Our major finding was that the bugs prefer the dry side over the wet side. Our results support the hypothesis. Pill bugs prefer land that is dark and dry. So when they get thirsty they move to the wet side to get a drink then head back to the dry side. Then they stay there until they become thirsty again.
Sow bugs also prefer dark, damp, covered places because it keeps them hidden from most of their enemies, according to Pill Bug Biology: A Spider’s Spinach, But a Biologist’s Delight. The overall class observation
Rotten Apples I had an interest in decomposition and how it can help the earth and the world become a better place. The environment has a big issue when it comes to decomposition. The environment is a big issue when it comes to decomposition. I begin to think if the worms in our soil could decompose faster would that possibly help us with space for the wasted land we use for the trash. After a little research what was hypothesized was that the night crawlers would make the apple decay faster because they are a special breed.
This compound was once used as a pesticide for killing insects in stored grain. The elimination of this product has assisted my liver indirectly in living a longer and healthier life and acquiring a better nights sleep not having to worry about it. d) Trichloroethane was used as the key thinning ingredient in the liquid form of White Out. Fatalities were linked directly to this ingredient, and its subsequent elimination from the market has saved my emotions considerable effort considering my 6 year old son eats anything he can get his hands on, including glue and white out. e) Bromomethane is used to prepare Bermuda grass on golf courses.
The stick just happened to act as a good eating utensil however, had to be pulled out of the ground and forced against its original stance. Another example is a fruit such an apple we could say that the designer created this apple for source of food however it could also be eaten because its actually tastes good or is good for our health. This argument states that the apple was taken off the true to best suit the need, of becoming food because it tastes good. Therefore the apple suited the purpose of what was needed from it. Many items could be used for purposes that best suit them, and this does not take intelligent design.
Once again, this discovery proves that pain and itch are different. In addition, it is possible to find healing methods for chronic itchiness. Chronic itch is hard to treat. Unlike acute itchy reactions caused by mosquito bites, it is not mediated by histamine, and it also does not respond to antihistamine drugs; however, when Sun and Chen, who discovered GRPR, gave genetically normal mice a drug that blocks GRPR, they found the mice scratched less in response after injections of three itch provoking compounds. It was good sign for treating chronic itch.
The sexually transmissible disease gonorrhea has become increasingly resistant to treatment with antibiotics. What is the most likely scientific explanation? a) The gonorrhea bacteria learned to avoid antibiotics b) The gonorrhea bacteria changed their genes when they sensed antibiotics c) Antibiotic-sensitive gonorrhea bacteria died out, but antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea bacteria have flourished and persisted d) The antibiotic increased the mutation rate in the gonorrhea bacteria e) Both b and d 26. Which statement best describes the relationship between plants and animals on earth? a) Plants produce O2 and sugars from CO2 b) Animals produce CO2 and H2O from sugars and O2 c) Plants produce O2 and sugars and animals produce CO2 and H2O d) Animals produce O2 and sugars and plants produce CO2 and H2 27.
Biology 101 Weezie the Worm By: Carlin McKenzie Introduction My lab team did an experiment on what worms like and dislike being around. A lot of different kinds of wet and dry substances were tested during this experiment like corn starch, dry milk, baking soda, ginger, sand, orange juice, molasses, veggie oil, vinegar, and water. Weezie was evaluated how he liked the substances by neutral, negative, and positive. Neutral being that he didn’t really mind being around it, but he also wasn’t going to close. Positive was when he would go close the substance.
A flaw in this theory however is that it removes personal responsibility from overeating and could be used as an excuse for obesity. Also if this theory were true it would mean that everyone would have the same preference for high calorie foods, when evidently this is not true and we each have individual food preferences. Another evolutionary explanation of food preference is how we have learnt taste aversion and how to avoid eating poisonous foods. Our ancestors lived in an Environment of Evolutionary Adaption era and it was a case of survival of the fittest, and so in order to survive they had to learn what was good and bad for them to eat. Sweet taste is often associated with ripeness and therefore good foods to eat, whereas bitter tastes aren’t as enjoyable and therefore are associated with bad (poisonous) foods.
The results showed that isopods, like its natural habitats, preferred dark places. Introduction Isopods, or their scientific name of Armadillidium vulgare, are small segmented insects beneficial to breaking down naturally decaying wood and leaves in moist beds of soil. They do not actually have
