Guinea Grass And The Mango Tree

The diagram above shows the two stages of photosynthesis. As you can see, light is a key component as it start the light-dependent reactions which produces ATP and NADPH, which is needed in the light-independent reactions to make glucose. So without light, there is no ATP and NADPH produced and thus no glucose produced, therefore the food chain cannot be started. Glucose is also needed to make DNA and hormones for plant growth, it is also require during plant respiration. So it can be established the light is vital for plant growth and it affects the height of plants indefinitely.

includes both biotic and abiotic components. A biotic constituent is a living organism needing to

Plants are found everywhere on earth, up high on the ridge and down low in caves and caverns. The types of plants that live in these places depends on many factors. These factors are separated into two different categories, the biotic factors and the abiotic factors. Some of the biotic factors include, predation, competition, and habitat destruction. Plants with limited competition and large amounts of resources will be in a higher abundance than plants with limited resources and higher competition rates will be confined to areas and either out competed or will be the dominant species. Certain plants adapt to these factors and thrive and others don’t do as well. Some of the abiotic factors include, sunlight, water, temperature, and wind. These

Environmental pollution can adversely influence the ecosystem by minimizing the health and safety of the neighboring environment much needed for the organisms’ to existence. Habitat destruction is the second hazard that comes from human life increasing. To maintain human’s keep living, it is required to create regions for urban development, agriculture, and other much needed elements and pleasing living factors. Then again, the necessities to please the life of humans pose a threat to the life of organisms in the particular area. In the temperate forest ecosystem, numerous abiotic features play a part of its continued existence between the local organisms. The abiotic factors, which are nonliving factors that affect living organisms, are example things like its weather, light source, temperature, soil, minerals, air and water. The combination of these elements aid in the survival of the ecosystem alone and provide certain survival of the organisms in the environment (Viau, 2000). The organisms in the temperate forest ecosystem have undergone adjustments to assist or sustain the available resources and live through in the surrounding environment. Suitable modification ensures the survival of an organism in a particular

Adaptations in terrestrial environments involve the structural and functional qualities of the organism, to achieve the adequate intake of oxygen and other essential substances for the animal to survive, the evolution of more complex anatomical structures were required. Gravity is stronger on land than water, which means terrestrial organisms have to be more structural than aquatic organisms. Also, the balance of gas exchange with water loss is a key feature to survive in land. For example plants, when doing photosynthesis require carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen, at the end of this process a lot of water is lost and terrestrial plants have to compensate the water being lost and the water taken from soil. Furthermore, the dispersal of gametes by wind or other animals have helped plants reproduce in large amounts and create varieties of species of the same kind. Short-term weather patterns as well as long-term climate conditions based on precipitations, temperature, wind, humidity as well as other factors are survival obstacles that organisms in land have to adapt to live; endothermic organisms have to maintain a constant internal

Ecosystems maintain themselves by recycling energy and nutrients obtained from external sources. At the first trophic level of primary producers i.e. plants and algae, use solar energy to produce organic plant material through photosynthesis.

My biome is the Taiga. One place the Taiga can be found is Oslo,Norway. Some abiotic factors in the Taiga are rain, sunlight, soil, temperature, and wind. Some biotic factors are moose, black bears, wolves, moss, and pine trees. Those abiotic and biotic factors interact a lot. There are four levels of organization. They are species, population, community, and ecosystem. An ecosystem is all the biotic and abiotic factors in a specific place. An example of a ecosystem in the Taiga is spruce trees, pine trees, mushrooms, owls, and bears. Those are only a few of the abiotic and biotic factors that make up the Taiga.

In order for an ecosystem to stay an ecosystem there are three aspects that interact with each other:

Abiotic factors refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem. These factors have effects on living things and determine which species survive in a particular environment.

2) Different plant species interaction of soil moisture provide high specie richness index of invertebrates.

The Plants of the Desert The brittle bush is a bush that grows across most of the Mojave Desert and from March to June it thrives turning the desert yellow. Growing to around five foot these plants are suited to this environment as they have a matt of short hairs that cover all the leaves. These hairs act as an insulating layer against hot and cold, and they also trap moisture. Common saltbush is a grayish white shrub that grows to be around a meter tall. They are not a pretty plant, but are well adapted to living in dry, alkaline environments. It has scales on the leaves to conserve water, although it doesn't like to hold large amounts of water. Also in droughts it has the ability to drop all leaves and see the drought through. The Joshua Tree mainly grows in the Joshua Tree National Park and is only found in the Mojave Desert. With a life span of 200 years, and a maximum height of just over 12 meters this tree also has 2 root systems. One root systems buries deep and stores water in large bulbs up to 10 meters underground. The other root system is shallow and gathers nutrients. The spiny leaf system is turned up wards in order to catch any moisture in the air. Abiotic Factors Abiotic factors are the non-living chemical and physical factors that influence an ecosystem. Abiotic factors that

In this lab write up, the population growth of a variety of living organisms was analyzed and upon analysis of graphs and background information given within the laboratory course notebook, the conclusion was made that abiotic factors are related to biotic factors in an ecosystem, if one factor is varied it can affect the entirety of the ecosystem. Abiotic factors have importance because they are directly correlated to how biotic organisms survive and the growth or decline of their populations. Abiotic factors refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem and biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem with the ability to reproduce and affect other organisms in the ecosystem.

The antelopes are especially diverse and include eland, impalas,gazelles oryx, gerenuk and kudu. Buffalo, wildebeest, plains zebra,rhinos, giraffes, elephants and warthogs are among other herbivores of the African savanna. Carnivores include lions, leopards, cheetahs,jackals, wild dogs and hyenas.

They use their long necks to reach into the trees and pull leaves down for their young. They are herbivores, meaning their diet consist of only vegetation. The responded to Africa having tall trees by adapting a longer neck, which increases their total height so it’s easier to get to the leaves. They do not necessarily have to constantly drink from a water hole, because they get most of the moisture they need from the vegetation. But if needed, The West African Giraffe can drink up to 13 gallons of water in one sitting.
