Mumbai University Zoology Syllabus

Within these categories of B, B*, L, and N there are smaller subcategories that separate the animals into classes. The subcategories are Class I, Class II, and Class III but the types of animals in each class

In the movies we watched in class, we witnessed the issues of diversity loss in the case of amphibians and bee populations in North America. The issue with the bee population in the film “Silence of the Bees” is centered on colony collapse disorder, the possible reasons as to why it is happening, and how bee enthusiasts are trying to combat the issue. The two amphibian films I watched included the documentary in class and the lecture entitled “The Evolution and Diversity of Amphibians” which explains why so many amphibians are becoming extinct, the possible reasons for this, and ways they are trying to reduce the loss of these creatures. This essay will expand on the issues presented.

0.0375 mg/ml Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Solution (amylase powder in 0.9% NaCl ), Iodine Solution; each solution were pipetted into each of the 5 test tubes with 5 ml of 1% starch. Each tube contained a 1% starch solution with a different pH. All tubes were at room temperature. Room temperature was 22C. 0.2 ml of porcine pancreatic amylase solution was then pipetted into each tube. A timer was started and every 3minutes the starch / amylase mixture were pipetted from each tube and pipetted into the spot plate for every sample tube, then the iodine solution were added to a spot plate cell for each sample. Iodine reacts with starch to change from yellow to deep blue /black in the presence of starch. A lightening of the blue/ black to a brown color will occur as less starch is present. Results were reported as (+) for presence of starch in the sample or (–) for the absence of starch. After every three minute increment had passed, these same

Over the last several years, evolution has been playing an increasingly important role in determining how various species are evolving. This is because ecology will have an impact on how quickly a particular organism is able to adapt (with: the unique challenges for a particular environment). To determine the effect that this is having requires carefully examining different species over the course of many years. This will be accomplished by comparing these changes on Darwin and Wallace Islands. Once this occurs, is when specific insights will be provided that are highlighting the underlying challenges affecting the development of organisms. This is the point that these transformations will be evident among the various life forms. (Fasolo, 2011, pp. 53 68)

Read "Lab 3: Biodiversity." This lab will allow you to investigate how various organisms alter their environments. Additionally, it will allow you to assess the health of ecosystems based upon their biodiversity. Then, you will utilize this information and your eScience lab kit to complete Demonstration 1 and Experiment 1 on the Week Three Lab Reporting Form. Make sure to complete all of the following items before submission:

Introduction: Almost every place on Earth, from the surface of your skin to the bottom of the ocean, is teeming with living things. To keep track of the vast diversity of life, biologists historically named and classified organisms according to their appearance. The system of categorizing organisms is

According to The Census of Marine Life, there could be as many as 8.7 million species on this planet. Assuming just 1% of these species go extinct each year, we estimate that around 9 species disappear each hour. With background extinction levels reaching up to 1000x higher than the natural rate, this means to me Zoology is more critical than ever if we wish to preserve and protect life. Growing up obsessed with any animal documentary I could find, my love for animals has never been doubted by friends or family. The relationships between species, their environments, and their physiology and behaviour have always been aspects that fascinate me and capture my imagination.

On May 8th the grades Biology students went on an excursion to the rocky shore Pt. Cartwright. Rocky shores are where the land meets the sea. On the Rocky shore there are different zones that are based on tidal level, this means the rocky shore is a quickly changing environment and due to this unique condition it gives a large biodiversity. Biodiversity is the term given to the variety of life on Earth. It is the variety within and between all species of plants, animals and microorganisms and the ecosystems within which they live and interact (Wwf.org.au).

Course is mainly about the molecular and cell biology. To be specific, this course would focus on the life inside a cell and method of every part of life operating in people’s body. Of course, some basic theories and definitions would be involved in this course. In addition, the latest progress in this field would still be included in this course. And also, relevant laboratory techniques would be a necessary part so as to reinforce the basic contents introduced in the course. The objective of this course is to

This experiment is being done to show Mendel’s rule of dominance that says certain alleles are dominant and others are recessive. To show this, we are using tobacco seeds, a monohybrid cross comparing only one trait color.

The trips we have taken over the past two weeks have opened my eyes to the teacher’s perspective and their reason for taking students on such trips. The trip to the aquarium could easily be incorporated into science class, specifically biology, when studying Earth’s varying biomes. The 6th grade standard, “GLE 0607.2.4 Analyze the environments and the interdependence among organisms found in the world’s major biomes”(tn.gov). As students go around viewing these different habitats, the teacher can push them to consider why their habitat looks like it does and why does each animal have the certain features that it has. These two questions incorporate the lesson of animal/environmental interdependence in an engaging setting, that being the aquarium.

Species (populations of interbreeding organisms) change over time and space. The representatives of species living today differ from those that lived in the recent past, and populations in different geographic regions today differ slightly in form or behaviour

This lab report compares Amphibia, Reptilia, and Mammalia in order to outline the similarities and differences between the many vertebrate classes. By comparing and contrasting theses classes, a further understanding and knowledge of Vertebrates can be gained.
