...to make ATP in a chemical reaction where oxygen and water is involved (Ege R. and A. Krogh 1914).The use of oxygen is very important; therefore the efficient acquisition of oxygen is very necessary for an animal’s survival. Depending on what type of organism is involved, our sources of oxygen are different and occur through diffusion. Terrestrial animals obtain oxygen through the air while organisms living in water depend on the oxygen from the water. Unlike terrestrial animals, the amount of oxygen for animals living in water is limited based on the amount of oxygen that has dissolved in the water. Since an adequate amount of oxygen is necessary, animals developed respiratory organs to help them ventilate and obtain as much oxygen from their respected sources as possible (W.C and R. Oesting 1934). One organism that has developed an efficient way of acquiring oxygen is fish. Fish use a counter-current exchange system to extract oxygen from water through lamellae of their gills. The water from the outside and the blood of the fish flows in opposite directions. As water passes through the gills, carbon dioxide produced by the fish diffuses out of the blood and into the water (Bio 102 Lab Manual). As the fish ventilates, the operculum which is the layer that covers the gills, is closely observed in...

As you and your children are walking you start to realize that you are not really seeing any wildlife that should be very abundant in this area. You also are noticing that there are not as many wild flowers and plants that were also here. You finally realize that you will not be able to give your children the wonderful memories that you received as a child. As you may have realized that this is a problem that we are starting to see and face today. Many times animals become extinct causing changes to the scientific life cycle, environment, scenic sights, food sources and many others. This has a drastic affect not only one our habitat and environment but can and will also affect us as humans. We as people can prevent and preserve this beauty for future generations all we have to do is understand the problem and take action. We need to educate ourselves and our children of the importance of animals and how to protect them. We need to understand what happens when we introduce an exotic species to an area, about pollution, habitat destruction, over using animals, poaching, the punishment for poaching, and how we can help prevent all of this. Every day we are rapidly losing many different plant and animal species. With this rapid decrease of these animals and plants we start to lose the beautiful sights...

...Black Bear Black bears are one of the more common species in North America. They live in many different habitats are not picky about what they eat. Their keen sense of smell gives them much information about their environment and foods they eat. The American black bear is considered a threatened species in some areas. In fact they are protected in the states of Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi. In other areas they are actively hunted and are subject to open "hunting seasons". CHARACTERISTICS Black bear anatomy includes a straight face and flat shoulders. It has ears that are often pointed and a short tail. Fur color can vary from black to chocolate brown with gray combinations. One of the more notable facts about this species is that they are excellent climbers, even when cubs. The black bear is very adaptable. They are quite intelligent and curious. But this smaller bear is very shy and generally avoids confrontations. Records of human attacks are rare.

...(South Pole Ocean or Antarctic Ocean) and the North Pacific Ocean. They are generally absent from the North Atlantic Ocean, althoughfossil remains show they once occurred there too and occasional vagrants are encountered. Albatrosses are colonial, nesting for the most part on remote oceanic islands, often with several species nesting together. Pair bonds between males and females form over several years, with the use of ritualized dances, and will last for the life of the pair. A breeding season can take over a year from laying to fledging, with a single egg laid in each breeding attempt. Albatrosses are highly efficient in the air, using dynamic soaring and slope soaring to cover great distances with little exertion. They feed on squid, fish, and krill by either scavenging, surface seizing, or diving. The albatrosses are usually regarded as falling into four genera, but there is disagreement over the number of species. The four genera are the great albatrosses (Diomedea), the mollymawks (Thalassarche), the North Pacific albatrosses (Phoebastria), and the sooty albatrosses or sooties (Phoebetria). Of the 21 species of albatrosses recognized by the IUCN, 19 are threatened with extinction....

...[pic] Name: I.D Sec Instructor Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. The water pollution situation from Bangladesh could be the largest poisoning in history and the irony is that this situation could be the result of all the efforts in cleaning the water for some of the poorest nations of the world. Sources of pollution: Factories, power plants and sewage treatment plants are considered point sources of water pollution, because they emit pollutants at discrete locations, usually through a pipe that leads to a lake or stream. Nonpoint sources of water pollution are scattered or diffused. [pic] Rivers of Bangladesh Bangladesh is a riverine country. About 300 rivers including tributaries flow through the country constituting a waterway of total length around 24,140 km. Following is a list of some of the major rivers of Bangladesh. • Brahmaputra River • Buriganga River • Karnaphuli River • Meghna River • Padma River • Jamuna River • Turag River • Role of the rivers Rivers are the most important geographical features in Bangladesh, and it is the rivers that created the vast alluvial delta.

...face major health problems at this stage in their lives and are often relegated to homes where they are looked after by nurses and caretakers. Older people’s energy needs are a balance of protein, carbohydrate and fat is needed, even as calorie (energy) requirements decline with age, particularly if physical activity is restricted. Although this often means eating less, requirements for protein, vitamins and minerals remain largely unchanged. The total daily kcal requirement is 1900 for women and 2330 for men. Energy requirements decline with increasing age. It is, therefore, important that older people choose a nutrient-dense diet, including foods which contain protein, vitamins and minerals such as milk and dairy products, meat, eggs, fish, bread, cereals, and fruit and vegetables. The nutritional requirements sometimes differ from male to female. Below is a chart with the necessary daily requirements for older persons aging 65 and up. Older Persons (65+) | Male | Female | Protein | 56 g | 46 g | Fiber | ≥30 g | ≥21 g | Water (Fluids) | 3.7L (6-8 cups) | 2.7L (6-8 cups) | Folic Acid | 300 mcg (0.3 mg) | 300 mcg (0.3 mg) | Minerals | Calcium (Ca) | 800 mg | 800 mg | | Iron (Fe) | 14.8 g | 14.8 g | | Sodium (S) | ≥1600 mg | ≥1400 mg | | Potassium (K) | 3500 mg | 3500 mg | | Phosphorus (P) | 550 mg | 550 mg | | Magnesium (Mg) | 270 mg |...

...Ever since lentils have been discovered they have provided people with a viable source of sustenance. The wide variety of lentils paired with the health benefits and the rich history has kept lentils relevant up to the modern era. Once considered a poor person’s food lentils have affected history through thousands of years and across the globe. The earliest archeological dating of lentils is from the Paleolithic and Mesolithic layers of the Franchthi Cave in Greece. The Greeks were one of the first groups of people to include lentils in their diet. The word lentil comes from the Latin word lens, since it is shaped like the double convex optic lens, similar to the shape of the human eye. The lentil grew in popularity during the old world agricultural boom along with other culinary staples such as wheat, emmer and barley. Lentils were considered as a cheap substitute for meat and were commonly eaten by poor Catholics during lent instead of fish. It was not until the enlightenment period during the 18th century that lentils would regain some of their fallen reputation....

...Five Historical Events Influenced by the Depletion of Resources SCI/245 Axia College University of Phoenix June 28, 2012 Will Romine Associate Program Material Resource Worksheet Use the following table to identify five historical events influenced by the depletion of natural resources. Explain each event in at least 150 words. Event | What Happened? | Cubagua’s Pearl-Oyster Beds: TheFirst Depletion of a NaturalResource Caused by Europeans inthe American Continent | Archeological evidence suggests that the first humans never settled permanentlyin Cubagua, but only visited the islands with the purpose to exploit the rich oyster bedsboth for food as well as pearls for ornamentation. The lack of fresh water and significantvegetation made permanent settlement difficult. To this day, only a few fishers temporarily settle on the island.Dating back to 1498 the area of Cubagua has been heavily used for the rich oyster beds due to Spain wanting more and more riches.The richest areas were east to Cubagua and Coche, east and southeast of Margarita, and northwest of the Araya peninsula. This section of the coastline was soon to become known as the Pearls’ Coast (“Costa de las Perlas”).By 1531 the depletion was becoming more evident; Spain began to limit the number of boats and divers as well as the number of hours to only four per day. They also restricted the depth to which they could dive. These quotas were not of much help as the rules only applied to certain oyster...
