Balaenoptera musculus‚ Balaenoptera acutorostrata ‚ Balaenoptera physalus Megaptera novaeangliae ‚ and Eschrichtius robustus. Better known as the blue whale‚ minke whale‚ fin whale‚ humpback whale and the gray whale. These all have something in common. These kinds of whales‚ dolphins and porpoises are all part of the cetacean family. This family‚ especially whales‚ is crucial to the survival of humans and the planet. The whale family has as profound link to the ocean as the ocean has an undeniable

Protozoa similarly are single celled‚ however‚ they consume bacteria. Forams otherwise known as amoebae‚ eat bacteria and are herbavores. The Copepods‚ krill and salps are the most important consumers of the phytoplankton. Copepods are the most abundant herbivore and the largest consumer of phytoplankton. Krill are known to be the staple diet to some of the biggest mammals on earth‚ like the shark and the whale. Salps are jelly in type‚ and are made up of mostly water. They have the largest fecal matter

plenty of phytoplankton‚ the color of the water shifts from blue to green. These marine animals remove carbon dioxide and convert it to carbon. (Downside) This makes up for almost half of the Earth ’s photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converts it into carbon to oxygen that feeds almost in every ecosystem. Phytoplankton was dropped down by 190 million tons of carbon each year. Animals that need the right temperature‚ like Phytoplankton‚ have

Mercury is a metallic element that is naturally found in rocks within the earth’s crust. It is dispersed into the environment in various ways such as soil‚ weathering of rocks‚ volcanoes‚ mining coal combustion‚ power plants‚ municipal waste and even the products used in the household or for health. Since mercury naturally occurs in the environment‚ it can exist in several forms and there are three main forms it takes on; there is Elemental mercury‚ organic mercury and inorganic mercury and each

1 Introduction The purpose of this research is to compare DNA methylation patterns in two strains of the marine alga‚ Emiliania Hhuxleyi (Ehux) using Bisulfite sequence. The two strains Ehux-1516 and Ehux-217 share the same genome‚ but Ehux-1516 is non-calcifying and Ehux-217 is calcifying. Methylation may play a role in the different phenotypes and gene expressions of the two strains. The aim of this research is to analyze the differentially methylation regions (DMR) between the two strains and

The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect‚ in environmental science‚ is a popular term for the effect that certain variable constituents of the Earth’s lower atmosphere have on surface temperatures. These gases--water vapor (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ and methane (CH4)--keep ground temperatures at a global average of about 15 degrees C (60 degrees F). Without them the average would be below the freezing point of H20. The gases have this effect because as incoming solar radiation strikes

components‚ which are the stonefly larvae (Plecoptera) and fish. In Ampang‚ we collected our biotic specimens through sampling macrophytes found in the littoral zone of the lake and over there we found abundant Bladderworts (Utricularia vulgaris)‚ phytoplanktons and leaf litter from riparian vegetations- all of which weren’t found in the Gombak river. The only producers we found in the river were the biofilms (algae) layered on rocks. Other than that‚ the invertebrate predators found in both ecosystems

the glucose and oxygen I took in will be turned into carbon‚ water‚ and ATP. I will expel this carbon through my lungs. This carbon then is used by photosynthesis of phytoplankton in the water. During the photosynthesis that takes place‚ sunlight‚ water‚ and carbon are taken in by the plankton and then a fish eats this phytoplankton and this organism dies. When the fish dies it decomposes‚ and when organisms decompose they release carbon dioxide into the air. When the carbon dioxide is in the air
