Fishes Long- spine porcupinefish Family:Diodontidae “buteteng laot” (Diodon holocanthus) Like all species in the family Diodontidae‚ Long-spined Porcupinefish (Diodon holocanthus) can inflate themselves by swallowing water (or air). As in other species in the genus Diodon‚ this swelling causes the erection of the long movable spines covering the body. The Long-spined Porcupinefish is a robust fish with rounded dorsal and anal fins. Spines on the forehead of the Long-spined

Darra Boyer November 18‚ 2015 Affects of Various Drugs on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Introduction The Daphnia magna‚ more commonly known as water flea‚ is indigenous to ponds and lakes in northern and western North America. This crustacean has an outer transparent covering called the carapace. The unique physiology of the water flea is useful in translational research allowing researchers to visibly study all of the bodily systems without causing harm to the specimen (2). Being classified

HawaiiAnchialine Pools: T: Julia Russo and Linds Hawaiian Anchialine Pools: ʻŌpae ʻUla The ʻōpae ʻula and the Hawaiian anchialine pools have been a large part of Hawaii’s environment. We chose this topic because we wanted to learn about a Hawaiian species because we were both raised in Hawaii‚ and that the ʻōpae ʻula is endemic to Hawaii. We chose to do a poster board so we could reflect and make the things that we say easy to remember. In the Waianapanapa Cave‚ people are putting guppies and

Bamboo Sharks Also known as a “longtail carpet shark”‚ bamboo sharks are slow moving bottom feeders. Because they are bottom feeders‚ they mainly feed on crustaceans and algae that lie on the ocean floor. Even though they can have up to 67 teeth‚ they are very small‚ so they are harmless to humans. For eating prey with protective shells‚ their teeth pivot backwards. This helps to protect the tips of the teeth and provides a flat surface to bite down on crabs or clam shells. The Bamboo shark

The 101 mile long Conodoguinet Creek flows through about nine different municipalities‚ so testing for pollution and water quality is extremely important. To figure out the water quality of the creek however‚ we first needed to identify which tests to do. Realizing what the cause of pollution is‚ was our first problem. But‚ using prior knowledge of acid rain and eutrophication in Pennsylvania‚ we found out that those were‚ in fact‚ our main problems/causes of pollution in the Conodoguinet. When figuring

Disaccharides Sucrose A crystalline disaccharide of fructose and glucose‚ C12H22O11‚ found in many plants but extracted as ordinary sugar mainly from sugarcane and sugar beets‚ widely used as a sweetener or preservative and in the manufacture of plastics and soaps‚ also called saccharose. Sucrose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and the most common transport sugar in plants. It is also a no reducing disaccharide‚ and is synthesized in the cytosol via the phosphorylated intermediate

The invertebrate marine animals are dominated by the crustaceans (70+ species) of which 65% are crabs. Molluscs are also common (approximately 100 species) with about 75% being gastropods and the rest mainly bivalves. Others include at least 24 species of segmented worms‚ corals‚ tunicates and sponges. There

Caretta caretta is commonly called the "Loggerhead" sea turtle due to their overly large heads‚ which are comprised of a horny beak that is significantly thicker than in other sea turtles. This species is the largest hard-shelled turtle in the world. Loggerhead turtles have large heads (when compared to other species of marine turtles) and strong‚ muscular jaws (which help them crush prey such as crabs and lobsters). The loggerhead sea turtle is a marine mammal that grows quite large. Adults of

University‚ states that pill bugs are most likely to be found in damp‚ dark habitats. The habitats usually include underneath stones‚ logs‚ leaf litter or other debris. The article also explains that pill bugs are terrestrial crustaceans- relatives of familiar aquatic crustaceans like crabs and crayfish. In that case‚ pill bugs always face the risk of drying out because their ancestors are aquatic. Staying out of the sun (and thus in the dark) is the way that pill bugs prevent water loss and desiccation
