Wednesday‚ 6 November 2013 Dear Mr Prime Minister Tony Abbott‚ I am writing to express my concern over inadequate preservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat‚ a high level of which is usually considered to be important and desirable. According to Tim Flannery‚ between 1995 and 2008‚ the number of small mammals in Kakadu National Park declined by 75% and one third of the species that were recorded in 1995 can no longer

as the process to produce plant food. But‚ how does is the life exist on the planet we call our home‚ Earth? Photosynthesis is a process that we know that allows water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and some mineral salts along with the light from the sun to make glucose (sugar). During the process‚ the root sytem of the plant takes in elements known as nitrogen‚ phosphorous‚ iron‚ calcium‚ & potassium to help produce glucose. Glucose helps store energy from the sun into the plant. The photosynthesis process

same lamp will be used. Carbon dioxide is needed because the element are needed to produce glucose which is what the plant is trying to make. This can be controlled by having a fixed amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in the test tube. The temperature needs to be controlled at higher temperatures the rate of reaction speeds up. It will be controlled by putting the plant in a water bath to maintain the same temperature Water is needed for photosynthesis because the elements are needed

INTRODUCTION According to Oxford Dictionary‚ biodiversity means the state of having a large amount of different number of animals and plants which make a balanced environment. Biodiversity is also known as flora and fauna. The meaning of flora is all the plants growing in a particular area while fauna means all the animals of an area or a period of time.

mushroom? A mushroom is the fruit of the mushroom plant‚ like the apple of an apple tree. The body of the mushroom in called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. Since the body of the mushroom is usually dispersed over a relatively large area‚ it is rarely noticed. In nature‚ some species of mushrooms may have a body that spreads over hundreds of square miles. Mushrooms are fungi‚ and are usually placed in a kingdom of their own apart from plants and animals.

I love the ‘highs’ from smoking marijuana‚ and last but not least‚ I love how I can function while ‘high’. The summary is that little nuggets of joy have been crucial in making me who I am now‚ and I am grateful for everything marijuana has brought. The cannabis plant leaf is most famous about the plant.

If you were of the opinion that cultivated plants and domesticated animals is what wildlife consists of‚ you are mistaken. Wildlife‚ in fact‚ comprises of the innumerous varieties of wild plants‚ animals‚ fungi and microorganisms that exist on our planet earth‚ rather than just cultivated plants and domesticated animals. Knowingly or unknowingly‚ we largely depend on this wildlife for every elementary requirement in our life. The food we eat‚ the clothes we wear‚ the medicines we consume‚ a variety

ever existed since the beginning of time‚ 98% of them are extinct (Facts). There are an estimated 5-10 million species that exist currently and only 1.5 million have been identified (Sherry‚ 2). Scientists classify species into six different groups: plants‚ animals‚ insects‚ algae‚ fungi‚ and microorganisms (Today’s Situation). In the tropical rainforest alone‚ most species are disappearing at the rate of 1% a year (Sherry‚ 6). If the current trend continues‚ at least 50% of all currently existing species

But by far‚ the greatest source of dyes has been the plant kingdom‚ notably from their roots‚ bark‚ leaves‚ wood and their berries.
