Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical clones. It occurs through mitosis, binary fission, budding, fragmentation, regeneration, and vegetative reproduction. Common organisms that reproduce asexually include hydra, sea stars, strawberries, and yeast. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with a mix of both parents' genes. It is found in animals, plants, and some other eukaryotic organisms and can occur internally or externally.

What factors influence ecosystems
Plants and animals depend on each other to survive in an ecosystem. They are biotic factors that interact through providing food and shelter. Animals also affect plants through behaviors like eating some plants, fertilizing soil, and burrowing. Abiotic factors like sunlight, water, soil conditions and climate also impact ecosystems by influencing what plants can grow and whether animals have resources to live. Ecosystems vary based on location and climate, with different communities in places like rainforests, deserts, deciduous forests, savannas, taigas and tundras.
Species extinction
This document discusses mass extinction events that have occurred throughout history. It provides details on 5 major extinction events, including their timing in millions of years ago and potential causes such as asteroid impacts, volcanic activity, climate change from glaciation or warming. The document also discusses various factors that can lead to species extinction, including climate change, changes in sea levels/currents, asteroids/cosmic radiation, acid rain, disease, invasive species, habitat loss, pollution, and human population growth.
Extinction of biodiversity
The document discusses extinction and biodiversity loss. It defines extinction as occurring when the last member of a species dies. The passenger pigeon is provided as an example, with the last one dying alone in a zoo in 1914 after the species was already functionally extinct in the wild. Major causes of extinction discussed include habitat degradation and destruction from human activities like pollution, climate change, and overpopulation. Statistics are given on current extinction rates from human impacts being 1500 times the natural rate, with many species projected to be lost in the coming centuries if trends continue. The major impacts of biodiversity loss on human concerns like medicine, agriculture, ecosystem services, and moral obligations are also briefly touched on.
Abiotic factors
Abiotic factors are non-living elements of an ecosystem including soil, water, temperature, air, and light. Soil provides nourishment to plants while air and water are essential for respiration and photosynthesis in organisms. Proper levels of these abiotic resources are necessary for organisms' metabolic activities and survival within an ecosystem.
Unit 2 earth & space
This document provides information about spiraling concepts in geology, meteorology, and astronomy across grade levels 7-10 in the Philippines. In geology, concepts about earthquakes and volcanoes are introduced starting in grade 7 and built upon in subsequent grades, culminating in plate tectonics in grade 10. Meteorology concepts about atmospheric phenomena, typhoons, and climate are also introduced and expanded over grades 7-9. Astronomy topics like the solar system, stars, and motions of celestial bodies are taught from grades 7-9. The document includes examples of learning objectives and activities for different grade levels.
Responding to the Environment
Plants and animals need to respond to their environment in order to survive and reproduce. Plants respond through processes like tropism, where they grow towards or away from stimuli. They also use plant hormones like auxins and gibberellins to control processes like cell elongation, growth, and responses to stress. Animals respond using their nervous and endocrine systems. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions and uses sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. Hormones like adrenaline also trigger the fight or flight response when an animal perceives danger.
Theories of the earth's crustal movement powerpoint
The document summarizes theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. In 1915, Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift, which states that parts of the Earth's crust slowly drift atop a liquid core. Wegener hypothesized that around 200 million years ago, all the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea later broke apart into smaller supercontinents, and by the end of the Cretaceous period the continents had separated into their modern positions. In the 1960s, Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, which provided support for continental drift by showing how ocean floors spread outward from underwater ridges. Plate tectonics expanded on these ideas
Cell Theory
1. The cell theory states that the cell is the basic unit of life, all living things are made of cells, and cells come from pre-existing cells.
2. Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented the first microscope and was the first to observe bacteria and protists. Matthais Schleiden and Theodor Schwann contributed to the cell theory by stating that plants and animals are made of cells, respectively.
3. Rudolph Virchow completed the cell theory by discovering that cells can only arise from pre-existing cells.

Biodiversity and evolution
This document discusses the causes of species extinction, including deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and overpopulation. It defines key terms like biodiversity, extinction, and species. Several human activities are highlighted as contributing to extinction, such as illegal logging, kaingin farming, water pollution from domestic waste and factories, air pollution from vehicles, and destruction of coastal ecosystems through dynamite fishing and development. The greenhouse effect and climate change are also discussed as global issues exacerbating extinction. In summary, the document outlines the biological concepts of extinction and biodiversity before examining various human-caused threats driving increased species loss.
SCIENCE7: Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
This document discusses asexual and sexual reproduction. It begins by defining the two types of reproduction and their key differences. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces genetically identical offspring, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation. The document then explains various types of asexual reproduction, including binary fission, budding, regeneration, and vegetative propagation. It also covers the process of sexual reproduction, including fertilization. Key differences between asexual and sexual reproduction are outlined such as number of parents involved, genetic makeup of offspring, use of gametes, and relative rates of reproduction. Students are then given questions to test their understanding of the concepts.
Population Ecology Grade 11 Part 1
This document defines key concepts in population ecology including species, populations, communities, density, dispersion, demography, immigration, emigration, and carrying capacity. It describes patterns of dispersion as clumped, uniform, or random and the two main patterns of population growth as exponential/J-shaped or logistic/S-shaped. Exponential growth is characterized by a lag phase, exponential growth phase, and decline, while logistic growth includes lag, exponential, deceleration, and equilibrium phases limited by carrying capacity. Survivorship curves are classified as Type I, II, or III based on mortality rates at different ages.
Lesson 1. concept of ecology
This document provides an overview of key concepts in ecology and environmental biology, including:
1) It defines ecology as the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environment.
2) It describes producers, consumers, food chains, food webs, and trophic levels within ecosystems.
3) It explains ecological pyramids and how energy and biomass decrease at higher trophic levels.
4) It outlines ecological interactions like competition, predation, and the three types of symbiosis - mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
Evidence of evolution
The document provides evidence for evolution from the fossil record, geology, comparative anatomy, biogeography, embryology, and biochemistry. It discusses how fossils are formed through various processes like compression and petrification. Dating methods like relative dating examine rock layers while radiometric dating uses radioactive isotopes to determine absolute ages. Comparisons of homologous and analogous structures in organisms support common descent. Similarities in embryonic development and DNA across species also provide evidence that organisms share a common ancestry.
Biology Sexual and asexual reproduction
This document provides an overview of sexual and asexual reproduction. It defines key terms like meiosis, mitosis, gametes and fertilization. It describes several methods of asexual reproduction like binary fission, budding, regeneration and parthenogenesis. Advantages of asexual reproduction include not needing a mate and producing large numbers quickly, while disadvantages include inability to adapt to changes. Sexual reproduction generates genetic variation through meiosis and fertilization, allowing adaptation but requiring more time and energy to find a mate.
First quarterly examination in general biology 2 (1)
This document appears to be a biology exam containing multiple choice questions related to genetics concepts studied, including:
1. Mendel's experiments with pea plants and the principles he discovered related to inheritance of traits.
2. Monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, Punnett squares, dominance and recessivity, genotypes and phenotypes.
3. Sex-linked inheritance and traits located on the X and Y chromosomes, including examples like hemophilia and colorblindness.
Continental drift
- Alfred Wegener developed the hypothesis of continental drift in 1910, proposing that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart. This idea is known as continental drift.
- Wegener provided evidence from matching fossil distributions, rock formations, and past climate patterns between continents now separated by oceans that supported his hypothesis of continental movement over time.
- However, Wegener's hypothesis was rejected by most geologists in the early 1900s due to lack of mechanisms to explain continental motion and discrepancies with existing geological theories. It was not widely accepted until new evidence emerged in the 1950s.
Levels of organization
This document describes the different levels of biological organization in multicellular organisms from cells to biosphere. It discusses five levels - cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. Cells are the basic unit and make up tissues. Tissues combine to form organs, organs work together in organ systems, and organ systems function as a whole organism. Higher levels depend on and are affected by the levels below them. The document provides examples to illustrate each level of organization.
Continental Drift Theory
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He noticed that the continents appeared to fit together and were once attached in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided evidence from matching coastlines, fossil and rock formations, and paleoclimatic data to support his theory. However, he was unable to explain the mechanism of continental drift. Most geologists at the time rejected his theory due to the lack of a clear explanation for how and why the continents would move. It was not until the 1950s when the theory of plate tectonics was developed that Wegener's concept of continental drift became widely accepted.
Bioenergetics
This document provides an overview of bioenergetics and the flow of energy through living systems. It defines key terms like bioenergetics, energy, producers, consumers, and energy-giving molecules. Producers, or autotrophs, are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis and provide energy for other organisms. Consumers, or heterotrophs, consume producers or other consumers. Glucose and ATP are important energy-giving molecules, with ATP storing and transferring energy within cells. The document also briefly discusses the early history of experiments conducted to understand photosynthesis.
ECOSYSTEMS concept map BY GRP 6
Ecosystems are governed by physical laws of energy flow and matter cycling. Energy and nutrients cycle through abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems via producers, consumers, and decomposers. Human activities have disrupted nutrient cycling and increased toxins, greenhouse gases, acid precipitation and global warming, depleting the ozone layer and threatening ecosystem function.
Unit 7 History of Life Notes
The document discusses the origin of life on Earth. It describes early theories of spontaneous generation and biogenesis. Experiments by Pasteur and others supported biogenesis. Early Earth likely had a primordial soup where simple organic molecules formed from inorganic compounds, as shown by the Miller-Urey experiment. These molecules could have led to the formation of proteins on clay particles and early genetic material like RNA. Archaea may have been Earth's first cells. Later, photosynthesizing cyanobacteria evolved and enriched the atmosphere with oxygen. The endosymbiont theory explains how eukaryotic cells developed from prokaryotic cells living together.
Community ecology
Community ecology examines the interactions between populations of different species living in the same area. Species compete for limited resources but can coexist through mechanisms like resource partitioning, where species differentiate their use of resources to reduce competition. Disturbances can alter communities, initiating primary or secondary succession as the community reestablishes itself over time. Keystone species play an outsized role in community structure and ecosystem function.
BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
The document discusses biodiversity from several perspectives:
- It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity.
- Biodiversity is the result of billions of years of evolution but is now seriously threatened by human activities like habitat loss and climate change.
- Maintaining biodiversity is important for ecological, economic, and moral reasons, and countries have legal obligations to protect biodiversity.
Species Interactions
The document describes the five major types of species interactions: competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. Competition involves two species attempting to use the same limited resource, harming both. Predation involves a predator species feeding on a prey species. Parasitism benefits the parasite species while harming the host species. Mutualism benefits both species involved. Commensalism benefits one species while not affecting the other. Over time, coevolution can lead to adaptations that reduce harm or improve benefits of interactions between species.
Endocrine System, Nervous System And Homeostatic Control[1]
The endocrine and nervous systems work together to maintain homeostasis in the body. The endocrine system regulates processes like growth, metabolism, and mood through hormone secretion from glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, and adrenal glands. The nervous system is made up of the central and peripheral nervous systems and uses neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters like acetylcholine to transmit signals and coordinate responses to changes both internally and externally. Together these systems allow the body to detect changes, process information, and enact responses to maintain a stable internal state.
Biodiversity and Human Population Growth
This contains a powerpoint lecture (41 slides) on how human population growth affects biodiversity and endangered species.
Species extinction
This document discusses species extinction and identifies four types: local extinction, extant species, threatened or endangered species, and functionally extinct species. It provides examples for each type. There are two main causes of extinction: natural causes like climate change and asteroids and anthropogenic causes like habitat destruction and pollution. Protecting biodiversity is important, especially protecting habitats, as species cannot survive without natural homes. The document ends with assessment questions about causes of extinction.
Plate boundaries ppt
Earth's outer shell is divided into tectonic plates that slowly move over the mantle below. Plates interact at boundaries where they either converge and collide, causing volcanoes and earthquakes, diverge and form rift valleys and ocean ridges, or slide past each other along transform boundaries, also producing earthquakes. The movement of these plates over geological time scales shapes the earth's surface features and geography.
Reproduction Reproduction Reproduction Reproduction
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical clones of the parent. It occurs through binary fission in bacteria, fragmentation in flatworms, and plant cuttings. Organisms that reproduce asexually include hydra, sea stars, strawberries, archaebacteria, eubacteria, euglena, and paramecium. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring that share genetic characteristics from both parents. It can occur internally through fertilization inside the female or externally through fertilization of eggs laid by the female. Organisms that reproduce sexually include chickens, iguanas, lobsters, sharks, humans, butterflies, sunflowers, and roses.

ove doesn’t equal sex.
It’s important to remember that asexuality is an umbrella term, and exists on a spectrum. Asexual people – also known as “Ace” or “Aces” – may have little interest in having sex, even though they desire emotionally intimate relationships. Within the ace community there are many ways for people to identify.
Asexuality Chart
Here are just a few common terms to explore:
Demisexual: People who only experience sexual attraction once they form a strong emotional connection with another person.
Grey-A: People who identify somewhere between sexual and asexual.
Queerplatonic: People who experience a type of non-romantic relationship where there is an intense emotional connection that goes beyond a traditional friendship.
Aces commonly use hetero-, homo-, bi-, and pan- in front of the word romantic to describe who they experience romantic attraction to. For example, a person who is hetero-romantic might be attracted to people of a different sex or gender, but not in a sexual way.

Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction LESSON POWERPOINT
Here is a creature I created that reproduces asexually:
Name: The Blobfish
Description: The Blobfish is a gelatinous creature that lives at the bottom of the ocean. It has no distinct head, limbs, or internal organs. Its body is made of a soft, blob-like mass.
Asexual Reproduction: The Blobfish reproduces through budding. New Blobfish buds form directly on the parent's body. As the buds grow in size, they eventually break off and become independent juvenile Blobfish.
Advantage: Budding allows the Blobfish to rapidly reproduce many identical offspring with little effort or resources. This helps the population grow quickly.
Disadvantage: Because

Reproductive strategies (bd)
Reproductive strategies involve adaptations that improve chances of fertilization or offspring survival. There are two main types: asexual reproduction requiring one parent produces clones, while sexual reproduction between two parents creates genetic variation. Asexual reproduction is simple but limits variation, while sexual reproduction requires more energy but allows adaptation to changing environments.

Examples of asexual reproduction include binary fission in bacteria and budding in hydra. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring that have a mixture of genes from both parents, resulting in genetic variation. Most animals, plants and fungi reproduce sexually. The document provides examples of different modes of asexual and sexual reproduction and their advantages and disadvantages.
Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction PowerPoint.pptx
This document provides information about and comparisons between asexual and sexual reproduction. It defines the key characteristics of each type of reproduction, including that asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces identical offspring while sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces offspring with genetic variation. Examples of organisms that reproduce through each means are given. The advantages and disadvantages of both asexual and sexual reproduction are also outlined.
Meiosis on the GO!
Angiosperms are flowering plants that represent over half of all known plant species. They contain reproductive organs like the pistil, which is the female structure. Flowers serve the function of containing the reproductive organs to produce seeds through fertilization. Some angiosperms like sunflowers have showy flowers, while others like grasses have smaller, less noticeable flowers. Overall, angiosperms are the largest group of plants and make use of flowers for sexual reproduction and seed production.

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. It occurs through various processes like budding, fragmentation, regeneration, and mitosis. Some organisms like bacteria, hydra, and strawberries reproduce asexually.
Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with a mix of genetic material from both parents. It occurs in animals, plants, and some other eukaryotic organisms. Meiosis and fertilization of an egg by sperm leads to offspring that share traits with both parents but are not identical to either. Many animals like humans, chickens, and fish reproduce sexually.
Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction PowerPoint.pptx
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. It occurs through various processes like binary fission, budding, spore formation, regeneration or fragmentation. Some advantages are that it produces more offspring and takes less time and energy, but the offspring lack genetic variation.
Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring that receive genetic material from both parents. It occurs through the fusion of male and female gametes in internal or external fertilization. Some organisms that reproduce sexually are humans, chickens and sunflowers. Sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation in offspring but takes more time and energy as two individuals must find each other.
GO 2_2 Asexual and Sexual Reproduction.ppt
This document describes different types of reproduction, including asexual and sexual reproduction. It discusses four types of asexual reproduction: binary fission, budding, spore production, and vegetative reproduction. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with a mix of both parents' characteristics. The document outlines sexual reproduction in both animals, which involves the union of sperm and egg cells, and plants, which involves pollen fertilizing ovules.
How do Organisms Reproduce Class X notes.docx
This document provides information on various modes of reproduction in organisms, including asexual and sexual reproduction. It discusses the different types of asexual reproduction like binary fission, budding, spore formation, regeneration, and fragmentation. The document also covers the process of sexual reproduction in humans, including the male and female reproductive systems and changes during puberty. Key stages like fertilization and development of the embryo in the uterus are summarized.
Methods of reproduction
Methods of reproduction can be sexual, requiring two parents, or asexual with one parent. Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are exact clones of the parent with little variation. Common asexual reproduction methods include binary fission in single-celled organisms, budding where new growth emerges from the parent, and fragmentation where a parent breaks into pieces that form new individuals. Sexual reproduction requires an egg and sperm and results in offspring with unique genetic combinations from both parents, increasing variation within a species.
Reproduction
There are two main types of reproduction: asexual and sexual. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical clones. It occurs through binary fission, budding, or fragmentation. Sexual reproduction requires two parents and produces offspring with genetic variations from the parents. It can occur through external fertilization in water or internal fertilization within the female's body. Sexual reproduction creates more genetic diversity to help species adapt and survive.
Reproduction
Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring through vegetative reproduction or apomixis. Sexual reproduction requires the fertilization of egg and sperm cells to produce offspring with a combination of genetic material from both parents. Reproduction is essential for continuity of life as it allows organisms to produce new individuals.
Types of reproduction
The document discusses different types of reproduction in multicellular and unicellular organisms. It explains that asexual reproduction involves one cell splitting into two identical offspring through processes like binary fission or budding. Sexual reproduction involves the combination of two different gametes, male sperm and female eggs, which produces offspring with a mix of traits from both parents. Sexual reproduction can involve either internal or external fertilization of the eggs by sperm.
Asexual Reproduction.pptx
This document discusses asexual reproduction in plants. It begins by defining asexual reproduction as reproduction that requires only a single parent and does not involve the fusion of gametes. It then discusses various types of asexual reproduction including binary fission, fragmentation, budding, vegetative propagation, and spore formation. The key advantages of asexual reproduction are that it only requires one parent and offspring are produced more quickly than sexual reproduction, allowing for rapid colonization. However, the main disadvantage is lack of genetic diversity, making the offspring and entire species more vulnerable to environmental changes.
Asexualvssexualreproduction 170311025030
While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually. But in the long term (over several generations), lack of sexual reproduction compromises their ability to adapt to the environment because they do not benefit from the genetic variation introduced by sexual reproduction.
Asexual vs sexual reproduction
This document compares and contrasts sexual and asexual reproduction. It defines key terms like gametes, fertilization, zygote, and discusses various modes of both sexual reproduction like the fusion of egg and sperm cells, and asexual reproduction like fission, budding, regeneration, and vegetative propagation. The main advantages of sexual reproduction are genetic variation and selective breeding, while the disadvantages include time/energy costs and finding mates. Asexual reproduction enables rapid reproduction without mates but results in uniform offspring lacking genetic variation.

Energy enters ecosystems from the sun and flows through food chains, food webs, and trophic levels. Food chains represent single paths of energy transfer from producers to consumers, while food webs illustrate the many interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem. Energy is lost at each trophic level as it is transformed and passed between organisms, with around 90% released as heat and only 10% transferred to the next level. This transfer of energy can be depicted visually using an energy pyramid with producers at the base and successive consumer trophic levels above.

Biologists use six key characteristics to determine if something is considered a living thing: 1) being made of cells, 2) using and needing energy, 3) being adapted to their surroundings, 4) reacting to changes, 5) reproducing, and 6) growing and developing. All living things exhibit all six of these characteristics, while nonliving things lack at least one of these characteristics.
Nscu 302 wk 1 2
All living things need water, food, living space, and stable internal conditions to survive. Specifically, they require water to carry out essential functions like obtaining chemicals, breaking down food, and moving substances within their bodies. Organisms also need a source of energy, which they obtain through food - either by producing their own food through photosynthesis (autotrophs) or consuming other organisms (heterotrophs). Furthermore, all living things need a place to live where they can access food, water, and shelter, leading to competition for space. Finally, organisms maintain homeostasis to keep internal conditions constant despite outside changes, which is vital for cellular functions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
