(caterpillars, bison). Primary consumer: Organisms that eat consumers (chicken,
meadowlark). Secondary consumers: Organisms that eatprimary consumers (praire
felcon, eagle). Decomposers: Organisms that uses nutrients from dead plants and
animals, it starts the chain over (bacteria).
Say that an organism was removed from the web, such as a caterpillar.
Though it's not the only grass eating organism it would still mess up the web.
Say you put the bison in its place, that part would work, except for the fact
that the indigo bunting wouldn't e .....

Plate Tectonics
Number of words: 516 | Number of pages: 2.... the rigid ocean floor.
During WWII, people started to explore the ocean floor and discovered evidence that would prove Wegener's ideas about land movement. The most interesting feature of the ocean was the ridges running along the ocean floor. It was discovered that earthquakes were abundant along the ridges that let magma flow from them. The magma would flow out these ridges and push the Earth away from it. This sea floor spreading was how the continents had moved over millions of years. The earth's crust is in mobile sections called plates, moved by the circulation of magma in a layer of the earth called the mantle. The .....

Alcoholism 4
Number of words: 1374 | Number of pages: 5.... alcohol very quickly, approximately 20% goes directly into the blood stream from the stomach, the rest enters the body through the small intestine. Moments after alcohol enters the blood stream it reaches the Cerebral Cortex, the part of the brain responsible for judgement. The areas of the brain controlling caution and self control are effected first, so most people feel more relaxed. Extremely large doses of alcohol may result in coma or death (Knox 42).

Hyperactivity is a real problem for people with ADD especially in children. Parents will usually describe them as always on the go. ADD girls tend to be less hyperactive than ADD boys are. The hyperactivity usually fades by adolescence. This doesn't mean all the symptoms are gone though. There are only a limited number of ADD children who c .....

Abstract From: Cloning : Where Do We Draw The Line?
Number of words: 771 | Number of pages: 3.... process has been practiced and almost perfected in
livestock for the past ten years, and some scientists believe that it seems only
logical that it would be the next step in in-vitro fertilization. The procedure
was remarkably simple. Hall and Stillman "selected embryos that were abnormal
because they came from eggs that had been fertilized by more than one sperm"
(Elmer-Dewitt 38), because the embryos were defective, it would have been
impossible for the scientist to actually clone another person. They did however,
split the embryos into separate cells, as a result creating separate and
identical clones. They began experiment .....

However, large areas of Ontario that are near the Pre-Cambrian Shield, with quartzite or granite based geology and little topsoil; there is not enough buffering capacity to neutralize even small amounts of acid falling on the soil and the lakes. Therefore over time, the basic environment shifts from an alkaline to an acidic one.
Air Pollution, contamination of the atmosphere by gaseous, liquid, or solid wastes or by-products that can endanger human health and the health and welfare of plants and animals, or can attack materia .....

Fossil Fuels: Our Society's Dependency
Number of words: 540 | Number of pages: 2.... is one draw back of this way of solving problems, I mean sure it's great
to wait until the demand but we should still learn from our mistakes. We should
learn to plan ahead and see what the consequences could possibly be.
We still have other demands to meet, there are three major demands of
fossil fuels and they are heating, transportation, and industry. Although
transportation is taken care of, we may not like the thought of a solar car or
an electric car but there are solutions out there. Frankly the oil companies
don't want to lose their monopoly in the transportation industry and that brings
us into the whole ec .....

Freezing Point
Number of words: 510 | Number of pages: 2.... A liquid may
remain in this supercooled state for some time. This phenomenon is
explained by molecular theory, which conceives the molecules of a solid as
being well ordered and the molecules of a liquid as being disordered. To
solidify, a liquid must have a nucleus (a point of molecular orderliness)
around which the disordered molecules can crystallize. The formation of a
nucleus is a matter of chance, but once a nucleus forms, the supercooled
liquid will solidify rapidly. The freezing point of a solution is lower
than the freezing point of the pure solvent before introduction of the
solute (substance dissolved).
The amount th .....
