covers more than 10 thousand square miles and is home to various plants‚ animals‚ and insects (Jonas 1). 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

- vascular plants with true roots - gymnosperms = “naked seeds” - cones/strobili - have seeds that develop on the surfaces of sporophylls instead of in ovaries like angiosperms - microsporangium produces pollen grains (sperm) and the megasporangium produces the egg - sporophyte generation is dominant - no water needed for fertilization – pollen travels with the wind Pine trees - monoecious (separate male and female cones on the same plant) - have

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

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. All vegetation and wildlife living in this biome band are extremely hardy and particularly specialised to survive in the Tundras extreme weather conditions. Typical

Temperate Deciduous Forest Biome Geographical Location The geographical locations of temperate deciduous forest biomes are in the eastern part of the United States and Canada‚ most of Europe‚ parts of China‚ and Japan. 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

sulfur and phosphorous cycle. Their main reservoirs are in soil and rock sediments. Sulfur enters the cycle as hydrogen sulfide and is oxidized to sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide and water vapor makes sulfuic acid in the rainfall. It is then absorbed by plant roots and turned into amino acids traveling through the food chain and released by decomposition. In the phosporous cycle‚ phosporours is released through erosion or mining. It is then absorbed by roots and then travels through the food chains and

of Bulimba creek is too high. With a high conductivity level‚ less oxygen will be dissolved therefore resulting in organisms not able to survive. 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

Block B Photosynthesis Lab 12/6/12 Introduction: Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity‚ water‚ and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen‚ they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If there
