The Cockroaches

Title Experimentation of Metabolic Rate on Gromphadorhina portentosa Ectotherms in Changing Temperatures Abstract Temperature and environment plays a key role on the effects of an ectothermic organism’s metabolism. The specific ectothermic organism used in this study was the Gromphadorhina portentosa also known as the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. In this study we measured CO2 production (%) and temperature (̊C) every three minutes for a total of 15 minutes in three different temperature environments

For some people, even the mention of cockroaches sends shivers down their spines. Often, people are reminded of dirtiness when it comes to cockroaches. Worse still, cockroaches are known for spreading diseases such as Salmonellosis, and also triggering allergies and asthma! On top of that, cockroaches also portray another shocking characteristic-cannibalism. Studies have shown cannibalism in six species of cockroaches, including German, American, and Oriental that show cannibalistic tendencies

Cockroaches are the oldest and most primitive winged insects. Most species are found in tropic area, fewer species are found in temperate area. Majority of the species are no economic importance, inhabiting the floor of tropical, caves, rain forests, deserts, etc (Lee & Ng 2009). 2.1.2 Physical characteristics Most cockroaches are light brown to black color to suit their cryptic, habitat and nocturnal behavior. Cockroach body is typically oval and flattened dorsal-ventrally. This type of shape allows

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches prefer? In the wild they live on a warm island. Hissing cockroaches that are pets may still want to be in a warmer climate. As pets they are sometimes given a heat lamp. People have tested the cockroaches and have different ideas about Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches’ heat preference. What temperature do the roaches really want? Madagascar cockroaches are small insects. They are wingless insects and do not colonize in homes. Male hissing cockroaches have horns and females

To find out how mass affects the metabolic rate of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches we conducted an experiment. We found the amount of CO2 outtake of different sized Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches by, using a Quibit gas analysis and analog-to-digital conversion system((Abraham, et al., 2017). Madagascar hissing cockroaches have a different way of breathing than most other vertebrates, we use a continuous gas exchange while they use a discontinuous gas exchange. We hypothesize that the mass and mass-specific

Schulz). Before the father’s disappearance, the house the family lives in became infested with cockroaches. To try and kill the little creatures he would “leap from one chair to another with a javelin” (75, Schulz) in his hands stabbing at the ground while emitting “screams of terror” (75, Schulz). In a sense “he had grown wild” (75, Schulz) attempting to rid the house of the invasion. His hatred for the cockroaches created a permeant “petrified tragic mask” (75, Schulz) on his face and the constant anticipation

Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page and Jeff Fatt. Before the formation of the group, Field and Fatt were members of the Australian pop band The Cockroaches with Page being a roadie, and met Cook at Macquarie University where they were studying to become pre-school teachers. Together, they formed The Wiggles. Using connections gained from The Cockroaches, The Wiggles’ first manager Jeremy Fabinyi negotiated with the ABC to air The Wiggles’ TV show. This program essentially promoted their first album

It all started with the screaming and fighting of my dad and stepmom. I hadn’t ever met my mom I was token away at birth and was deprived of the visits of my birth mom. My dog had always stayed by my side. Her name is Tukie. Tukie was 10 years old. My dad got him as a puppy for his special needs. My dad would have a stroke every month, to then go paralyzed for the rest of that week. Due to this I had missed lots of school and had unacceptable grades. My sister who had died after college, to be exact

The contribution of cockroaches in the ecosystem. What will happen if there were no cockroaches? Cockroaches are one of the ancient species, it begins to be found from the Carboniferous period, about 320 million years ago [1]. It belongs to the group of Blattodea, undering the category of Inseacta. Most of us has seen cockroaches, we often see them hiding inside the dark and humid place in our home, including the kitchen, toilet or the gutter. Every time we see them, we would never be nice to them
