Pill Bug Experiment

151 Words1 Page

The hands were washed. Goggles were placed on the eyes for extra protection. A petri dish containing nine pill bugs were obtained and set aside for later use. Two water bottles’ ends were cut and taped to each other creating a miniature tunnel for the pill bugs to crawl in. 50 mL of tap water was obtained in a small beaker and then was slowly moved into the lid of the bottle using a funnel. The sugar used in this experiment was created by mixing ten milliliters of starch,glucose, and regular countertop sugar. This was transferred into the joint water bottle tunnel using a funnel. Both ends of the tunnel were sealed shut and each measurements were taken every three minutes and final measurements were taken after 21 minutes. The results were

    Bed bugs, known as Cimex lectularius L., are blood-sucking insects that dwell in homes, hotels, and basically anywhere. In order for the bed bugs to survive and grow, the bug feeds on blood. The best time for the bed bugs to come out and retrieve their daily dose of blood is at night, which is controlled by the circadian rhythm. During the bug’s nightly routine, the bug is triggered by carbon dioxide released by the humans and comes out of its hiding place to seek a victim. The heat produced by the victim attracts the bed bug onto the bare skin.

    The overall purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of different types of environments on pill bug attractancy. Pill bugs were exposed to 2 different environments (sugar and water). The attractancy was observed and recorded in a raw data table. A research hypothesis was formulated that the sugar would work as the best attractant for pill bugs. Sugar had the greatest impact of the two environments used because it attracted 8/9 ants.

    The Inheritance of Genetic Traits in Fruit Flies Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to culture fruit flies and to study the inheritance of traits via genetics in the fruit flies we culture. Fruit flies are a common, small fly found around unripe or rotted fruit, hence the name (Geiger). This species of fly has commonly been used in many studies associated with genetics due to the lack of effort required to care for them, their short life cycle, and their easily distinguishable traits.

    The dialysis experiment did not concur with the original hypothesis that all of the substances would be able to pass through the dialysis tubing into the surrounding water in the beaker. Sodium chloride and sugar did pass through the membrane while starch, was not able to pass through (fig. 7). These results show that sodium chloride and glucose (sugar) are small enough molecules to permeate the membrane, but starch is a much larger molecule and therefore was not able to get through. This is understandable because starch has a much higher molecular weight than the other two

    There are a great number of reasons why the interactions between parasites and their hosts are fascinating and should be acknowledged. Parasites and their hosts have a deeply intimate relationship, and the effects of these interactions have perplexing behavioral results and the ingenious, unparalleled mechanisms that parasitoids use to infest their hosts is not something to underestimate. The comprehension of parasitoid-host interactions and the ramifications on host behavior have helped us better understand the mysteries of relevant insect behavior, such as the collapse of honeybee populations, the control of invasive insects with the implementation of parasitoids that only parasitize the non-native species, and also how and why parasitoids
