This had a huge effect on the planktons. Zooplanktons the eat phytoplankton. If there isn’t much phytoplankton for the zooplankton to eat, there numbers will decrease. The article “ The Short‐Term Impact of the Zebra Mussel Invasion,” “phytoplankton fell by 80 percent. Zooplankton (which eat phytoplankton) declined by half.
Oxygen was being consumed and carbon dioxide was being released because the water level in test tube “G” continued to
The scientific analysis of Gaia hypothesis observes the evolution of living organisms in comparison to the stability of the atmosphere, global temperatures, and much more. Initially, the hypothesis was not well received within the scientific community.
Climate change influenced nonhuman primate evolution in a variety of ways. Around 55 mya, a serious period of global warming occurred just as euprimates were beginning to appear. Our book discusses how this rapid temperature increase created tropical weather conditions all across the globe. As a result, new habits were created and there was "an adaptive radiation of modern-appearing primates, the euprimates" (Larsen 260). In other words, the high global temperatures paired with the humidity let to the spread of tropical forests.
Rind’s article was created to give readers an understanding of the Sun’s role in climate variations. The hypothesis suggested that there are multiple other climate forcing factors which work with the sun to create climate changes. Rind’s evidence presented in the paper focused on many important aspects, referring to not just modern factors which affected climate systems but also those that were present millions of years ago during the ice ages. While Rind presents information on both past and current events, she also addressed how our past ideas of how climate change worked were inaccurate. Furthermore, Rind backed up statements with several different collections of modern scientific data enabling her to compare and contrast what actually happened and what should have happened.
(Hance) This in turn helped immensely to cool down the earth. (Hance) Without him global warming would have happened sooner and could have plunged us into another ice age. The action removed 700 million tonnes of carbon off the earth and allowed trees and bamboo to regrow, maybe even saving our ecosystem(Andrie).
Cell Respiration Lab Research Question What is the optimal temperature for germinating pea-seeds where the rate of respiration is the greatest? Background Information Cell Respiration refers to the biochemical process conducted by the cells of an organism that combines glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, along with two by-products, water and carbon dioxide. The equation representing this chemical reaction is shown below. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
The Effect of Sugar Concentration on CO2 Production by Cellular Respiration in Yeast Introduction In this lab, our main focus was to find how sugar concentration affect yeast respiration rates. This was to simulate the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to transfer energy from the organic molecules in food to ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate). Glucose, CO2, and yeast (used as a catalyst in this experiment) are a few of the many vital components that contribute to cellular respiration.
Again due to the higher radiation there was a warming of the seas and oceans. This had even led to the point “that the world’s Oceans are being laid waste!” (TYOF 196). Next to the “Great Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico; and the Great Dead Zone in Lake Erie; and the Great Death Zone in the Black
The book describes many different types of evidence- ocean sediments, ice cores, fossilized tooth enamel and introduces the significant findings of the investigation of Earth’s climate, often with names that are part of the geological record. While reading I learned a lot about silicate weathering, the disposition of land masses, the Milankovitch cycles and their effects on climate. While Zalasiewicx and Williams provide a good amount of evidence to support all of their claims, they also point out the degrees of uncertainty in drawing conclusions about ancient climate events by discussing fluctuations in temperature and carbon,all the way until the Holocene/ Antropocene. Their efforts to refrain from making definite statements was frustrating at times and made it difficult to take the authors seriously. Referring to the earth’s current warming and past climatic events as “highly likely” and providing evidence was annoying to read.
Then, tests are performed to determine if the products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration are present in the flasks. The citric acid cycle consists of a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of ATP (Biology). The tests detect the presence of carbon dioxide and ethanol. Carbon dioxide should be present irrespective of the type of respiration taking place, but ethanol is present only if fermentation has occurred. Another factor that can indicate whether fermentation occurred or cellular respiration occurred is the amount of glucose utilized during incubation.
Formations of oceans, atmosphere, and continents. Oxygen build-up began. Single-celled and multi-celled organisms
This reaction would have caused the production of sulfate aerosols.{8} The sulfate aerosols that were in the upper atmosphere would’ve cooled down the climate. The reaction is also likely to have cause acid rain because of a lack of sulfate aerosols in the lower atmosphere caused by the water vapor. Many of the effects of the Chixculub impact did not occur immediately but instead occurred over time and lasted sometimes
Hair or feather on skin is a strong evidence for endothermy. Predator prey ratio- Dinosaurs predator prey ratio was low. That means they had to eat a lot for their survival.
When oxygen is involved, glycolysis is the beginning step of the process known as, aerobic cellular respiration. When oxygen is not involved, cells are only allowed to produce small quantities of ATP, this process is called anaerobic
