Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Subfamily: Hominidae Genus: Australopithecus Species: A. afarensis II. Physical Characteristics The Australopithecus afarensis without a doubt had both ape and human features. Just looking at the face of this animal you can see a…

Sydney Meyers Relative effectiveness of penicillin, neomycin and erythromycin on the inhibition of growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae Introduction: An approximate 1.1 million annual deaths worldwide are attributed to the to bacteria known as Streptococcus pneumoniae. Today, S. pneumoniae is among the most significant causes of bacterial disease in humans and remains to be one of the top 10 causes of death in the U.S (Hoskins, 2001). This pathogenic bacteria causes a variety of…

African Chimp (P. t. verus), the Nigeria-Cameroon Chimp (P. t. ellioti), the Central Chimp (P. t. troglodytes), and the Eastern Chimp (P. t. schweinfurthii). Here is the scientific classification of the Common Chimpanzee: the kingdom is Animalia, the Phylum Chordata, the Class Mammalia, the order Primates, the Suborder Haplorhini, the Family Hominidae, the Tribe Hominidae, the Genus Pan, thus the species P. troglodytes. While the West African Chimp became the first subspecies nearly five…

Every year one in six Americans get food poisoning . Food poisoning occurs due to the contamination of food through microorganisms. Botulism is a form of food poisoning caused by the microorganism Clostridium botulinum. Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive bacterium, bacillus in shape, and is an obligate anaerobe.1 The bacterium can produce endospores, making it resistant to microbial control methods. Clostridium botulinum survives in nonliving reservoirs1 . It is commonly found in soil and…

The movement and distribution of marine organisms has always been a main focal point of marine studies. With organisms such as Ctenophora, what role does temperature and rainfall play in their movements? To get a better understanding of how population densities change with weather, samples were taken during different periods of precipitation and temperature; rain the day before, clear the day before, warm temperatures, and cool temperatures. In the end, there were minor differences between the…

Revolution against the basic evolutionary developmental biology arises with the astounding repair capacity of the planarian robust self assembly system and its automatic repair ability of its body structures. With its complex body plan and nervous system, a planaria possess the ability to flawlessly regenerate any part of their body after a traumatic injury or loss. It is capable of recovering its original structure and function of any damaged or obliterated body part even after being deprived…

Paragraph 1: Naming For the Flowering Dogwood, the Latin name is “Cornus florida”. “Cornus” derives from the word “cornu”, which today translates into a “horn”. Cornus refers to the hard wood the tree has. While “florida” stems from the Latin word “flos”, which is understood as “flower” or “flowery”. The common name for Cornus florida is Flowering Dogwood. “Flowering” comes from showy spring flowers the tree displays, while “dogwood” was most likely named after it was believed that early…

Measurable Outcomes 1. Describe and demonstrate knowledge of modern evolutionary synthesis, natural selection, population genetics, micro and macroevolution, and speciation. I learned about the speciation of animals in Module 3 and in Module 4 I learned about modern evolutionary synthesis, natural selection, population genetics, and mirco and macroevolution. I was able to learn all this information due to the chapter 46 and chapter 47 notes, the online textbook, and the PowerPoint notes. This…

Memory is an essential parts to all our lives. Without a memory of the past, we could not engage in the present or think to the future. We would not be able to remember what we did the previous day, what we have done today or what we plan on doing tomorrow. Without memory, we could not learn anything.Memory is involved in processing extensive amounts of information that we are exposed to on a daily basis (McLeod). Memory also gives us the capability to participate and determine settings from…

that may facilitate greater understanding of these organisms and their physiology can provide valuable information for these areas of study. Tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are small animals, about 0.5 mm in length of the phylum Tardigradia.…
