Most pet turtles, red eared sliders included, are mainly herbivorous in the wild and can survive on vegetables such as carrots, lettuce or cabbage or fruits such as berries. Some owners also introduce earthworms or live insects such as crickets, beetles or spiders. You can also buy commercial turtle food to ensure that your turtle is getting all of the nutrients it needs. Diet and frequency of feeding is also, in part, a function of your turtle's age. One thing you will notice is that the red eared slider's diet tends to change as they mature. Younger turtles are usually omnivores, eating a wide range of vegetation and insects. As they mature, they tend to be more herbivorous, sticking to fruits and vegetables.…
Buckminsterfullerenes or buckyballs are the next step in finding the cure to cancerous tumors. Buckyballs are made out of nano tubes and look like a spider-web stuck together to form a ball. They were discovered on accident when scientists were trying to vaporize carbon. The unnamed atom product was appealing to the eye so they did further research. Based on their shape, buckyballs were named after an American architect Buckminster Fuller who built dome shaped buildings similar to the eye as buckyballs. Are there other uses buckyballs can be used for?…
Diprotodon, meaning "two forward teeth", sometimes known as the Giant Wombat or the Rhinoceros Wombat, was the largest known marsupial that ever lived and the last of the extinct, herbivorous Diprotodontids. Diprotodon was the first fossil mammal named from Australia and one of the most well-known of the mega fauna. It was widespread across Australia when the first indigenous people arrived, co-existing with them for thousands of years before becoming extinct about 25,000 years ago.…

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…
Crayfish are close relatives of the Lobster and resemble a small shrimp. They live in freshwater habitats in North America and Europe.…
Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs, tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy, resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish), compete for food, survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the ability to regenerate these claws over time if they are lost or damaged. The motives and forms of regeneration in crayfish have evolved due to many factors. The effects that regeneration has are linked to the various needs that have evolved in the…
Imagine being in a country roughly the same size as the United States (U.S.) and having over four times the population. Imagine having a limited water supply due to pollution. Imagine having a wall built across your entire country. Imagine a country that frowns upon religion and only allows you to have one child. All these things are true for the country of China. Over the following paragraphs, I will discuss the world’s largest military and some of the struggles that the Chinese people face on a daily basis.…

Huckleberry fin is a very great novel. In general, this was a very well written novel, it was thoroughly written and was not too hard to read. From the get go of the story I was hooked! It is very interesting how Huckleberry fin starts off in Missouri but then his father decides to make Huckleberry fin live in a van. This was interesting and cool to me. It was very surprising that his father decided to just take him away from his home. But I believe that the father took him simply because Huckleberry fin was just giving his money over to Judge Thatcher. His father probably thought Huckleberry fin did not understand the value of a dollar. Or how hard it is to work for all that money; therefore, his father took actions in to his own…

There are many causes to the over population of jellyfish. One of the origins is pollution. When the earth is polluted it increases the number of dead zones. Zooplankton thrive in these dead zones; jellyfish also thrive on zooplankton. When there is a higher population of zooplankton, jellyfish can become bigger and in a larger population. Another cause for the spread of jellyfish is over fishing, when there is less fish that eat jelly fish, it causes their population to grow. Another problem is the warming ocean, when the water warms the jellyfish are enabled to move into new areas.…
Back when I was little, my biologicals dads mother gave me a beanie baby. This is a yellow bunny and it has angel wings. This was not an extravagant gift and it was special to me back when I was still young simply because my grandmother had given it to me. This gift has meant a lot to me throughout my life because little did I know that at the time I received the bunny my grandmother had cancer. After I got this gift it was a very short amount of time before she passed away. As a kid I held this item close to me because it was something that I had left of her, but as I grew up the meaning of my stuffed bunny became much more. The angel represents strength, my grandmother had immense amounts of courage through her battle, and I am reminded to…
