Labset Five Worksheet 1. List five environments where you are likely to find microbial growth: Lakes‚ soil‚ oceans‚ tundras‚ deserts 2. How do microbes contribute to soil fertility? The decomposition that microbes take part in help release mineral nutrients‚ such as potassium and nitrogen‚ from dead organic matter and allowing primary producers the nutritional access. They also produce CO2 and CH4 to release into the soil and atmosphere. 3. Describe the growth you observed in each of your

maintenance and repair of damaged tissues. * Nutrients – the important substances which are required for nourishment of an organisms. * Living organisms are divided into two groups (based on the nutritional habits): autotrophs and heterotrophs. (i) Autotroph * Autotrophs – organisms that are able to synthesise complex organic compounds from raw‚ simple inorganic substances (water and air) by using light or chemical energy. These organisms manufacture their own food by photosynthesis or

fishing are allowed‚ it is only permitted within a certain area of the reef where the organisms aren’t endangered. This is why the reef is divided into two separate regions for the organism’s protection. The reserve is inhabited with various heterotrophs and autotrophs within different parts of the reef: The algal-mussel community (black mussel‚ Coralline) are occupied by the flat reef top area. The kelp plants occupy the outer reef slope area. Brown algae occupy the inside edge of the reef. Sponges‚ hydroids

was added sugar‚ corn syrup‚ corn starch. To the fourth bottle there was only yeast added and used as a control group. Balloons were then stretched onto the top of the bottles to catch any gas the yeast would produce to see if yeast is a heterotrophs or autotrophs. The bottle with the yeast and sugar produced much carbon dioxide because yeast eats the sugar to produce gas and make whatever the yeast is put in airier. When yeast eats sugar it produces a by-product which is alcohol. The bottle with

decomposer organisms! These simpler nutrients are returned to the soil and can be used again by plants. The energy transformation chain starts all over again. Producers: Organisms‚ such as plants‚ that produce their own food are called autotrophs. The autotrophs‚ as mentioned before‚ convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds. They are called producers because all of the species of the ecosystem depend on them. Consumers: All the organisms that can not make their own food (and need producers)

Chapter 6/7 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review 1. _Energy__ is required for transport of certain materials‚ movement‚ growth‚ and reproduction. 2. Define autotroph and heterotroph. Name the organisms that make up each. Autotrophs use the suns energy to produce their food. Heterotrophs consume other organisms to obtain food. Plants Animals 3. ___Sun__ is the ultimate source of energy for all living things on Earth based on the cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Protista. 2. What are the three types of multicellular algae? The three types if multicellular algae are chlorophyta which are green algae‚ phaeophyta which are brown algae‚ and rhodophyta which are red algae. 3. Are algae autotrophs or heterotrophs? Algae are autotrophs. 4. What organelle allows plants (and plantlike protists) to photosynthesize? The chloroplasts allow plants and plantlike protists to photosynthesize. Objective: The goal of this lab is to identify and explore common features
