to “Why Bee Extinction Would Mean the End of Humanity” written by Ishan Daftardar‚ Not only would humans be affected but animals a well. Cattles depend on alfalfa and lupins‚ both of which depend on insect pollination. No bees‚ means no milk or meat. The extinction of bees would also affect our fuel and clothing. Canola‚ responsible for fuel and cooking oil‚ needs bee pollination. We need pollination for cotton‚ if bees become extinct our clothing choice would become very limited. Due to the fact

Importance of Biological Aspects in the Human Species Adaptation One of the biggest unknowns that humanity has been wondering over the years was first of all‚ the origin and evolution of human kind‚ and second how we have been able to survive through so many changes that have existed for millions of years? That will be the topic will be discussed in this essay‚ an explanation of how the human species has adapted to the environment and for do that we must go back a little in history and see the process

4/10/11 James Ross Aftermath of the Invasion The introduction of invasive species into new environments is a problem that plagues the entire planet. Humans have been moving species around the world and introducing them into new environment for millennia. Many introduced species become invasive‚ disrupting ecosystems and threatening the survival of other species‚ sometimes driving them to extinction. Some invasive species‚ including some insects‚ seem to thrive particularly well in already degraded

while the reason behind dinosaurs’ extinction over 65 million years ago was because of a giant asteroid‚ the species that are dying out every minute of our lives are not just because of some havocs‚ but it is US-human (Al Gore‚ 2006‚ internet). We are destroying our world indirectly which means we do not just go and kill those entire animals‚ but what has caused their extinction is due to “Climate Change” that is the result of the Natural Causes and Human Activities. We used to look at how natural causes

A keystone species is defined as one that has a critical role in determining and maintaining the overall relationship of plants and animals within an ecosystem. If a keystone species is removed or declines‚ the nature of the ecosystem will change dramatically. Sea Otters — A Classic Keystone Species The classic tale of a keystone species is that of the sea otter‚ which was once found in abundance along the West Coast of North America. The story goes something like this: 1. European and

5. Human activity also impacts on waterways. Chemical monitoring and management assists in providing safe water for human use and to protect the habitats of other organisms Identify that water quality can be determined by considering: * concentrations of common ions * total dissolved solids * hardness * turbidity * acidity * dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand Water quality is commonly defined by its physical‚ chemical‚ biological and aesthetic (appearance and

The Sixth Mass Extinction The mass extinction of certain animal species and plants that is facing the Earth today has been compared to‚ although some scientists suspect worse than‚ the extinction of the dinosaurs. The annihilation of the dinosaurs was caused by the collision of a large asteroid with the Earth. This current mass extinction‚ however‚ is different than any of the five mass extinctions that have been seen by the earth because this extinction is manmade‚ not natural. With the search

Does Bubble Gum Elasticity Affect Bubble Size? John Ruan‚ Ethan Mann‚ Karina Orozco‚ Viraja Alluri‚ and Nathan Ashta Mrs. Brazel Gregory Middle School Team 8-4 PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the elasticity of bubble gum affects the diameter of a bubble blown with the gum. HYPOTHESIS If the elasticity of the bubble gum is higher‚ then the diameter of the bubble blown will be significantly larger because the bubble will be able to stretch farther

Endangered species are those considered to be at risk of extinction‚ meaning that there are so few left of their kind that they could disappear from the planet altogether. Endangered species are threatened by factors such as habitat loss‚ hunting‚ disease and climate change‚ and usually‚ endangered species‚ have a declining population or a very limited range. The current rate of extinction is thought to be far greater than the expected natural rate‚ with many species going extinct before they have
