Los Angeles Valley College Biology Endangered Organism Paper
Now that your organism has been approved by me, you are ready to begin your research:
You already found three resources but to continue you should have at least of five.
Write at least two page (double spaced) paper on the organism that you have chosen. At minimum 3 pages and at maximum 5 pages (including references and small image)
Use all the sources you found so far and make sure to cite your sources. Here’s a short video on how to do that:APA citation works
Include the following:
1: Introduction to the endangered organism
2: Background information and why are they considered endangered?
3:
- organism
- Organism size
- Population size
- Effect on ecosystem
- Human effect on it
4: Ecology
- Habitat
- their role in the food chain
- Key adaptations in their environment
- Effect on environment if they were to go extinct
- Invasive species interaction and how those organisms effect your native organism
- effect of water supply and climate change on this organism
5: Interesting facts
- Future studies
- What can we as humans do to help remedy this organism and help them be less endangered?
- If you were a scientist studying this organism in real life what would tests would you like to do? Or what environmental factor would you like to study that effects the population size of your organism.
6: References
- You need at least five valid primary references (no news articles), you can use one textbook as a reference if you choose.
7. Post a small image of the organism on the last page.
