Herbivore

Students of Yr. 11, Marian Catholic College biology class, took on the role of a field officer for the Department of Environment and Climate Change to investigate the biological community present near Euroley Bridge, Yanco. During their time, they were to observe the various organisms that are found in the ecosystem, taking into account their surroundings amid this process. They were provided with a booklet that had various activities which were intrinsic to their Field reports such as a site…

are made up of 20 different kinds of amino acids, nine of which the body can't produce on its own. These nine are called Donovan 2''essential amino acids.'' Meat is considered a complete protein because it contains all nine of these amino acids. Herbivores need to properly combine plant-based foods to form a complete protein in a meal" (Scott 1). Having an entire vegan diet leaves these proteins insufficient. One would have to mix and match food groups and other products to gain these nine…

Beloved Brontosaurus”. This was such an interesting read to me because I feel as if he put so much effort and thought into it. For example he starts off the book by saying, “From the time I was a toddler, I desperately wanted to meet the gigantic herbivore.” He has had this interest clearly since he was a child and he goes into such depth about it. Many people feel otherwise as well. “My Beloved Brontosaurus” has many reviews including some from NY Times. For example, they state “Mr. Switek,…

Red Tide Even though red tide has been around for thousands of years it is yet still unaware to some common day people. Many people do not understand the effects of red tide to the environment around us and how it plays out; there is more to red tides than just discoloration of the ocean waters. Scientists and researchers are digging deeper into the reasons of why and how this phenomenon occurs. Red tide is often overlooked despite its harmful effects, but it can be as costly and damaging as…

class of enzymes produced by the fungi bacteria and protozoans that generate cellulolysis This process is actually the hydrolysis of cellulose The activity of the cellulase is to break down cellulose and convert it to into beta-glucose bacteria from herbivores make that type of cellulase. Cellulase is a carbohydrate that can be found in the cellular structure of a plant. Pectinse, also known as pectin, is an enzyme that breaks down plant cell walls. Pectinase is also used when fruit is turned…

to high on. Whether it is psilocybin being nicknamed “magic mushroom” or LSD in its natural pure state, it is not the organism itself, but a component that is found inside it and constantly produced as a “weapon” to fend off any predators, mainly herbivores and omnivores (obviously), those that do try to eat it. For psilocybin, they can be found in the genus Agaricales which include numerous species, listed in following along with the number of organisms per species: genera Psilocybe (117…

feet head to tail and can weigh up to 350 pounds. They tend to live for quite a while, reaching sexual maturity 30 to 50 years of age and can live up to 100 years of age if they partook in a healthy lifestyle, which includes living on a primarily herbivore diet (seagrasses and algae) as an adult, while juvenile turtles may feed on invertebrates such as insects and crustaceans. Typically, green sea turtles live and grow in shallow waters, most usually around islands and beaches, near reefs…

There are many topics to discuss in a popular novel like Frankenstein. However, the development of the creature’s character is one to focus on. The idea that people have of Frankenstein is that he is a tall, hideous monster with bolts sticking out of its neck. Nevertheless, that is the Hollywood version. Everyone who has read the book can assert that the creature is basically a kid with no experience in life whatsoever. Despite Victor’s characterization of the creature as a “wretch”, a “daemon”…

It is believed to have been involved in the plants self defence against threats, possibly herbivores. THC provides mild to moderate pain relief effects which in many cases has proven useful to patients suffering Multiple Sclerosis (MS). As it also has antispasmodic effects it also helps alleviate spasticity in MS patients. THC also has anti-sickness…

Wolves Clayton Hull-Crew wrote an editorial on the US-Represented website reflecting on the reintroduction of wolves into the Yellowstone National Park. Hull-Crew states that the wolves have been responsible for a major ecological shift beginning at the top of the food chain, slowly making its way to the bottom, effecting everything from beaver dams to river bed erosion. Hull-Crew claims that the wolves have created what is called a “Trophic Cascade” of events. A Trophic cascade is, “an…
