Topic 2: The Ecosystem 2.1.1 Biotic: living factors or components‚ e.g. plants and animals. Abiotic: non-living factors or components‚ e.g. soil‚ water‚ wind‚ etc… 2.1.2 Trophic level: is the position that an organism or a group of organisms in a community occupies in a food chain. 2.1.3 A food chain shows the flow of energy from one organism to the next. A food web is a complex network of interrelated food chains. Producers (autotrophs): manufacture their

on preys such as tapirs and peccaries. Because of this‚ the number of peccaries and tapirs living in that area are kept to a certain balance. If the predators are lost‚ the populations of these preys would steadily increase causing there to be less plants in the area. Fewer resources could cause some organisms population‚ which depends on this source for food‚ to deplete. So if this keystone specie is lost‚ the whole ecosystem is affected. Not only is predation observed‚ but symbiotic relationships

available in liquid or granular form‚ and some granular fertilizer is in a slow-release formula. A numbering system is used to define the percentages of the three essential plant nutrients. For example‚ a 20-20-10 fertilizer would contain 20 percent nitrogen‚ 20 percent phosphorus and 10 percent potassium. Secondary nutrients and trace elements are typically listed.

Duckweed as a nutrient thief and bioremediator Hypothesis: This experiment will evaluate duckweed and its ability to remove nutrients and toxins from water sources. Thus‚ duckweed will kill the organisms that require similar nutrients‚ yet aid the organisms that would otherwise die to toxins. Specifically‚ if one was to place Elodea plants in a tank with duckweed‚ then the Elodea will die due to the lack of nutrients from the duckweed having used the nutrients for its own benefits. Furthermore

their hydrogen bonds break and shape change. This is also relevant in plants. When water is evaporated of leaves of the plant it cools it in the same way. This is also important as plants need to be a certain temperatures so that. Plants need to be at the correct temperature so reactions take place at the fastest rate and so they grow as much as possible. This is especially important in crops and agriculture Also for plants to grow at the fastest possible rate they have to have the correct amount

zone affects the physical and the chemical properties of the water and largely influences the organisms affecting their feeding‚ metabolic rates and reproduction. It also affects how much oxygen can be dissolved in the water and how quickly the nutrients will be cycled through the water. Oxygen is better dissolved in cold water because gases are trapped by water molecules at colder temperatures. When temperatures rise‚ the molecules move around more‚ and gases‚ such as dissolved oxygen are able to

Introduction Ecosystem is similar to a community. It consists of species‚ living organisms and the abiotic factors‚ their habitat. Living organisms includes animals‚ plants‚ insects‚ micro-organisms. For their habitat‚ they are the non-living nature which are soil‚ sunlight‚ water‚ precipitation. There are two types of ecosystem. Terrestrial ecosystem which is on the land and aquatic ecosystem which is under the water. Over-breeding is the increase of offspring of a species to a excessive number

Effects of Microwave on food and nutrients Raisins when cooked in a microwave produce considerable smoke Several studies have shown that if properly used‚ microwave cooking does not affect the nutrient content of foods to a larger extent than conventional heating‚ and that there is a tendency towards greater retention of many micronutrients with microwaving‚ probably due to the reduced preparation time. Microwaving human milk at high temperatures is contraindicated‚ due to a marked decrease
