Conversation Ecology

/in /by

Use the ecological footprint calculator( https://www.footprintcalculator.org/home/en) to determine how many Earths we would need to live sustainably if everyone lived as you did. You may be surprised. According to the Conversation Ecology textbook, we would need four Earths if everyone lived as the average American did! Next, try the questionnaire again and make one change that you think will reduce your footprint. Then change this parameter back to its original value and try making a different change. Keep track of your results and try this for three different aspects of your lifestyle. What three changes did you make, and which one had the greatest effect on your ecological footprint? Why do you think that this lifestyle change had such a big effect? Is this a real change that you might be able to implement soon? Why or why not?

The replacement of bison

/in /by

How has the replacement of bison with cattle on the prairie impacted the ecosystem? Prairie chicken habitat has been reduced and the species is considered endangered. There has not been an impact because bison and cattle both graze on grass. Cattle have encouraged wolves and grizzlies to return to the prairie. Cattle graze on less grass and prairie grass growth has therefore increased. The loss of bison has increased the eagle population.

The composition of biological membranes

/in /by

The composition of biological membranes found in archaea is distinct from biological membranes found in bacteria and eukaryotic cells. The unique lipid composition is thought to afford protection from extreme environments that many archaea inhabit. 10. To survive extreme environments archaea must have very stable biological membranes. Explain how archaea could adapt their biological membranes to survive extreme temperatures. Justify your answer and use the format, “If…, then…” 11. What do you predict would happen if you tried to grow archaea adapted to survive at 100 degrees Celsius at standard room temperature? Justify your answer and use the format,
