Summary Introduction

To describe:

The evidence of the formation of fossils in early prokaryotes and how they altered Earth’s atmosphere.

Concept introduction:

The evidence for the formation of fossils of early prokaryotes was found in Australia and South Africa. The fossils of the micro-organisms resembled in morphology with the Cyanobacteria containing the green pigment chlorophyll. The earth’s atmosphere was altered as these organisms consumed carbon dioxide and liberated oxygen in the atmosphere leading to the increase in the concentration of this gas.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
