Lion king Ecological study Pt.1 Austin ball P2 biology 5-15-12 1) Identify a food chain consisting of organisms in the movie. Include at least three total organisms and be sure to identify which organism are the producer, primary consumer and secondary consumer. In addition, state the nutritional modality of the consumers (Is it an herbivore, carnivore, etc.) Grass(producer)--> Antelope(secondary comsumer,herbivore) --> Lion (tertiary comsumer, carnivore) 2) Make a list of as many organisms you can identify that contributed to a balanced ecosystem in and around Pride Rock. Categorize the organisms by their nutritional modality (producer, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, decomposer).
Some of the plants in the Rideau River are carnivorous. o Yellow-flowered bladderwort captures and digests microscopic invertebrates. o Invasive plant species: Eurasian Water Milfoil is a plant that grows in thick tangles. These plants can reproduce very quickly because they do not rely on seeds alone to spread. Eurasian water milfoil can grow out of clippings from the plant.
Some of the organisms such as Tesseropora Roseas (Barnacles) and Knobbly Winks have different adaptations, which allow them to survive in these harsh conditions. Competition with other organisms, availability of food and predation can also affect the abundance and distribution of rock-shelf organisms. To determine the abundance and distribution of these rock-shelf organisms a quadrat with an area of 0.5m2 was used. It was placed randomly in each location. Location 1 was above the high tide mark, Location 2 the tidal rock pools and location 3 the low tide mark.
The diploid state in plants is known as sporophyte which produces spores and the haploid state in plants is known as gametophyte which produces gametes. Unlike woman who always produce an egg and men who always produce sperm some plants have different dominate diploid stage than haploid stages. Some examples of plants with dominate haploid stages are green algae, mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Some examples of plants with dominate diploid stages are wiskferns, horsetails, and true ferns. ten ways in which plants in general or specific plants provide for you in your life and HOW they benefit or enrich your life 1.
Using the characters from the movie, draw and label a complete food web, explain how they are connected, and categorize the organisms by their nutritional modality. You must have at least 10 organisms to receive credit. (10 pts.) 3) During the movie Simba is in 3 different Biomes. Identify the 3 Biomes and describe characteristics of the biome that allowed you to identify it.
Estuaries transport dissolved nutrients to coastal zones leading to a high productivity in primary and secondary production. Deviations in production can greatly affect species richness, abundance, and productivity (Goel 2014). Ctenophores are major predators of zooplankton. It is possible that a lack of ctenophore predation in the Barrington River allow zooplankton in the inner bay to survive and matching diversity (Kremer 1979). There may a few places where an error could have been made that would
How much does mangrove conservation help the Rainbow Parrotfish juvenile? Alex Pizarro Pizarro, Abstract/Introduction; Page 2 This research paper will cover, first, the ecology of the Rainbow Parrotfish and mangrove trees. The ecology will include their natural range and the reason they are being threatened with extinction. I will then cover the reasons why saving the Rainbow Parrotfish and the mangrove trees is important. I will include their Biological, Intrinsic, and Economic Values.
The most important species are either fully exploited and are being managed to achieve a sustainable yield, or have been overexploited and are now being managed to allow recovery. Overfishing occurs when human fishing activities reduce fish stocks below an acceptable level. This can occur in any body of water from a pond to the oceans. There are three recognized types of overfishing: growth overfishing, recruit overfishing and ecosystem
Insects eat plants, birds eat insects, bacteria and fungi in the soil decompose birds and other organisms when they die, and plants obtain vital nutrients from the soil. Food webs for ecological communities may be extremely complex. 4.How could human behaviors and rising human populations impact these cycles? Humans can eliminate species and life by pollution or killing. Humans need to monitor their actions by moving life to a new location
The author also explains the important of the coral reefs to the human race. The author mentions that people ruin the ecosystem of coral reefs and millions of people depend on these fish as a major food source. Although both the essays show strong viewpoints such as the tone and the writer’s purpose, Amber Ripplinger proves to be a more effective essay because she explains more in depth about the cause and effect of coral reefs, uses detailed description, and transition and coherence are used more effectively. Both of the authors have similar tools that they use in their essays. One is the tone.
