Week 1 Lab Questions: Student Name: Zakirah Carter
Date: 11/7/2023
For each question, you are required to write 3-5 complete sentences consisting of 75-100 words discussing the broader implications of the week 1 Labster Lab: Marine Biology that you completed in week 1. Must use at least 2 sources from the following list: governmental source, credible news article, scholarly or credible source found using the UAGC Library.
Must follow APA guidelines for all citations.
Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the UAGC Writing Center.
1.
State your hypothesis for the week 1 lab using an if/then format.
If the fish was discovered only a few hours ago, then it might have been a traumatic event. Should that be the case, we must determine what kills the fish first. We should determine how the fish perished once we get all the facts.
2.
Explain why you chose this hypothesis based on facts or information presented before the
experiment is conducted.
I concluded that, given the circumstances, something unusual had to occur for the death to occur. We instantly recognize that something has happened at first glance.
3.
Analyze how natural resources and environmental services were impacted in the week 1 lab simulation.
Water, electricity, air, and climate are examples of natural resources. Noise, traffic patterns, and land usage would all be considered environmental. We can observe how the surroundings and the natural world were detrimental in the first lab week. When we stepped onto the pier, my attention was drawn to the industrial factory across the street, which may have had a significant role in the fish's demise. But when we consider our contemporary circumstances, we see that our modern resources are being used indiscriminately, with limitless potential for future generations. The effects will be terrible and cause environmental harm that exceeds the carrying capacity of the realm.
4.
Explain which results from the lab are helpful in evaluating the validity of your hypothesis and why. Include any data or graphs presented in the lab.
When I could compile additional information for my study, the water data was the most suitable choice, even confirming the validity of my theory on the fish's suffocation. I concluded my approach with the spectrometer's use of the Beer-Lambert Law.
5.
Evaluate the hypothesis based on the results and state whether you accept or reject your hypothesis and why.
I gathered data from the first week's lab and performed my study simultaneously. My presumption was accurate. After completing the lab work, I concluded that the fish died due to suffocation due to insufficient light or absorbance in the water.
6.
Describe how the topics and environmental challenges presented in the lab impact businesses and the economy. Find
and cite a source to support your answer
.
The subject was taught to us both in the field and the lab. They give an example of how a natural event might occur at any time. Let's consider the possibility of dealing with a pandemic if the fish were still alive, harvested for food, then sent to the market, and sold. As it has been for decades, climate change is the primary concern in the area. According to (Terrence Bensel & Jon
Turk), they discuss food supply and climate change in chapter 7.
7.
Describe a current or proposed policy or technological solution that could help address one of the environmental challenges presented in the lab.
Find and use a source to support your
answer.
Describe the origin of the policy or technology.
Big data has the potential to mitigate climate change. We can determine that something went wrong to result in so many fatalities by using the angler, or big data, to analyze enormous data sets. As stated in How big data can accelerate our efforts to combat climate change - World Economic Forum (weforum.org). They enter and describe how so
much was lost for the globe. According to the research, human-caused carbon dioxide emissions must decrease by around 45% from 2010 to 2030 to attain "net zero" emissions
by 2050.
Identify potential or actual impacts of its use/implementation.
Some states may attempt to address the current issues as a result of the possible impact; California, for instance, is addressing a global issue locally. Additionally, they collaborate with Planet Labs, an Earth-imaging business situated in San Francisco. The state will create and
ultimately deploy a satellite that can monitor leaks and other irregularities at precise areas and identify the "point source" of climate pollution.
