Being affects the entire ecosystem, branch of biology that deals with the relationship of
organisms to their surroundings
When Jesse Senko was 12 years old, he had an experience that
literally changed his life. Senko was snorkeling while on vacation
in the Cayman Islands with his family when a large sea turtle
swam near him. Senko naturally did what any 12-year-old boy
would do and decided to grab the turtle and go for a ride. That
turtle ride, in some ways, has never ended. People find their
passions in many different ways. Senko found his passion while
riding on the back of a turtle when he was just 12 years old.

Today, Senko is a conservation scientist at Arizona State
University. He focuses his research and life's work on marine
resource sustainability. Can you guess what that includes? If you
guessed sea turtles, you would be correct. In college, Senko
majored in fisheries and wildlife science, and he also received a
Master of Science degree in wildlife ecology. Much of the focus
of his work is on saving endangered sea turtles,
set of things working together as parts of an
interconnecting network
Sea turtles help keep the ocean healthy, and thus their well-
being affects the entire ecosystem. They provide a natural
regulatory system for the environment. For example, sea turtles
eat seagrass, which helps it grow properly, and their unhatched
eons provide nutrients for plant life to keen beaches healthy Sea

Select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in this excerpt from f. scott fitzgerald's "winter dreams" seem to foreshadow dexter’s future obsession with “possessing” judy jones? now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained. they persuaded dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the state university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the east, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. but do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. he wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

Hich line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, (there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling), adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as (they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather,) and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that( i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country,) by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich.( i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. reset next)
