Jojoba- Simmondsia Chinensis Simmondsia Chinenses is more often referred to as jojoba, and is valued for the oil that can be extracted from its seeds. The oil is waxy and mimics human sebum, a naturally secreted oil, making a useful moisturizer as it lowers the amount of sebum produced by human skin. This quality is why jojoba oil is popular for cosmetic use in both hair and facial products, in addition to being used by itself as a moisturizer. However, it’s commercial success is cause to…

tropic levels can be found here. The first tropic level consists of primary producers, which is known to be plants. Plants surrounded the lake mostly. For the second tropic level, it consists of primary consumers, known to be herbivores as well. One specific kind of herbivores I observed in the park, like last time was squirrels. The squirrels were continuing to find food for hibernation. In the higher tropic level, most of the species are considered to be carnivores. I did not find carnivores…

The most common plants in the freshwater biome are algae, reeds, underwater plants, and phytoplankton. These plants are important because herbivores and omnivores need them to start basic life because these are found in almost every freshwater biome. And according to the region that they are in, the plantlife increases or decreases. So, now I’ll give you a short summary to review. There are…

Wolves had been missing in Yellowstone National Park for more than 70 years. As a result, the ecosystem of the Park had completely changed. Without any predator that threatened them, the number of deer had grown overreact, destroying vegetation and forcing other species to look elsewhere in order to survive. In 1995 they decided to reintroduce a small number of wolves. Only with their presence, the wolves managed to recover the entire ecosystem: from bears, foxes, eagles, otters, up to all kinds…

One of the most renowned rewilding projects which has demonstrated the effects rewilding has on a whole ecosystem, was the reintroduction of grey wolves (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone National Park in the North West of the United States. The wolves were reintroduced to the park in 1995-1996 and have subsequently recolonised the whole park and some of the surrounding area known as the greater Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) (Smith et al., 2003). The reintroduction of the wolves has had a great effect…

required and being unnecessary for humans is not correct. There are several evidences and arguments against this position regarding meat eating. There is a certain fact that all animals have digestive system that related to their eating habits. An herbivore animal cannot digest meat if it is not omnivorous. People who claim we do not need meat for our diet is basically wrong on that point because we do have a digestive system that allows us to eat meat. Also with the fact that no parts of any…

1. The honey possum has a long pointed snout, a brush-tipped tongue, reduced jawbones and muscles, and pointed incisors and canines but small peg-like teeth. It also has ridges across the roof of its mouth. Explain how these adaptations relate to the animal’s diet, which is usually a mixture of nectar and pollen. 
 Answer The honey possum’s adaptations relate to its diet because they do not need massive jawbones and muscles to eat the pollen and nectar. Their long pointed snout and brush-tipped…

Intro: A. Alkaloids are the most diverse group of natural products that exist within living organisms (Hartmann, 1998). Alkaloids are a diverse group of low molecular weight; nitrogen-containing compounds mainly derived from amino acids, and are found in about 20% of plant species. Alkaloids play a very important role in organism metabolism and functional activity. They are metabolic products in plants, animals and microorganisms (Aniszewski, 2007). Due to their potent biological activity, many…

There are many invasive species in the world. Invasive species is plants animals that are non-native to a location. (National Wildlife Federation) Invasive species can come from any place from around the world. Many people believed that the animals that are in the United States were always here but that is not necessarily true. A invasive species would be Bemisia Tabaci which is its scientific name but it is also known as the Silverleaf Whitefly. (National Agricultural Library) The original…

Unlike the Saurischians, which included herbivores as well as carnivores, all Ornithischians were herbivores. Another difference is seen in the skull, which had small reduced openings between the eye sockets and nostrils. Ornithischians are also united by a three pronged pelvic bone and a unique jaw and dental evolution. This…
