I’m working on a science writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

5-7 sentences including the history about tar pits, ancient animals that were found why this is important and possible new discoveries.

The purpose of this Marine Ecology Project assignment is for you to research the ecology of marine ecosystems and write a report describing environmental and biological factors that affect coral reefs.

Specific factors that you may want to discuss are:
1. temperature, light levels, dissolved nutrients — how do these impact, structure or limit these systems
2. species interactions — herbivores and carnivores, predators and prey, host and symbiont
3. invasive species, competitive interactions between key ecosystem players
4. dominant primary producers and factors affecting the distribution of animal groups
5. disease, population crashes/proliferation
6. human and environmental disturbances — this includes local impacts and those happening at global scales (like climate change)

Also, for the coral reefs project – you are required to visit and investigate the digital coral reef-scapes on my website (I attached a pdf of this link since you can’t access it) to SEE how coral reefs differ in the real world and to discuss what contributes to the differences you see at these two Hawaiian reefs. In your 5 page report, you should devote ~ 1 page to this topic. This could include discussing (with specific examples)

(1) the effects or light/depth
(2) geography (windward/leeward)
(3) nutrients/ sedimentation/rainfall.
Do not focus on species, focus on bigger trends you observe and hypotheses for why you see what you do.

Minimum guidelines:
1. 5 complete pages double spaced NOT including the reference page
2. Times New Roman font (12 pt)
3. Focused and well crafted paragraphs
4. Provide a reference page (cite minimum of 5 references)
5. References must be cited in the text following scientific journal formatting
6. A clear and concise title
7. Never quote! Paraphrase the literature in your own words and provide a citation

References
you must include at least 3 primary literature citation, and 2 or more secondary literature citations to receive full credit for the references.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON REFERENCES

Good, reliable references do not come from blogs or general websites. These sources are “popular media” and are not scientific. If you cite a news site, such as Nature News (news from the journal Nature) this is a secondary source and it is reliable since you are getting information that is summarizing a peer-reviewed work. Your book is an example of secondary literature. If you cite a journal article, this is the best reference type and is called “primary literature.” These are peer reviewed papers written by scientists and are published in academic journals. You can find some of these academic journal articles online for free (search through google scholar), others cost $$$. Good example of open access journals are: “PLOS ONE (Links to an external site.)” and “Peer J” (Links to an external site.).

Questions on
*inductance, capacitance, Ampère’s law, and electric current density.  
*electric and magnetic properties of material

Please answer wrong answers only and blanks

Task 1- Food Log

You will keep a 3-day food log, where you will record the meals and snacks that you ate, along with their nutrients, throughout each day. You can track it in a document. This week’s focus: fat and cholesterol

* You may record carbohydrates and protein; however, they are not required for this week.

Please see the Everything You Need to Know About- DIETARY ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENTS page for more specific details on this process.

Task 2- Analysis

Please answer the following questions in complete sentences:

1. In regard to last week’s ‘challenge’-
   1. Did you try some of your carbohydrate additions or replacements? If so, how did it go?
2. In regard to fat (general)-
   1. What was your average/mean (Links to an external site.) total fat intake over the 3 days? Was your total fat intake within the daily range (the AMDR is 20-35% of your caloric intake)? Were you surprised by your averages, why or why not?
   2. What did you eat the most of: saturated fat, trans fat, monounsaturated fat, or polyunsaturated fat?
   3. Which foods contained the most fat? Were you surprised by the fat content of some of your foods? If yes, which ones surprised you?
   4. Reflect on the fats consumed this week. Did some affect the way that you felt (i.e., mood, satiety, etc.)? Which ones?
3. In regard to cholesterol-
   1. What was your average/mean (Links to an external site.) cholesterol intake this week? Is this above or below the recommendation of less than 300 mg per day (200 mg if you are at risk for heart disease)? Any surprises?
   2. Were there any foods that you ate that help in lowering cholesterol? If yes, what were they?
4. Looking forward-
   1. How has learning about fats affected your motivation to eat a healthier, more balanced diet?
   2. What are two foods that you can swap in order to a) reduce saturated and/or trans fat; b) increase monounsaturated and/or polyunsaturated fat; or c) reduce cholesterol? Be creative!

• Unit 3-Instructions
  Consider humanity as the ultimate predator. Many if not most of us, particularly in the United States, are quite comfortable with the harvesting of organisms like tuna, deer, ducks, or rabbits. Other countries and cultures, however, value species that rarely, if ever, find their way to the North American dinner plate. What are your thoughts on the harvesting of organisms such as whales, dolphins, seals, etc.? Is hunting the only major issue that might threaten the existence of these organisms? Should we limit ourselves to eating only certain organisms? Why, or why not? In what ways are you selective about the foods you eat?Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.Submit Unit III Journal »

Unit 4-Instructions

Based on what you learned in Unit IV, describe the biodiversity in the area you live in. What kind of habitat do you live in, and what plants and organisms are common? What are some of the ecosystem services this biodiversity provides for you and your city or town?
