How does the number of maggots in the mass affect the temperature of maggot mass and development of maggots in the mass?

The conditions needed for the growth of micro-organisms are: Micro - organisms need food to survive. They like high protein food to survive, eg. Poultry & fish. Most micro - organisms need warmth & grow best at 20-40c. They need moisture to multiply. They need air to multiply, though some can without. A single Micro-organism becomes two every twenty minutes.

Freeman (2008) furthers Eckert et al’s argument by stating that the actin filaments of the muscle cell in organisms are able to intake ATP (adenosine triphosphate) faster and will move the organism faster when higher temperatures are imposed. This is because of an increase in enzyme reaction rates (Freeman 2008). These arguments can be applied to our experiment to help explain the trends observed. It can be argued that as the Gammarus setosus experiences the cold treatments, the organ of Bellonci senses the cold temperature, which in turn signals the organism to preserve its energy to protect itself; therefore, the organism will swim slower. In addition, the enzymes in the muscle cells of the organism, when experiencing the cold treatments, will have decreased ability to carry out enzymatic reactions, therefore inhibiting the uptake of ATP, which will cause the organism to swim slowly. Conversely, as the organisms are put into the heated treatments, the organ of Bellonci senses the heat, and allows the organism to swim faster, since it does not have allocate as much of its energy towards survival. Furthermore, the enzymes in the cells will be able to catalyze reactions more quickly, therefore allowing the organism to swim faster. However, when the temperature of the surroundings is too high, the enzymes will denature, therefore, reducing the activity rate of

direct calorimetry. Furthermore, the amount of oxygen in the chamber reveals the amount of cellular respiration of the organism. While also, test the effects of decreasing oxygen, and later increasing the heat on the metabolic rate of goldfish. I hypothesize that an increase in temperature will increase their metabolic rate

Ectotherms like Gryllus (Niehaus 2012), commonly known as crickets, instead depend on external sources for their body heat. Ectotherms must use the environmental energy and behavioral adaptations to shift their body temperature. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a measure of the rate at which an organism releases heat after breaking down food molecules. Crickets possess the ability to respond to thermal change by

This will help improve the understanding of pillbugs’ behavior as well as provide the students performing the experiment with more experience with lab work, and a better understanding of the scientific method.

this means that is the optimal temperature, but in bacterial occur in less time than in fungal

The way this was tested was by placing the African dung beetles in two different environments. One environment tested how a

Thermoregulation is a process by which the body temperature is controlled and maintained within a range that enables the organism to function efficiently when variations occur in the temperature of the surrounding environment. This is important to ensure that the blood flowing through vital organs like the brain and the heart are kept at an ideal and constant temperature (Homeostasis, n.d.). In this lab, mealworms are used. Although referred to as a “mealworm”, it is not a worm but instead the larvae of the darkling beetle species called Tenebrio molitor (Gomez, n.d.; Tenebrio molitor, n.d.). Usually, the heat generated from cellular metabolism determines body temperature, but mealworms are ectotherms, which are organisms that depend mostly

From this test, I found that both of my organisms Ca. and Cb. cannot grow at 5°C or 60°C. From the temperature plates I also inferred that both organism can grow at 27°C and 37°C. Although for specimen Cb. I have determine that its optimum growth temperature is around 37°C. As for specimen Ca. it must have an optimum growth temperature ranging between 27°C and 37°C but closer to 37°C. I have determined this range due to observing possible spores while looking at a gram stain

1.As temperature kept increasing the amount fermentation also increased , when the temperature was so high. The organism was put under so much stressed that it died.

Microorganisms can heat up quickly but cannot retain heat well compared with larger organisms. This is because they have large surface area to volume ratio, so heat escapes easily.

Results from the experiment showed mass specific metabolic rate to increased as temperature decreased. An increased in metabolic rate is a result of an increased in respiration rate required from the mice to maintain internal body temperature at 37℃. Therefore, the hypothesis was supported because experimental data revealed respiration rate to increased as environmental temperature decreased. Experimental results can be supported by several published primary literatures that showed how environmental temperature affected an organism’s metabolic rate.

To investigate how the change of the temperature on the surface of a glass jar, in conditions of 18°C(±0.5),20°C, 22°C, 24°C, 26°C, 28°C , 30°C respectively, affects the population growth of Drosophila melanogaster for 17 days.

Enzymes are biological catalysts naturally produced by living organisms which increase the rate of a specific biochemical reaction without being used up in the process. They are proteins of differing and complex three dimensional structures, constructed by sequenced amino acids which are pre-determined by the genes of their cells. As most enzymes are globular in nature, many are water-soluble with a spherical shape, unlike fibrous proteins which have different properties. All living organisms synthesise enzymes as they are an essential physiological component of life, responsible for a wide range of diverse functions; such as aiding in digestion, DNA replication, and glycolysis which leads to the formation of

Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C, 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals, a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes, 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11.2°C.
