Wetlands are often drained in many regions to facilitate human use of the land. This happens a lot within the Pairie Provinces of Canada, where wetlands are drained to make way for agriculture. Wetlands are also often drained so as to use the land for building houses. Humans have also altered the flow of rivers through constructing dams and over-abstracting water. In many regions, depressions that would have been flooded in the past to form wetlands are no longer saturated. Wetlands also act as a 'sink' for many pollutants, and much of the pollution released into upstream rivers by humans may settle into the relatively stagnant waters of wetlands, to be absorbed into the sediments, where often it acts as a chronic pollutant, negatively effecting the aquatic ecosystem and water quality downstream.
In liquid media or broth difference between dry and wet will give biomass of the Epulopiscium.
Explanation:
Biomass of bacteria can be measured by dry or wet mass. Bacteria numbers can be counted by spread plate method under the microscope.
In solid media the colonies obtained are diluted and number of cells will be seen by plate count method or on automated cell counter. The number would help calculate biomass
The biomass will be calculated by measuring wet and dry mass. Equipments required will be:
hydraulic gravity convection oven and centrifugation set up.
A cellulose acetate filter membrane is used which is 47 mm in diameter and 0.45 micron of pore size.
The cells grown settles down due to gravity. They are stirred to evenly spread in the broth and is kept in centrifuge.
The cells obtained after centrifugation will be taken and wet weight is obtained.
To obtain dry weight the cells are placed in oven for 6 hours to 24 hours. The resultant cells are weighed and dry weight obtained.
Biomass will be calculated by subtracting the wet mass to dry mass. This way biomass is obtained in epulopisicuium. Here the cells will be of different size so on centrifugation 2 or more phases of cells can be seen due to gravity change.
The structure being described is the tricuspid valve.The right atrium is one of the two atria of the heart which function by receiving blood entering the heart, it is located to the right of the left atrium and superior to the much larger and more muscular right ventricle. Between the right atrium and right ventricle is a one way valve known as the tricuspid valve.
