The lesson will discuss topics like conservation of native varieties, biodiversity, advantages and disadvantages of native and hybrid varieties, and importance of conservation.
Witricity, or wireless electricity, was originally demonstrated in 1964 and allows the transfer of electricity without wires. It works by converting electricity into oscillating magnetic fields at a transmitting coil, which induces a current in a receiving coil. Advantages include delivering power omnidirectionally without wires, but limitations include potential losses from ferro-magnetic substances or lack of standardization. The presenter discusses the history and inventors of witricity, its working principle, applications like charging electric cars wirelessly, and envisions a wirelessly powered world in the future.
This power point presentation discusses a diagram with points labeled A, B, C, etc. and lines connecting the points. It explains how to identify the relationships between the points based on the connections. Specifically, it analyzes the connections between points F, E, B, D, and C. It determines that F, C, B, E, and A, D are the lines of relationships. It concludes that the point determined by the intersection of these lines of relationships is the central point of the diagram.
This document discusses different types of fruits, including false fruits which include parts other than the ripened ovary, simple fruits which develop from a single ovary, multiple fruits which are formed from a cluster of flowers, and aggregate fruits which develop from the merger of several ovaries. It also mentions fleshy fruits which have flesh between the seeds and skin, and dry fruits which have had most of their water content removed.
This document appears to be a power point presentation on the poem "Under a spreading chestnut-tree" by an English lecturer for a student named Anju Parameswaran. The presentation summarizes the poem in 3 sentences: It describes a village smithy standing under a chestnut tree, a mighty man with strong arms from his work. On Sundays, he attends church and hears the sermon, finding comfort in hearing his daughter's voice that reminds him of his late wife. The poem teaches the lesson of toiling, rejoicing and sorrowing through life.
This document discusses the locomotion of various microorganisms such as amoeba, paramecium, and euglena. It explains that amoeba use pseudopodia, paramecium use cilia, and euglena use flagella to move through their environments. Examples provided are the bacteria Vibrio cholera and Treponema, which can live in extreme habitats and move via air and water currents.
Earthquakes are caused by the release of stored energy in the earth's interior. The point of origin is called the focus, and the point directly above on the surface is the epicenter. Energy from the focus propagates as seismic waves that cause tremors and destruction. The Richter scale is used to measure an earthquake's magnitude based on the intensity of shaking and damage. Primary and secondary body waves travel through the earth's interior at different speeds depending on the material's density, while surface waves cause surface destruction as they travel along the earth's surface.

This document discusses tsunamis. It defines tsunamis as unusually large sea waves that can be caused by intense earthquakes under the sea. While tsunami waves can travel thousands of kilometers over sea without harm, when they reach land they have the potential to cause widespread devastation. The document specifically references the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that originated on December 24th, killing over 200,000 people due to the enormous energy released by the earthquake, estimated to be 23,000 times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
This document discusses the structure of atoms. It states that all matter is made up of atoms, which are the smallest particles that can engage in chemical reactions. Atoms have a central nucleus containing positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Rutherford discovered the nuclear model of the atom through deflecting alpha particles with a gold foil. The document also discusses Bohr's model of electron shells and energy levels in atoms, as well as the composition of protons, neutrons, and electrons that define atomic number and mass number.
Ecology is the study of how organisms live and interact in their environment. It involves studying the relationships between organisms and their surroundings. The term ecology literally means "study of the household" so if studying fish ecology, it means examining fish neighborhoods and their interactions.
This document discusses the environmental pollution problems in Kuttanad, Kerala. The construction of the Thaneermukkam bund affected the natural flow of water in the Vembanad Lake, causing stagnation. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides then flowed into the stagnant backwaters, polluting the water. This led to overgrowth of invasive African weeds in the backwaters, adversely impacting the natural environment. The spread of weeds made travel by boat and canoe difficult and coconut husk soaking also contributed to pollution. Blocking the entry of saline water decreased populations of river and sea prawns.
The nitrogen cycle involves the transformation of nitrogen between its various chemical forms and exchanges between the atmosphere, soil, plants, and animals. Nitrogen enters the soil through decomposition, is converted to ammonium then nitrates by microbes, taken up by plant roots, and either remains in plant tissue or enters the food chain when consumed by animals. It can return to the atmosphere through denitrification by soil bacteria or industrial fixation through the Haber process. Anthropogenic activities such as agriculture and fossil fuel combustion have significantly impacted the global nitrogen cycle.
This document discusses key concepts in ecology including biotic and abiotic factors, ecosystems, levels of ecological organization, biomes, niches, habitats, and relationships between organisms such as symbiosis, predator-prey interactions, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. Food chains and food webs are also covered, explaining how energy and matter are transferred between organisms in an ecosystem from producers to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. Maintaining biodiversity through complex food web interactions is important for ecosystem stability.
Electromagnetism is one of the fundamental forces in nature and results from the interaction between electricity and magnetism. Originally considered separate forces, experiments by Hans Christian Ørsted and discoveries by James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism. Ørsted observed that electric currents could produce magnetic fields, representing a direct relationship between electricity and magnetism. Maxwell's 1873 treatise further developed this relationship and established electromagnetism as a single force. Today, electromagnetism has many applications in technologies like electric motors, generators, and transformers.
The document discusses key topics in ecology including ecosystems, energy flow, matter recycling, and ecological niches. It then covers threats to global ecosystems like pollution, climate change, and how introducing new species can disrupt ecosystems. The document argues that burning fossil fuels increases carbon dioxide levels, which is a greenhouse gas that contributes to rising global temperatures and climate change debates.
Nitrogen is essential for plant growth but it is not readily available to plants in its atmospheric form. The nitrogen cycle involves nitrogen-fixing bacteria converting atmospheric nitrogen into forms plants can use through processes like nitrogen fixation. When organisms die and decay, nitrogen is released back into the soil and atmosphere through mineralization, allowing the nitrogen cycle to continue providing this important nutrient to plants.
This document provides information about fruits and seeds. It discusses fruit anatomy, defining a fruit as a mature ovary containing seeds. It lists and describes different types of dry fruits like legumes and capsules, as well as fleshy fruits like drupes, pomes, and berries. The document notes that a fruit's form provides clues to its method of seed dispersal, such as wind dispersal for small dry fruits or animal dispersal for fleshy fruits. It asks students to think about why fruits must be dispersed away from the parent plant.
Carbohydrate counting is a meal planning approach for managing blood sugar levels in diabetes. It is based on counting the total amount of carbohydrates consumed rather than specific food sources. The amount of carbohydrates has the largest effect on post-meal blood sugar levels. Carbohydrate counting provides flexibility in meal planning and eating when desired without feeling restricted. It requires understanding how different foods affect blood sugar and investing time to accurately estimate portion sizes and carbohydrate amounts in foods.
The nitrogen cycle involves the transformation of nitrogen between its various forms through biological and physical processes. Key steps include nitrogen fixation by bacteria and lightning, ammonification by microbes converting organic nitrogen to ammonia, nitrification of ammonia to nitrites then nitrates, denitrification by bacteria reducing nitrates to nitrogen gas, and assimilation of nitrates by plants. The major reservoir of nitrogen is the atmosphere, with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and cyanobacteria converting atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia or nitrates through symbiotic and non-symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation.
Carbohydrates are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They include sugars, starches, and fibers and serve important functions in the body. Carbohydrates can be classified as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides depending on their size. Glucose is an important monosaccharide that circulates in the blood and is the primary fuel for tissues like the brain. Insulin and glucagon help regulate blood glucose levels. Dietary carbohydrates that break down slowly help control blood sugar and hunger.
Nitrogen cycle in aquatic ecosystem...................................WBUAFS
The nitrogen cycle is essential for life and involves the transformation of nitrogen between various forms through biological and physical processes. In aquatic ecosystems, nitrogen is cycled through four main processes: fixation by bacteria, decay of organic matter by microorganisms, nitrification by nitrifying bacteria, and denitrification by bacteria under anaerobic conditions. Imbalances in the nitrogen cycle can lead to toxicity issues for aquatic life from ammonia or nitrite accumulation. Maintaining the proper functioning of the nitrogen cycle is important for the balance and health of aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental Science Introduction For Student NotesRobin McLean
This document defines key concepts in ecology and ecosystems, including biotic and abiotic factors and food relationships. It explains that an ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things within an environment, and comprises biotic factors like plants and animals as well as abiotic factors such as water, soil and sunlight. Food chains show the order in which organisms obtain energy from food, with producers, consumers and decomposers playing different roles. Food webs depict the complex interconnections between multiple overlapping food chains within an ecosystem.
The document discusses various topics in ecology including ecosystems, ecological succession, food chains, food webs, and different types of ecosystems such as forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic ecosystems. It provides information on key concepts such as how ecosystems are defined, the process of ecological succession, how energy passes between producers and consumers in food chains and webs, and examples of different forest, grassland, desert and aquatic ecosystems. In the end, it emphasizes man's responsibility to conserve and protect ecosystems.
The document discusses nutrients and their sources. It explains that foods contain nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals that the body needs to function properly. Different foods provide different amounts and types of nutrients. It also discusses fiber and how different foods provide fiber, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are essential for health. Portion size determines how much energy and nutrients people get from food.
