Arthropod exoskeleton

Introduction The diversity of arthropods extends beyond the location factor alone as multiple influences such as humidity levels, atmospheric content and other environmental conditions contribute to their widespread assortment. Gaps in diversity indices do not only occur amongst insect populations residing at regionally distinct locations as these influences are also reflected in arthropod communities over small distances. Climatic conditions often lead to insect migrations and extinctions which…

Mealworms Response to Dark and Light Sujit Vankineni Introduction: Mealworms are baby versions of adult black beetles. Mealworms are also considered the larvae stage of the black beetles. The mealworm has a hard outer body called the exoskeleton which is used for burrowing. The mealworms shed their skins a few times as they grow in a process called molting. The mealworm has four stages of growth which include egg, larvae (the mealworm), pupa, and the adult (the black beetle). Mealworms enjoy…

Long ago there was a great vast paradise where all insects lived. Among these insects were the worms, the most easily frightened, and the most unwilling to try any new things out of all the insects; some may even say that these worms suffered from Neophobia. Everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the worms ate dirt. However they did not eat it happily; it was often that they would complain and say, “I am tired of eating dirt. It’s disgusting.” To which the older much wiser worms would say,…

https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Salt_Lake). Brine shrimp range from around 8-10 mm, including the tail. They have nineteen body segments, 11 of them include twenty-two legs total. Brine shrimp have an exoskeleton that with micro-muscles attached to it. The shrimp shed these exoskeletons approximately 12 hours after they hatch, they continue to shed them for up to 17 cycles. ( http://www.ee.pdx.edu/~davidr/discus/articles/artemia.html) Brine shrimp females will also release cysts in the…

Discussion: The purpose of this experiment was to observe the effects that salinity content had on the possible hatching successes of brine shrimp nauplii. It was also used in order to find the optimal salinity content and if that content was of high concentration, or that of a lower concentration. It was predicted that the Artemia spp would be much more positively affected, with higher percentages of live nauplii hatchings, in the water containing the lower amount of salinity content. The…

Striped bass eat a variety of foods, including fish such as alewives, flounder, sea herring, menhaden, sand lance, silver hake, tomcod, smelt, silversides and eels, as well as lobsters, crabs, soft clams, small mussels, sea worms and squid. The largest bass in Texas was caught on the Brazos river and it was 53 pounds. Stripped bass inhabit coastal waters up to 10 kilometers from shore and are often found in bays. In spring, they migrate to freshwater rivers and lakes to spawn. There are also…

Wallace effectively led both readers on and made them think that he was bias to one side before he stated facts going each what each group believed. He managed to stay in the middle of the debate and made the readers think about why the opposite group believes what they believe. His essay is subversive by putting possible doubt in the readers mind and made them actually listen to other viewpoints. When I say “other viewpoints” I am speaking about the viewpoints of people who think it is…

The Effect of pH Level on the Amount of Brine Shrimp Hatched By: Maggie Lazaroski and Paloma Diaz Period 1, January 8 2014 Introduction Paragraph In this experiment, we will be using brine shrimp to measure the effects of pH on the survival rate of invertebrate creatures. We will use white vinegar and baking soda to alter the level of pH, the white vinegar to make the pH level higher and the baking soda to make the pH lower. We will be feeding the shrimp yeast, which is completely…

The essay, “Consider the Lobster”, written by David Foster Wallace is about him visiting the Maine Lobster Festival. He believes that the festival is more than about the food and entertainment. First, he goes into very specific details explaining the lobster. He stated, “Lobsters are both hunters and scavengers”, (page 2). I believe that the main purpose of the article is to tell people to look at reality and consider the lobster on what they have to go through to be cooked and eating. He…
