are much more sinister. A small percentage of algal species produce toxins that can kill fish‚ mammals‚ and birds‚ and may cause human illness. Other algae are nontoxic‚ but clog the gills of fish and invertebrates or smother corals and submerged aquatic vegetation. Others discolour water‚ form huge‚ smelly piles on beaches‚ or cause drinking water and fish to taste bad. Algae are the major producers of oxygen and food for many of the animals that live in these waters. Springs and summers are

Open Ended Explain why the concepts of limiting factors and tolerance are important in ecology. They are important because theses factor might help explain why the population of a species is decreasing or increasing. 12. Infer whether species diversity increases or decreases after a fire on a grassland. Explain your response. Increase because

of Dissolved oxygen found to be present in the lake water was found to be nil‚ hence the values of biological oxygen demand and the chemical oxygen demand were also found to be zero. This proves that water quality of Ibalur Lake does not sustain aquatic life. Bacteriological examination of water performed through most probable number analysis showed that MPN index per 100ml of the water sample were found to be maximum‚ presence of coliform bacteria was confirmed using EMB and nutrient agar medium

Restoration There are many benefits to living close to a national park. They are home to many animals and are a good way for people to go on hikes and get exercise. Sometimes the trails deteriorate over time‚ or trash is left behind in the parks. My Ecology Project is to go to the Morongo Preserve on September 30th and help restore the landscape and trails. I will help the staff repair trails‚ fencing‚ signs‚ and clean up any trash that has been left behind on the trails. I will receive‚ sign‚ and turn

shore of a lake or pond is the littoral zone. This zone is the warmest since it is shallow and can absorb more of the Sun’s heat. It sustains a fairly diverse community‚ which can include several species of algae (like diatoms)‚ rooted and floating aquatic plants‚ grazing snails‚ clams‚ insects‚ crustaceans‚ fishes‚ and amphibians. In the case of the insects‚ such as dragonflies and midges‚ only the egg and larvae stages are found in this zone. The vegetation and animals living in the littoral zone
