The way it gets its prey is by using its long tongue. This tongue has a sticky spot on the tip just like frogs. It can use this tongue for like a grip. If it happens not to use its tongue, it can use its powerful jaw.

3a. Body more than five times as long as broad; front edge of dorsal fin far

The long-tailed weasel gets 8.4 units of energy a day from snakes in total but only get 0.1 of those units come from all four the striped snakes combined. The weasel gets 3.2 units from Garter snakes and 5.1 units from the Patch-nosed snakes. This is the same pattern that was seen in raptors. Both of the predators prefer the Garter snakes and Patch-nosed snakes to the striped snakes, further supporting the theory that the stripes on the Milk snake, Kingsnake, Shovel-nosed snake, and Coral snake make them less attractive to predators and therefore the predators eat much less of them then the Garter and Patch-nosed

3. State the name and structure of the functional group for each type of biologically

Cellular respiration: C6H12O6  +  6O2 →  6CO2  +  6 H2O  +  36 or 38 ATP

7)a) You would do the Benedict’s reagent test for simple sugars and the Lugol’s solution or Iodine test for polysaccharides and starch. To test the lipids you would use the Sudan iV test and Biurets reagent test for protein.

My critter is fish. The name of the fish is called the Goldfish Saurus meaning it is half dinosaur and half guppy. This type of fish is a hunting fish, it mainly eats and kills tiny animals. It lives in the deep seas of the Pacific Oceans. The Goldfish Saurus hibernate for half a year, it likes to sleep in little burrows of seaweed. The Goldfish Saurus eats small fish and baby octopi and squids that is smaller than itself. It kills its prey by using the scaly fins on top of his back to directly jab its opponent. For self defence the Goldfish Saurus The tail of the Goldfish Saurus is very strong and its function is to move forward in upward swimming strokes. This kind of fish moves pretty quickly and catches its prey instantly. The Goldfish

Astraspis probably would have gained food by sifting through the seafloor sand for detritus. If attacked, its immediate instinct would have been to swim away from the threat. If this was not possible, its final line of defense was its armored head

There are two main thoughts about it. First, some people see it as a sexual trait used to determine social rank and compete for females. Second, a researcher from Harvard University think it may be used as a sensor, which can detect ice formation and salt concentration and even the chemical associated with prey.

This terrifying combination would make most people think that the leopard skate glides along the ocean floor expertly camouflaged searching for unwitting prey to

Seahorses are an iconic, shy species that have become adapted to live in a variety of habitats. They have the ability to camouflage and a prehensile tail that can only be forcibly unlocked in the most extremes of weather. They have the ability to grow and reabsorb spiny appendages on their body, depending on the habitat they live in. The seahorse male is the only male animal in the world to have a true, full pregnancy. There are two species of Seahorse in the British Isles, the spiny seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) and the short snouted seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus); both widely distributed and both specialising in differing habitats due to subtle differences in the shape of the snout and body and their dietary needs, although they can also be occasionally found in the same habitat together (Garrick-Maidment 2004). Seahorses are typically found in pairs, once they have migrated back into shallow waters from their deeper, winter refuge. They are normally observed in shallower water of 2 meter (m) as the sea temperature warms up to 9 ºC or more (Garrick-Maidment, 2013), they then form

for small fish to take shelter underneath the snake. The small fish are attracted to

The ocean is home to many dangerous predatory creatures, all looking for food to survive. Many bioluminescent organisms use their abilities to defend against other organisms, particularly predators. The Swima bombiviridis, also known as the green bomber worm, releases a bioluminescent “bomb” from its body to distract predators, similar to the ink expelled by some squids and crustaceans, giving it enough time to get away safely. Some animals, like the deep - sea squid, Octopoteuthis deletron, go as far as detaching their glowing arms from their body. The arms often stick to the predator, distracting it and allowing the squid to escape unharmed.

The ocean is full of many unique creatures. From the water 's surface to the sea floor, there is a plethora of organisms we have yet to even discovered; however, even the organisms we do have data on are completely different from anything that we have previously seen on land. This gives cause to think they must have unique habits and patterns completely separate from all that we must know. (“Kelp” 1)
