Animals Habitats
The document discusses different animal habitats including deserts, forests, jungles, savannas, oceans, and polar regions. It describes the key features of each habitat such as climate, vegetation, seasons, and some example animal species. Different habitats provide animals with the water, food, and shelter they need to survive.
Daily And Seasonal Changes
Organisms are adapted to both daily and seasonal changes in their environments. Daily changes include flowers opening and closing and sea anemones pulling in their tentacles at low tide. Seasonal changes require adaptations like migration to find food sources, hibernation to avoid winter conditions, and storing nutrients underground or in protective cases to last through seasons with less available resources. Some animals like squirrels store nuts in autumn to eat over winter when food is scarce.
Melissa southern weather and seasonal changes
The weather and seasonal changes affect plants, animals, and their surroundings through various adaptations. Adaptations like whiskers, sharp teeth, webbed feet, and wings help animals survive in their environments. Seasonal behaviors like migration, hibernation, and dormancy allow animals to respond to changes in temperature, light levels, and precipitation. Camouflage also provides protection by allowing animals to blend into their surroundings.

2. Many species are endangered or threatened due to habitat loss, pollution, overhunting, climate change, and other human impacts on the environment.
3. Understanding interactions between organisms and their environments is the goal of the scientific field of ecology.
The Study of Nature
This document discusses Charles Darwin and his observations of nature, particularly his voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836. It notes that as a boy, Darwin was fascinated by organisms in his environment. After college, he pursued his interest in nature by joining the Beagle expedition, where he made extensive collections of plants, animals, fossils and documented his findings. One of his most important observations was of finch birds on the Galapagos Islands, which had similar appearances but different beak sizes adapted to the foods available on each island. The document discusses Darwin's later work on adaptations that allowed organisms to survive in their environments.
Forests
Tropical rainforests are dense, hot, and wet forests that provide habitat for millions of plant and animal species. They generate much of the Earth's oxygen. Tropical rainforests experience rain year-round. In contrast, temperate forests have distinct wet/cold winter and dry/warm summer seasons with variations in daily temperatures. Key differences include plant and animal life, rainfall amounts, and climate - tropical rainforests have a consistent hot and wet climate while temperate forests have distinct seasonal changes.
"How do ecosystems compare?"
1. Ecosystems differ based on climate patterns over long periods of time. Climate can be wet, dry, hot and wet, or cold.
2. Three ecosystems are described: deserts, forests, and oceans. Deserts are dry due to low rainfall and organisms adapt through behaviors like camel humps storing water. Forests include tropical rainforests, which are hot and wet year-round, and temperate forests, which are warmer in summer and colder in winter. Oceans have more life in shallow, sunlit areas than in deep, dark waters below 1500m.
3. Tropical rainforests have many tall trees and plants due to constant rainfall, while temperate forests vary
Biomes
- Biomes are large ecosystems defined by climate, plants and animals. The main factors that determine a biome are temperature and rainfall.
- Six main biomes are described: tropical rainforests, tropical grasslands, tropical deserts, temperate grasslands, temperate coniferous forests, and arctic tundra.
- Climate largely determines the types of plants in an area, which then support certain animal life. Temperature and precipitation patterns dictate the distribution of global biomes.

Ch.5.less.1.how can we describe earth's features
The document describes several key features of the ocean floor:
1) The continental shelf is the shallow ocean floor along a continent's coast that slopes gradually downward.
2) The continental slope is the sharp decline where the continental shelf ends.
3) The continental rise is the gentle slope below the continental slope.
4) An abyssal plain is a wide, flat area of the deep ocean floor, sometimes found near the mouths of large rivers.
How do fronts and air masses change the weather?
Fronts and air masses change the weather by interacting at boundaries called fronts. There are four main types of air masses - cold/dry, cold/wet, warm/dry, warm/wet - determined by whether they form over land or water. Cold fronts bring stormy weather as warm air is forced upwards, while warm fronts bring steady rain. Stationary fronts cause prolonged rain. Weather maps use symbols to depict current conditions and colored areas to show temperatures. Forecasts predict future weather. Severe storms include tornadoes, blizzards, and hurricanes, which people prepare for using safety measures like watching weather reports, sounds sirens, and evacuation signs.
Endangered & Extinct
Pandas, rhinoceroses, and turtles are endangered species, as there are very few left of each kind. When an animal population becomes endangered, conservation efforts are needed to help the species survive and avoid going extinct, like some animals such as dinosaurs that are no longer in existence. Scientists can determine what animals lived in the past by discovering fossils, which are remains or evidence left behind of ancient living things.
What causes habitats to change
There are three main reasons why habitats change: nature, animals, and humans. Habitats can change naturally through fires caused by lightning, droughts due to lack of rain, or floods from excessive rain. Animals like beavers can change habitats by building dams that form ponds. Humans impact habitats through deforestation, hunting animals for their fur, and construction of buildings over land.
How do we use air & water
Natural resources like air, water, plants, and animals are found in nature and used by people to survive. There are two types of water resources: fresh water from sources like rivers and lakes that is used for drinking, and salt water like oceans that is not potable. Fresh water is transported to homes through aqueducts, stored in reservoirs, or accessed from underground wells. Water is treated before human consumption by allowing impurities to settle, filtering through sand and gravel, using chemicals to kill harmful organisms, and pumping the clean water to the population.
Habitat
This document discusses habitats and the different animals that live in each of the five main habitats. It defines a habitat as a place where animals can find food, water, and shelter. It then lists some examples of animals that live in each of the five main habitats: the ocean habitat (crabs, urchins, whales, seals), the forest habitat (squirrels, monkeys, owls), the desert habitat (snakes, scorpions, camels), the grasslands habitat (lions, giraffes, zebras, koalas, ostriches), and the Antarctica habitat (penguins, polar bears).
How do plant parts help plants
Each plant part has an important role in helping the plant grow. The stem holds up the plant and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. The leaves use sunlight, air, water, and nutrients to produce food for the plant through photosynthesis. The roots take in water and nutrients from the soil and anchor the plant, functioning like the plant's roots.
Changes in the environment
The document discusses how natural disasters and diseases can change the environment and affect living organisms. It provides examples of floods and droughts as natural disasters that can occur due to heavy rain or lack of rain. Droughts can cause wildfires that damage plant and animal habitats. Diseases from mold, bacteria, and mildew can also spread and harm living things. The environment is changed when disasters and diseases destroy forests and force animals to migrate, adapt, or die off if unable to adjust to the new conditions.
What do plants need to survive?
Plants need five things to survive and grow: oxygen from the air, water, nutrients found in soil, space to grow freely, and sunlight. Fruits were once living parts of plants but become non-living when picked after ripening.
What do animals need to survive?
Animals need four things to survive - food, water, oxygen, and shelter. Food provides nutrients for animals to grow, water is also vital for survival, oxygen is required for breathing, and shelter offers a safe place for animals to live. Different types of animal shelters include kennels, stables, beehives, nests, and aquariums.
How do an organism's trait help it survive?
Organisms exhibit traits that help them survive in their environments through adaptations like camouflage, mimicry, nocturnal behavior, hibernation, and migration. Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings and hide from predators while hunting prey. Mimicry enables some animals to disguise their appearance and resemble other organisms or objects like stones. Nocturnal habits, hibernation, and migration are also adaptive behaviors that help animals find food or escape harsh environments. Plants in deserts and wetlands similarly display adaptations like deep root systems and water storage to cope with their ecological conditions.
The Water Cycle
The document discusses the water cycle and the three states of matter that water can be present in - solid, liquid, and gas. It explains that water can change between these states through heating and cooling processes like evaporation, where heating liquid water turns it into gas water vapor, and condensation, where cooling water vapor turns it back into a liquid.
Types of clouds
There are 3 main types of clouds: cumulus clouds which are white and puffy like cotton-candy, cirrus clouds which are long and thin resembling feathers, and stratus clouds which look like blankets covering the sky.
Hurricane and blizzards
Hurricanes are storms that start over the ocean, have very strong winds that make huge waves, while blizzards are also known as snow storms with heavy snow and strong wind.
Thunderstorm
There are three main types of storms: 1) Thunderstorms which occur when there is lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain. 2) Tornadoes which are very fast and strong columns of air rotating in circles above land. Storms happen when there is very strong wind and extreme weather.
Properties of liquids and gases
Liquids and gases take the shape of their container, unlike solids which do not. Volume is defined as the space occupied by matter, and can be measured using tools like measuring cups. Common units for measuring volume include liters and milliliters.
What are the properties of a solid
Solids have their own definite shapes and do not change shape when moved or turned over. Examples of solids include rocks, books, toys, and other everyday objects. Solids maintain their own shapes rather than taking the shape of whatever container they are placed in.
How animals behave in diff weather
This document discusses how different pets react to different weather conditions. It notes that in winter, dogs and cats curl up to stay warm while birds fluff their feathers. It states that in summer, dogs try to lay on the ground or swim to stay cool. The document also mentions that cats can sense when it is about to rain and run to hide because they are afraid of water, and birds hide in trees when it rains and can sense when storms are coming.
Food chains and food webs
This document discusses food chains and food webs. It explains that living things get energy from food and this energy passes from one organism to another in a food chain, which always starts with a plant and shows the flow of energy. A food web is made up of interconnected food chains, as organisms can be eaten by more than one other organism.
What is mass?
The document discusses mass and defines it as the amount of matter in an object. It then provides examples of asking about the mass of different objects like a box of toys, bag, lunchbox, and bottle of water. For each, it states that the mass is the amount of whatever is inside - toys, books, food, or water. The document concludes by comparing the mass of different objects, noting that a rock has more mass than paper, a balloon has less mass than a book, and a desk has more mass than a feather.

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

How do ecosystems compare?
- 2. Do you remember what’s an ecosystem? Ecosystem is a place where living & non-living things interact. Example s: Forest Ocean Dessert
- 3. Do you know that every ecosystem has its own climate? Wait please, I can’t understand what’s the meaning of climate. Well, let’s see what is the climate?
- 4. Take a look at this picture What is this? Desert Can you tell the weather during daytime in the desert? It’s so hot Is it hot all over the year or just in a certain time of the year?No, it’s hot all over the year
- 5. So, we can say that the climate in the desert is: hot Climate: It is a pattern of weather in a place over a long time
- 6. Climate in an ecosystem can be: Wet Dry Hot Cold Ocean Desert Arctic
- 7. Can you tell the climate in these regions? Cold climate
- 8. Hot & dry climate Wet climate
- 9. Now let’s get to know the types of ecosystems: (1) Desert
- 10. - The desert has a dry climate. - During daytime: (Hot) - During night: (Cold) - Example: “Sonoran desert” in North America. Climate in the desert:
- 11. How can animals & plants survive in the desert? The desert is a very hot & dry place to live in, so in order for the animals & plants to survive there, they have to adapt to the desert. Adapt = Change to survive
- 12. Examples -Camels can survive in the desert for a long time, -It stores the food & water in its hump “back”, & when the camel feels hungry, it eats the stored food & water from its hump. Hump Camel
- 13. -Snakes, lizards & rats hide from the sun under big rocks . In the daytime: In the Night time: - Snakes, lizards & rats come out from under the rocks when the sun is gone.
- 14. In the daytime: In the Night time: -Turtles hide from the sun in their shell. -They come out from their shell.
- 15. In the daytime: -Desert foxes hide from the sun in caves . In the Night time: -They get out of the caves to search for food & water.
- 16. Cactus plant Cactus plants store water in their stems. They also have very short roots to absorb “take” the water quickly from the soil Stem Root s
- 17. (2) Forests
- 19. -The climate in the tropical rainforest is hot & wet “as it rains all the time of the yea -Climate in the tropical rainforest:
- 20. - Plants in the tropical rainforest:-As the climate is rainy “wet” all the year in the tropical rainforest, it has very tall plants & trees. (As there is plenty of water for the plants to grow)
- 21. - Animals in the tropical rainforest: -As the tropical rainforest has plenty of water & plants in it, So we can find many animals living there more than any other place. “As it’s easy for the animals to find their food & water”
- 22. Temperate forest
- 23. - Climate in the temperate forest: -The temperate forest differ from the tropical rainforest. -It’s climate changes in seasons. “It’s warm in summer , but it’s cold in winter” -It rains in the temperate forests , but they have
- 24. How does temperate forest looks like in different seasons? Spring Summer Fall Winter
- 25. Forests Tropical rainforest - Hot and wet “rainy” all year. - Has more living things than any other environment. Temperate forest - Warm summers and cold winters. - Gets less rain than tropical rainforests.
- 26. (3) Wetland
- 27. Properties of the wetland: -It’s covered with water “wet” most of the year. -It’s found at the edges “sides” of the rivers, lakes & oceans.
- 28. - It may have: “fresh water - salt water “
- 29. - Wetland also prevent flooding. “when water level is so high that can cover the houses” because they are like sponges that absorb water.
- 30. - Plants of the wetland help to clean dirty water, because it takes “absorb” the wastes from the water. Oh yes, I get it. It’s like the “Hoover that cleans the carpets”
- 31. (4) Oceans
- 32. - It’s the largest ecosystem on the earth. - The ocean: is a large body of salt water.
- 33. - If we take a closer look at the ocean, we will find almost all the living things in it living in the upper “shallow” part of the ocean. - (Because Sunlight warms the water and gives the producers (ex. Water plants) the energy to make their food so Animals will find the food they need)
