Biodiversity conservation final [compatibility mode]
This document discusses biodiversity and the threats facing it. It defines biodiversity as including all organisms, species, populations, and their genetic variation. Biodiversity exists at the genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. The document estimates that there are millions of species but many remain undiscovered. Natural processes can cause extinction, but the current rate is much higher than in the past due to human threats like habitat destruction, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution, climate change and more. India is a megadiverse country facing severe threats and has established protected areas and laws to promote conservation.
Conservation biology
This document discusses various topics related to conservation of natural resources in India, including deforestation, afforestation programs, dams and their negative effects, mineral resources, controversies around hydropower, pollution control measures, developing greenery, preservation of water resources, global food problems, issues with fertilizers and pesticides, energy resources and saving tips, land degradation, soil erosion prevention methods like mulching, composting, and crop rotation, as well as natural disasters around the world. It stresses the importance of protecting natural resources for future generations rather than wasting them.
Conservation Biology
Chapter 5.2 of Conservation Biology discusses methods for protecting biodiversity and natural resources. It covers legal protections for endangered species under acts like the U.S. Endangered Species Act and CITES. It also discusses preserving habitats through national parks and habitat corridors. Sustainable use programs aim to enable resource use while maintaining ecosystems. Reintroduction and species preservation programs work to save species like the California condor and black-footed ferret. Some species exist only in captivity.
What's the Matter?
The document provides information for an introductory chemistry unit titled "Matter and Measurement". It includes:
1) Learning objectives around systems being organised and developing methods for classification, measurement, and hypothesis testing.
2) Details of assessment tasks involving a unit test, science communication activities, and laboratory experiments.
3) An orientation to lab safety rules and equipment.
4) An assignment for students to create a science demonstration on water changes of state for younger students.
5) Guidance on the scientific method and variables to consider in experimentation.
Atomic Science
The document discusses atomic science and radioactive decay. It introduces key concepts like alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and the factors that influence nuclear stability. Students are given various assessment tasks to help them learn concepts like drawing atomic models, defining atomic terminology, investigating isotopes, and exploring the forces that hold the nucleus together or cause it to decay.
Electricity
No, adding another component like a bulb to a parallel circuit will affect all the bulbs. The current splits up to go through each path, so adding another path reduces the current through each bulb, making them all dimmer. The total current from the battery is shared between the components.
Conservation APBio
The document discusses biodiversity and conservation biology. It explains that conservation biology aims to preserve biodiversity by preventing species extinction, maintaining genetic diversity, and preserving ecosystems. Ecosystems provide important services that support human life like clean air and water. However, human activities like habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change are threatening biodiversity by driving species extinction rates far above background levels. Integrated efforts are needed across many fields to promote more sustainable practices and conserve biodiversity.
resource use conflicts and biodiversity conservation in jozani ecosystem, zan...
Resource Conflicts are the major challenge to the responsible Institutions in the management and conservation of biodiversity in Zanzibar due to the existence of multiple and interactive reasons that lead to conflicts. This paper intends to reveal the less known current status of resource conflicts in the management of biodiversity in Jozani ecosystem, Zanzibar. The study employed descriptive survey research design of the causal comparative research design to collect data from 280 respondents which constitute the study population. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, mean, frequency, standard deviation and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. The outcome of the study showed that there is significant relationship existed between resource conflicts and the management of biodiversity conservation in Jozani ecosystem. The study has implications for environmental policy makers. The study concludes by asserting that unemployment, poverty and scarcity of environmental resources are the major causes of conflict, therefore the call is directed to policy makers to strengthen efforts on resolving conflicts by establishing overall strategies such as establishment of participatory community-based approaches to natural resource management, conflict resolution capacity building measures among the stakeholders, amendment of Laws and expansion of employment to reduce direct relying on using natural resource assets for livelihood.
Pathogens and Disease (Grade 10)
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
Transcription & Translation (Core)
Fireflies produce a chemical reaction in their abdomen that emits light without raising their temperature. This chemical reaction involves enzymes, oxygen, the compound luciferin, and the enzyme luciferase. When luciferase interacts with luciferin, ATP, magnesium, and oxygen, it causes the luciferin to emit a glow without producing heat in a process called bioluminescence.
DNA Replication (Core and AHL)
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Forces & Changes in Motion
The document compares the world record breaking skydives of Joe Kittinger in 1960 and Felix Baumgartner in 2012, noting that Baumgartner jumped from a higher altitude of 39,045m compared to Kittinger's 31,300m, allowing Baumgartner to reach a higher maximum speed of 1342.8 km/h over Kittinger's 988km/h. The document also explores the factors like air pressure and density that influence terminal velocity and made Baumgartner's higher jump necessary to break the speed of sound record.
Communities
1) Ecosystems have trophic structures that determine energy flow and nutrient cycling through feeding relationships between species organized into trophic levels.
2) Producers, which include photosynthetic plants, algae, and bacteria, occupy the first trophic level and support all other levels by harnessing solar or chemical energy.
3) Consumers are organisms that feed on producers or other consumers and are ranked according to the trophic level they occupy, such as herbivores on the first level or carnivores on higher levels.
How International Is Our School? MA Dissertation
This dissertation describes the development and pilot testing of tools to evaluate the international-mindedness and global engagement (IMaGE) of schools. The author conducted a literature review to define IMaGE and identify 8 factors ("radials") that influence it. Rubrics were created to measure each radial. The tools were pilot tested via case study at the author's international school in Japan. 10 faculty volunteers used the rubrics to assess the school's IMaGE, generating a "web chart." Results provided preliminary feedback on the school's IMaGE and identified areas for improvement. While limitations restrict reliability, the web chart showed potential as an evaluation tool if further developed and tested with larger samples. The study aimed to advance understanding of

Chemistry Lab Manual 2012-13
Here are the steps to improve the accuracy and precision of measurements:
1. Calibrate equipment regularly using standard samples of known mass/volume. This reduces systematic error.
2. Use appropriate precision tools - e.g. measuring cylinders for liquids, not beakers. This reduces random error.
3. Take multiple measurements and report the average. This reduces the effect of random error.
4. Record measurements to an appropriate number of significant figures based on the precision of the tool. This communicates the level of uncertainty.
5. Consider and report possible sources of error, both systematic and random. This provides full context for the results.
Following these steps helps produce measurements that are both accurate to

Describing Motion 2012
The document provides an introduction to describing motion through kinematics. It discusses key concepts such as scalars and vectors, distance and displacement, speed and velocity. It presents various methods for describing displacement including using components, magnitude and direction, and vector diagrams. The document also examines how to calculate speed and velocity from changes in distance or displacement over time. Graphs such as distance-time and velocity-time graphs are introduced as ways to represent motion. Students are encouraged to practice these concepts through activities such as an orienteering course and analyzing motion data.
