Height Height Color Discussion of Graph: The graph tracks the different heights. Blue light shows better results than red or yellow light. Blue is part of the white light spectrum, so it is understandable that the results would be similar. White Continue Reading...
Materials and Methods Procedure is found on pages 258 to 259 in Biology I: Molecular and Cells Laboratory Manual (Dalton, 2012). Results "1" represents the first trial, with an average time-to-surface of 282.4 seconds at a distance of seven cent Continue Reading...
Photosynthesis is a process in plants, algae, and some prokaryotes, that coverts solar insulation into chemical energy stored in glucose or other organic compounds. Photosynthesis occurs in slightly different ways in higher plants relative to photosy Continue Reading...
The hypothesis here is that it is the quality of the light, not the quantity of the light that makes a difference, and having a lot more light will not necessarily make photosynthesis occur any faster. Discussion With an experiment like this there Continue Reading...
Photosynthesis is critical for the survival of all life on earth. The process of photosynthesis within plants consists of two processes, one which begins with energy from the sun in the form of visible light, and another which is light-independent an Continue Reading...
The entire unit is known as a photosytem and in green plants, one finds two of these systems, photosystem I and photosystem II, both of which are involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. Light energy absorbed by these pigments of the ante Continue Reading...
The fact is that numerous rooted macrophyte structures are not full of naturally strong and healthy particles and sediments and nutrients. It is because of the restriction or absence of these particles, sediments and nutrients that the study of the Continue Reading...
International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent Continue Reading...
living things are characterized by the following seven characteristics namely mobility, respiration, excretion, sensitivity or response to external stimulus, growth, feeding, and reproduction. Though there may be variations between animal and plant Continue Reading...

There are about 6 billion nucleotide letters of a particular sequence in a human cell. The full set is known as the genome. DNA information is found in units called genes. One gene codes roughly for one protein. The proteins perform most of the func Continue Reading...
animals -- whether they are carnivorous, omnivorous, or herbivorous -- depend upon the mechanisms of photosynthesis as a source of food. Carnivorous and omnivorous animals eat other animals as a source of food, but prey animals such as herbivores co Continue Reading...
evolution and natural selection is the addition of information. The process of evolution requires massive amounts of new information be added to an existing gene pool. What most people refer to as evolution is, in fact, natural selection. Natural se Continue Reading...
Geology Water is an important resource of earth and an inevitable requirement of life. There is no life without water; regardless it is human life, animal life or plant life. Water is mandatory for all kinds of life and it is no exaggeration to ment Continue Reading...
Solar Flares What causes solar storms? Why should people nearly a hundred million miles away on Earth care so much about them? Massive explosions of electrified plasma from the sun are identified as Solar Storms but often they just cause a beautiful Continue Reading...
Factors Influencing Blooming in Hydrangea Plants: Applying the Scientific MethodQuestion or ObservationIn my personal garden, I have noticed a curious behavior: my Hydrangea plants do not bloom every year. This observation has led me to wonder what f Continue Reading...

" Because of the ability to reproduce in large amounts in a small amount of time, phytoplankton are considered as the first link in the food chain of nearly all marine animals. Phytoplankton provide food for a large variety of organisms, including th Continue Reading...
At the present energy set-up nuclear energy provides around 20% of world's electricity. This energy is produced naturally -- by the sun and other stars making heat and light- and artificially-electricity from nuclear power plants. The nuclear power Continue Reading...
Human Effects on Coral Reefs Coral reefs are one of the oldest ecosystems in the world, existing for more than 450 million years. A coral reef is a type of biotic reef that develops in tropical waters. Coral reefs are found in all oceans of the wor Continue Reading...
Around 21 billion of co2 is launched into the environment annually which is too much for the environment of Earth to neutralise or utilise normally. The manufacturing of co2 from burning non-renewable fuel sources is among the most considerably impo Continue Reading...
Night time implies very low levels of light and therefore darkness. In this period, the human eye relies fully on the rod physiology so it no longer searches for color and alters our interpretation of the external environment by reducing levels of Continue Reading...

A water right is an action that was started by a prospective applicant and they had to follow the terms and conditions laid down by the SWRCB including providing progressive reports. After a period of time, the SWRCB granted water rights to a certai Continue Reading...
Michael Pollan ("Why Bother?") and Anna Lappe ("The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork") are both focused on providing well-defined information about reducing individuals' carbon footprints as the climate continues to heat up. They are both cent Continue Reading...
Other things being equal, higher sap sugar content translates to lower costs of production and greater profits (World Book Encyclopedia 1992). Black and sugar maples start their growth later in the spring than red or silver maple. As maples begin t Continue Reading...
subduction zone is where two tectonic plates come together and one goes beneath the other. This is most common where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate, and the oceanic plate is pushed underneath the continental. As a result, subduction zone Continue Reading...
Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture Weather and the related temperature, light and water determine to a large extent the human society's ability to feed themselves and the animals they care for. When the weather changes due to variations n climate Continue Reading...
China -- Globalization and Air Pollution Because China has essentially become, as The New York Times explains, " ... the world's factory floor" by producing electronics, clothes and many other goods for America and other nations (as part of its glob Continue Reading...
ability of plants to respond to environmental factors such as soil temperatures. This paper examines the effects of arti-cially warmed environment using open-top chambers (OTCs). It investigates the effect of temperature changes on the growth of Dry Continue Reading...
The energy it stores (?180 Wh kg?1) at an average voltage of 3.8 V is only a factor of 5 higher than that stored by the much older lead -- acid batteries. This may seem poor in the light of Moore's law in electronics (according to which memory capac Continue Reading...
Air Pollution: A Testament to Human History Air pollution is woven throughout the fabric of our modern life. A by-product of the manner in which we build our cities, air pollution is waste remaining from the ways we produce our goods, transport ours Continue Reading...
Chocolate: Behind Its Bad Rap In today's society, chocolate is everywhere. It seems that people have developed a love-hate relationship with chocolate. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, in 1997, the average American ate 11.7 pounds of ch Continue Reading...
Global Warming Since its first mention at the UN General Assembly, global warming has come to be regarded the greatest human development challenge for the 21st century (McInerney-Lankford, Darrow, Rajamani and Banque, 2011). This has prompted multip Continue Reading...
