Male Bean Beetle (Callosobruchus maculatus) Reproductive Success Abstract: Callosobruchus maculatus is a bean beetle that lays eggs on the surface of beans, the larvae hatch out of the eggs and immediately burrow into the bean to devour all its nutrients and mature into an adult. The study of the male’s reproductive success when given access to water versus no access could lead scientists down a path of slowing the growth of the bean beetle population. The study was performed in lab 201 September 16th, groups separated a dish of watered males with un-watered females and a group of un-watered males and females, the control, to test if the availability of water in the adult phase would affect the male’s success of offspring. The class collected no data that suggested water availability made a significant difference in the success of the male’s reproduction; the average number of eggs counted in the watered dishes were 56.8 and in the dry dishes it was 31. The average of hatchlings…

Not only the temperature but the cell type and size, and also how much nutrients is available. The organism that we studied was germinating mung bean seeds. We used a system called respirometer which includes a test tube that is to be filled with the seeds until approximately 3 cm before the top. Other parts that were included was the syringe, and a 1ml pipette, with both the syringe and the pipette threaded through a cork cap that is placed onto the test tube. We are trying to measure the…

Rate of Respiration from Refrigerated, Sprouted Mung Beans; Room Temperature Sprouted Mung Beans, and Moss at Room Temperature, and Yeast? Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the rates of respiration within refrigerated and non-refrigerated Mung beans. Cellular respiration is the oxidation of glucose molecules (C6H12O6) to produce ATP, CO2, and H2O. The generalized/condensed version of this formula is: C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (Energy). The specimen’s speed at which…

maculatus larvae feed and develop exclusively on the seeds of legumes, the beetles are commonly referred to as "bean beetles." Adult Callosobruchus maculatus have a very short lifespan of 6 to 14 days (Fox et al. 2006). During this short lifespan, adults do not eat or drink; instead, they spend all their time mating and laying eggs. Following mating, adult female Callosobruchus maculatus oviposit individual fertilized oval-shaped eggs on legumes, such as mung beans (Vigna radiata) (Torres…

Method Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were provided by the instructor for the experiment at Mount Royal University. There were four or more bean plants in each of the four pots. The first task was to choose the best three plants in each pot based on whether they had two big healthy leaves and so the three plants looked relatively similar. The excess plants were cut out so that each of the four pots contained three plants, making a total of twelve plants. Each of the four represented a…

majority of their calories don’t come from carbohydrates. Legumes have many subcategories: beans, peas, lentils and an ‘other’ category. You’re most likely familiar with many beans. Kidney beans, black beans, navy beans, and broad beans are just a few examples of beans that are quality…

inspired someone to incorporate a new recipe into their reservoir of recipes. I have three examples of such instances. The first one was when I made a white bean hummus. Two women who participated were amazed at the recipe 's simplicity. No equipment like a food processor was needed. The recipe merely called for white beans (canned), some chives, lemon juice, and olive oil. They were combined in a bowl and then mashed. Then it was served with some delicious and refreshing raw vegetables. I had a…

For health, religious, or ethical reasons an increasing number of people are becoming vegetarians. However, even without practicing this diet, according to studies concerning this issue, many health-conscious customers prefer to order vegetarian dishes in a restaurant. Consumers expectations are changing; they are becoming more curious about novelties. They want to experience something new; vegetarianism becomes a form of experiential marketing. After studying consumers’ opinion, I looked at the…

“The Beans Eaters” by Gwendolyn Brooks express the routine life of the poor couple satisfy life. The poem is about an old couple who is sitting at the table and starts eating dinner. Suddenly they start to look around them and start thinking about their life. An analysis of the routine and their satisfy life will help us understand the poem. The routine “The Bean Eaters” express the idea that when we are older, we are restricted to follow a typical routine. For example “and remembering,…

different stages of the life cycle have on cellular respiration. The hypothesis was that the germinated kidney beans will consume more O2 than their respective ungerminated counterparts. The ungerminated kidney beans will have little to no amount of O2 consumption. The reason that the germinated kidney beans will consume more is that they are in a more active cycle of its lifespan. This hypothesis is plausible. For the second day experiment, the factor being tested was cellular respiration…
