What the stream team will be doing is going to the stream and seeing how much nitrate, phosphates, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, and pH is in the water. The stream team will look at the effect on water quality, the effect on plants and animals, the acceptable levels for swimming, sources and sources categorized, the best management practices, whether the sources are point source, or nonpoint source pollutants, and the test results. The stream team will be doing all of those topics…

testing. In 2006 the department of agriculture concluded that 670,000 of animals used in testing only experience momentary pain or distress, 420,000 were given pain relievers and, 84,000 were not. Their research did not include rats, mice, birds or invertebrates (Rosen, p.35). Pain is categorized into four different levels in the UK, mild, moderate, substantial, and unclassified. Animals who were put through unclassified pain were put to sleep immediately after the experiment (Rosen, p.35). Many…

Animal experimentation is the process of using animals to research new technologies, medications, and behaviors of animals. Also known as in vivo testing, vivisection, and animal testing, it is used all over the world to ensure products are safe for human use. People all over the world find the practice to be inhumane, cruel, and unnecessary. Scientists are constantly monitored to ensure regulations are followed, but not all animals are protected under these regulations, and not all…

Sonic hedgehog signalling function during nervous system development 13354626 Katie O’Byrne words including references Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a glycoprotein that is secreted by and diffuses through the developing nervous system. It is a member of the hedgehog family of signaling molecules. The Sonic hedgehog signaling cascade is an integral trafficking system that influences the pattering and growth processes involved in the development of multicellular organisms. Shh is particularly important…

The nervous system makes it possible for animals to know and react to the environment around them. A change or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue is a stimulus. There can either be an internal or an external stimulus. Internal stimulus being something like hunger or pain, while external is more along the lines of a sound or an odor. The nervous system interprets stimuli and orders other organ systems to respond. The nervous system does so through using sensory…

Many of the tasks that multi-cellular organisms perform are truly inspiring, from embryogenesis to organogenesis and other developmental processes. Developmental biology covers some of the most interesting procedures of the formation and transformation of living beings. One question in particular that sparked my interest in the vast field is how certain species of animals are able to completely reform a limb after it has been entirely severed. Such a feat is completely and utterly astonishing.…

Physical description The chacma baboon is perhaps the longest species of monkey, with a male body length of 50–115 cm (20–45 in) and tail length of 45–84 cm (18–33 in).[5][6] It also one of the heaviest; the male weighs from 21 to 45 kg (46 to 99 lb) with an average of 31.8 kg (70 lb). Baboons are sexually dimorphic, and females are considerably smaller than males. The female chacma weighs from 12 to 25 kg (26 to 55 lb), with an average of 15.4 kg (34 lb).[7][8][9][10] It is similar in size to…

Bio-pesticides are ecofriendly pesticides that are obtained by naturally occuring substances(biochemicals), plants and microbes. All the natural products are not biopesticides. Some are chemical pesticides if they acts on the nervous system in the pest. Through the use of biopesticides in the wider way, health programme and agriculture can be beneficially effected. There are many disadvantages that associated with the use of chemicals pesticides like genetic variations in the plant of…

progress in the fossil record gives off an impression of being conflicted with the more common slow pace of evolutionary change. “…the Cambrian strata of rocks, vintage about 600 million years, are the oldest ones in which we find most of the major invertebrate groups. And we find many of them already in an advanced state of evolution, the very first time they appear. It is as though they were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless to say, this appearance of sudden…

Renowned American author H. P. Lovecraft once wrote, “Blue, green, grey, white, or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent”. Presently, the earth is estimated to be around 70% water, yet humanity has only explored less than 5% of the oceans. Imagine what we could learn from the unknowns of the most treacherous depths, and to what possibilities could we utilize all the information gathered? One anomaly quite intriguing is the diverse sea-life, which proceeds to prosper by…
