Question: Does the odorous smell of Tapinoma Sessile, more commonly known as Blue Cheese Ants or odorous house ants, decrease the rate of predation from predators such as toads? In context: Tapinoma Sessile are common pests in our everyday environment. They vary in size from 2.4 to 3.2 mm and can take shelter both outdoors and indoors. They feed on sugary snacks like honeydew, a glucose-filled fluid produced by small arthropods like aphids. They also feed on dead insects and spiders. To most…

To Be...or Not to Be...Alive or Not The green furry object is alive, because it has all of the 6 characteristics of living things. First of all, the object has cellular organization. The object is a unicellular organism. The one cell must do the functions of the cells in a multicellular organism. Additionally, the object has the chemicals of life. It has the elements in CHON, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It also has carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid. The object…

The Ocean and the Rain Forest The ocean biome and the rainforest biome are very much alike, but also very different. The two biomes are compared by the different climates, the animals that live there, and the different adaptations the animals and plants must adapt to be able to survive. Many characteristics in these two biomes are immensely different, but selected features are similar in these two biomes. Would you rather live at the bottom of the ocean (if it was possible) or live in the…

Visual Analysis Essay Bulldozers are often contributed to collapsed buildings, demolition, and destruction. Many of the images conjured up in our imaginations will represent the negative impact that bulldozers can be responsible for. The image from the advertisement in Global Issues, Local Arguments on page 262, created by the group called Californian’s for Population Stabilization, shows an image of a bulldozer surrounded by toppled trees in a lush, green forest with a heading directly above…

the Snow Forest – is a fascinating environmental phenomenon; spanning from North America to Eurasia in the highest latitudes, the taiga is an unbelievably difficult place to live, and plants and animals must be uniquely suited to handle the harsh climate and terrain. Surprisingly, there are a number of different plants that can endure the long, brutal winters and short, fleeting summers of the taiga, and they range from large pines to tiny lichens, each serving a role in this amazing ecosystem. …

process where plants use light energy and convert it into chemical energy is called photosynthesis. Plants have parts of them like the chlorophyll that is present inside the chloroplast that soak in light starting a process that will end up making ATP. Carbohydrates within the plants are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. When photosynthesis occurs then sunlight is turned into sugar and this sugar is kept in the molecular bonds of the sugar molecules that are present within the plant.…

When I was little, I was not like the other girls. I had decided to trade my barbies for beetles. My favorite pastime consisted of marching to the empty field next to my house, armed with a butterfly net and a bug cage, to catch grasshoppers. I would use them as bait when I went fishing with my dad, as food for my praying mantis, or as points in a contest with my friends. This fascination has stuck with me as I have grown up. From the roly polies and lady bugs I caught in my backyard to the…

Unit Goal: Students will be able state what they can do by the end of this unit. I Can…”: ● I can identify the parts of plant. ● I can demonstrate each part of the plant. ● I can explain the functions of the parts of a plant. Students will obtain, evaluate, communicate information about the basic needs of plants and identify the parts - root, stem, leaf, and flower. Day 1: Learning Objective: At the conclusion of this lesson, students will learn the life cycle of the pumpkin, and…

In trying to plan a home garden it made me realize as to how much planning needs to go into it. One of the first steps that need to be taken is deciding how big of a garden you want as well as to how you will organize your plots. Once you have decided that the next step one should take is deciding what crops you want to grow. Depending on the crops that you choose may affect how you wish to lay out your garden. Once you know what crops you wish to grow you than need to decide how you will manage…

Photosynthesis is the process where energy from the sun gets converted into glucose for the plant to use as food. The energy from the sun gets trapped in the chloroplasts and together with carbon dioxide and water, it is turned into glucose and oxygen. The glucose eventually gets used as energy for the plant to live and the oxygen is a waste product that is released. The oxygen is used by humans during cellular respiration. Photosynthesis began over 2 billion years ago when an organism first…
