    Ap Bio Decomposition Lab Answers

    The catabolism (breakdown of molecules into smaller units) of the organic compounds is mostly accomplished by bacteria and fungi. However if one considers decomposition as the disappearance or breakdown of organic litter then the soil fauna (invertebrates such as the springtails, mites, isopods, etc) must be included in this array of soil biota that contributes to the decomposition of organic matter. Wood decomposition is also influenced by the fungal species that break it down. Some of these species form brown rot (where only cellulose and hemicellulose are broken down leaving lignin which is brown), while others form white rot where all three are broken down). The majority of fungi are white rotters, but brown rot fungi are ecologically important because they form long-lived nurse…

    This carbon is combined with other elements in intricate ways to form organic molecules significant to life.The carbon is later passed to animals who consume plants. When plants and animals die, the majority of their carbon is given back to the atmosphere as the organisms begin to decompose. Occasionally, there will be a plant or animal does not decompose immediately. Their bodies are confined in locations where decomposition cannot occur. This typically happens at the bottom of seas and oceans where the lifeforms become buried by…

    Phaseolus Vulgaris

    We believe that when a plant is exposed to stress it will undergo morphological changes, known as thigmomorphogenesis, to conform to its environment. The purpose of this experiment is to observe the growth in Phaseolus vulgaris (common beans) with an emphasis on the structural changes induced by touch. During an 18 day observation period, the experimental group’s shoots and leaves were gently rubbed five times daily with gloved hands. After soaking in distilled water to hasten germination, the beans were planted in two separate 8 oz. cups filled with 4 oz. of topsoil. The soil was moistened with 1 oz. of distilled water and the cups were placed on a windowsill with sufficient sunlight. Each plant was watered at the base of the shoot daily…

    Cycles in Biology

    One of the largest cycles that occurs all around us is in everyday life is the carbon cycle. The current atmospheric composition currently consists of approximately 0.04% of Carbon dioxide. A large proportion of it is found dissolved in the oceans as well as the atmosphere. The carbon cycle consists of 6 stages. Initially the CO2 that is absorbed by plants for the use in photosynthesis becomes carbon compounds in plant tissue. The carbon is moved up the food chain by consumption, a primary consumer. It is passed on to the secondary and tertiary consumers when they eat other consumers. When these organisms die they are digested by microorganisms known as decomposers (bacteria and fungi), when these decomposers feed on the dead organism it is called saprobiotic nutrition. The carbon is then released back into the atmosphere and other living organisms which proceed on to respiring and this causes CO2 to be released. However if the dead organism ends up somewhere were there is no decomposers present, then this matter will turn into fossil fuels over millions of years. We will then extract the fossil fuels and use them for energy and as fuels, this process known as combustion is very widely used, it then releases CO2 back into the atmosphere where it once came from.…
