Essay On Hamster's Closed Circulatory System

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

This lab is used to test the effect the respiration rates in plants in animals and how it affects the level of carbon dioxide present in the water. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are gases that are vital to all organisms, whether it is given or released through that organism. Both plants and animals use oxygen and carbon dioxide for cellular respiration, giving off carbon dioxide as a waste product. This lab is an example of cellular respiration in both plants and animals. The change in the carbon dioxide levels will be

This study was undertaken in order to compare the 〖CO〗_2 output of a cricket (Acheta domesticus) as a way to indirectly measure its respiration. This was done by observing the 〖CO〗_2 output of a cricket (μL/min⁡) over different levels of DNP, 2,4-Dinitrophenol. It was shown that the crickets subject to DNP (n=10) had a significantly higher 〖CO〗_2 production rate (p= 7.4e-10) than the control crickets(n=10), that were not exposed to DNP. This indicates that the presence of DNP induced a greater of respiration rate in crickets. There may be several factors that contributed to these results such as the cricket’s physical size and its health conditions. These factors vary between individuals and may affect the degree of respiration. A better insight

There is a small amount of carbon dioxide and more oxygen in the body because of gases exchange this is where oxygen form the lungs is transferred in to the blood and carried to the heart and when carbon dioxide is carried in to the lungs forms the blood and is exacted outwards by breathing. Mitochondria also need oxygen to create carbon dioxide for the body so the gas exchange can happen again. Outside the body there is a smaller amount of oxygen but it is still higher than CO2.

The Purpose of this experiment was to determine the importance of cellular respiration in the processes of Life. The objective of this experiment was to determine the rate of cellular respiration and how the presence of carbohydrates and pollutants will affect it. Our hypothesis was that an organism has larger rate of Cellular Respiration with the source of Carbohydrates as compared to the one that is without the Carbohydrates source and vice versa in

The respiratory system is a complex organ structure of the human body anatomy, and the primary purpose of this system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood vessels to carry the precious gaseous element to all parts of the body to accomplish cell respiration. The respiratory system completes this important function of breathing throughout inspiration. In the breathing process inhaling oxygen is essential for cells to metabolize nutrients and carry out some other tasks, but it must occur simultaneously with exhaling when the carbon dioxide is excreted, this exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood (McGowan, Jefferies & Turley, 2004).

I am going to show the similarities and differences of circulatory system of human and echinoderm. To begin with, I am going to write about the circulatory system of human. There are two types of circulation in circulatory system. First of all, pulmonary circulation is the part of the circulation, which carries oxygen depleted blood away from the heart, to lungs, and back to the heart. At first, in process of this circulation oxygen-depleted blood enters right atrium, and the blood pumped into the right ventricle. Then, the blood pumped to the pulmonary valve and goes into the pulmonary artery, and pulmonary artery separated into both right and left pulmonary arteries, which travel to each lung. At the lungs, the blood moves through capillary beds, which is the process that eliminating the carbon dioxide and adding oxygen to the blood. The oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs and goes back to the left atrium, and then blood flows to the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the blood pumps to the aorta, which is delivering oxygenated blood to the whole body. Secondly, the systemic circulation is that carries oxygenated blood from the heart and to other parts of the body. First, in the process of systemic circulation, oxygenated blood from the lungs moves to left atrium, and then the blood pumps to the left ventricle. Then blood pumps to the aorta, and waste and carbon dioxide

The hypothesis that black eye peas would have a higher respiration rate than lima beans because they are smaller was supported (Department of Biology, 2017) (Figure 1). Additionally, the hypothesis that the smaller mealworms would have a higher respiration rate than the larger meal worms because the small ones metabolize faster thus, requiring more oxygen was also supported (Department of Biology, 2017) (Figure 1). It was also expected that animals would have higher respiration rates than plants because plants will eventually use photosynthesis. This hypothesis was also supported.

I want you to imagine you are in a pet store. You turn the corner to the small animal section and you see something that catches your eye. This little creature is nibbling at his cage trying to get out, he reminds you of Houdini. This creature is black, plump and pocket sized. This animal is a hamster!

Introduction Insects are aerobic organism that utilizes cellular respiration to obtain energy. One key component of this process is oxygen, which is required to react with organix molecules to produce CO2, water and energy. In insects, their respiratory system consists of a complex branched network of tubes called the tracheal system. Insects take in oxygen in exchange for CO2 using the openings in the tracheal system located on their exoskeleton (www.amentsoc.org). These openings, which are called spiracles, pass from the main trunks throughout the body, located on each segment of the body.

They have a system of tubes which carries oxygen to carbon dioxide away from the cells. The respiratory system of the honey bee is made up of a cycle of tubes called the trachea. For example higher groups or species of animals oxygen has been taken throughout the body by the blood, however in bees including all insects, blood cannot be used to transport oxygen, instead the trachea are used.Introducing the system of breathing tubes or tracheal for gas exchange, is associated with the outside world called the spiracles through which air is worn in and removed

Several different theories about the domestication of hamsters have been tossed around; however, most of these theories are not supported by facts. Despite this, there is one man whom is credited for the domestication of the Syrian hamster--zoologist Israel Aharoni. In 1930, Aharoni partook on an expedition, with local Syrian Sheikh El-Beled, to find and study rare Syrian hamsters. During the expedition, Aharoni found a female Syrian hamster along with her 11 offspring, in a wheat field. Having found the rare species, Aharoni brought the hamsters with him to Jerusalem’s Hebrew University to be studied. The trip to the university proved difficult for the hamsters; the stress of traveling caused the mother hamster to attack her young, and she

A Mammal is a member of a large group of animals with warm blood, fur and the ability to produce milk. Gas exchange in mammals occurs by the inhalation of oxygen and the exhalation of carbon dioxide. As mammals inhale oxygen it passes through the trachea which is a long tube made out of c-shaped cartilage ring which widens and lengthens as the mammal inhales and goes back to its normal shape when the mammal exhales. Inhalation is when the diaphragm relaxes releasing the pressure inside the lungs which draws oxygen into the body through the mouth, down the trachea, bronchi (tubes connecting to the trachea) and the bronchioles (small connecting tubes between the bronchi and alveoli within the lungs). Exhalation is when it contracts and increases the pressure in the lungs pushing carbon

veins to the tissues of the body. These walls do not let out blood but

Hamsters chew everything that comes their way, so you need to buy a cage for them. One of the best things about hamster cages is that you can find them in various sizes and shapes. These are just some of the most important things to keep in mind when looking for large hamster cages.
