major effects on the Bay’s health. Also, the text “The Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem states, “Although the effect of our human actions on the plants and animals and their diversity is not as visible as polluted air and water, we must remember that while certain animal species can adapt to a human-dominated landscape, many species cannot.” This piece of evidence explains how important it is to lessen the amount of pollution and runoff that the Bay is at risk of, since many of the animals are affected by different

DESIGN: Research Question: The purpose of this lab is to determine how the wavelength of light that alfalfa sprouts are exposed to affects the rate of photosynthesis in those plants. Hypothesis: Photosynthesis will occur at the highest frequency when the alfalfa plants are exposed to blue light (475 nm) ("What Wavelength Goes With a Color?"). The second highest amount of photosynthesis will occur when the alfalfa plants are exposed to red light (650 nm) ("What Wavelength Goes With a Color

“There’s nothing bigger than a man who learns to grow.” This sentence appeared in the story “The Growin of Paul Bunyan”. I agree with this statement because it’s not an easy choice to make.

(specifically, photosynthesis). Virtually all the energy you use was created by biological processes. (Oil and coal are both ultimately derived from plant matter.) D. Biology connects to my life due to many factors; for one my school is almost completely surrounded by a swamp in which, occasionally, I see its various organisms and plant species. Another way biology connects to my everyday life is the bread I eat, in which before it’s made into a sandwich (or even into bread for that matter)

packaged products, upgrade computers rather than buying new ones... the list is endless! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Make it a habit to reduce the things we need or we consume. Purchase only things that we only need and eat only what you can. Let us do our share not to be part of the problem or should I say part of the garbage problem. Reuse all the things that can still be repaired/fixed or those things that are still okay. Recycle things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books

country in the Middle East is pushing towards is a clear example of how important solar energy has become to these countries. Increase in economy and the many advantages of having solar energy for the environment are two benefits that this source of power is capable of providing to these countries. A limitation of solar panels is an aspect that helps gives both sides to this research paper. Accordingly this research paper discusses how all these factors are benefiting the Middle East and hence should
