Introduction- This lab experiment serves as a model for community succession using bacterial colonies as the model. A bacterial colony grows from a single bacterium and is composed of millions of cells. Each colony has distinctive colony morphology: size‚ shape‚ color‚ consistency‚ and color. Community succession is a phenomenon observed in the organizational hierarchy of all living organisms. Community succession is not limited to bacterial colonies‚ but spans the entire community of life

Barnacles and Whales Project Ecology - the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. Ecological relationship is the relationship between an organism in its ecosystem. All organisms in an ecosystem are connected in one way or another. Each interaction depends on the one before it. Commensalism - Barnacles and whales Barnacles are arthropods contained in the class Crustacea along with lobster’s crabs and shrimp. They’re believed

AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 50.1: An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the scientific study of how organisms interact with the environment. When studying Ecology scientists want to know‚ where organisms live‚ why they live there‚ and how many are there. Ecology and environmental biology both stem from Darwin’s interest and observations upon the distribution of organisms and how they adapted to their specific environment. Darwin concluded that the environment interacting

This chapter talks about how the business world and regular world must work together. The author Mr. Paul Hawken writes about how we are not a utopian society. There is a negative reaction for every positive reaction. Currently we are not being resourceful‚ wasting products just to say that we could

Primate socio-ecology varies and has different determinants that decide many different characteristics. As a virtual paleontologist‚ we discovered two different sites and skeletal remains in Kenya and deductively reasoned their mating habits‚ group size‚ and several other characteristics about the Praeanthropus dimorphicus and the Praeanthropus monomorphicus with what I know about primate socio-ecology. Based on my prior knowledge‚ logic‚ and reasoning‚ by looking at skeletal remains we are able

examined several different factors from Prickett’s Creek. In the following introduction I will explain what stream ecology is and how are experiments will justify or appeal my hypothesis. | Stream ecology is the overall health of the water and the surrounding ecosystem. There are many different components that make up a stream’s health. The main factors that affect stream ecology are: geology‚ climate‚ vegetation‚ nutrients‚ bacteria‚ temperature‚ DO (Dissolved oxygen)‚ and toxic chemicals. The
