Golden Poison Dart Frogs may look like innocent, cute, small creatures, but don’t let their looks deceive you. These types of frogs are the deadliest frogs in the world. They live under certain conditions and have special defenses to protect themselves from enemy harm. Because of their characteristics, humans use them for hunting. Pacific Coast of Colombia is the main place where you would see the poisonous frog. Many tropical rain forests in this area are disappearing because of the farmlands

LICHENS (fungus) - are dual organisms because they have a symbiotic association between two or more entirely different types of microorganism, usually a fungus and algae Scientific name/general classification - orange sea lichen Caloplaca marina (G) Kingdom: fungi Phylum: ascomycota Class: lecanoromycetes Order: teloschistales Family: teloschistaceae Genus: caloplaca Species: c. marina Physical stats 13,500 to 17,000 species The body is termed the thallus and the general shape allows for classification

A wood that has an economical value to the world is the Oak wood. Oak wood comes from a tree or shrub in the genus Quercus. Quercus comes from the family Fagaceae that is also known as the beech family. Oak trees are native to the Northern Hemisphere, which includes deciduous and evergreen from cool temperate to tropical latitudes. North America has the largest amount of oak trees with China trailing in second. The Oak tree is pollinated by wind, which allows it to occur as an evergreen, winter or

Ecotourism is a good way to make money by using the rain forest and saving plants and animals(Sheehan,47). Growing crops in the outer shadows are a good way to make some money with the rain forest(Sheehan, 47). An internet or national press campaign can be very effective for saving endangered species(Sheehan, 47). The inuit

The history of almonds can be traced as far back as 2000 B.C. in Hebrew literature, and is also referenced in the Bible’s Book of Numbers. Throughout the past, almonds have maintained religious and cultural significance. For example, the Romans gifted almonds to newlyweds as a token of fertility, and Egyptian pharos considered almonds a prized ingredient (California Almonds, 2017). Originally almonds were native to central and southeast Asia, but soon flourished in areas that are the current-day

In order to test this hypothesis and prediction, an experiment was conducted using a heterozygous F1 generation of Brassica Rapa seeds. The seeds were planted, pollinated, harvested (F2 generation) and germinated for observation. When leaves were visible, phenotypes (green vs. purple) were counted and recorded. The experiment took place over 13 weeks, spanning the full semester of General Biology Lab I. The sections that follow will detail the materials and methods used, the results of the investigation

“van Helmont had placed a large pot at exactly 200 pounds of soil that had been thoroughly dried in the oven. Then he moistened the soil with rain water and placed a 5 pound willow shoot.” After this he water the plant everyday for 5 years. His results came in, he got a 164 pound plant. The soil only weighed 3 ounces less. This is an example of Conservation of Matter because the matter stayed

a gradient of chronic salinity stress. Plants remained in salinity treatments (0 ppt, 3 ppt, 6 ppt, or 12 ppt) for the duration of the experiment (i.e., six weeks) to mimic permanent saltwater intrusion from sea-level rise. Treatment B in experiment 2 was a gradient of acute salinity stress. Plants were temporarily exposed to salinity levels (same concentrations as before) to mimic ephemeral saltwater intrusion from hurricane storm surge, and then the plants were allowed to recover in fresh water

Liquid Pesticide on Brassica Plant Growth The question that is being asked for this semester-long lab project is: What is the effect of liquid pesticide on plant growth? Our hypothesis, after careful consideration and research on the effects of pesticides on plants in general, is that the Spectracide, the brand of liquid pesticide we will be using, will have a negative effect on the Brassica plant when applied, resulting in decreased growth when the Brassica plants are grown in laboratory conditions

Each female fly can lay over 9,000 eggs. The eggs are white and are about 1.2 mm in length. Within a day, the larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and feed in (usually dead and decaying) organic material, such as garbage or faeces. They are pale whitish, 3-9 mm long, thinner at the mouth end, and have no legs. At the end of their thirdinstar, the maggots crawl to a dry cool place and transform into pupae, coloured reddish or brown and about 8 mm long. The adult flies then emerge from
