Bombardier Beetle Lab Report

The purpose of this experiment was to measure the metabolic rate of pill bugs and crickets. I indirectly measured the metabolic rate of each organism by calculating their respiration rates. In crickets, gas exchange is accomplished via a tracheal system [Contreras, Bradley, 2010]. Pill bugs have pleopods, gill-like respiratory organs [Gibbs, Smigel, 2008]. My hypothesis was that the crickets will have a faster respiration rate than the pill bugs. I used a respirometer to measure the oxygen consumption of pill bugs and crickets. After plotting the data, I used the slope to obtain the respiration rate. The respiration rate per gram of organism for the pill bugs was 0.0025 mL/min./g. The respiration rate per gram of organism

The purpose of this experiment is to determine which stimuli sowbugs prefer more, moist or dark. However, to confirm that sowbugs prefer dark and moist environments we had to create an experiment to prove this. We proved sowbugs prefer dark environments by using a lamp to create a light environment and cardboard over half the petri dish to create the dark environment; the sowbugs chose the dark side. Then we proved sowbugs preferred moist environments over dry ones by creating a wet environment on one side and a dry environment on the other side of the petri dish. After our final experiment, we were able to determine that sowbugs prefer the dark stimuli over moist stimuli.

Rhinoceros Beetle by Susan Hawthorne is a story about a young man with an obsession with animals and a penchant for treating women the same way. Rhinoceros Beetle undergoes a major tonal shift as the story goes from a whimsical tale of a destructive young boy, to a chilling story of a threatening and reserved man from a small town. As the story goes on, the foreshadowing becomes more obvious as you realize how suggestive and cacophonous the words are, which further develop the ominous tone. The way the author understates the boy’s actions in the beginning of the story take the reader down a path of realization as the implications of what he’d done later in his life becomes more apparent.The insipid yet obscure way that the short story is written ultimately leaves the audience in the dark with a few pieces of information that allows them to make an astute assumption of what happened to the women that were in the man’s home. Also, parallelism is used frequently throughout the story to portray the boy’s odd actions as being on the same level of his more mundane activities. All of these components successfully develop the ominous tone of the story, leaving the readers feeling that something awful or unpleasant was happening both in the boy’s past and in his now adult life.

Question: Worlds within texts often prompt us to question the worlds outside texts. Write an essay in response to this statement with reference to at least one short story you have studied.

Ionic compounds are soluble in water to a certain point depending on the compound. The level of solubility changes among different compounds. Some ionic compounds can completely dissolve in water and appear to be a homogeneous mixture. Although, some ionic compounds dissolve very little, and could be considered insoluble, since it does not dissolve fully. Depending on the compound, the level of solubility can be high or low. However, ionic compounds could dissolve to a certain degree. If the solution appears to be a heterogeneous mixture, many may assume through visual representation that it may be insoluble. As stated previously, the smallest amount of solubility should be considered. To confirm whether or not the substance is soluble, observe the efficiency when conducting electricity. Due to practical reasons, the slightest solubility could be considered insoluble by people.

The atom of an element has electrons that are found around the nucleus in regions known as orbitals. When energy is absorbed by the electrons of an atom they begin to jump to higher energy levels. When this happens the electrons are in an excited state. However when the electrons begin to release the energy and drop in energy levels they emit electromagnetic radiation. If the radiation that is emitted falls between 400 to 700 nanometers then the electrons emit photons which we can see as visible light.

1. What happens? - My assumption on how many water drops will fit on the penny before water drops off the side, is that around 30 drops of water, 20 drops of dish oil, and 20 drops of dish oil will fit on the penny with the eyedropper. 2.

The first thing he or she will need to do is find the bugs that will be needed to complete this experiment and put them in a petri dish.

In the movie Beetlejuice, the theme is that the afterlife is not really the end for us all; we live on a multiple level world between life and death, and need to respect the dead. The theme is idealistic and not applicable in real life to all people. Throughout the movie, Burton reveals his take on the living and life after death and the delicate interaction between the two. The character Otho, played by Glenn Shadix is key to Burton’s interpretation and scrutiny of the afterlife. Throughout the film Otho makes comments about the dead and even goes as far to steal The Handbook for the Recently Deceased. Otho comments on those who commit suicide and how they become civil servant s in the afterlife. Barbra and Adam Maitland, played by Geena

Our skin protects the body from various conditions such as, the skin helps to keep our body warm. However, as our body gets older, the skin becomes thinner and weaker making it hard for our body to retain heat. So it is possible that Vanessa’s grandmother is still feeling cold in a warm house because her skin is weaken making it harder for her body temperature to be warm.

God perfectly designed every animal to be fully capable to live their lives just how the need to. Each animal is way too complex to evolved into another form. To proof this, I will show you some amazing animals that God has created. The European Green Woodpecker's tongue comes from the back of the throat, travels from the back of its head, through its nostril, and out of its mouth. Clearly that is way too complex to be evolved, and evolutionist have no idea how because no other animal has that type of tongue. The Bombardier Beetle manufactures chemicals that makes a explosion to protect itself. There's no way that this bug could evolve, it needs all of its parts their all at once or you don't have the animal. God created this bug was created

My gargoyle has a big face but it looks kind of cute. It has no eyelids because the gargoyle is suppose to be awake at all times to watch for evil things. You can see that the ears are big which causes the face to look big too. The texture of the gargoyle looks smooth. As you can see, I try to make the nose look big but it looks like a decent size and the mouth is big with two small fangs.

In their lab report Dietary Restriction in Drosophila, Piper, Mair, and corresponding author Partridge, biologist at University College London, constructed an experiment around the life span of the Drosophila, commonly known as the fruit fly. The purpose of this experiment was to extend lifespan of the adult Drosophila by implementing Dietary Restriction. Lifespan had been extended to the fruit flies by restriction of the availability of live yeast or by dilution of the whole food medium. This study was conducted to investigate mechanisms of ageing and development within an organism. This report will give a light to anyone wishing to study the mechanisms and aging and development within any species to enhance their scientific knowledge.

Defining 'Boxer Beetle' novel is difficult. It has original plot with interesting characters and setting. It doesn't have a classic construct. In the book, story is divided into two narratives. One occuring in present day England and the other in before the World War II. Their intersection point is 'Anophthalmus' named insect species. A Nazi memorabilia collector finds a note from 1930s written by Adolf Hitler and our story begins here. It has unordinary characters like our protagonist, Seth Roach, who is short, young, invincible Jewish boxer, homosexual and nine-toed in 1930s. And it has a scientist who wants to test on Seth Roach to develop Hitler's pure race idea. Homosexuality, nazis, beetles, aristocracy and fascism are argued in the

The purpose of this experiment is to test how location affects whether or not the clay caterpillar models will get pecked by birds. Twenty-one clay caterpillars were made and they were made to be 5 cm ± 0.01cm long and 1 cm ± 0.01cm in diameter. Seven caterpillar models were placed in each of the three locations. The three locations are my backyard, the park, and my community garden. As a control variable, all the caterpillars were placed 300 cm ± 50 cm above the ground. An equal amount of caterpillars were glued, to prevent them falling off, in similar areas such as trees, bushes, and fences. This experiment went on for three weeks. Each week is considered one trial. Each caterpillar that was pecked or not was recorded and the data was placed
