Marine Food Chain - Difference Between Phytoplankton and Zooplankton

Image
MARINE FOOD CHAIN Marine Food Chain A food chain illustrates the source of food for every living creature as well as the transfer of energy from one living thing to another. Large animals are at the end of food chains, which start with plants. A single route that links a producer with many tiers of consumers is called a food chain.Energy is necessary for all living things to operate. To do the tasks necessary for existence, they must use energy. Although they are not able to produce energy, living creatures are able to change one type of energy into another. The producers initiate the energy transformation cycle in the water. Producers convert energy from chemicals or the sun into organic molecules that are used as food.Microscopic plants called phytoplankton and tiny critters called zooplanktoneat plants. Lobsters and other invertebrates consume zooplankton. The invertebrate is eaten by fish and other vertebrates like cod.The largest animal is not the end of the food webs. In the natu...

Ozone water purification

OZONE (O3)  WATER         PURIFICATION  INTRODUCTION It is well acknowledged that ozone water purification is the most efficient   FDA-approved technique for getting rid of a variety of pollutants that are frequently present in water. Ozone, often known as O3, is a very potent oxidant since it is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. Because of this property, ozone is significantly more powerful than chlorine at rendering pesticides, fungus, organic compounds, pollutants, and viruses inactive. An ozone generator is used to create ozone gas, which is subsequently dissolved into the water to carry out the operation. When ozone is present, it starts to oxidize and decompose dangerous materials including germs, viruses, and organic stuff. By eliminating additional pollutants and chlorine byproducts, this oxidation process not only gets rid of these contaminants but also makes the water taste and smell better overall. The capacity of ozone water pu...

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAPSULE PRODUCING BACTERIA AND FUNGI

  DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAPSULE PRODUCING BACTERIA AND FUNGI   What is Capsule: A unique, gelatinous coating known as a "capsule" in microbiology encloses the cell wall of some bacteria and fungus. Usually made up of polysaccharides, although occasionally it can also include polypeptides or other substances. Because the capsule increases the capacity of bacteria to cause illness, it is regarded as a virulence factor. Polysaccharides, which are lengthy chains of sugar molecules, make up the majority of bacterial capsules. The content of these may fluctuate significantly between various species and even bacterial strains. Certain bacteria, such as the anthrax-causing Bacillus anthracis, contain capsules made of polypeptides like poly-D-glutamic acid. By preventing phagocytic cells like neutrophils and macrophages from engulfing and eliminating germs, the capsule helps the bacteria elude the host's immune system. The capsule may also aid in keeping the bacteria from drying up, ...
