    The Red Cedar River is home to many interesting and unique species of organisms, including crayfish. Crayfish play a significant role in the ecosystem by serving as a food source to different organisms. By studying the factors that influence the amount of crayfish in a freshwater environment, researchers can discover more about how ecosystems persist. The overpopulation of crayfish in freshwater systems can lead to various negative impacts, such as the feeding on plants that are major food sources for different aquatic organisms and the eating of fish eggs leading to the decrease in population sizes. If there is evidence proving a positive correlation between phosphorus concentration, a chemical element that can enter water through waste or…

    Gold Fish Lab Report

    This experiment was designed to identify the effect of cold-water temperatures on the respiration rate of goldfish. The respiration rates helped to identify the goldfish as being ectotherms or endotherms. Organisms exchange gases with their environment through a process called respiration or breathing. Aerobic respiration, also known as aerobic metabolism, occurs when oxygen is taken into the body and sent to all its cells; the oxygen is then used to break down food for energy (White and Campo 2008). Respiration can be experienced through several structures such as the lungs, tracheae, gills, and integument in order to obtain oxygen. All organisms that experience respiration are either endotherms or ectotherms. Ectotherms are animals that depend on their environment for body temperature. These animals respond to changes in their environment in order to maintain homeostasis, the stable, internal conditions of the organism. Animals that are warm-blooded and can regulate their body temperatures internally regardless of their environment are endotherms. For ectotherms, regulating body temperatures can require more work. Those aquatic animals have adapted several techniques to stay alive. Larry Crawshaw explains that animals, both aquatic and terrestrial, seek to avoid stressful thermal environments or to compensate for the temperature change by mostly lowering the metabolic rate (1979). Lowering the metabolic rate allows certain enzymes to be produced and chemical reactions to happen within the fish that actually warms it up. While lowering metabolic rates are important, respiration regulation is also important. Stephen C. Wood also believes that ectotherms need behavioral mechanisms for temperature control. These mechanisms could include slowing breathing rates to conserve energy and releasing certain chemicals into the body (1991). This…

    The purpose of having a control when doing a lab is because it is the part that is already known and not likely to change. It is always important to have a stable variable in any experiment you do. This also helps with overlooking hidden variables so you can compare how the organisms in the control behaved differently from those in the experimental situation. The purpose of having multiple variables is to compare the difference between the outcomes with each of the different variables. It is important to have large number of organisms so there is more of a population. Watching one fish would not be accurate because they do not account for the body of fish but having more fish means having more of an accurate outcome of what the whole body of fish would actually do. If I were to repeat this procedure, I would probably calculate every 5 minutes but after I do, I would wait one minute and calculate again how many fish were in each area. There were a lot of times when 5 minutes would be up then I would notice the fish moving into another area 5 seconds later. The variables that the fish responded to were the warm and bright area on one side and the cool and dark area on the opposite side and the normal temperatures in the middle. Due to our calculations, the fish like to be in the warmer temperature with bright lights! This is because it is easier for them to see and it was not overbearingly hot, it was just…

    I chose a debate about AquaBounty's genetically modified salmon, which is designed to gown continuously instead of seasonally, and was approved by the F.D.A. It is the first genetically modified salmon to be sold in the United States. It has been argued by some critics that the studies done on the salmon are inadequate and that not labeling the salmon as genetically modified is dangerous to consumers. The author of the debate, Nina Fedoroff, is in favor of the G.M.O salmon.…
