Using the 0.1 M stock solutions of sugar, a 0.01 M dilution was created for each sugar type by adding water to the stock solution 9 out of 1. A 20 mL dilution was made for each trial. The same volume of each solution (10 mL -5 mL ) was added to the green sponges to create four group; Group 1: Sponge with 10 Ml 0.01 M glucose solution, Group 2: Sponge with 10 mL 0.01 M fructose solution, Group 3: Sponge with 10mL 0.01 M sucrose solution, Group 4 (Control): Sponge with 10 mL water. The four sponges were placed every 90 degrees on the edge of the arena. The isopods were placed into their environment for one to two minutes to acclimate with the environment.
“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel” (King James Version, Prov. 12.10). In order to fully regard the life of God’s beasts, we must preserve/facilitate their population so others can look and marvel at God’s creation. Information shows that seahorse populations are commonly vulnerable to heavy exploitation due to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), aquarium trade, and destruction of natural habitats (Allee). The IUCN red list of threatened species tracks animal populations and classifies them based on conservation status. Many species of seahorse such as the Hippocampus Reidi are classified as data deficient; showing there is a lack of research and concern over these disappearing
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Hypotheses: • If Gummi Bears are submerged in tap water and distilled water, they will expand due to osmosis in order to create equilibrium in hypotonic solution • If Gummi Bears are submerged in salt water, they will decrease inside to create equilibrium in a hypertonic solution Materials: • 2 Gummi Bears • 2 plastic 8oz cups • 2 forks • Distilled water • Centimeter rule • Saturated salt solution • Paper towels • Electric scale • Permanent marker Procedures: 1. Obtain two plastic cups and two different color bears. 2.
The Keepers from the Plankton Factory are being charged with child abuse. Esperanza Mendoza the leader of the Convent in San Lois caught the Keepers beating up children and duct taped one other children. Some kids testified against the Keepers. Most of the kids say that Jorge Martinez had beaten some of the kids that work there. Fidelito Lopez states, “I was there, Jorge had grab a cane out of a closet and he was going to beat me with it, but Matt had came out and took the cane from Jorge.
Preparation for the Dissection The Dogfish shark is about 70 inches long and you should notice along the side of the shark there is a light colored horizontal stripe called the lateral line. Made up of a tiny pore that lead to receptors that are very sensitive to the mechanical displacement of water and sudden changes of pressure. You will need tools for this including Latex gloves, yard stick (with centimeters), scalper knife, scissors, probe, and if you have a weak stomach you should wear facemask so the smell won’t be bad.
We measured out the required volume of seawater with a graduated cylinder, pouring the contents into each jar. Because our calculated seawater volume was not a whole number, we utilized a micropipette to transfer the remaining amount of seawater. We then proceeded to collect algae from the large flask after carefully swirling around the algae to evenly distribute it within the water (Flipped Lab Videos 2016a). Using the micropipette, we transferred the appropriate volume of algae to the jars. We collected a sample of brine shrimp and added them to petri dishes in order to view them underneath a dissection microscope.
Blackfish The documentary Blackfish, directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite released in July 2013, explores the mistreatment of killer whales and the relationship between the killer whales and trainers as well as the significant problems of the sea-park industry, with a focus upon SeaWorld. Cowperthwaite positions the audience to feel sympathy towards the killer whales by making deliberate choices in sound, visual, language, and structure through the representation of trainers as unprofessional, and whales as mistreated, also experts as reliable information source. Firstly, Cowperthwaite uses effective language techniques to position the audience to view the trainers as undertrained and unprofessional.
Saltwater and freshwater fish have some differences in their tank set up. For example, saltwater fish need more water per fish. It is also important that the tank remains stable
In this experiment, a virtual program designed to demonstrate the swimming of a virtual fish, was used. This program is called SWIMMY. SWIMMY was used in this experiment to determine the circuits that are used in the movement of an animal. This is done by presenting the neurons and the neural circuits in a body which can allow and show the movement of the fish’s tail virtually. The movement of the fish tail occurs by the activation of motor neurons.
Seymour’s Bananafish and an Impossible Pursuit of Innocence In Salinger’s short story “A Perfect Day for Bananafish,” Second World War veteran Seymour struggles to navigate through his dissatisfaction towards the materialism of the modern world and his impossible desire to return to the pure and uncorrupted state of innocence. Seymour’s wife, Muriel and mother-in-law both typify the vapidity that he so despises, all the while revealing through their conversation the external circumstances that have shaped him. Meanwhile, through Sybil, the child with whom Seymour shares a deep spiritual connection, Salinger reveals Seymour’s consequent tormented and complex psyche. The leitmotif of bananafish, which in their fatal insatiability symbolise adult
The human body is mentally and physically evolved for Earth’s habitat. Through survival of the fittest, it has been refined and optimized for the pressurized, warm, and friendly environment of our planet. When a human leaves the safety that Earth and its atmosphere provides, much as a floundering fish out of water, there are consequences. The radiation and lack of gravity lead to possible health problems and the journey itself has a psychological impact on those who undertake it.
When one thinks of a veterinarian, most associate this job title with treating dogs, cats, horses, cows, and other farm and companion animals. However, a relatively small field not known by the general population is that of marine veterinary medicine. If one has a passion for the water and a desire to help the creatures in it, marine veterinary medicine just may be the perfect career. Marine veterinarians are responsible for “conducting basic exams and evaluations, giving vaccinations, taking samples of blood and other bodily fluids, prescribing and distributing medication, evaluating behaviour, performing surgical procedures, and taking x-rays and sonograms” (Kramer “Life of an Aquatic Veterinarian”).
If you were asked to guess the most popular soup in the United States what would your guess be? Most likely your answer would be the classic American chicken noodle soup, while that answer is technically correct, chicken noodle is not the only number one soup in the nation, the other soup at the top position might surprise you. According to Mobile-Cuisine.com, clam chowder shares the number one spot of most popular soup in the nation with chicken noodle. Clam chowder is also believed to be one of the first dishes to be introduced to the American colonies, making it one of the oldest dishes in the nation which explains its popularity. But is its age the only reason for the soup’s popularity, what makes the dish a specialty staple in American
90% of the farmers in marine and brackish aquaculture own less than have difficulties obtaining finances for investments The shrimp production is however highly profitable. In
For this reason, since the C.columna has a wider fundamental niche of LTZ-HTZ than the C.brunnea (MTZ-HTZ) they are able to efficiently feed in any of the three intertidal zones, while the C.brunnea is only able to feed in two. This links with how the C.brunnea are better adapted for living in the HTZ than the C.columna, who are better adapted at feeding in the LTZ-MTZ. Therefore, the C.columna are able to competitively exclude the C.brunnea from the MTZ (where their niches overlap) and restrict their distribution to the upper shore because they have the wider fundamental niche. It is also due to the fact that the C.columna have the behavioural adaptation of being able to settle on another grounded barnacle, while the C.brunnea do not. Because of this, the C.columna are better able to increase their population whilst decreasing the population of the C.brunnea in the MTZ as they are able to occupy more space.
