Organism Physiology: The Octopus Bio/101 The cephalopodor octopus is a marine organism that inhabits many diverse regions of the ocean. Its food source consists of crabs‚ small fish‚ clams‚ mussels and other marine animals. The octopus is a predatory animal and has developed many skills to aid in its survival in the environment it has adapted to. The octopus has several main organs that are vital to its survival; the brain for its intelligence; the ink sack for its defense; and the arms for

to interpret natural experiences. Science is a searh for regularities. These regularities may include observed phenomena or patterns in nature. After observations have been recorded about regularities‚ scientist must process the information. Science is a self-correcting process in which previously existing concepts can be expanded‚ modified‚ or replaced if necessary. 2. Why is science considered a unified endeavor? A. Science is considered a unified endeavor because of the methods‚ reasoning‚ and

LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) In the event of a chemical splash to the eyes‚ flood the eyes for at least 15-30 minutes with water. Flush from the eye outward. If you were not wearing proper eye wear‚ a chemical could splash into your eye and would make it necessary to use this. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Used in order to put out a small fire.

Gnats and fruit flies are very similar. The only difference between the two‚ is that gnats form big groups outdoors‚ while fruit flies are mostly found indoors. Either way they’re living‚ they’re both extremely annoying. There are many different types of gnats‚ which are Fungus Gnats‚ Drain Flies‚ Midges‚ Sand

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

Biology Laboratory Report MEASURING RATE OF WATER UPTAKE BY A PLANT SHOOT USING A POTOMETER Introduction All plants need salts minerals‚ water‚ CO2 and O2. To fulfill their requirements different plants use different ways. Lower plants use diffusion‚ however higher plants use vascular tissue that is located in the middle of the root and in the vascular bundles in the stem. The transpiration is the important process in the plant. The main reason is that transportation
