From surfing, swimming, fishing, scuba diving, and going on boat rides on the beach most of us don’t really know what’s going on in our oceans. In reality besides the waste that goes in there’s actually acidification in our waters. Acidification is when the ocean uptakes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, this also means the pH levels are lowering. The ocean acidification is negatively taking over our environment and there are barely any benefits that come with it. This essay will provide…

Plastic bags should be banned becaues they contribute to the pollution in our world. Plastic bags are lightweight, so they can travel long distances by water or wind. Because they are lightweight they can easily blow out of trashes and they can possibly clog waterways, damage land (10 reasons why plastic bags should be banned, 2017,October 26). Also plastic bags can contribute and make ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes (which countries have banned plastic bags?, 2003-2018). They also litter…

Middle school is like a big, deep, blue ocean with a clown fish, a sunfish, a box jellyfish, a stone fish, a lionfish, a octopus, a turtle, a seahorse, a squid, a eel, a stingray, a sea cucumber , and a dolphin. The clownfish is Jacob because he is the class clown. The sunfish is Paige because sometimes if someone gets to close to her, she will bit. The box jellyfish is Kaleb because he is such a pain in the butt that he leaves scars wherever he goes. The stonefish is Cameron because he…

The first thing I felt when I walked out of the cold air conditioning house was the scorching warmth of Florida. Even during the afternoon its scorching. But, I'm a good granddaughter and I suffered through it to take family pictures. It was the first day in Florida and we needed to take the family photos at the beach. Unlike all the other families there taking pictures there we were not matching. We did have my mom who was the queen of taking photos. By the third or fourth photo my mom…

beginning of the observation, Mrs. Neth’s second grade class gathered at the carpet to talk about what the students read on the previous day. The students were required to read a two page passage and a story out of their textbook; both were about jellyfish. Mrs. Neth began a picture walk while the students were still sitting at the carpet. Mrs. Neth slowly flipped through the pictures from the textbook to try to jog memories about the text. She wanted the class to begin a group discussion.…

break down arabinose. When Ara A, Ara B, and Ara D cluster together they form the arabinose operon. The gene that replaces the arabinose operon is the pGLO gene. GFP is an abbreviation for Green Fluorescent Protein and the protein is found in the jellyfish, Aequorea victoria. GFP is a protein composed of 238 amino acid residues that exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to blue ultraviolet…

century, there have been large outtake of fish population along the coast of Namibia. Because of continuous decrease in population of fish, their competitive specie, jellyfish has been blooming in population. Jellyfish are harmful to other marine organisms other than fish. Now, Namibian marine ecosystem is overpopulated with jellyfish and faces a general decrease in diversity in the ecosystem due to one dominant specie. The reduction in diversity weakened the complexity of the food chain of the…

Comb Jellies are a type of jellyfish that have eight “comb rows” of cilia that are fused together and arranged along their sides. In Figure 1, the fused cilia can be seen easily along the length of the red lines. The cilia are used to propel the animal through the water. Some of them move through the water by doing a flapping motion with their lobes or undulations of the body. They usually have two tentacles, but lack stinging cells. To capture their prey by using sticky cells, called…
