Laboratory Report 4: Invertebrate Animals Section: I Table: 6 Date: September 26th‚ 2013 Introduction: In our group‚ our task was to observe the selected four invertebrates and familiarize ourselves with their taxonomic levels through the organism’s mechanisms of feeding‚ motility‚ and reproduction. Our group used the prior knowledge we possessed about the Hydra‚ Rotifer‚ Gammarus‚ and Planaria organisms to complete the lab. We knew that all of these small invertebrates have a

The foraminifera is found floating through the ocean‚ and there are actually many different species of foraminifera‚ some even reside on the sea floor. The foraminifera grows by creating more space in their limestone shells. They’re only about the size of one grain of sand. The foraminifera

Animal Communication: Whales vs Elephants Unlike humans‚ animals do not have a complex language system‚ but they do in fact have their own means of communication. Their main purpose is for survival and some may not even be aware they are doing it. The two mammals I chose to compare are whales and elephants and their reasons for communicating and channels of communication. Some reasons for communicating may include procreation‚ dominance and territorial rights‚ food‚ and alarms. Channels of communication

Although increase in salinity has been known to be detrimental to the health of the Daphnia magna‚ if high enough can result in mortality‚ Daphnia magna can adapt to low levels of salt (Baillieul et.al 1996). Since the Daphnia magna are freshwater crustaceans the lower the salt concentration there is the closer the heart rate should be to the resting heart rate of the Daphnia. Possible errors that could have gone wrong are the duration given to allow for the absorption of the different concentration

Philippines there was an abundance of sugar cane‚ coconut‚ rice‚ cotton‚ hemp‚ and many species of fruits and vegetables. Fishing‚ due to the country’s long coastline and bodies of water‚ the early settlers always had an abundant catch of fishes‚ crustaceans‚ shrimps and shells.

for example‚ as people continue to use many hand soaps that contain triclosan and triclocarban in could have harmful effects to an ecosystem ‚ like the chemical triclosan having an acute effect on to aquatic organisms‚ such as algae‚ fish and crustaceans (Gao et. al.‚ 2015). They could have harmful effects on many organisms‚ by disrupting the food chain‚ as well as creating toxins that contaminate many marine organisms (Pignataro‚ 2015).
