GMOs are genetically modified organisms that are usually put in crops to make them bigger‚ tastier‚ or healthier. Though this sounds like a great idea there are extreme drawbacks. For instance GMOs are already increasing herbicide use in the U.S. by 26 percent since 1998 when the leaders of GMOs said that they would decrease herbicide use. This also means that more weeds are becoming resistant to herbicides and so GMOs are creating superweeds that are even harder to kill. With the constant spraying

The importance of behavioral adaptations in turtles to thermoregulation and survival Katherine Whitehead Biology 301 Lab 7/15/13 Abstract Thermoregulation is necessary for ectotherms to survive. One important mechanism for thermoregulation seen in turtles is the ability to migrate between land and water habitats. This mechanism was studied using I-button data loggers placed inside marshmallow peeps to record temperatures in two different microhabitats; one in a stream and the other on the
