Iris has been studying an invasive population of snails. This particular snail has no local predators, so the population grows wildly. She has observed that the population follows an exponential rate of growth for fifteen years.…

1. Consider the equation F = DP/R. It describes the flow (F) of fluid in a tube in which there is a pressure difference (DP) between the two ends and a resistance (R) to flow. The equation indicates that(2.0 Score )…
Size: adult male chimpanzees grow to be about 4 feet tall and weighs 90 to 120 pounds. Their torso is the same as a human male with the exception of proportions. They have long arms and short legs which they mostly walk on all fours although they are capable of walking upright. Female chimpanzees are smaller in size they grow to be 2 – 3.5 feet weighing up to 110 pounds.…
Every organism is different and has different physical attributes that allow them to survive in their habitat. Organisms can range from an animal, fungus, micro-organism, or plant. Some organisms have tick fur to deal with the cold winter as where some need the sun to survive. Evolution has given organisms their physiology to survive. Snakes as well as many reptiles have a unique physiology compared to other animals or organism. This paper will cover a snakes physiology and how it is suited to its environment.…
When predatory crabs are present in the snail population thinner shells were eaten much faster than when I was predator. The offspring that resulted only had thicker shells with predatory crabs but with me there were still crabs with thin shells. One reason is that there were four predatory crabs as opposed to just 1 which was me. Four crabs eat a lot more and much faster than me. Furthermore, since there are more crabs they would eat whatever crab came their way whether thick or thin while I was more picky and went for thinner shells.…
Marine biology is more than the scientific study of marine life. Marine biology is the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study oceanography and the associated fields of chemical, physical, and geological oceanography. Marine biologists are also able to specialize in large aquatic animals, all the way down to microscopic and minuscule organisms. Anything else in between, marine biologists are able to study.…
Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that are dependent on water. Marine Biology is an interesting topic to many people because of the exotic animals you get to work with. A career in Marine Biology can be dangerous because of the wild animals, but at the same time it can be fun. It takes time, training, and intelligence to succeed in the career.…
This report discusses an experiment to study the rate of aerobic cellular respiration in aquatic organisms which are Elodea (aquatic plant), Snail, and Goldfish, by measuring carbon dioxide production. Because ectothermic organisms (Elodea, snail, and goldfish) were placed in completely covered beaker, each organism would produce different amount of carbon dioxide. The objective of the experiment is to measure carbon dioxide production in three aquatic organisms, and to determine and compare the rate of cellular respiration in each organism. Aerobic respiration is the process which body obtains energy by using glucose + oxygen; this reaction takes place in mitochondrion in a cell; And the result of the reaction are carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) (Hoefnagels, 2012). According to Biology 6th Edition, plants use light to convert atmospheric carbon (CO2) into carbohydrate (Johnson, 204). So I predicted snail would respire at the fastest rate and produce more CO2 because its weight was heavier than other two…
