ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
As you dissect either virtual or real specimens, you will need to examine the body shape and coloration of each of your mollusks.
You need to be specific in the analysis questions – about shell (inner/outer), camouflage/coloration, mobility, body shape, fins. Make sure to discuss about both the organisms in the questions.
SQUID ANALYSIS QUESTIONS:
How is each animal adapted to the environment?
What type of habitat or environment and lifestyle is each animal adapted for?
What problems will these animals have?
What features observed will enhance its chances for survival?
OYSTER & SQUID ANALYSIS QUESTIONS:
How is each animal adapted to the environment?
⦁ Squid: Squid have some unique adaptations. Some can change color, some use bioluminescence to create light, and some shoot ink to cloud the water and lose predators, they also have many other adaptions like the shape body, there long and skinny making them fast …show more content…

⦁ Squid: It depends on the species you are talking about, you can find squid in all major bodeis of water. Some will live in warm tropical waters and other will live in a cooler climate water. Most squid live in salt water but there are some that live in freshwater as well.
⦁ Oysters: They can live in a wide range of areas due to there strenght towards temperature, salinity, and concentrations of suspended sediments and dissolved oxygen.
What problems will these animals have?
⦁ Squid: Most squid have very short life spans, also squid a prey for a wide varity of larger animals and their only defense is there speed and ink (sephia).
⦁ Oyster: Their only defense is there shells due to the fact that they don 't move. There considred a key species because their the pray for a wide majority of animals.
What features observed will enhance its chances for survival?
⦁ Squid: Some can change color, some use bioluminescence to create light, and some shoot ink to cloud the water and lose predators, all these adaptaions will enhance their chance of survivale.
⦁ Oysters: Their shell, and camoflouge, will enhance their chance of

70 common limpets were identified in the 40m bracket identified as the littoral zone, between 0m to 40m. The common limpet employs a range of adaptations to survive the abiotic and biotic conditions associated with the littoral zone. Firstly, the limpet uses a structural adaptation to overcome the harsh wave action in the tidal zone, by using their radula to grip on to imperfections in the rock. Furthermore, they employ a behavioural adaptation of grinding their shells down into the rock, to further ensure they are not swept away by the tide. Additionally, the limpet utilises a behavioural adaptation regarding its tough shell and powerful radula, to defend against predators.

Once acclimated, the isopods walked around the arena for five minutes and go to the sponges that they preferred. The experiments should be repeated 3 times with the same design layout for accurate results. 20 isopods were released in the center of the arena. After five minutes, the number of isopods behind every sponge was

The experiment consisted of two sub-experiments that when synthesized together, successfully answered our main question. The first of the two sub-experiments focused on collecting data for the creation of a life table in which Daphnia magna were not in the presence of a predator such as Lepomis macrochirus, known in laymen’s terms as bluegill fish. The second of the two sub-experiments focused on collecting data for the creation of a life table as well, but this time the daphnia were subjected to an environment where bluegill fish were present. The collection of the data for the creation of the first lifetable without predation consisted of fourteen replicates or daphnia starting at age 3 and ending at varying ages depending on the mortality of each replicate group.

The Striped Pyjama Squid The striped pyjama squid is a very poisonous cephalopods out of the few that wander across the ocean bottom of indo- Pacific Oceans. Lots of scientists think that the black stripes on the Pyjama squid gives away its venomous attributes eliminating many predators. Also when they turn a dark purple with black stripes it give away its venomous attributes. Even though the name says squid ,The Striped Pyjama Squid is actually a species of cuttlefish, a multifaceted animal that can often change its appearance, has an central shell, eight arms and two feeding tentacles.

The following analysis is a comparison of two marine animals, octopus, Octopoda, and the moon jelly, Aurelia aurita, and how their nervous systems differentiate. Octopus have bilateral symmetry and jellyfish have radial symmetry which correlates to their body functions. Both species behave differently but share similar features, although they are not related and have unique developments which evolve over time. The two species to be compared are the octopus, Octopoda, and the moon jelly, Aurelia aurita.

Brine Shrimps tend to hatch in specific environmental conditions, such as high and low salt concentrations in water, weather and temperature. As one of the environmental conditions in which Brine Shrimp eggs hatch is water salinity and so, in this assignment, we were given 4 different salinity levels of water, which were 0%, 3%, 6% and 9%. As a result of the experiment, we noted that after 24 hours only one egg hatched at 3% salinity level and none at 0%, 6% and 9% levels. The second day, which was after 48 hours, there were 0 shrimps that hatched in 0% and 9% salinity levels, whereas at 3%, 7 out of 46(15.3%) eggs hatched and 6 out of 49(11%) at 6% levels. Based on this data our group concluded that the best level for hatching shrimps is 3%

The adaptive features of animals: i. Adaptation to live in the habitat lack of oxygen A. Crayfish: Crayfish lives in fresh water stream, which is an aquatic environment. The oxygen level in fresh water upper stream is higher than the lower stream, but the oxygen concentration is still low. The gills of crayfish are much bigger than the size at first glance. They occupied under the cephalothorax carapace in branched-shape and provided a large surface area to volume ratio to carry out gas exchange. Fresh water will be pulled into the cavity by the movement of the “gill bailers”.

This laboratory experiment involving invertebrates is conducted to enable students to investigate Daphnia magna’s responses to external stimuli, therefore developing a better understanding and knowledge of homeostasis that occurs in organisms and the reaction and behavior exhibited by the daphnia magna when varying conditions are exposed to the organism compared to its natural environment conditions (Carter-Edwards et al, 2011). In order to understand the experiment, a foundation of information about the chosen organism such as its natural environment and physiology must be understood. According to Clare (2002) and Ebert (2005), Daphnia magna are small planktonic crustaceans belonging to the subclass Phyllopoda, found in lakes and

Overharvest is one of the major threats to oysters worldwide (Beck et al 2011; Seavey et al. 2011). At the beginning of oyster harvest history, oysters were collected hand picking. Although, as the public demand increase, farmers develop new techniques, that allow the collections of bigger volumes of oysters, in less time. These techniques would end up with a destruction

Ethical subjectivism, also known as moral subjectivism, is a philosophical theory. This approach supports euthanasia in the sense of allowing the truth and rights of an individual to remain at a different level. Ethical subjectivism is a theory that suggests that moral truths are determined at an individual level, therefore making it your reality. Euthanasia is the painless killing of an aggressively tormented dying patient. I believe that euthanasia must be legal, and I agree with the whole logic and the procedure.

They are very unique in many different ways and a crucial support for human life. They play also a very important role in the marine life such as giving shelter and food for millions of species including fishes, crabs, or shrimps. They support 33% of marine fish species. They also have specific and certain conditions to be formed, and to survive. They are also known as the “rainforest of the oceans” because of its huge diversity.
