Salinity
=============================================================
Homeostasis : it is the property of a framework in which a variable (for instance, the grouping of
a substance in arrangement, or its temperature) is effectively managed to stay practically
consistent. This direction happens inside a characterized domain (for the most part inside a living
life form's body). Cases of homeostasis incorporate the direction of the body temperature of a
creature, the pH of its extracellular liquids, or the convergences of sodium (Na+) and calcium
(Ca2+) particles or of glucose in the blood plasma, in spite of changes in the creature's
condition, or what it has eaten, or what it is doing ., which, together, look after life. Homeostats
are vitality expending physiological instrument.
=============================================================
Kelps : They are extensive ocean growth (green growth) having a place with the chestnut green
growth (Phaeophyceae) in the request Laminariales. There are around 30 diverse genera.Kelp
develops in "submerged backwoods" (kelp woods) in shallow seas, and is thought to have
showed up in the Miocene, 23 to 5 million years prior. The living beings require supplement rich
water with temperatures in the vicinity of 6 and 14 °C (43 and 57 °F). They are known for their
high development rate—the genera Macrocystis and Nereocystis can develop as quick as a large
portion of a meter a day, at last achieving 30 to 80 meters (100 to 260 ft).Through the nineteenth
century, "kelp" was nearly connected with ocean growth that could be singed to acquire pop
fiery remains (principally sodium carbonate). The ocean growth utilized included species from
both the requests Laminariales and Fucales. "Kelp" was likewise utilized specifically to allude
to these prepared fiery debris.

CHAPTER 6 Botkin, D. B., & Keller, E. A. (2014). Environmental science: Earth as a living planet (9th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc · Chapter 6: Ecosystems: Concepts and Fundamentals 6.1 the Ecosystem: Sustaining Life on Earth We tend to associate life with individual organisms, for the obvious reason that it is individuals that are alive. But sustaining life on Earth requires more than individuals or even single populations or species. Life is sustained by the interactions of many organisms functioning together, interacting through their physical and chemical environments. We call this an ecosystem. Sustained life on Earth, then, is a characteristic of ecosystems, not of individual organisms or populations. As the opening case study about Lyme disease illustrates, to understand important environmental issues—such as controlling undesirable species; conserving endangered species; sustaining renew- able resources; and minimizing the effects of toxic sub- stances—we must understand the basic characteristics of ecosystems. Basic Characteristics of Ecosystems Ecosystems have several fundamental characteristics, which we can group as structure and processes. Ecosystem Structure An ecosystem has two major parts: nonliving and living. The nonliving part is the physical-chemical environment, including the local atmosphere, water, and mineral soil (on land) or other substrate (in water). The living part, called the ecological community, is the set of species interacting within the ecosystem. Ecosystem Functions and Processes Two basic kinds of processes (sometimes referred to as ecosystem functions) must occur in an ecosystem: a cycling of chemical elements and a flow of energy. These processes are necessary for all life, but no single species can carry out all necessary chemical cycling and energy flow alone. That is why we said that sustained life on Earth is a characteristic of ecosystems, not of individuals or populations. At its most basic, an ecosystem consists of several species and a fluid medium—air, water, or both (Figure 6.4). Ecosystem energy flow places a fundamental limit on the abundance of life. Energy flow is a difficult subject, which we will discuss in Section 6.4. Ecosystem chemical cycling is complex as well, and for that reason we have devoted a separate chapter (Chapter 7) to chemical cycling within ecosystems and throughoutthe entire Earth’s biosphere. Briefly, 21 chemical elements are required by at least some form of life, and each chemical element required for growth and reproduction must be available to each organism at the right time, in the right amount, and in the right ratio relative to other elements. These chemical elements must also be recycled— converted to a reusable form: Wastes are converted into food, which is converted into wastes, which must be converted once again into food, with the cycling going on indefinitely if the ecosystem is to remain viable. For recycling of chemical ele ...

What does this illustrate? hybridization macroevolution hybrid inviability adaptive radiation allometric radiation One critical requirement for life to arise on Earth was time for which to occur? The salinity of the oceans to stabilize The Earth\'s various climates to stabilize Molecules to accumulate and react with one another The atmospheric temperature to increase sufficiently The ozone layer to form, so that the level of ultraviolet radiation was reduced What is most likely to occur if a parasite accidentally introduced into the Great Lakes kills 95% of all living organisms living in the lakes? fusion in a hybrid zone evolution of a surviving organism mass extinction of the surviving organisms adaptive radiation of the surviving populations: allopatric speciation in the surviving organisms. Solution Answer: 7. (d) Adaptive radiation Adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, creates new challenges, or opens new environmental niches. An example of adaptive radiation would be the avian species of the Hawaiian honeycreepers. Through natural selection, these birds adapted rapidly and converged based on the different environments of the Hawaiian islands..

Describe and contrast allopatric speciation and sympatric speciation. Which is more common? How do they typically take place? Outline the steps/process of each. Give a least one example of each. Solution 5). Allopatric speciation or geographic speciation is speciation that occurs while biological populations of the same species become vicariant. For instance, adaptive radiation, as observed by Charles Darwin in Galapagos finches, is a consequence of allopatric speciation in the midst of island populations. The mechanism of adaptive radiation is known as allopatric speciation, in which one species in particular population differs from all other species (isolated species) and genetic exchange is also prevented among these species. Physical barriers such as a mountain range or long waterways may makes impossible for them to mate. So, these isolated species develop or evolve according to their habitat, because their gene modifications go in that direction (natural selection!). Disruptive selection is one of the main driving forces of sympatric speciation. Sympatric speciation is different and perhaps it does not exist. It occurs when there are no physical barriers that prevent species to mate together. The occurrence of speciation may be depends on availability of different food sources and existence of different shelters..

Write down the complex potential for a source of strength m located at z=ih and a source of strength m located at z= -ih. Show that the real axis is a streamline in the resulting flow field, and so deduce that the complex potential for the two sources is also the complex potential for a flat plate located along y= 0 with a source of strength m located a distance h above it. Obtain the pressure on the upper surface of the plate mentioned above from Bernoulli’s equation. Integrate the pressure difference over the entire surface of the plate, and so show that the force acting on the plate due to the presence of the source is (rho)*m^2/(4*(pi)*h).Take the pressure along the lower surface of the plate to be equal to the stagnation pressure in the fluid. Solution z = x + i y z=x+iy Complex potential general form: F ( z ) = + i F(z)=+i Complex potential for a source of strength m : F ( z ) = m/ 2 log ( z z 0 ) F(z)=m2log(zz0) Bernoulli\'s equation for ideal irrotational flow: t + p + 1 2 G = F ( t ) t+p+12G=F(t) where F ( t ) F(t) is the unsteady Bernoulli constant y=0 is a streamline in the flow field. Separate real and imaginary parts of the complex potential so that I can isolate and show that = 0 at y=0. Tease out from the complex potential + i = m 2 log ( z 2 h 2 ) +i=m2log(z2h2), take the exponential of each side to get rid of the log function, and my i term is tied up in an exponential e + i = e m 2 ( z 2 h 2 ) e+i=em2(z2h2). Since this flow is ideal, irrotational, and steady that Bernoulii\'s equation would simplify down to p + 1 2 G = 0.

Why is knowledge of the heritability of a trait important for the study of evolution? Solution Hereditary is the passage of genetic information for traits from one generation to another generation throught assexual or sequal reproduction. Evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population of the organisms, when mutations changes the genetic sequences are inherited across the successive generations. So, the knowledge of heritability of a trait will give an idea about the genetic history and relationship with the ancestors of the organism is important for the study of evolution..

Compare and contrast the physical characteristic of protozoans, yeast, and algae. Solution Protozoans Most of the protozoans possess the size range of 10 to 52 micrometers. They can also grow as large as 1mm and are visible through the microscope. They were previously included in the Protista family. Protozoans live in the aqueous environments and soil that range widely in the trophic levels. They move with flagella, cilia or pseudopodia. Protozoans absorb food through cell membranes. Sporozoans are non-motile forms. Amoeba is the protozoan which does not have structural components in its cell membrane. Protozoans are eukaryotic and possess developed organelles. Their cells do not possess cell walls. Yeast Some of the dry yeasts that are utilized in the alcoholic fermentation and baking are the agglomerates of dehydrated cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The powders prepared from the different yeasts vary in terms of the genetic strain and their specificity in the industrial application. The physical characteristics of these yeast powders differ. The powders of wine yeasts and dry baker’s yeast exposed to different levels of relative humidity are identified with the help of electron microscopy and mechanical analysis. The physical characteristics of the yeasts that were used to differentiate them include loose bulk density, compressibility, cohesion, recoverable work in compression, angle of internal friction, and residual asymptotic modulus after stress relaxation. Algae Algae are plants that do not have clear distinction in true roots, stem and leaves. They bear unicellular or multicellular sex organs that are visible outside. Algae live in aquatic, fresh water and marine water habitats. Algae that are terrestrial live in the soil, rocks, tree trunks and so on. Halophytic algae live in saline waters, epizoic algae grow on snails and fish. Endozoic algae live inside the animals and symbiotic algae live in association with the fungi, bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms. There are unicellular or colonial forms of algae or thallus. They exist as filaments, siphons, and parenchymatous forms. The various pigments present in the algae include chlorophyll, carotenoids and phycobilins. The reserved food materials of different algae include cyonophycean starch, starch, floridean starch, laminarin and mannitol. Size of unicellular alga is about 3micrometers. Multicellular algae vary in their size from 50micrometers to 1mm..

What does the fossil record of Basilosaurid whales tell us about whale evolution? Solution Early whales,like Basilosaurus have tailfins.Such skeletal changes that accommodate an aquatic lifestyle are especially pronounced in basilosaurids.Their elbow joints were able to lock,allowing the forelimb to serve as a better control surface and resist the oncoming flow of water as the animal propelled itself forward.The hindlimbs of these animals were almost nonexistent.They were so tiny but well-formed hind legs of basilosaurids were probably used as claspers when mating.The pelvic bones associated with these hind limbs were not connected to the vertebral column as they were in protocetids.They were fully recognizable whales which lived entirely in the ocean.This is supported by their fossils usually found in deposits indicative of fully marine environments.The fossilised stomach contents in one basilosaurid indicates that it ate fish.From the ear bones to the ankle bones,whales belong with the hippos and other artiodactyls.Basilosaurid are the intermediates between the Ambulocetus and the modern whales..

The hardenability curves of several iron alloys are shown in the figure below. In terms of alloying additions, 1040<5140<8640<4140<4340. Explain briefly the effect of alloying addition to the hardenability of the iron alloys. Solution The image is not uploaded sir, you can repost including the image. for the effect of alloying addition to the hardenability of the iron alloys: Iron is a great buildingmaterial but steel (an alloy made by adding small amounts of nonmetallic carbon to iron) is stronger, harder, and rustproof. Aluminum is a very light metal but it\'s also very soft in its pure form. Add small amounts of the metals magnesium, manganese, and copper and you make a superb aluminum alloy called duralumin, which is strong enough to make airplanes. There are two mechanisms that can cause an alloy to form, called atom exchange and the interstitial mechanism. The relative size of each element in the mix plays a primary role in determining which mechanism will occur. When the atoms are relatively similar in size, the atom exchange method usually happens, where some of the atoms composing the metallic crystals are substituted with atoms of the other constituent. This is called a substitutional alloy. With the interstitial mechanism, one atom is usually much smaller than the other, so cannot successfully replace an atom in the crystals of the base metal. The smaller atoms become trapped in the spaces between the atoms in the crystal matrix, called the interstices. This is referred to as an interstitial alloy. Steel is an example of an interstitial alloy, because the very small carbon atoms fit into interstices of the iron matrix that\'s what makes it more hard Sulfur, when present, forms iron sulfide, which prevents the formation of graphite and increases hardness. The problem with sulfur is that it makes molten cast iron viscous, which causes short run defects. To counter the effects of sulfur, manganese is added because the two form intomanganese sulfide instead of iron sulfide. The manganese sulfide is lighter than the melt so it tends to float out of the melt and into the slag. The amount of manganese required to neutralize sulfur is 1.7 × sulfur content + 0.3%. If more than this amount of manganese is added, then manganese carbide forms, which increases hardness andchilling, except in grey iron, where up to 1% of manganese increases strength and density Titanium is added as a degasser and deoxidizer, but it also increases fluidity. 0.15–0.5% vanadium is added to cast iron to stabilize cementite, increase hardness, and increase resistance to wear and heat. 0.1–0.3% zirconium helps to form graphite, deoxidize, and increase fluidity.[3] In malleable iron melts, bismuth is added, on the scale of 0.002–0.01%, to increase how much silicon can be added. In white iron, boron is added to aid in the production of malleable iron; it also reduces the coarsening effect of bismuth.

Solution The question it self is a blender. Because, if the parents have normal vision, In of XXY, the Y chromosome came from father. The two X chromosomes might came from mother. Here the Mother had normal vision means she might act as a carrier (Xx). The the same is present in the a man with Klinefelter syndrome the genotype would me XxY. Due to presence of Normal X chromosome surely he should have a normal vision.
