Roly Pollie Party; How Different Types of Music Impact Pill Bugs Behavior In our experiment, my partner and I came up with the hypothesis that the vibrations of different kinds of music would affect the behavior of pill bugs. Pill bugs, also know as Roly Pollies, are small, black, terrestrial crustaceans, that roll up to protect themselves from predators. Pill bugs can't hear, but they can sense the vibrations from the sounds. This lead my partner and I to see how the vibrations from the sound would impact the behavior of the Roly Pollies.…
Pill bugs name is woodlouse. Climate change will have an effect on animals, plants, and humans. With climate change rising many animals are going to get extinct in the future. Pill bugs are small animals that can live under rocks, and when you catch one they always tend to rolled up into a small ball. Their body temperature has to match with the environment that they live on.…
A digestive tract, reproductive organs, and blood vessels could be seen inside the earthworm. The mouth led to a pharynx, esophagus (which was covered by the reproductive organs), a soft crop, hard gizzard, and an intestine that continued on to the rest of the body. The earthworm’s brain was barely visible. A pair of small, white, ball-shaped seminal receptacles lay on each side of the earthworm, along with two pairs of larger, whitish seminal vesicles below them. Beneath the reproductive organs, a dark aortic arch was visible.…
Larvae hatch and spend the Winter in the soil. In early Spring the larvae begin feeding and then turn into pupae resting stage. They come out as adult beetles in the Summer.…
Ostherr also convincingly connects her evidence to her sub-claims and central argument. In Chapter One, Ostherr uses the Rockefeller Foundation’s production of Unhooking the Hookworm as an example of how biopower works—the health film had the ability to either “help viewers imagine unseen worlds and change their behavior accordingly [emphasis added], or alternatively, to reject the visualization as implausible and, therefore, irrelevant to their daily life,” in which case biopower would not have operated successfully upon the viewers (Ostherr 46). Ostherr successfully supports her claim by further stating that Unhooking the Hookworm “illustrates the recurring idea that there are core differences between audiences of “medical men” and the “general…
You might think that ladybugs are well protected from animals that want to eat them. They have a protective covering with a colorful pattern that warns animals that there is poison beneath the surface. But a tiny wasp can get past the ladybug’s defenses, invading both its abdomen and its brain and controlling its behavior. This wasp is called a parasite because it feeds on another living thing and causes harm.…
I choose the article “Hidden Epidemic: Tapeworms Living Inside People’s Brains” by Carl Zimmer. I picked this particular article because I thought it was interesting to learn about the effects tapeworms can have on a person’s brain and the things tapeworms can cause that people do not usually hear about. This relates to the class because we talked about tapeworms and their effects on humans. We also talked about how people get them and how long they can stay in the body.…
There are several species that are still insect eaters and have adapted only for insects. There could have been a mutation in the gut, because there are two families that are able to digest insects and are slightly omnivorous, and in one family they are herbivores to omnivorous. Food sources that are low in quality need more chewing need extended teeth compared to others (Scott 2012). The selective pressures from their habitat could have brought about the need for a mutation in the gut that would allow them to digest higher calorie food…
A man had something amazing living in his fish tank, and he did not notice it for two years. He decided to clean out his fish tank one day because he noticed that there were coral colonies missing. While he was cleaning out the tank, he noticed a bristle worm. The bristle worm is also known as a Polychaete. He stated that after he discovered the bristle worm, he only saw it three times over the course of a year.…
Pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis) is a worm that is shaped like a small bracelet that live in the lower part of the digestive tract. A person exposed to the pinworms infection, also known as oxyuriasis. Pinworms infection most often occurs in children, could even affect up to two-thirds of children aged 5-10 years. The worm, which on average has a body length of 5 to 13 millimeters, usually put its eggs on the folds of skin around the anus at the time the sufferer being asleep.…
The glow worm is an insect that lives in grassy areas, and anywhere with plants. Glow worms also are omnivores and eat meat, they tend to eat snails and slugs, which makes up the glow worms diet. The worm has some distinctive features such as a hard shell for protection, a light at the end of it and through their body, with little horn things at the top of the head. The glow worm is also not an extinct bug; they are still around just not many seen. The glow worms habitat are woodland and caves.…
The transmission of signals across neurons relies on proper release of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles after they move down the axon and fuse across the cleft. This vesicle transport depends on the protein kinesin which moves synaptic vesicles down the axon to the synapse for release. The inability to move a vesicle down the axon will be kinesin related since kinesin is linked principally with organelles that travel in the anterograde direction on the axon (Nobutaka). The nematode C. elegans is a model organism for studying these functional defects in neurons because of their similar genome to humans and human disease.…
Ladybugs Ladybugs are very interesting and amazing creatures. They are harmless. Ladybugs are little insects. They are red with black spots, they can crawl or fly. They are very important.…
Young wasp and nesting birds only eat the caterpillar. While bats eat them when they are a moth. Some are other carnivorous insects. A carnivorous insect means that it eats other animals like…
They also position them in areas that provide substantial cover and protection from predators to enhance their survival rates. For example, areas such as holes of submerged plant stem to shield them for them to be covered from all predators and after hatching providing them shelter for their transition (Inoda, 2011). For our experiment, we specifically studied the Callosobruchus maculatus or the Bean Beetle. The life cycle for the Bean Beetle is extremely fast and does not require much attentiveness or monitoring. Mature beetles of this species do not need a source of fresh food or water.…
