Larva

Once transferred into a human the larvae of the parasite will then migrate to the lymphatic vessels and nodes where they will develop microfilariae-producing adults. Microfilariae are the larva of the parasite that are what causes the infection in humans or animals. These Microfilariae are what cause Lymphatic Filariasis which is more known as elephantiasis in humans(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The female parasite produce…

One particular parasite that has posed a rather large threat to bees is the Varroa Mite. These mites invade bee hives and feed on bee larva as well as transmit bee pathogens. Eventually these mites overwhelm the host colony and kill it (Pollinator Partnership, n.d.). But these infestations are obvious to professional beekeepers and so are thought not to be a leading cause of CCD (Oldroyd…

Ever since humans have started polluting causing the ozone layer to become thinner, allowing more UV rays from the sun to come. This correlates directly into stronger UV rays entering earth's atmosphere and harming living things all over. Some creatures that are the most susceptible to these UV rays are amphibians. There are three kinds of UV rays, UV-A, UV-B, UV-C. The kind that hurts the amphibians the most is UV-B because Most molecules do not absorb the higher UV-A wavelengths and most of…

Our industrialized lifestyle leading to climate change is something we can adapt to, but it’s causing a change that the Coral Reefs are not acclimated to live in.The changes and industrializations we bring affects the climate. This problem has been named and clarified as climate change. Since the industrial revolution our climate has changed drastically. Industrial waste is now a necessary problem that collides with our daily life. This lifestyle can be too much for the fragile ecosystems our…

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, located in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, killing 11 workers and injuring 17.The oil rig was operated by the British oil company ,British Petroleum, also known as BP. The results from the accident were devastating as approximately seventeen workers were injured and eleven died . The explosion caused oil pipes to burst and spill thousands of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and the incident has since turned into one of the worst environmental…

The simple but revolutionary organism Drosophila melanogaster has intricate properties that are studied to find its relations with human genes. Not only is D. melanogaster a model organism for its rapid growth, inexpensive culturing, and easy modifications, the Drosophila can provide more in-depth scientific analysis that can solve human diseases. The model organism D. melanogaster is studied to find ground-breaking research in neurology, sleep, cancer, and drug discovery. The multivariable…

“The Metamorphosis” is beset by a tone of deep despair. Gregor, a human in the background, an animal in reality, is the main protagonist of this novella. Gregor’s transformation underlines the clout of a person’s love to their family, and the fallibility of families love to a single being within their group. Gregor’s love for his family is undeniably dynamic. His readiness to support his family regardless of the pain is admirable. For example, his loathing of the Chief, yet his refusal to…

In the testing stream water there will be nitrates, phosphates, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, different temperatures, and pH levels.The most important factor to stream testing is the temperature of the water. If the temperature increases the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases. (EPA and Staff, 2012)Phosphates are present in the water through human and animal wastes. (Oram, no date) Phosphates are used in laundry soaps, cleaners, industrial effluents, and fertilizers. (Oram, no date) Nitrates…

Introduction Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is a leguminous crop which serves as an important food and cash crop which is cultivated in Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America. It is a short duration crop and requires low farm inputs. The world’s production of mungbean is more than 6 million hectares per annum and has the highest production in Asia. It is eaten as a vegetable and it is also processed into various products such as sweets, noodles and drinks. Mungbean is rich in easily…

1. DNA Structure and Function DNA is the type of organic compound that stores the genetic information in a living organism. DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides, which include a phosphate group, five carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Each individual strand in held together by strong covalent bonds (a bond formed as a result of the distribution of electrons between atoms). The two strands are then joined to each other by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases. There are four…
