    Salt marsh is an ecosystem flooded and drained by salt water as a result of tides. They are usually muddy due to the soil composed of deep peat and mud. Such lands have been deemed worthless by many hence being used as dumps by industrial and residential developers. This has hence resulted to the loss of many biological habits, pollution trapping, and storm buffering. Despite being highly polluted salt marshes protect the shorelines from erosion through trapping the sediments by buffering wave action (Raven, 2012).…

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

    This article targets the increased interest of how microbial communities and the environment affect one another through impacting the evolutionary features of the organisms they interact with. Shifts within the environment can consist of predictable and unpredictable changes. Predictable changes are consistent shifts in the surrounding environment that occur daily or seasonally. Animals and plants developed the use of external cues that regulate this when predictable changes in their environment occur. Examples of this regulation may be temperature cycles or the length of time photosynthesis will occur.…

    This English 101 class has helped me in variety of ways in gaining and shaping skills in writing. I learned how do compose several types of essays including: professional, informal, casual, cause and effect, and argumentative and was given the format for writing these. Every week, the class was given one of these types of essay to write and throughout the class periods, I would start and finish them. I saw that if I outline these essays with key points of my topic before I officially being writing the first draft, an essay is not difficult to come up with. I would only have to include transitions, which I also learned, and maybe a few more sentences to make my ideas connect properly and flow smoothly.…

    The mechanisms of evolution are mutation, gene flow, genetic drift and natural selection. These mechanisms are based upon the changes that occur within an organism’s gene pool and how they affect those organisms and their survivability. Some of these mechanisms of evolution move quickly and affect large populations while others are slow moving and affect small populations. Not all of the evolutionary mechanisms are positive and benefit the population’s long term survival. Commonly these negative effects wipe out smaller populations that tend to be more isolated that large populations which have more genes to stave off the effects.…
