Earthworm

native wildlife such as, fish, frogs, and tadpoles. These frogs are used, if used at all, for research, mostly in the field of vertebrate embryology because females are prolific egg layers and the embryos are transparent. They eat a mouthful of earthworms two to three times a…

after everyone has left the peach, James is forced to clean up trash left behind but discovers a secret room inside of the peach. Within the room were a gang of human-sized bugs- a grasshopper, a ladybug, a glo-worm, a silkworm, a centipede, a earthworm, and a spider- who were also transformed by the magic. The centipede bites the stem of the peach which sends it rolling down the hill and through the town. Eventually, it lands in the ocean where they ‘sail’ for days. It is soon surrounded by…

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,…

depending on natural adaptation. There are two properties of the soil having pronounced direct effects on plant growth and crop production: physical and chemical properties. There are also biological factors or living organisms in the soil such as the earthworms, insects, nematodes and microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, algae, and protozoa. These organisms help in improving soil structure, tilth, aeration, water permeability and soil nutrient…

is a beautiful, vivid arrangement of colors. The sun is gazing through the clouds once more, imprinting a rainbow in the sky. It lightens up the dull, bleak atmosphere and sends a signal out to stir the wildlife. Slimy slugs, snails and earthworms have crept out through the rainstorm. The birds soon catch on…

important to keep the dog’s conditions the same as they normally would be so that the test would produce results that are applicable to real world families. 500 grams of compost were placed in 4 shoe-sized plastic bins with small holes. Each bin had 10 earthworms that are about the same length. 1 cup of sawdust was added each day along with varying amounts of dog waste. Bin 1 had received no dog waste and serve as a control. Bin 2 had received 25 grams of dog waste. Bin 3 had received 50 grams…

This experiment focused on the subject of Ecology which is the study of Organisms. This studies the relationship an organism has with other organisms and the relationship the organism has with their surrounding environment (Ecology, 2015). The creeks were a perfect example of an ecosystem in our study because they had different Abiotic and Biotic factors that we could look at to support our hypothesis and prediction. An ecosystem is an environment where abiotic (nonliving) and biotic (living)…

The first time I was truly in awe was when I was 15. It was spring break of 2013, and I was on a road trip along the Oregon coast with my dad and brother. We stopped at many different beaches along the way, but the one that stood out to me the most was at the end of the trip, at a barely visible turnoff on the road. I have always loved exploring, so I had begged my dad to pull over in hopes of finding a secret beach. The excitement kicked in as we climbed over the ridge. I had never seen a more…

Imagine this situation: Jennifer walks into a supermarket, and she goes through the aisles, buying a majority of healthy fruits, veggies, and lean meats. She undergoes this same shopping trip every week, believing eating a diet replete with healthy fruits, veggies, and proteins will lead to a long, healthy life. However, fifty years from now, Jennifer finds out she has cancer. How could this happen? Jennifer never acknowledged the difference between genetically modified and non-genetically…

well, the basic characteristics of all living things are: contains DNA (genetic material), metabolism and reproduction. Amoeba does all. b. Is the cell membrane of the organism rigid or flexible? Flexible Tissues Tissues observed in the earthworm Define: a. Unicellular Organism Any living being consisting of a single cell. Most are invisible without a microscope but a few, such as the giant amoeba, may be visible to the naked eye. The main groups of unicellular organisms are…
