‚ mosses‚ twine‚ and other found materials. Paired male and female crows share in the incubation of four to six eggs which hatch in eighteen days. Young first fly when they are about one month old. Frequently‚ at least one young bird will remain

Investigatory Project Chapter I A. Background of the study Radish is an annual herb widely grown for its edible fleshy‚ hot tasting roots maybe red‚ white or purple. Every part of the root or the plant can be used in different ways. The leaves and the roots are eaten raw in salads. Likewise‚ it can be cooked or mixes with meat to satisfactory attain its delicious taste. Aside from food‚ it is dried for juice extraction. Radishes grow in Asia‚ Europe and America. It was the favorite

many reasons to grow indoors over outdoors. There is the freedom to choose the location you want to grow in with very little constraints and the ability to control your environment and the growth of the plant are just a few. Indoor farming allows for complete control over the environment the plant is in. The controlling of the temperatures‚ light sources‚ CO2 productions‚ and humidity creates a stable habitat for the plant’s growth without having to risk outdoor elements. When growing indoor you

The types of wetlands which are located in Louisiana are swamps‚ levees‚ beaches‚ estuaries‚ barrier islands‚ and a variety of marshes (“Types of Wetlands” 1). While Louisiana’s wetlands are extremely valuable‚ unfortunately‚ they are at risk. Louisiana’s land has been eroding and becoming smaller and smaller causing the plants‚ animals‚ and insects which call Louisiana’s wetlands home to become

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects. Seed germination

It was hypothesised that as the concentration of NaHCO3 solution increases‚ as will the rate of photosynthesis until optimal levels are reached‚ then plateauing of results will occur. The hypothesis was refuted by evidence shown in the results (table two) as 0.5% concentration produced the greatest rate of photosynthesis‚ 3.10x10-3. Concentrations of 5% and 10% were deemed unusable as the agapanthus discs would not submerge‚ therefore the results did not enable a range of data. The results of

Caribbean Example: Ants and Aphids. Aphids when feeding on plants secrete a sweet substance called honeydew‚ this honeydew is loved by ants and as a result they consume it. In exchange for the honeydew‚ the ants provide protection for the aphids from predators such as Ladybugs. Both organisms benefit equally from

There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of the ground.

They are located between the polar regions and the tropics. Climate Conditions The weather of the temperate deciduous forest biome has four distinct changing seasons of winter‚ spring‚ summer‚ and fall. The seasons occur here because of the Earth’s tilt on its axis which allows

In typical circumstances‚ the roots of native plants absorb most water entering the dirt before it achieves the salt contained in groundwater underneath the plant root zone. On the other hand‚ widespread vegetation‚ poor area use‚ irrigation and modern practices have made it easier for salt to be transported to the dirt surface or to
