Urchin

starfish, snails, sea sponges, lobster, crab and jellyfish specimens were easy to find due to their similar habitats. All of these species are abundant around Virginia Key. There is a lot of marine diversity in the area, with a wide variety of fish and urchins readily seen. Man has primarily impacted the park in positive ways. While there is some development, the park is protected and preservation committees work to keep enviromental impact…

may think. Many believe that cloning is a futuristic process, but the history of cloning dates back to more than a hundred years ago. The first ever attempt to clone was made by Hans Adolf Eduard Driesch in 1885, when he attempted to duplicate a sea urchin. As hard as it is to believe, many different animals have already been cloned, including frogs, mice, sheep and cows. Plants are frequently cloned, and you can even clone a plant at your house by simply cutting it. The first successful attempt…

Objectives of Dingle oceanworld: Dingle oceanworld is a center of research and conservation. The facility was opened in 1996. The mission statement of Dingle oceanworld is ‘To develop Dingle Oceanworld as a National and International Centre of Excellence in the care, conservation and presentation of all forms of marine life for clean seas. We will conduct research which enhances the quality of marine life and educate our visitors to the best of our ability.’(Dingle Oceanworld, n.d.) Why…

elsewhere is absorbed by our oceans. Ocean acidification is caused by just that, the quarter of carbon dioxide that still remains from our atmosphere being taken in by the ocean’s surface layer. When carbon dioxide that hits the ocean’s surface layer combines with seawater, some of the carbon dioxide reacts with the water to from carbonic acid. Carbonic acid separates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions. Then, hydrogen ions combines with carbonate ions forming more bicarbonate ions which…

Mitosis is a process of cellular division. What happens though when Mitosis (process of cellular division) goes wrong? You can get a disease from Mitosis going wrong, some very bad ones too. A widely known disease caused by cellular division going wrong is Cancer and Tumors. (1)Disrupted passage through mitosis often leads to chromosome missegregation and the production of aneuploidy progeny. Aneuploidy has long been seen as a frequent characteristic of cancer cells. Also Aneuploidy has been…

Keywords: Aralia continetalis Kitagawa; Kaurenoic acid; Phase I; Pharmacokinetics; Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry Abbreviations: AIC, akaike information criteria; AUC0-∞, the area under the concentration–time curve from zero to infinity; CL/F, the total body clearance for oral administration; Cmax, the maximum plasma concentration; CV, coefficient of variation; HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography; ka, the absorption rate constant; IS, internal…

The Leonardo and the Aquarium are both great museums, but there are many differences, while there are also many things in common. Today I will be comparing and contrasting the Leonardo and the Aquarium. These two museums are full of many fun things to do, Let's start with The Leonardo. The Leonardo is a large museum up in Salt Lake City. The exterior of this building looks very interesting. It has large flat pillar like structures panning around the building, some with interesting designs and…

Ocean Acidification, a process where the pH of ocean decreases as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration increases in the water from the atmosphere. Since industrial revolution, the concentration of CO2 has dramatically increased in our atmosphere due to the burnings of fossil fuels, deforestations, and many more actions that humans take to make our lives luxurious. About 30% of CO2 from the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, making marine life’s survival uncertain. It has huge impact in the…

The book, The Once and Future King, shows how Arthur learns to become king and also his time as king. In the “Sword in the Stone” Merlyn utilizes Arthur’s experiences to teach him leadership. Merlyn accomplishes this task by transforming Arthur into various animals, such as a perch, merlin, ant, rook, wild goose, and badger. He teaches him through both positive and negative examples to further him in his education to become king. Arthur’s first transformation was into the form of a perch. As…

The next significant quest of Joe is in relation to his foster care. Foster care was a much more approved form of alternative “home” for orphans and impoverished children from the mid-nineteenth century. Compared to the “inhuman” institutionalizing of children in orphan asylums, a foster care provided children with more “homelike” surroundings with foster parents. Between 1854 and 1929, orphan trains delivered more than 200,000 children from the East to the Midwest or to the West. Alienated from…
