Florida Ecosystems

Once given your Florida ecosystem, you will research and present the topics listed below about your ecosystem. Please include visuals.

Briefly tell us where in Florida your ecosystem is often found and general characteristics

---average amount of water

---general physical characteristics

---unique characteristics of your ecosystem

List and describe 3 common producers found in your ecosystem

---include information such as what type of species prey on these producers, what the producer needs in order to survive and thrive, etc.)

List and describe 6 common consumers found in your ecosystem

---In your descriptions please include what the animals are preying on, where they build shelters, what their niche is, etc.)

Try to find at least one decomposer and/or scavenger in your ecosystem

--- What is it eating/decomposing? How is this helpful to the ecosystem?

List and describe one example of mutualism, one example of commensalism and one example of parasitism in your ecosystem

---Name the species involved and explain the relationships

List any endangered, threatened or extinct species from that ecosystem

Explain 1 food chain in your ecosystem

Explain competition between species in your ecosystem

please help fast am giving 20 points and brainiest ok I posted the same question 2 time please stop whoever is stealing the points please stop am running out of points

For your initial isolation of the bacterium, you simply needed to grow enough of it that you could identify some of its more general features. thus, you used a complex nutrient agar that would allow for the growth of almost any bacterial species. different bacterial species often have very specific requirements for life. this is a fact that you can utilize when you are trying to identify the bacterium to the species level. growth conditions that will permit the growth of one species but not another may allow you to select which one you would like to culture. you can utilize different selective/differential media that allow for the growth of only one type of bacteria (e. g., either gram positive or gram negative). culturing media such as phenylethyl alcohol or sodium chloride agar will be selective/differential for gram-positive bacteria. you may also want to show that it is different from other bacteria that may be present, so you could use a selective/differential agar. selective/differential media such as blood agar or phenol red sugar broths allow for the determination of whether a bacterial cell can grow and utilize specific ingredients included in the medium and turn the agar a distinct color. sheep's blood agar utilizes red blood cells to differentiate which bacterial species may have hemolytic properties. selective or differential? 1. an agar that uses a high salt concentration to limit the growth of one type of bacteria over another would be considered selective/differential. 2. if an agar contains a dye or ph indicator in the presence of a sugar, it is generally considered selective/differential for those bacteria that may ferment the sugar over those that cannot. 3. an agar that uses the dye in crystal violet agar suppresses the growth of gram-positive bacteria. this agar would be considered selective/differential. 4. the selective/differential aspect of macconkey agar allows for the determination of which bacteria are lactose fermenters and which are not. 5. a blood agar plate contains sheep red blood cells and allows for the determination of hemolytic capabilities for all bacteria that grow on the agar. this would make this type of agar selective/differential. 6. emb agar uses lactose and two dyes that allow it to be selective/differential between the blue-black colonies of e. coli and the pinkish colonies of all other enteric bacteria. 7. bile salts in macconkey agar allow for the agar to be selective/differential for the growth of enteric gram-negative bacteria over gram-positive bacteria. 8. an agar that allows for the distinction of bacteria based on metabolism would be considered selective/differential.

Ais a landform that is formed at the mouth of a river from the deposition of sediment carried by the river as the water flows.
