    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. The three temperature environments conducted in the experiment included room temperature, a cold environment (ice bath), and a hot environment (how water bath). The purpose of this study was to test the effects of temperature change on the ectothermic organism Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa) and its metabolic rate. The null hypothesis was that there would be no change in metabolic rate and CO2 gas percentage levels despite changes in temperature. The alternative hypothesis was that the CO2 gas percentage levels from the ectothermic organism would change with changes in temperature. Our findings reject the null hypothesis and agree with the alternative hypothesis reflecting that the CO2 gas percentage levels from the ectothermic organism did change with changes in environmental temperature.…

    As I read both of these essays completely nonbiased to each of the situations, minus my fear of spiders, I came to the conclusion that if I had to put one above the other I would choose the “Gang Initiation Warning” above the “Toilet Spiders” essay simply because the essay about the gangs was more realistic than the one on the toilet spiders. Both papers were a bit extreme and seemed to have a purpose of just inducing fear on people; but the issue for me was, which is more believable and realistic.…
