Abstract: In this study of researching animals and their behaviors, demonstrates the behaviors of sow bugs and their likeness to dry vs. moist and light vs. shade preference. The general hypothesis for this experiment was that the sow bugs would prefer the shade vs. the light, and the moist climate vs. the dry climate. In this experiment, six sow bugs were obtained in a petri dish lined with filter paper that was taped to keep the bugs from escaping. Three different trials were completed by first covering half the petri dish with a piece of construction paper and the other half left uncovered in the presence of light. The second trial completed was covering half the filter paper with drops of water to present moisture, and dry on the other half, both in the presence of light.
Background – Rose In the early 1996, a new variant of Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) was diagnosed in Britain. This disease affects the human brain. Scientist linked this disease to the consumption of beef infected with Mad Cow Disease. This disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in cattle that causes a spongy degeneration in the brain and spinal cord. During this time, the beef industry was under great scrutiny from the media and consumers about how it conducted its everyday business.
Bio 100 Homework due 11/05/12 Name : Nicholas Oliveira Go to the website on cheetah conservation www.Cheetah.org and read the following sections under the tabs About Cheetahs: Intro, Genetic Diversity, & Race for Survival 1. Why are cheetahs endangered? Our attitudes and misconceptions about these species have led to their endangerment because many people deal with their fear by eliminating predators. 2. What are the 5 most common causes of extinction?
If they all die there will be more room for the panthers and all the other hard animals. Koalas are weak a pit will get rid of their whole ****ing family. That's why I don't like koalas. Koalas have sharp claws but they are weak. They all small and fat and they be climing trees.
Overpopulation of deer results in lack of food for the deer. The starving animals migrate toward domestic garden crops. Deer are not afraid to roam into suburban neighborhoods if there is evidence of food. It not only ruins homeowner’s crops, but it also places danger on families and their children playing outside. Taylor and Francis state: “Holsworth (1973) reported the results of a controlled hunt on the Griffith Island where the deer population was reduced from about 300 to 100 during eight hunting trips between October 1962 and April 1968 (Taylor and Francis 1).” Hunting provides incomparably healthier meat than the average processed meat.
Today the top Four companies (Tyson, Cargrill, JBS and National Beef) control more than 80% of the worlds meat market. With such high demands on these companies to produce so much, there are compromises that are made. These companies treat their livestock, and employees in a horrific and sickening manner. The animals are fed mostly corn products and given antibiotics daily. Most animals stand knee high in their own feces all of the time.
They cleared the land for sheep and cattle farming and also for the growing of crops as the land was thought to be so much more lush than in Britain. With the clearing of the land though, they also cleared the homes of animals and drove away Kangaroos, Emus and Possums, all of these being stable items in the Diet of the Aboriginals. The Sheep that the settlers had brought with them dug up and destroyed the Yam Daisy which was also largely eaten by the Aborigines. Because of the sparse amounts of food that were left for the Aboriginals to hunt and eat, they had to choose one of three options. Aborigines could choose to stay where they were and fight the settlers, though soon it was obvious that spears were no match for the guns that had been brought over.
(Almost 80% of all antibiotics sold in the United States are used in animal agriculture.) C. Diseases 1. Spreading of bacteria, viruses and fungi “Far from their natural habitat, the cattle in feedlots become more prone to all sorts of illnesses. And what they are being fed often contributes to the spread of disease. The rise in grain prices has encouraged the feeding of less expensive materials to cattle, especially substances with a high protein content that accelerate growth” D. Transportation Billions of farm animals endure the rigors of transport each year in the United States, with millions of pigs, cows, and “spent” egg-laying hens traveling across the country.
After a little research what was hypothesized was that the night crawlers would make the apple decay faster because they are a special breed. For the experiment I bought two types of worms; Canadian night crawlers and red worms. I made sure that both worms were containing the same amount of soil, and same brand of soil. Next I bought one apple and cut in half and placed two slices into each container, containing the two different types of worms. Every three days would record the growth of the mold or anything that’s changing about the apple.
Bubonic plague Is a zoonotic disease, circulating mainly among small rodents and their fleas, and is one of three types of bacterial infections caused by Yesinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis), which belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Without treatment, the bubonic plague kills about two thirds of infected humans within
