Tall grass prairies are located between the Mississippi River and Nebraska. They receive between 10 and 30 inches of rain per year and have a growing season from late spring to early fall when temperatures are between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil is dark brown or black and nutrient-rich due to the dense roots of the native grasses. Common plants include asters, sunflowers, and wildflowers which have adaptations like extensive root systems and upright forms to compete for sunlight. Native animals include bison, deer and small burrowing animals that live in large herds or have warm fur to survive the harsh winters. However, human impacts like farming non-native crops have eliminated most of the natural prairie and its

Grasslands
Grasslands are biomes dominated by grasses rather than trees. They are found across North America, Eurasia, South America, South Africa, and Australia. Grasslands develop in areas with moderate rainfall between 250-800 mm and periodic droughts that prevent the growth of forests but support grasses. Grazing animals and fires help maintain grasslands by preventing the growth of shrubs and trees. Human impacts like plowing for crops, overgrazing, and replacing native plants with domesticated species have degraded many original grasslands.
Festuca californica
California fescue is a perennial bunchgrass native to coastal areas from Oregon to San Luis Obispo in California. It has attractive, tightly bunched blue-green foliage tinged with purple that reaches 1-2 feet tall and wide. It blooms in spring with grass-like flowers held above the foliage. California fescue is commonly used as an ornamental grass in shady areas, as a specimen plant or in masses, and is well-suited for slopes and under oak trees with its fibrous root system and drought tolerance once established. It prefers full sun to part shade and occasional water.

Rainforests
The tropical rainforest is a unique ecosystem with constant high temperatures and rainfall. This creates a unique water and nutrient cycle. However, rainforests are threatened by human expansion and activities like agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development which can lead to deforestation and environmental degradation. While these activities may provide short-term economic benefits, they often come at the cost of significant environmental damage and loss of biodiversity.
Desert
Deserts are dry ecosystems that receive little rainfall and have high temperatures. Plants and animals in deserts have adaptations to survive the harsh conditions like storing water, having waxy coatings, burrowing, and being nocturnal. However, human activities like development, water usage, off-roading, mining, overgrazing, and dumping are negatively impacting desert ecosystems by destroying habitat and reducing populations of native species. Conservation efforts are needed to protect these fragile environments.

Cell resppresentationforuc (rev)
Cellular respiration has three parts: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of cells. Glycolysis breaks down glucose and yields pyruvate, NADH, and ATP. The citric acid cycle further oxidizes pyruvate and produces more NADH, FADH2, ATP, and carbon dioxide. The electron transport chain uses NADH and FADH2 to power the synthesis of additional ATP. Without oxygen, lactic acid fermentation occurs, converting glucose to lactate and yielding less ATP.

Goldenrod galls
The document describes the goldenrod gall fly larva parasite-predator guild associated with Canada goldenrod. It details how the gall fly larva initiates formation of ball galls on the stems by secreting a plant growth hormone. This provides food and shelter for the larva. However, the gall fly larva faces predation from the larvae of two wasp species which are endo- or ectoparasites, and a tumbling flower beetle larva which eats gall fly larvae and other insects in the gall. Other gall-forming insects on goldenrod include a gall moth and midge.
Population profiles
Population profiles compare the proportion of males and females and distribution of age classes in a population. This allows one to predict a country's future population growth and analyze its stage of demographic transition. The document then provides examples of population profiles and structures for countries at different stages of development, from less developed countries with youthful populations to developed countries with older populations and lower birth rates. It discusses how China's one-child policy aimed to control its rapid population growth and transform its population structure over time.

Desdemona's unquestioning devotion to her marriage causes her to continue obeying Othello even after he accuses her of adultery. When Othello calls her a whore in front of Emilia, Desdemona affirms her enduring love for him. According to a critic, Desdemona's willingness to forgive is evident until her death by Othello's hands, as when asked who killed her she says "no one; I myself."
Coniferous forests biome
Coniferous forests are dominated by cone-bearing evergreen trees adapted to cold climates. They have reduced leaf surfaces and remain green year-round to maximize growth during short northern seasons. Species like pines, spruces, and firs are common. Porcupines, squirrels, and birds consume their seeds. Owls and weasels control rodent populations. Moose are the largest browsing herbivores. Fires, though once suppressed, play a natural role in renewing coniferous forests.
Tundra biome
The Tundra biome has very harsh conditions, with frozen soil and low biodiversity. Summers are short, with temperatures barely rising above freezing. Plants must grow and reproduce rapidly in this short summer season. They have adaptations like small leaves and the ability to grow through snow. Animals also have adaptations like thick fur and changing fur color between seasons. Predator and prey populations fluctuate together based on the availability of food sources like lemmings.
Grassland
The grasslands biome is dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants called forbs. It covers more of the Earth's surface than any other biome. North American grasslands can be divided into tallgrass, mixed grass, and shortgrass prairies depending on the average precipitation and height of the dominant grasses. While grasses remain green and growing in the spring and summer, they become brown and dried out in the autumn and winter. Grasslands support a diversity of primary consumers and provide habitat for species like bison, prairie dogs, meadowlarks and rattlesnakes. However, over 99% of North American grasslands have been converted to agricultural use like growing corn and wheat.
Desert
The North American deserts are located east of mountain ranges where moisture-laden winds drop their precipitation on the western slopes, creating rain shadows. These include the Sierra Nevada mountains, which block moisture from reaching deserts. North American deserts experience large temperature ranges from 20-110 degrees Fahrenheit but are generally dry, receiving less than 10 inches of annual precipitation. Vegetation and animals are limited by the arid conditions and low-nutrient soils. Common plant adaptations include shallow, widespread roots and fleshy stems for water storage. Many reptiles, including rattlesnakes, lizards and tortoises, are well-adapted to the desert climate through behaviors like burrowing and crepuscular activity patterns. After rare

The document summarizes the key characteristics of temperate deciduous forests, including the three distinct layers (canopy, subcanopy, ground layer). It describes some common plant species found in each layer and explains how they have adapted to the forest environment. It also discusses some of the animal species that live in these forests and the strategies they use to survive the cold winters, such as migration, hibernation, and insulation.
Tropical rainforests power pt
1) Tropical rainforests have four distinct vegetation layers: the emergent layer, canopy layer, understory layer, and ground layer.
2) Trees in the rainforest have adaptations like buttress roots and drip tips to withstand the wet conditions.
3) Biodiversity is extremely high in the rainforest, with many species of plants, animals, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods adapted to life in the dense canopy.
Goldenrod galls
The document describes the goldenrod gall fly larva parasite-predator guild found on Canada goldenrod. It details how the gall fly larva initiates formation of ball galls by secreting a plant growth hormone. The gall provides shelter and food for the larva. However, some gall fly larvae are parasitized by wasp larvae that eventually kill the fly larva. Other insect larvae like the tumbling flower beetle may also inhabit the gall, preying on its other occupants. A guild is formed by organisms that are tightly interconnected and dependent on each other for survival.
