Recommended: Lab report on isopods

Rolly-polly Research Paper Terrestrial isopods are also known as sow bugs or pill bugs. Pill bugs are related to lobster, crabs, and shrimp. Pill bugs are found in moist areas like under rocks; also they are different from sow bugs. Pill bugs curl into a ball when they feel threatened, as to sow bugs when they feel threatened, they run away.Today, for my experiment, I will need some soaked and dried paper towels. Therefore, one paper towel will be soaked with baking soda, and the other towel will be left dried. I will be sharing my documented data on the experiment. For experiment with wet and, dry towels, the pill bugs liked more the wet paper towel than the dry paper towel, because they like moist areas. For my other part of my experiment

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.

Also, they like to eat Detritus and it is a more acidic plant (Animal Behavior: Pillbugs and Their Preferences, 2003-2015). This being said, would isopods refer to be in an area with low pH, high pH or water? I there is a low pH, high pH, or water, then the isopods would prefer the water because most organisms are sensitive to certain pH levels.

Based on my observations I hypothesized that both Herbert Run and the Commons stream would have a high level of nitrate, conductivity, and turbidity. I hypothesized this because of traffic, liter, and the waste and pollution in both streams. For the Commons Stream, the Conductivity was 1086µS/cm. The turbidity was 0 FAU. Last, the Nitrate level for Commons was 0.08 ppm.

Introduction: Isopods are crustacean, which is split into smaller groups, called order. Scientifically Isopoda order is called isopods, which include pill bugs and sow bugs (Crustacean class). Most of the time isopods are mistaken for “bugs” since they look like insects.

In our experiment, we examined the behavior of isopods by conducting the experiment based on our hypothesis: “If ten isopods are put into the test chamber, 5 in sand and 5 in soil, which environment will the pillbug prefer.” We hypothesized that the isopods would favor the soil more than the sand because pillbugs are typically found in soil and not in sand. Pillbugs are favored in soil because the natural role of a pillbug is to eat dead and decaying things but, in sand there are no nutrients available for pillbugs. Pill bugs are mostly found in moist environments, due to having gills, gills only function when they are wet so pill bugs will inhabit places in which air holds a lot of water

The theory I hope to try and figure out is that how long would it take me to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll Pop? Also are there other ways to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll Pop? Like really have you ever looked at a Tootsie Roll Pop it looks like it would take forever to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll Pop! Unless you bite it or like some other technique of getting to the center of the lollipop. That’s why I’m also conducting other techniques of getting to the center of the Tootsie Roll Pop.

The Mediterranean Loggerhead Sea Turtles tend to nest in the eastern side of the the sea on the coasts of Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Turkey, and parts of northeast Libya and Egypt (Zbinden, Aebischer, Margaritoulis, Arlettaz, 2007). The female adult Loggerheads lay eggs on the beach (terrestrial ecosystem), preferably with coarse sand and a steep incline. The beaches tend to be wide with low dunes in the rear and flat sandy shorelines. However, this is a generalization. Detailed characteristics of the beaches can vary greatly between regions.

Future Plans How many licks can tootsie roll take before melting away? The washington post says “But Tootsie Roll, which has traded on its name for decades, has remained deeply stuck in the past. Now, with its spiritless sales and slipping profits, the $2 billion confectioner is facing what analysts call a hard truth for the modern sweets industries: Candymakers must evolve or die.” It sounds like to me that tootsie roll is near the end of the line because they are having a hard time catching up to today’s times and they are living in the past.

Though caution was emphasized, and extreme carefulness had been placed in the taping process, some tape may have gotten inside the bottle, and fruit flies may have been stuck to it, which had skewed data. The lab manual from College Board, which states, “The common fruit fly….feeds on the fungi of rotting fruit,” (College Board 2004) reinforces the hypothesis clearly, and depicts chi square values with values such as 18.75. Experiments performed in UC Davis show that “fruit flies are regularly trapped….by yeast, and “the chemicals released by microbes….[attracted] more flies.” (Garvey 2014)

a) On the Index of the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachinds and Nematode, the webpage for the Allograpta oblique it mentions its common English name and who came up with the name. On the same website for the webpage for the Tyrophagus putrescentiae, it mentions its common name, where its found, who is the host, where it resides and what the symptoms could be if this insect attacks as well as the references from where the information has been given. b) In order to find my insects on this website, I initially went to the search option at the top of the webpage.

Some of the creatures included in this diagram are gonodactylidae, coronididae, sculdidae, and such. These are the names of other mantis shrimp. They are all under the category of unipeltata which is used to describe any creatures that burrow, are predatory and aquatic, are stalk eyed, etc. So any stomatopoda is under the classification of unipeltata. It’s easy to get confused with all the complex terms used to explain the phylogeny of organisms so below a diagram is provided so that one can more easily view all the other types of mantis shrimp that exist.

The Problem: How does temperature affect the dissolving time of an antacid tablet? Antacid tablets are medicines that help neutralize the acid in your stomach. Antacid tablets are made of numerous numbers of components, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking powder), magnesium hydroxide, critic acid, and many others. When Antacid tablets are placed in water, they undergo a chemical reaction, where the sodium bicarbonate breaks apart to make sodium and bicarbonate ions. When the bicarbonate ions collide with hydrogen ions, it produces carbonic acid.
