Document Summary
Cyanobacteria: (blue-green algae, photo-synthesizing prokaryote) use water as reducing agent w/ atmospheric oxygen as byproduct reducing atmosphere to modern aerobic. Solid structures made by cyano, form colonies + trap sediment w/ sticky surface coatings. Plant molecular biology: use genetic, genomic, biochem, cell bio, + computational learn plant growth, physiology, + development at molecular level. Plant biochemistry: chem plant life process w/ chem products of plants. Plant anatomy: microscopic plant structure (cells + tissues). Once light nrg in chem form = nrg to other organisms + us fuel activity of organisms + totally dependent on photosynthesis (many plants adapted to use). Forests stores carbon (carbon sinks) absorbs more carbon than give, carbon source gives more than absorbs. Canadian forest service said cdn forests is viable carbon sink but increased fires, insect infestation + harvesting becomes net source of ghg. Taxonomic classification: identify + interpret natural groups of organisms (taxa) by character (morpho, genetics, behaviour, eco).
