If they come close to you, you will get stuck in there tentacles (Tarshis 6-7). As soon as the tentacles touch your skin, it injects deadly venom into your body. Immediately, you stop breathing, you lose consciousness, the heart beats irregularly, then it stops beating, and venom is absorbed into the blood stream very rapidly (6). Box Jellyfish are extremely dangerous, and depending on how bad the stings are, people may die. Over the decades, the Box Jellyfish have
However, Lionfish can have negative effects on the overall reef habitat as they can eliminate organisms which serve important ecological roles such as herbivorous fish which keep algae in-check on the reefs. Lionfish usually prefer living in still waters protected from any current, in quieter and darker parts of the reef; they are also known to exist in bays, estuaries and harbors. A female lionfish will release between 4,000 and 30,000 eggs during mating to be fertilized by the male’s sperm. This invasive species is growing and spreading rapidly through the Americas. It is uncertain how the lionfish arrived.
The Northern Snakehead can survive up to four days out of water and can grow up to 33 inches long. The species has been nicknamed “Frankenfish” due to its shark-like teeth and aggressiveness. It was first introduced in a pond in Crofton, Maryland in June 2002. Researchers believe the species ended up in the U.S. due to uncaring disposal of aquarium pets. Other researchers think some people were trying to breed Snakeheads as they bring a large amount of money in some areas.
The initiator isn’t strictly a catalyst as it is involved in the actual formation (one initiator molecule per ½ polymer molecule). LDPE is used in plastic bags, plastic bottles, and cling
Explain your answer. It is homogenous because you can't see the different parts in it Procedure: 1. Cut 3 strips of coffee filter. Be sure that the strips are much narrower and slightly taller than the drinking glasses. 2.
One is amylose an unbranched polysaccharide with 1-4 glycosidic bonds. The second is amylopectin, a branched polysaccharide with 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds, as is glycogen. All of these are made of Alpha glucose monomers. In starch the chain of Alpha glucose is in a coil making it compact and efficient for storage in small space, allowing more to be stored per unit volume. Glycogen has more branches which are shorter than in starch.
Is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) a heterogeneous or homogenous mixture? Explain your answer. Procedure: 1. Cut 3 strips of coffee filter. Be sure that the strips are much narrower and slightly taller than the drinking glasses.
Alligators and they get trapped within the hydrilla. Limpkins, because their primary food source, apple snails, are dying out in the Wakulla Springs ecosystem. Apple Snails and they are being battled because the hydrilla halts the snails as they ascend to the surface, so they drown. Some of the methods that have been used and that have failed are using dip nets, booms, hand pulling and mechanical harvesters The method that is being used now is putting herbicide within the spring. “Hydrilla was imported
Isolation of Trimyristin from Nutmeg and Its Hydrolysis to Myristic Acid Compounds having complex molecular structures can be separated from natural materials. Usually they are components of very complex mixtures. To obtain pure compounds, long, tedious separation and purification procedures are often required. The triester, trimyristin, is however an exception and can be extracted from ground nutmeg seeds with tert-butyl methyl ether. Crystallization from acetone yields the pure compound.
“Apparently the mass of the plastic particles is six times more than the mass of the natural plankton in the area.” This large expanse of ocean has become unhealthy for the animals that feed around the Gyre. “The plastic is found at depths of up to 30 meters. It is literally creating a landmass.” Because not all the plastic’s as it breaks down, and releases large amounts of toxic substances into the water of the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention that the Sea birds and other marine animals mistake these sand like plastics as food, and aren’t able to digest the plastics resulting in a large number of deaths of these animals. We all can contribute in helping the slow the growth of “trash Island” so some call it.
