Many people are afraid of robots because of how robots are portrayed in science fiction. The problem here is that people use these stories as examples of how robots will take over the world even though the robots in the story are the product of the writer’s imagination. Science fiction assumes that robots will turn on mankind because it makes for an interesting conflict, not because it’s the most likely event. It’s the same way as with zombie stories - a strange, antagonizing force is made up to…

This last month, in AP Biology, the class completed the dissection of a starfish, followed by a crayfish. With the experience of these labs, comparisons can be made between many aspects of these two organisms. These aspects suited for comparison include the body plans and symmetry of starfish and crayfish, the science behind their need and ability to move, how each organism obtains oxygen and distributes it therefore throughout the body, the processes of their digestive and nervous system, and…

return home scarred for life by what they have witnessed first-hand. However, advances in today’s military technology either lower the risk of injury in the field or allow soldiers to operate far from the frontlines. Innovations such as drones and exoskeletons not only increase our military power but decrease the already high rate of death. In my essay, I will be discussing the many advances in military technology that will help make the battlefield less hazardous for our brave soldiers.…

like mouthparts all while injecting digestive enzymes and paralyzing saliva at the same time. After the digestive enzymes take care of the ant insides, the ant bug ingests all the insides of the ant through the exoskeleton. After completely digested, the ant bug places the empty exoskeleton on its back and it is able to stick due to the adhesive threads excreted from the ant bug’s abdomen (Jackson 5). With ant carcasses on its back, the ant bug looks even more threatening and less of an…

marine ecosystems with the growing emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. It the coral, shell forming organisms and some phytoplankton in these ecosystems that are of the most concern with rising CO2 levels due the calcium carbonate that forms their exoskeletons and shells. The acidification of the ocean creates inadequate pH levels for the marine ecosystems. It is the coral polyps that are of the highest degree of interest as to their reactions to the acidification of the ocean due to rising CO2…

Locomotion is the movement of a body from one place to another. There are various ways in which species of organisms in the 9 major phylum classes of the kingdom Animalia adapted unique muscle systems and how they use them. A phylum class includes organisms that are different but share important characteristics that resulted from evolutionary relationships among major groups of animals that allowed organisms to adapt in terms of the way they locomote. The Phylum Porifera is made up of sea…

Bedbug extermination is in growing demand across the country as an increasing number of people suffer from the painful, itchy bites of these pests. Besides the bites, bedbugs will leave other physical signs that indicate there is an infestation in your home. The experts at Ron Smith Termite and Pest Control in Sevierville, TN, know how to identify and eliminate bedbugs. These pest control professionals encourage their customers in the greater Knoxville area to watch for the following clues: •…

This, however, is not an actual spring, as the gap would provide an apparent opening in the animal’s exoskeleton. Instead, this mechanism is a saddle-shaped device called a hyperbolic paraboloid (Patek, 2004). This shape allows a reduction of stress by allocating the potential energy over a three-dimensional surface. This is dissimilar to a spring because…
