4-3 Milestone Two: Biological Concepts Outline Global Warming/Climate Change Biology 120 Melissa Sanchez 23 September 2023
Biological Concepts: Level of Organization The topic I chose for my final presentation is climate change/ global warming. This topic is remarkably interesting to me because I am studying environmental science and by doing so it has caught my attention how species are adapting and reproducing within the change of climate all over the world. The ecosystem we live in should be important to everyone because we depend on this physical world. Numerous ecosystems are impacted by climate change. Climate affects how creatures behave, how plants and animals develop, which ones survive, and how they all interact with the environment. The creatures that makeup ecosystems feel the consequences as environments go through various variations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other factors. The effects of climate change are being felt in every U.S. region, although they vary depending on the locality and ecology. Some species will modify their behavior, physical attributes, or bodily functions to adapt to the changing climate. Others will not be able to change. As a result, certain populations may experience growth, decline, or extinction due to climate change. The total biodiversity of a region may be impacted by these changes. As a result of shifting climatic circumstances, both plants and animals can alter the region that they live in. The ranges of many plants and animals have already been modified by changing temperature and water conditions. Some terrestrial animals have relocated an average of 3.8 miles northward every decade as temperatures have risen in the United States. Several marine species have also moved northward at a rate of more than 17 kilometers each decade (Climate Change Impacts on Ecosystems | US EPA, 2022).
Therefore, climate change/ global warming can be a big issue for all living things in diverse ways from plants struggling to survive and grow within their ecosystem but no longer can due to the rising temperature or decrease. Animals cannot reproduce and adapt to the ecosystem due to environmental changes or seeing species in the region that do not belong there, but they migrate because of the environment they are in. Lastly even creating or exposing the ecosystem to new bacteria, viruses, and illnesses to reappear that could even become deadly. Biological Concepts Analysis 1. Reproduction is among the most crucial biological ideas, which, in its broadest meaning, refers to the act of creating a replica or a likeness to maintain a species' existence. The more comprehensive definition of reproduction has far higher relevance for living creatures, even though it is sometimes only thought of in terms of the generation of offspring in animals and plants. This fact requires consideration of both the beginning of life and the development of creatures. The capacity for self-replication of any simple chemical system must have been one of the first traits of life that appeared in the early universe (Bonner, 2019). 2. Growth and development refer to the development of an organism from its earliest form to its adulthood and maturity. These changes involve the shape, size, parts, and functions of the individual organism over time. Biological Concepts: Relationship to topic Climate change/ global warming has a significant global effect. Biosystems are significantly impacted by the climate. Adaptation to local climatic patterns is important for both survival and
