Life On Planet Luna

The myth explains that the Grandmother became the moon and presides mostly in the Night because her favourite twin, the left-handed twin, represents the night.

Ectothermic animals are animals whose body temperature is affected by their surroundings. This means that if the environment is cold the animal will be cold. If the environment is warm the animal will be warm. This is because the animal doesn’t have the capability of regulating its body systems to keep a constant body temperature. When an ectothermic animal is cold, its heart rate will lower. When the animal is warmer, the heart rate will raise – as long as the temperature isn’t sufficiently high to harm the animal. (Campbell, 2005)

The purpose of this lab is to analysis goldfish an ectothermic animal affect toward different temperature ranges. The reactions toward the temperatures are taken upon the term of homeostasis, which is regulation for organisms to maintain a steady state while adapting to the conditions that are favorable for survival (Encyclopedia Britannica). In order to achieve a successful homeostasis, many animals use different methods of thermoregulation, which helps maintain the internal temperature of animals. Many methods vary whether the organisms is an endotherm or ectoderm. An endotherm, which includes mammals and birds, is a warm-blooded animal, which maintains a constant body temperature not influenced by the environment (Britannica).

Including human, most mammals and birds are homeotherm, whose body temperature maintains relatively constant,

Animals differ in their abilities to regulate body temperature (thermoregulation). We sometimes use the terms "cold-blooded" or "warm-blooded." Most reptiles feel cold to the touch, while mammals and birds often feel warm.

Countercurrent heat exchanger in the paws (anatomical/physiological) - Along with many other animals including domestic dogs, there is a mechanism in the paws of arctic wolves that keeps them at a lower temperature than the body core so minimizing heat loss via this extremity that is in contact with the ground. Blood entering the paws is used to heat up blood that is leaving, this prevents the core from being cooled by heat loss at the extremities. Similar mechanisms are also found in the feet of birds such as ducks and penguins.

Despite not being human, the Creature has a sense of the beauty of the nature and human interaction from his birth. Even throughout the time where he can only see an obscure vision, the Creature finds the dim light from the moon attracting, as he describes that, “Soon a gentle light stole over the heavens and gave me a sensation of pleasure.” This quote captures the effect of nature on the Creature’s well-being; by appreciating the gift which descends from the heaven, he is able to temporarily reach a calm

Terminology- Luna- the name for the country on the moon Lunar- the citizens of the moon country. They have powers that influence others' thoughts and feelings.

Animal #1: The Wood Frog is cold blooded so its blood changes when the temperature changes. They are specially adapted for cold northern winters. Their bodies create a natural anti-freeze that allows them to survive while they are hibernating.

Since these ectothermic organisms are strict conformer they are able to maintain their homeostasis to a certain extend. Goldfishes are unable to generate their own body heat and so they depend on the outside environment. If the environment temperature is more that 76 degree Fahrenheit it causes stress or even death to the

The moon is a moths compass they always make sure that they're left side of there body is lined up with the outside of the moon. A moths is a very hard animals to study because of it many movements ( Wolchover, 2011). Once a month sees a bright light in its seeing radios they go to it and totally forget about the moon. Once the moth find a light that not the moon they are automatically drawn to it. The moths that gets attached to the light ends up finding itself flying around the light in a spiral

At the time of the Greek Gods, they had unusual pets. Athena, a Greek Goddess had an interesting creature. Her pet's name was hammerandos. Unlike, other animals in the God’s time, hammerandos was sweet. His personality consisted of being happy, lovable, generous, and he was also kind-hearted. Hammerandos had some weird features! The first unique features were from the hammerhead shark. They were a head and teeth. He used them to fight off enemies. Also from the hammerhead, he has eyes on either side of his head. That can make him look in two directions at once. He only has one feature from the panda bear; it is the ability to shed the warm fur. Once he sheds his fur he is able to keep people warm. The last features are from

One day, when she is taking a baby she feeds the child moonlight rather than starlight, filling the baby with powerful magic. Xan decides to take the child, Luna, in so she can raise the little

The best type of insulation for an animal needs to retain heat in the artic would be the combination of blubber and fur. With two layers of protection against the bitter cold, it would only make sense that this would be the most effective method over fur or blubber alone. Our lab results also coincided with this idea with the lowest amount of heat lost during the 20-minute duration was from the fur and blubber combination. At the end of the experiment was four degrees Celsius warmer than the fur alone, two degrees warmer then the blubber alone, and eight degrees warmer then the control.

Right alongside the fifth and largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, orbits a moon only about the same size as Earth’s moon. On this moon, is an icy surface that scientists are trying to uncover. Due to the presence of what they believe to be water, there is the possibility of life on this moon named Europa.
