Fish are sensitive to many environmental variables: dissolved oxygen, light, temperature, pH, clarity of water, food supply, presence of predators, etc. Fish will be attracted to different locations in a lake, based on its mix of variables.

Imagine you want to conduct an experiment to understand how just one of these variables differs in a local lake, depending on its depth. This lake reaches a depth of 17 meters. For this activity:

Pick a variable that might change as you go deeper in the lake on a given day.
Do a little research on that variable to determine how you might measure it in a lake.
Use the template below to outline an experiment to investigate this variable in the lake by depth. For each part, simply answer the question in parentheses to create your outline.
Type your response to each field in the space below that field:

Title: (Enter a brief, descriptive title. Hint: Sometimes it’s best to do this last.)

Purpose: (Why are you doing this experiment?)

Hypothesis: (What do you predict from this experiment and why?)

Procedure/Method: (How will you specifically carry out your experiment to test your prediction?)

Observations: (What specifically would you look for and record?)

Data analysis: (With this kind of data, what would be the best way to present it?)

Conclusion: [No need to enter anything here for now.]

References: (List any references you used to design the experiment. Note that for a full experiment write-up you’d also list any references you used while carrying out the experiment or in analyzing your results.)

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Variable: dissolved oxygen

Title: Oxygen variation as a water quality indicator.

Purpose: To study how dissolved oxygen varies with depth

Hypothesis: The percentage of dissolved oxygen will decrease as depth increases.

Procedure/Method:

Selection of sampling spots, according to the morphometry of the lake,  different depth, water currents inputs and outputs, aquatic vegetation, and lake type of use. In each spot water samples will be taken using a Niskin bottle. The sample will be taken from different depth: 5 meters deep, 10 meters deep, and 15 meters deep (photic zone).Dissolved oxygen (DO) will be measured in each sample, by using a multiparameter sensor.     In a field sheet to evaluate the parameter, the %DO by site and depth will be recorded.

Observations:

%DO in each site and depth will be recorded in order to analyze how it varies with depth.

Data analysis:

According to different indicators of water quality in a lake, the observed %DO will be compared and analyzed to evaluate the sanity state of the lake water. Example of valuation scale,

NORMAL index: Oxygen concentration in the water column is found to be sufficient for the  fish survivalREGULAR: Decrease in oxygen concentration at greater depth, values  below saturation in the backgroundCRITICAL: Null oxygen concentration in all or part of the column profile of  water. Probable fish mortality events.

According to the taken data, observations on the study site will be taken, such as the variation in oxygen concentration as it gets deeper, until reaching hypoxia level, where fishes can not survive. Data can be presented in tables and in graphs, in both cases comparing sampling sites and depth, making a focus on the valuation scale.

Conclusion:

Association of the oxygen variation with the sanity state of the lake, microbiology decomposition processes at different depths, eutrophication state, among others.

Answers

Answer:

Today, the basis for how we classify galaxies is still rooted in morphology, or how the galaxies appear. Astronomers group galaxies by shape, and although there are many different types of galaxies, most fall into one of three categories: spiral, elliptical or irregular.

Explanation:

 

Barred Spiral Galaxy

Barred spiral galaxies share the same features and functions as regular spiral galaxies, but they also have a bar of bright stars that lie along the center of the bulge, and extend into the disk. The bright bulge has very little activity here and contains mostly older, red stars. The bar and arms have lots of activity.including star formation.

While the classification for barred spirals is the same as it is for regular spiral galaxies, the bar must be considered as well. Short bars correlate to tighter galaxies and will be included in the designation SBa. SBb have longer bars and SBc are the longest. Most astronomers now agree that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy.

 

Elliptical Galaxy

Elliptical galaxies can be recognized by their elongated spherical shape and their lack of nucleus or bulge at the center. Although there is no nucleus, the galaxy is still brighter in the center and becomes less bright toward the outer edges of the galaxy. Stars, gases and other materials are spread throughout the elliptical galaxy. An elliptical galaxy can be nearly round or long and cigar shaped.

It is believed that a great deal of the mass in an elliptical galaxy is due to the presence of a central black hole. These galaxies have very little activity and contain mostly old stars of low mass, because there aren’t the gasses and dust needed to form new stars.

 

Irregular Galaxy

Irregular galaxies are composed of gasses, dust, stars, nebulous formations, neutron stars, black holes and other elements common to all galaxies. Irregular galaxies are named so because they have no definite shape, but like all galaxies, they are in constant motion, moving outward and away from the center of our universe. Irregular galaxies are divided into two classifications: Im and IO.

Im galaxies occur most often among irregular galaxies and may show a trace of the spiral galaxy arms. IO galaxies are completely random and can be called chaotic in nature. The Magellanic clouds that border our own Milky Way Galaxy are examples of Im galaxies. Approximately 20% of our galaxies are classified as irregular

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

A. Character displacement: This refers to the change of a trait or characteristic. Two species that share the same space must develop different characteristics in order to reduce competition and make better use of resources.

5. As a result of resource partitioning, certain characteristics may enable individuals to obtain resources in their partitions more successfully. The Selection of these characteristics (or characters) reduces competition with individuals in other partitions and leads to a divergence of features.

6. Two species of finches that live on two different islands have similar beaks, both suited for using the same food supply (seeds). On a third island, they coexist, but due to evolution, the beak of each bird species is different. This minimizes competition by enabling each finch to feed on seeds of a different size.

B. Competitive exclusion  principle:  The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. When the superior competitor occupies entirely the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the superior species has advantages over the other species and monopolizes all the resources. At this point, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs, or get extinct.  

1. When two species compete for exactly the same resources (or occupy the same niche), one is likely to be moresuccessful.One species outcompetes the other and eventually, the second species is eliminated

C. Ecological niche: The ecological niche is the synthesis of all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species.

8. The sum total of the organismâs use of the biotic and abiotic resources in its environment

D. Fundamental niche:  The fundamental niche refers only to physic conditions in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.

7. The resources a population uses in the absence of competitors or under ideal circumstances

E. Realized niche: The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environment physic characteristics and the interaction with other species.

9. The resources a population actually uses

F. Resource partitioning: Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior species use other resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished.  A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species might eat the same food, and can roost in different places within the habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.  

2. Some species coexist in spite of apparent competition for the same resources. A Closer study reveals that they occupy slightly different niches; dividing up the resources by pursuing slightly different resources or securing resources in slightly different ways.

Take some time to research the early settlements starting from the 1500s, and how they shaped history, especially in the southwest. It helps to know that the settlements in Florida were short-lived, but you'll find an extensive history of the Spanish colonies in New Mexico and California.Second, view a map of the U.S. without the boundaries of the fifty states. Remember, this Spanish history began before the original 13 British colonies were established. This map should show the exploration and development of the settlements throughout each colony. Please note, for example, the colony of New Mexico included the whole region of what we know as New Mexico and Arizona and parts of three other states.Third, within the colonies, make note of the settlements and explorations that you find in your research.
