In thermohaline circlulation, differences in the termperature, density, and salinity of ocean water masses cause the nutrient-rich deep ocean water to rise and mix with suface waters Along the ocean floor you will find many creatures like plants. You will find these kinds of plants like the sponge, sea urchin, and the sea anenome.these plants are all very unique! If we were to group the plants into three major groups, they would be classified as coral weed, sea weed, and various forms of kelp. Some major animals are sharks, fish, and whales. There are many individual species in each of the categories.
This is one of the main pieces of evidence used to support endosymbiosis. Take the Paramecium bursaria for example. This single-celled eukaryote demonstrates how easily organisms can become dependent on one another for survival, resulting in a permanent relationship. It does not possess its own chloroplasts and must swallow photosynthetic green algae in order to “borrow” these organelles. Paramecium bursaria chauffeurs the algae and in return, the algae shares the food it produces (Palmer).
This protein causes the jellyfish to glow in the dark. With gene transformation the bacteria will acquire this trait and they wil glow underneath an ultraviolet light. Bacteria contain a large singular chromosome and one or more smaller circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. these plasmids usually contain one or more genes that are beneficial to the survival of the bacteria. in nature, the bacteria can transfer these plasmids from bacteria to bacteria, transfering those beneficial genes.
1) Monocots are shorts for “Monocotyledons” which means plants whose embryo has one cotyledon; whereas, Eudicots (Eudicotyledons) carry embryo with 2 cotyledons. The cotyledons of eudicots supply nutrients for seedlings, but the cotyledons of monocots store some nutrients and act as a transfer tissue for nutrients stored elsewhere. Five key features are typically used to distinguish monocots from eudicots; a seed, arrangement of vascular tissue in roots, stems, and leaves, and number of flower parts. The seed has the reproductive structures that are protected from drying out, have male and female gametophytes which are reduced in size. In young dicot stems and stems (usually the upright, vertical portion of a plant transports substances to and the leaves) that do not increase in thickness, xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex.

Inorganic ions are charged particles that do not contain carbon atoms bonded together. While organisms are mainly built from carbon-containing molecules, their functions rely on inorganic ions such as nitrate, hydrogen and calcium. This essay will detail some of the roles of specific ions and describe how animals, plants and bacteria use them. Productivity in an ecosystem in the soil is limited in part by the availability of fixed nitrogen in the soil. Nitrogen fixing bacteria in the roots of leguminous plants reduce atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium using ATP and reduced NAD.
The native plants Kelp is important because it provides shelter and food for a lot of sea creatures. Kelp is also used by humans for many products, including toothpaste and ice cream. Kelp also serves as a buffer by absorbing energy from waves before the waves hit the shoreline, protecting many of the sandy beaches along the California coast. Phytoplankton is tiny plant that serves as food for many of the ocean creatures from the smallest of fish to large whales. Some scientists estimate that phytoplankton provide the earth with almost half of its oxygen.
Giant kelp grows along the coastlines of the Channel Islands. The growing conditions are suitable for their growth because the California Counter Current brings colder water to the CIs, but also receive warmer water from the Southern California Countercurrent. Upwelling not only transfers cold water from the bottom of the ocean, but also sends nutrients to the top (pelagic zone) kelp uses to grow. Along with nutrients and colder water, kelp needs sunlight for photosynthesis. As a result it grows in relatively clear water that allows sunlight to reach the kelp.
The Effects of Temperature on the Swimming Behavior of Daphnia Introduction: Plankton play a large role in the ecosystem. Plankton are aquatic organisms that exist in innumerable different regions of aquatic environments. They can be utilized as a food source for other planktons, large aquatic animals, and other animals. Since they are at the pedestal of the food chain, they are important since they fill the base of the ecosystems they exist in. Many zooplanktons are also ectothermic which means temperature can highly affect metabolism and growth (Jalal et al., 2013).
Diatoms are type of algae , found in toothpaste, they can be classified into two groups called centric and pennate. Finally there are protozoa which are single celled and can cause diseases such as malaria and sleep sickness. (www.enviroliteracy.org/article.php/317.html ) As do we, microorganisms under go normal life functions. Although they are so tiny they still could reproduce, and carry out processes, such as excretion, respiration and regulation. They have their own way of moving called locomotion and different types of structures.
