Terrestrial biomes
Terrestrial biomes are typically characterized by the dominant vegetation types that are found in their region and temperature and precipitation play a particularly important role in structuring what type of vegetation is found in a particular biome. When characterizing these two components for a particular biome, it is important to consider both the mean annual […]
Isodemographic map
Identify 2 continents on the isodemographic map that look similar to those on a regular map. What does this say about the relative populations of the countries on these continents?
Municipal housekeeping
What was “national” or “municipal housekeeping,” and how did these concepts impact the role of women in the early conservation movement? Do you think socially constructed gender roles (of any kind) impact environmental thought or action today? Why or why not?

Discussing agrobiodiversity
When discussing agrobiodiversity, please include the agricultural systems you employ, the crops farmed, the severity of the food scarcity, the proportion of the population with access to food, etc. How much water reaches the population through pipe? What are the specific water supply problems? Does the community have other water sources, such as lakes and […]
Describe and explain cyanide poising
Cyanide poising occurs when living organism is exposed to a compound that produces cyanide Ions when dissolved in water. Cyanide poising results in weaknesses confusion vertigo and eventually coma followed by death. Cyanide ions inhibit the last cytochrome enzyme in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration ! What essential step would stop death when […]
Chlorophyll in plants
Chlorophyll is the main pigment found in plants. Other pigments are also present. If these other pigments were lost from a plant, but chlorophyll remained, what effect would this likely have on the plant and why?
