CHAPTER 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Snail meat has been consumed by humans throughout the world since prehistoric times. It is high protein (12-16%) and irons (45-50mg/kg), low in fat (0.05-0.8%) and contains almost all the amino acids needed by humans. In addition to the nutritional value of snail meat, a recent study has shown that the glandular substances from edible snails cause agglutination of certain bacteria; this could be of value against a variety of ailments, including whooping cough. In

habituation of snails to harmless stimulus. To develop problem solving and experimental skills, for example, information is accurately processed and presented, experimental procedures are planned, designed and evaluated properly, producing valid results, recording results, and valid conclusion is drawn. To learn the correct way of poking the snail. Problem Statement: When a garden snail is touched, it withdraws its eye stalks into its body quickly. This is a quick response of the snail to avoid

Creature Feature: Cone Snail A tropical ocean dweller, the cone snail may seem harmless at first glance. Do not be fooled by its iridescent shell and geometrically patterned exterior — the cone snail is hypothesized to have the potential of killing up to 700 humans with its venom. 1 Not only are its toxins an apt example of antipredatory defense mechanism, the cone snail also forages with its loaded harpoon, ready to shoot and kill before enjoying a scrumptious meal. Based on molecular phylogeny

TITLE Habituation of snail. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of habituation of snails to a stimulus To develope certain experiment skills, such as working safely, producing valid results, recording results and drawing valid conclusions from results. INTRODUCTION The snails Figure 1: Garden snail Taken from http://abugblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/handsome-snail.html Snails are one of the earliest known types of animals

gastropods in the Puget Sound. One of the most notable gastropods in the Puget Sound is the Moon Snail. The Moon Snail got its name due to its round smooth shape and its brown-gray color.

known as the giant African snail, is an invasive species native to Africa, of very large, air-breathing land snails that can reach up to 20 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter. The United States Department of Agriculture considers the Giant African Snail to be one of the most damaging species for the agriculture and crops in the country. It consumes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and is known to eat at least 500 different types of plants. The giant African snail is becoming a significant agricultural

O’ahu Tree Snails are also known as Achatinella mustelina is a genus from the family Achatinellidae (Kay & Hadfield, 1972, p. 320). They are approximately found only within a range of the Waianae mountains in Oahu. There are many physical attributes of O’ahu tree snails that make this a valuable species in Hawaiian culture and heritage. For example, O’ahu tree snails are approximately ¾ inches in length. Because they originate from the islands of O’ahu, these snails live in humid or dry to wet environments

The snail darter case can be a little ridiculous. Its between the 3-inch snail darter fish and then whether to build the Tellico dam. The main eye attention to this argument is whether we should let the snail darter fish live or not. If we build the Tellico dam to snail darters will die. On the other hand its a big deal because the snail darters are on the endangered species list. In my opinion I'm on the snail darter fish side because I think the fish should live. The cost to build the dam is

While most people thinking of invertebrates for the aquarium are thinking of marine invertebrates, there are a surprising number of freshwater invertebrates that make excellent tank inhabitants. Many freshwater invertebrates do not require large amounts of space, making them ideal for Nano tanks or even goldfish bowls. Some eat algae or uneaten fish food, while others are stunningly beautiful. Sometimes such useful attributes even belong to the same creature. However, freshwater invertebrates
