Echinoderms

In the Intertidal Zone Ever wonder what fascinating creatures there are in the Intertidal zone? Or what kinds of adaptations they use? Almost all plants that are algae live in this incredible zone. Some other names for this amazing zone are the High Tide Zone, Mid Tide Zone, and Low Tide Zone. The Intertidal Zone is also called the shallow ocean zone, and has a lot of tide pools. This zone stretches from the surface to 660 feet, and you can find jellyfish, crabs, fish, and sea turtles. Adaptations

Essay #1 Over the years, climate change has affected marine species because it has increased the ocean temperature, causing it to get warmer, which is causing a negative impact to most marine organisms like echinoderms and cnidarians (Quinn, 2016). In many cases, the optimum temperature of growth increased 1-6°C, which created harmful effects on stages of development (Quinn, 2016). In some cases such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus), warming of the ocean had caused smaller body sizes

Introduction In this assignment I am going to describe how all organisms are classified by putting them into five kingdoms. The five kingdoms are: • Monera- Prokaryotes (bacteria) • Protozoans(protists) • Fungi • Plants • Animals Prokaryotes (monera) Prokaryotes have a cell wall but are only made from cellulose. Prokaryotes have no nucleus. Prokaryotic cells are found in single-celled organisms such as bacteria. The DNA in a prokaryotic cell is in the cytoplasm rather than enclosed thin a

Guinea’s Fly River in the north (8⁰S) to Fraser Island in the south (24⁰S) and has become the largest World Heritage site in the world. It has 1500 of the worlds 13 000 fish species in it area, 200 bird species, 5oo species of seaweed, 600 species of echinoderm, 125 species of shark and ray and around 360 species of hard coral. The Great Barrier Reef is a highly active ecosystem. Tropical cyclones are a major source of damage to this reef system. These storms create great waves that damage corals.

public. This allows visitors the opportunity to touch and feed cownose, Atlantic and Southern stingrays. The aquarium features marine life from all around the world and is very interactive. However, my favorite animal was the starfish. Starfish are echinoderms and are found throughout the aquarium. There are many rare species of starfish found in the aquarium, but they can only survive in salt

There are many types of worms in this diverse world. Many worms that have different functions, structure and names. One type of worm is the flatworm. It is scientifically referred to as Platyhelminthes. It is generally classified in the Animal kingdom, specifically speaking, it is classified as a Platyzoa. Flatworms lie in four classes: Turbellaria, Monogenea, Trematoda, and Cestoidea. To over 100 families and 10,000 species. Flatworms can be free living or parasitic. Meaning that

marine life was composed. Aristotle (384 BC to 322 BC) was the first to write about marine life, recording his observations made on or near the Island of Lesbos in Ancient Greece. He recorded identifications of a variety of species ranging from echinoderms to crustaceans to mollusks and even fish. Not only was Aristotle the first to write about his observations of marine life, he was also the first to record his work on the anatomy and physiology of marine animals and was the first to use a systematic

surface of the ocean's surface. However, despite this, they provide a home to about one-quarter of all of the species that live in the oceans. (Mulhall, 2007, p. 321). Among the other life forms that live in the world's coral reefs are fish, worms, echinoderms (such as sea urchins), sponges, and the evolutionary ancient classes of tunicates and cnidarians. One of the most striking aspects of the diversity of coral reefs is that they can exist (and support this florescence of life) in places where few

The beautiful city-Qingdao Talk about "the blue sky, brilliant green" everyone will invariably think of a unique coastal city-Qingdao. Qingdao is my hometown, so I recommend people to visit this beautiful city. First of all, I'd like to introduce Qingdao. The city of Qingdao is in the east of Shangdong Province. Qingdao has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. A harmonious picture of mountains, sea and city is painted in which one can see the winding coastline, islands and beautiful buildings

Introduction Most animals don’t have similar structures, but they all have same function to stay alive. All animals have a reproductive system, digestive system, nervous system Pig: Our fetal pig which we dissected is a female who was 100 days in the gestation period and has the length of 25 cm. In the pig dissection, we found the stomach and intestines. By the way it looks it seems to have similar functions of the human digestive system. The stomach breaks down the food while the intestine absorbs
