The type of pollution pictured is is land pollution. Typically land becomes polluted by household garbage or industrial waste. Here, someone has left a waterbottle  on the side of the road instead of recycling it. Americans produce about 250 million tons on average each year alone. ]]> 2016-07-18 03:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116535990 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536072 Parenchyma is a ground tissue that acts as a filter in soft parts of plants. It forms in the pulp of fruits and is composed of thin walled cells.If you took a microscope to a piece of the deep inside of a peach, you would be able to see parenchyma cells.The groups of parenchyma cells located inside the peach act as storages that contain its constituits.]]> 2016-07-18 03:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536072 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536123 The strawberry plant has more than one way of reproducing . One way is through the normal method of vegetables and fruits where the plant produces flowers that pollinate and turn to fruit and seed.The other way is by asexual reproduction. They accomplish this through stems called runners.Also strawberry plants can produce shoots from the main stem capable of becoming new plants.]]> 2016-07-18 03:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536123 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536212
Pheromones are  odorous substances which are released by one animal and detected by another.Pheromones have been demonstrated in a very large number of organisms ranging from amoebas to fish to mammals, including primates. In humans, they are secreted through sweat. When emitted by one member of a species , it affects another member of the same speciesby altering its hormones or by compelling it to change its behavior. This is true for some animals but it is not definite for humans]]> 2016-07-18 03:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536212 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536250 Plants which only use the Calvin cycle for fixing the carbon dioxide from the air are known as C3 plants. About 85 percent of plants are C3 plants . They include cereal grains :wheat, rice, barley, oats, peanuts,cotton, sugar beets, tobacco, spinach, soybeans, and some trees as well.C3 plants don't function well in arid climates due to photorespiration.]]> 2016-07-18 03:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536250 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536315 Conifer plants are gymnosperms.The pine needles in the picture come from a conifer, and are gymnosperm leaves.Some leaves remain for growing periods, and others drop off after one season.Gymnosperms are heterosporous , so they produce both microspores  and megaspores.]]> 2016-07-18 03:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536315 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536461 Gymnosperm seeds are different than the seeds of other flowering plants which are enclosed within an ovary.Gymosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scales or leaves, and then modify to form cones.This cone that has fallen off a pine tree is a good example of a gymnosperm cone.]]> 2016-07-18 03:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536461 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536501 In such reaction atoms have their oxidation state changed.In a reaction, two things happen : oxidation and reduction.Oxidation is the gaining of bonds to oxygen and reduction is the gaining of hydrogen. The most well known redox reaction is the rusting of metal.]]> 2016-07-18 03:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536501 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536521 Glycogen is a polysaccharide molecule stored in animal cells along with water and is used as a source of energy. When broken down in the body, it is transformed into glucose.After an animal dies, blood circulation stops and muscles exhaust their oxygen supply. Muscle can no longer use oxygen , and begin forming glycogen. In the raw meat pictured, you can see the white spots of glycogen forming in the meat.]]> 2016-07-18 03:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116536521 chasebabuspj https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116582067 R-Strategists spread quickly in unfavorable environments for the sole purpose of survival. The population size is large but always exhibits rapid fluctuation. Their reproductive strategy is focused on maximizing offspring while not paying much attention to the offspring. Weeds, mosquitos, and mice are all R-strategists. ]]> 2016-07-18 23:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chasebabuspj/frdug33dmlbn/wish/116582067
