Phytoplankton are the basis of nearly all the Ocean’s ecosystems, and require a wide range of inorganic nutrients in order to grow; notably Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorous. They take up these nutrient elements according to the Redfield Ratio of C : N : P = 106 : 16 : 1. But phytoplankton also require less obvious nutrients such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. These are often in plentiful supply in the worlds Oceans, and other factors such as the micronutrient Iron can be the limiting Phytoplankton

The Supra-littoral zone is one of the harshest terrains for organisms to exist in. The organisms that live in this region are facing problems like gas exchange, desiccation, temperature changes and feeding. It is only covered during storms and extremely high tides and is

and in many other countries vehicle safety is paramount. In Fact, many of the automotive manufacturers have spent countless hours trying to exercise immense detail to vehicle safety, and the development to safety devices such as air bags, crumple zones, and frame and body technology. Fortunately, for drivers, these manufacturers have created real life accident scenarios which cover everything from rollovers, to frontal impacts, side impacts, and rear impacts. However, these manufacturers have yet

Biology Internal Assessment 2.6 Edward Sargent Introduction My investigation was to analyse the ecological pattern of zonation within the Pauatahanui Inlet estuary at Motukaraka Point. Our focus was to compare the distribution of invertebrate species from the low tide point to the high tide points of the estuary. This estuary is formed by fresh water from streams meeting saltwater from the Tasman Sea. We found the pattern of zonation by randomly

There are three major intertidal zones including Upper Mid-littoral Zone, Lower Mid-littoral Zone, and the Lower Littoral Zone. These zones allow for different organisms to survive in their preferred tide levels. For example, the upper zone includes organisms that survive in a niche with high tide; where as the lower zone contains organisms with niches in low tidal zones. Within the ecology of intertidal ecosystems lies a food web varying from humans and to microscopic plants such as phytoplankton

Deep-Sea Creature Adaptions Deep-Sea creatures in the Bathypelagic Zone and lower must adapt to survive. Adapting to this harsh environment didn’t take only a few years, this process has occured over millions of years and will continue to occur. Some characteristics that the organisms adapted are things like: the ambush strategy, extended spines, smaller sizes, deep-sea giantism, bioluminescence, transparant skins, large mouths, large teeth, large stomachs, large eyes, slow metabolic rates, lateral

Section One: Introduction Paragraph 1: Canada is the second largest country, going over 6 different time zones and covering four and half hours might make difficulties at election time, but It is extremely important the government maintains election rules do not infringe people’s human rights, and specifically the Canada Election Act, the people who write the laws regarding the election. These laws broke the Charter of Human rights multiple time, and people felt that. The first was Stephen Harper

Expansion...the action of becoming larger or more extensive. When looking back to the 1800s, we can see Westward Expansion as a great part of our American History. Manifest Destiny paved the way for many of the decisions society made during this day and age. It was believed that it was our nation's God-given right to expand to into westward lands. With the modernization of the Transcontinental Railroad, we as a nation were able to fulfill our ¨destiny.¨ In that came great accomplishments along

The Hot Zone is all about the events that surrounded the outbreak of Ebola that occurred in the 1980s. The story begins when some personnel affiliated with a laboratory facility that conducts tests on monkeys mishandle the virus, in the process causing risk to the general population. In the process of containing the disease, Preston indulges in past similar knowledges in the wake of significant health risk. He (Preston) has adopted the tone of viral panic, vulnerability and regret to express the

History has shown that humans and wildlife always come in conflict for territory and resources, and a majority of the time humans emerge victorious. Humans have drastically and permanently altered the environment to suit their needs, usually creating negative consequences for the native fauna. But, as of late, we as a society are coming together, recognizing these effects and working towards restoring ecological balance. Even so, places on UC Davis, a school that emphasizes and teaches the importance
