Plankton

I write to you today as an American citizen who is concerned with the future of this nation and the world. I am not a Democrat, a tree-hugger, or a person belonging to any other group or stereotype you may expect me to belong to. I am a Republican and a steadfast Republican at that. I belong to the party of “shut up and drill.” With that being said, the action by both parties to save planet Earth is not nearly great enough. Millennials, my generation, are being handed issues that are hundreds of…

negatively affect a child’s physical safety if they mocked the behavior of Spongebob and Patrick. Other characters, such as Plankton and Squidward, show negative behaviors. Plankton, who is trying to steal the Krabby Patty Formula, also has a bad attitude and is making up mischievous plans, and Squidward is always annoyed and negative towards Spongebob and Patrick. While Plankton did not appear in this episode, I counted 4 times that Squidward used negative language towards Spongebob and…

Ocean Pollution Around 1.4 million pounds of trash enters the ocean. Thats a lot of pollution. What is water pollution exactly? Water pollution is the release of substances, such as chemicals, energy, radioactivity or heat into a body of water. According to these articles, people are starting to neglect and not care about the ocean. Especially the younger generations. Marine pollution is affecting everything, including people, animals and marine life. Marine pollution has become an incredibly…

Under the Sea Turtle Sea turtles symbolize the humility of mankind because their home has become our home in which both humans and turtles, with the help of the Marine Animal Rescue Team become one. There are six to seven species of sea turtles that can be found from all over the ocean: leatherbacks, loggerheads, green turtles, olive ridleys, kemp’s ridleys, hawksbills and flatbacks. They are either threatened or endangered at human hands, sadly, they are already endangered because of the…

species are the symptom, it does not mean that we should not stop these plants and animals. NWF has a lot of reasons for stopping the carp, but one that I chose is this, “Asian carp consume up to 20% of their bodyweight per day in plankton and can grow to over 100 pounds. Plankton are small floating organisms that form the foundation of the aquatic food chain and are vital to native fish,” meaning with these villains, the native fish will not…

recipe to this sandwich has been long sought after from many customers, including Mr. Krab’s archnemesis, Sheldon J. Plankton; through many inept attempts to try and get 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…

acidic. This causes calcium in oceans to decrease which is needed by shellfish, coral, and certain plankton to build skeletons and shells. This does not only put such organisms at risk but entire ecosystems. If coral reefs are lost than fish that rely on such reefs might suffer as well, other creatures that we rely on as a source of food will suffer if their source of food is shellfish or plankton. This would cause mass starvation around the world and people will die, especially coastal…

surprisingly, one of the few lakes in Africa that are rising.. This lake is a significant habitat for flamingos and other rare tropical birds. The shallowness of Lake Nakuru creates an ideal environment for plankton and other organisms that form the food supply for the flamingos. Unfortunately, the planktons in question do not thrive in deep waters. As such the increased water lever have a negative impact on bird and perhaps other wildlife habitat. The construction of the Aswan Dam created Lake…

The reading states that zebra mussel has long been spreading out from its original habitats and has now reached parts of North America. therefore it poses a serious threat to freshwater fish populations in all North America and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that zebra mussel is not likely to the serious threat to the freshwater fish population and refutes each of the author's reasons. First, the article claims that it is possible that zebra mussel…
