organisms need other organisms for survival. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms. An ecosystem maintains an important balance in order for all organisms within the ecosystem to survive. The balance involves carbon‚ food‚ nitrogen‚ oxygen and water. The sun supplies the energy needed by ecosystems. Plants absorb the energy and use photosynthesis to convert it to sugar. There are nutrients in the air‚ soil and water that keep the ecosystem growing and balanced. A biome is a geographical

Sexual dimorphism describes the often observed phenotypic or behavioral differences between males and females of the same species. Darwin addressed these differences in his first book “On the Origin of Species” and described them as resulting from “sexual selection”. Sexual selection is both different from natural selection and a mechanism of natural selection. Like natural selection‚ variation in individuals is the driving force behind the differences in their survival and reproductive success

Conserve Species A question that comes up frequently when talking about conservation is why. Why care about something small and insignificant to humans why waste time and resources?

Should a price be put on the goods and services provided by the world’s ecosystems? Every day there are parts of land that are being sold so builders can make buildings. Like new home construction‚ parking lots‚ malls‚ and even restaurants. But do people ever think of what we are taking away by building over certain parts of the land. What if certain species lived there and we took their habitat away. Or what about the swamps and the forest? A lot of things come with those places‚ and we use

It is a tributary of the River Thames and joins it near Lechlade. Many mills have altered the river by straightening and polluting it. Much of its upper course has been built over due to urbanisation and so the exact location of the source is unknown. It also flows through National Trust land. The River Cole had become very polluted and

Restoration Through Symbolism Restoration is a beautiful thing. Watching something go from nothing to everything is amazing. In the book Cry‚ the Beloved Country‚ by Alan Paton‚ restoration is one of the main themes of the book. I am going to talk about two main examples; a quotation from a character and the significance of a certain character. The first thing developing the concept of restoration is the character Napoleon. Napoleon was an allusion used in the story. He was a demonstrator
