The Comb Jelly Sea Walnut, Rippenqualle (German) Venus' girdle, warty comb jelly, these are just some of the name for the Comb Jelly. This animal is “any member of a common genus (Mnemiopsis) of gelatinous, planktonic marine invertebrates of the order Lobata (class Tentaculata, phylum Ctenophora).” (Encyclopædia Britannica) Because of its pronounced abundance in estuaries in the heavily populated parts of the US and its precarious population growth after the 1980s, the Mnemiopsis Leidyi or Comb Jelly, is the most studied genus in the world. The Comb Jellies live a completely planktonic existence. They are considered circumglobal, oceanic distribution, meaning that they occur worldwide throughout the open ocean, but are most common in
Other than the ability to live for ever it’s really not that special. Having up to 90 tentacles only 4.5mm in width it’s smaller than your fingernail. It was discovered in the Mediterranean Sea, but has been in areas as far away as japan. It’s mostly transparent, except for it’s red stomach. Which they fill with small mollusks, fish eggs and planton. Which they catch like any other jellyfish, with a stinging cell.
Coral reefs are the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet. There are more than 25,000 known species of organisms and countless others that have yet to be identified (Helvarg, 2000). Reefs thrive on the shallow edge of tropical seas, most often on the eastern edge of continents along warm water currents that brush the coasts. Reefs cannot live in cold waters and are limited by ocean depth and available sunlight. Coral is the foundation of the reef community, providing a three-dimensional structure where thousands of species of vertebrates and invertebrates live and feed. Some species of coral are hard, while others soft. Some are branched, yet others are compact and rounded. Coral is made up of large
The Irukandji is another potent jellyfish that has caused several fatalities. Mostly common to Northern Australia in deeper waters, they have been known to periodically come into shallow waters by ocean currents. It is one of the smallest of the Cnidarians and can really pack a punch for its size. It is only one inch in length and has four tentacles that are also about one inch in length. They are virtually impossible to spot because of their size and
Type of habitat: It inhabits on rocky shores, and is always found in the low intertidal zone.
If we are in deep waters we stay near the surface. We live in warm tropical waters in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. We mostly eat sponges, anemones, squid, shrimp, and of course, jellyfish!
Monster Jam is a action packed adventure as you buckle in and get ready for a rough ride with sidewalls and crazy backflips.
In Order to analyse the Distribution of C.brunneas and L.scobina, Year twelve Biology classes had to go down to the “ Sirens’ Rock” on the south coast of wellington. The Habitat is mainly rock but there are rock pools from when the high tide went down the water couldn’t get out. Chamapsipho brunnea or Brown Barnacle are a type of barnacle found in the mid-high tides parts of rocky shores. Brown Barnacle are also known as filter feeders so they feed off of algae and plankton. Brown Barnacle are not found in the low tide zones for this reason their shells can close off meaning that they can survive out of water longer by keeping water locked in their shells. Lepsiella Scobina or oyster borer are a predatory sea snail species. they feed off of barnacle and other prey they are found in the mid-high tide zones of rocky shores and not low tide. Oyster borer are frequently hidding in crevices to hide from predators. Oyster borer are not found in high tide but mid-low tides as they can not close their shells off completely
As we found our seats the first round of trucks had already finished. I was not that mad about missing the first round anyway. They were not the more popular trucks that everyone came to watch. Second round of racing was about to commence. I was a big fan of Monster Jam as a kid, so I knew a lot of the trucks’ names. Maximum Destruction came powering through the tunnel like he did not have control of the truck. The stadium starts playing a song. All I hear is “Who let the dogs out!?” As I thought, Monster Mutt came out of the tunnel and lost one of his left ear. The crowd started to whistle and cheer, because you come to Monster Jam to see trucks crash. The race has one main jump, a turnaround, another jump, then about three cars to drive over.
with is a crustacean called the Daphnia. Later in this report I will attempt to
The Compass Jellyfish is also called Chrysaora hysoscella which actually isn’t a fish, it is a type of plankton. It is just under 100% water, this jellyfish does not have a heart, brain, bones, or blood. Its kingdom is animalia, phylum is cnidaria, class is scyphozoa, order is semaeostomeae, family is pelagiidae, and its genius is chrysaora. The compass jellyfish lives in cold or temperate waters. This Jellyfish lives in the coastal waters of the Mediterranean ocean, the northeast Atlantic ocean, and coastal regions of South Africa. Also can be found near the United Kingdom and Turkey waters, but mostly found in the Irish, Celtic, and North seas. They range between being 2m to 30m underwater but it would be uncommon for them to go deeper than that. Adults can be seen just under the surface of the water but when the current picks up, they dive deeper and can be find near the seabed. On the UK coast you can mostly see them between the months of July through October.
The Canopic Jars from Albany Institute of History and Art come from the Dynasty 26 of Late Period Ancient Egypt. In this time period, the jars were still used to store the viscera during mummification for dead men with wish of revival after deaths.
Canopic Jars are one of the most mesmerizing pieces of lifestyle of Ancient Egypt. According to the Webster’s dictionary, a canopic jar is a vessel in which the ancient Egyptians preserved the viscera, the organs, of a departed person usually for the burial with the mummy. The jar conserves the organs for long periods of time. Canopic jars are also very sacred in ancient Egypt. On top of the jars, the Ancient Egyptians built god heads. These jars didn’t just hold organs, they held deities.
Ocean sponges are one of the world’s simplest multi-cellular living organisms. Sponges grow in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Out of the over five thousand species of sponges less than twelve are actually harvested for commercial use. Most natural sponges live in the oceans and seas, but there are a few rare varieties of species that live in fresh water locations.
The female sex in honeybees (Apis spp.) comprises a reproductive queen and a sterile worker caste. Nurse bees feed all larvae progressively with a caste-specific food jelly until the prepupal stage. Only those larvae that are exclusively fed a large amount of royal jelly (RJ) develop into queens [1]. RJ is a composite secretion of two specialized head glands: the mandibular glands, which produce mainly fatty acids [2], and the hypopharyngeal glands, which contribute proteins, primarily belonging to the major royal jelly protein (MRJP) family [3]. Past research on RJ has focused on its nutritional function and overlooked its central role with regard to the orientation of the larva in the royal brood cell. Whereas workers are reared in the regular
Coral reefs are one of the oldest types of living systems on earth, and certainly one of the most spectacular (Goreau, 1987). They are massive underwater structures formed by the limestone skeletons of tiny invertebrate animals. Reefs house a greater diversity of body forms, chemistry, and animal phyla (thirty-two compared to the eight that inhabit the most biodiversity ecosystems on land). Phyla comprise the second largest category of living things, after kingdoms.
