What was good and bad about the desert?
mason Douglaskimpton middle schoolteam 7-1My biome is the desert biome. The desert biome is usually dry and extremely hot. Precipitation in the desert is scarce but there are some rainstorms, when it does rain it usually evaporates right when it hits the ground. Sometimes there are major rainstorms that can flood the desert, but then after that there can be no rain for weeks or even months. The temperature there is always extreme; it can usually reach up to 100+ degrees there. The reason for this is because there are no clouds to block the sun out. Deserts can expand for miles and miles on end, also one important fact about deserts is that it covers one fifth (20%) of the earth.Plant life in the desert is usually never seen but there is still some plant life. Plant life here includes the Barrel Cactus, Brittle Bush, Chain Fruit Cholla, Creosote Bush, and the Crimson Hedgehog Cactus. The barrel cactus is a beautiful cactus not only because of its shape (circle) but because of the beautiful flower that's sprouts at the top of it. The Brittle Bush is a common plant that can be seen in the desert. Uses for this plant are that you can make toothpaste out of the residue that is inside of its stem. The Chain Fruit Cholla is a cactus that looks more like a tree than a cactus. It also grows pear shaped fruits that can grow for years off of the cactus. The Creosote Bush is named this because it smell a lot like the creosote tar that is used on telephone poles. The bushes leaves can be used for antiseptics. Then last but not least is the Crimson Hedgehog Cactus. It is called the Crimson Hedgehog cactus because there is a big Crimson flower at the top of it.There a ton animal life in the desert. Some examples of these animals are Caracal, Black tail Jackrabbit, Fennec Fox, Kangaroo Rat, and the Meerkat. The Caracal, which looks like a Lynx, eats birds and rodents. It can usually weigh up to 20-40 pounds. The Black tailed Jackrabbit eats cacti, sagebrush, grasses, and clover. The Fennec Fox usually eats birds and bird eggs. During the day they usually burrow underground when it's the hottest. The Kangaroo Rat usually eats seeds and leaves. They are approximately 1.25-6.25 oz. then last but not least there is the cute Meerkat. The Meerkat usually feeds on insects and lizards. There homes are burrows that can go on for a long time.Animals adapt to the desert in many different ways. Some examples of these adaptations include burrowing. Many animals burrow underground during the day to keep cool. At night is when these animals hunt for there food. Some also dig burrows to reach the water tables underground. Some reptiles have special adaptations that can trigger moisture to there mouth when they are parched.Three interesting facts about the desert are that the desert is not always hot. It can drop as low as 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Also most deserts are covered in jagged rocks not sand. Most desert go without twelve months of rain.mason Douglaskimpton middle schoolteam 7-1
Write five slogans on your own on save water?
Walk in the desert then you will realize the cost of water. Save water,it will save you later. Waste the water today and live in the desert tomorrow.
How does the sun affect the desert?
Yes. There are many kinds of pollution in the desert, including runoff from mining waste, radioactive dumpsites, urban sewage and other pollution from desert cities, leakage from toxic waste dumps, particulate matter in the air, and so forth. Many polluting industries are sited in the desert because it's seen as a place where nothing of value exists. People even haul toxic garbage to the desert for illegal dumping.
How do desert animals help desert plants?
I Think it ruins them because if it goes over the animals food as in a plant or something then like they wont have much to eat if it keeps on happening. Desert ecosystems are very slow growing and fragile. Because they are dry and vegetation is sparse they are very prone to erosion. Vehicles and people on foot or on bikes travelling through a desert disturb the soil/sand and can have an impact that lasts for decades because the system cannot recover quickly. Thin soil driven, ridden or walked over can be disturbed enough that it blows away, and soil in a desert may not be replaced in a hundred years. We have all seen the amount of dust stirred up by fast moving vehicles on dry dirt roads. People and vehicles compress the soil they travel over, and this can damage root systems, stems and leaves of plants. Insects and animal burrows may be crushed. People and vehicles can frighten and disturb animals and nests to the point where the parents leave their young or they leave the area. If you disturb an animal: move on. When travelling through a desert, and any other fragile or sensitive ecosystem, the easiest way to minimise impact is to follow existing tracks and carry out everything you carry in. If the track is blocked, don't widen the track and increase the damaged area by going around it: do what you can to repair or clear it, and if you can't fix it: report it. Get information on the best times to travel to minimise disturbance of the ecosystem, such as when animals are not nesting, or when the soil is least fragile. Travel slowly and carefully: you'll see more!
Waste product found in cactus plant?
The waste product found in cactus plants is usually latex, which can ooze out if a cactus is damaged or wounded. This sticky, milky substance helps the cactus protect itself from predators and heal its wounds.
Is the waste product of animal manure?
Yes, the waste products of animals are manure and urine.
What gas do animals give off as a waste product but need oxygen to survive?
Most animals give off carbon dioxide as a waste product for life. This is called "aerobic".
Why do desert animals have an excretory system?
Animals in the desert are no different from animals that do not live in deserts. Their bodies produce liquid, solid and gaseous waste that must be removed if the animal is to survive.
Which gas do animals release as a waste product?
carbon dioxide
What waste produced by animals is used by plants?
Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product produced by animals (including humans of course) during respiration. Plants use this as part of the process of photosynthesis, which in turn creates oxygen (as a waste product).
Waste from plants and animals is called?
Oxygen is the waste product of plants that animals need in the process of oxidative phosphorilation.
Animals give off what kind of gas as a waste product?
CaRbon dioxide.
What are two waste products common to plants and animals?
Two waste products common to plants and animals are carbon dioxide and water. However, only plants that photosynthesize in the dark have water as a waste product.
What is a waste product of photosynthesis that organisms need for cellular respiration?
There are a handful of waste products that are products of a plant's respiration. Oxygen is one such waste product.
A waste product of respiration in animals that is used by plants to carry out photosynthesis is?
Carbon dioxide :)
Which organ system produces carbon dioxide as a waste product in animals?
Respiratory system
