Reed Frog Research Paper

It may have been your favorite video game back in the 1980's, but this iconic video game inspired a unique nickname for the South American horned frog, Argentine horned frog or Ornate Horned Frog. While its real names may be a mouthful, the name Pacman Frog, is certainly easier to remember and actually helps to describe the frog. The Pacman Frog has an unusually large mouth and abdomen which make it look similar to the Pac-Man character in this popular video game.

In the past we have tried to contain these Cane Toads by setting up traps in the dry-seson however many blue tongue lizard got caught in them. They also tried to set up fences around areas that only have 1 or 2 freshwater lakes in them so that the babies cannot walk away from the area. This worked but we cannot simply fence up all the water sources in the top half of Australia. But I think we should create a poison on the cane toads. Because the other thing that eats Cane Toads is Cane Toads; therefore if we create a poisson on them we are able to get rid of many toads. The first step in creating this plan would be to make the poission. Secondly we would give the poison in a syringe to every homeowner in Northern Queensland so that they can

While in the Frog’s classroom, during my observations, I noticed that sharing toys among the children has been a popular conflict. During one incident, four kids were playing with magnets and Noah tried joining in but there were too many children at the table. Noah tried to grab some magnets that were already being used by another child. Noah then became angry and expressed his anger by head butting the child who was using the magnets. One of the teachers then began to notice what was going on. The teacher then told Noah that head butting was not okay and that he needs to wait his turn or go find a different toy to play with. Noah then walked away with a strong attitude. The teacher asked if he needed to take a break and sit down on his own.

The Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog evolved from its most common ancestor, the Green Frog. The Green frog is a species of frog native to the eastern half of the United States and Canada. Both of these frog species belong to the Animalia Kingdom. The Yellow tongued Duckweed Frog is a mid-sized frog just like the Green Frog, however its legs are longer. Both of these species are highly aquatic, but also spend a small amount of time out of the water. Green Frogs prefer to live in ponds and shallow water with little trees and plants, however the Yellow Tongued Duckweed Frog lives in swamps with plentiful vegetation.

The focus of this research project is on how cyclin-B1 levels suppress the mitotic cell cycle within hibernating frog plasma. Previous research using THP-1 cancer cells in active and hibernating frogs showed cell division stops between G2/M phase of hibernating frogs, but mitosis continued in the non-hibernating frogs. This created a question of what cyclin was responsible for preventing the THP-1 cells from entering mitosis. Through literature research, we were able to devise a possible answer to this question. The literature explained that the cyclin-B1 is responsible for the transition from the G2 phase into mitosis. From there we were able to formulate a hypothesis. If cell division stops in the G2 phase in hibernating frogs and does not stop in non-hibernating frogs, then the level of cyclin-B1 is lower than that in the control group of non-hibernating frogs. Our project is focused on testing the levels of cyclin-B1 in the control and experimental group to determine if there is a definitive change in cyclin-B1 production in the plasma of hibernating frogs. To test the levels of cyclin-B1, we plan on using two methods. The first method is using an ELISA kit, and the second method is using flow cytometry. If our hypothesis proves correct, more will be known about how cell division is regulated during ectotherm hibernation.

In today’s time, it is not uncommon to see strange looking animals whether it be in a normal front yard or the plains of Africa. Sometimes it is interesting to study these very different animalists and this is by far one of the weirdest ones. The thorny devil lizard is one of the world's strangest lizards that is not like the common green lizard. The Thorny Lizard is a unique animal that belongs in the kingdom Animalia. It is apart of the phylum Chordata and the class reptilia, which contains snakes, turtles, and other lizards. It is also a part of the order Squamata and the family Agamidae and finally, its genus is Moloch. These lizards are not going to be found in a grassy backyard or on a fence but rather somewhere much more secluded and very hot.

This species lives in the hot and humid forests of central Africa, this species is really tiny and small. It typically eats insects, worms and other things that live on the forest floor. Some distinctive features of the African Tree Toad are its itty bitty body and its webbed feet. This species is actually not as much as concern as are other species, but we should definitely keep an eye on them! Their skin type is permeable and slimy and green.

Most frogs are born in water as tadpoles and gradually change into frogs although some frogs, known as direct developers, are born as full frogs. This allows them to be born and live far away from water, such as on mountaintops. Frogs can be found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. However, the highest concentration of frogs is found in warmer tropical climes.  Like frogs, toads are amphibians. They differ from most frogs in fact they have dry skin, warts, crests behind the eyes, and parotoid glands. The parotoid glands produce a poisonous secretion that helps to defend the toad from predators. Many different species of toads live throughout the United States. Toads are also found on every other continent excluding Antarctica.

How does Jesus’ call to live a kingdom lifestyle challenge students at St. John Paul II to change the way that we live our life? How would this school be different if we lived our life with Jesus in charge? Jesus’ call to live a kingdom lifestyle challenges us to change the way that we live our life by putting into our minds and hearts that we need to do God’s will on Earth, which, as we all know, is not as easy as it sounds. If we lived our life with Jesus in charge, this school would be different because everyone wouldn’t divide ourselves into groups, or cliques, we would be a more unified group, and we would all be clearer images of Christ.

Mr. Gaston is a gentleman that we follow for multiple sclerosis. He has currently been on 20 mg of prednisone per day and generally has been doing quite well. He has had intermittent problems with bladder control and did lose bladder control today. He has really not had much change in his weakness. His gait has been stable and he has noted no new visual or cognitive change. He is quite concerned about his B12 level because he is a vegetarian and he does know that B12 is very important for his nerves and is concerned that with his MS that he will not be making enough of a myelin sheath. Explained to him that the B12 has been well absorbed and there is probably sufficient in his diet, but to alleviate his concerns we are giving him a seven-day

Zebrafish are a freshwater fish native to the Himalayas. Slow moving streams. First found in rice paddies and the Ganges of east india and burma

As inconceivable as things for years and years scientists have missed the two new species of psychedelic fish found in the water surrounding Indonesia and The Colossal Pink Lizard that lives on the Galapagos Islands. Ted Pietsch a scientists imperfection at the University of Washington named the species “psychedelica” which is a type of frog fish. Frog fish have fins under the body that looks like worms and a white frog like mouth. The body is jealous tonus comma with 6 old love skin which gives protection against sharp edges of the coral, the face is flat, with as directed forward and a swirl of tan and Peach zebra stripes that extend from the eyes to a steel. The psychedelica moves by pushing itself off the ocean floor and expelling through

How are frogs and toads different and similar? People find it difficult to tell the difference between the two. Most people mix them up. Even though most people believe that they don’t have a lot of differences. They really do even though they are the same species.

In science, I have been told to choose and write about an endangered or extinct animal the animal I chose to do is the leatherback sea turtle. The leatherback sea turtle is currently listed as critically endangered by wwf (world wide fund for nature) and endangered by lucn (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources)
