carbon isn’t cycling through either photosynthesis or respiration‚ it reacts with water‚ in the form of carbon dioxide‚ to produce bicarbonate. The bicarbonate is a source of energy for aquatic producers such as algae and other aquatic vegetation. On similar terms to the formation of bicarbonate‚ when aquatic organisms respire‚ the carbon dioxide released from them in turn reacts with water to form bicarbonate. Human activity has also made a huge impact in this cycle. As humans continue to use

The theory of Ecology‚ meaning disorganized neighborhoods‚ is the theory that best explains the causes of crime. Ecological criminology was the first social criminology. This developed during the 1920s at the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago. Ecology is the study of relationships between an organism and the environment it lives in‚ and this type of theory explains crime by the disorganized eco areas where people live instead of the kind of people who live there. The major factors

living in an aqueous environment compared to a terrestrial one? Introduction: Plants are commonly classified to two main types: aquatic plant and land plant. They have different features to adapt the living environment. What by meant is that they require different adaptions to stay alive in their respective environment such as humidity and structure of leaves. Aquatic plants referred to as hydrophytes or macrophytes. They need a special adaptation to live in water or at water surfaces and the most

These plants may be totally submerged beneath the lake surface‚ floating‚ or growing along the shoreline. They provide food and shelter for bugs‚ fish and other organisms‚ prevent shoreline erosion‚ filter pollutants from adjacent shoreline activities‚ and

Ortiz‚ Charity APES Period 2 January 23rd‚ 2013 Chapter 8 - Community Ecology 1. The species of equilibrium model/theory of island biogeography states that there is a balance between two factor which determine the number of different species found on the land: the rate at which new species immigrate and the rate at which existing species become extinct. Native species are those that live and thrive in a particular community. Nonnative species‚ invasive species‚ and alien species are those that

there has been proven data that toxic wastes has seriously affected people’s health‚ inflicting cancer and breathing problems due to long term exposures. In the advent of modern technology‚ man has the influence to create a balance in the ecology in order to sustain his continuous survival. However‚ this has been neglected along the way in the pursuit of technological advancement. Fortunately‚ there are many organizations and non profitable bodies available worldwide to create the awareness
