is a small land creature that is often found in many areas around the world. They prefer moist areas often living in soil‚ under rocks‚ and dead logs. The pillbug which is an isopod begins its life as a tiny egg and as it grows it sheds its old exoskeleton 4 to 5 times. A pillbug consists of three basic body parts‚ the head‚ thorax‚ and the abdomen. Pillbugs eat decaying plants and animals as well as some living plants. The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to demonstrate the scientific

actually “bugs” they are classified as terrestrial isopods and fall under the class Crustacea.This class also falls under an even larger group called Arthropoda. Arthropoda consists of many Arthropods that have bilateral symmetry‚segmented bodies‚exoskeletons‚jointed appendages‚and numerous pairs of limbs.Pill bugs also have a flattened or round-backed profile‚seven pairs of legs‚ and sharply-angled antennae.According to Dr.Jonathan Wright ”The broad head has 4 pairs of mouthparts and is followed by

Circulatory systems move blood around an organism’s body. They are important for continued life of the cells‚ tissues and entire body of any organism. There are two types of circulatory systems. Open and Closed. An elephant is one of the largest land mammals on earth and therefor it has a large body with a large circulatory system. The circulatory system pumps blood through arteries‚ veins and capillaries. The blood transported around the body reaches organs to nourish cells. In return

own lives‚ forgoing their families and social life. The second theme is the motif of identity. Lopate asks wheter the thoughts in our heads are “even our own‚ or are we merely channeling messages from the mass media‚ which function as a kind of exoskeleton. (2003)” The idea of the mass media influencing people on such a fundamental basis as thoughts leads to the confusion between the psychological portrayal of an individual and the

their skeletons and shells. Studies have shown that calcium carbonate formation is disrupted if water becomes too acidic”(Fujita‚ pg 2‚ par 8). So not only coral reefs being effected in skeletal growth‚ but all organisms that have an outer shell or exoskeleton have trouble developing a strong shell as the acid restricts the calcium production. Another effect that climate change brings about is rising sea levels. “The most obvious consequence of sea level rise will be an upward shift in species distributions

eggs are white‚ bean shaped‚ and about 2mm to 9mm long. In their larvae‚ their pigmentation is dark yellow with brown hands and is about 35 mm long. The pupa stage is white with a large head and a pointed tail. Like all beetles‚ this beetle sheds exoskeleton‚ has six jointed legs‚ and two antennae‚ compound eyes‚ and a body divided into three parts‚ the head‚ thorax‚ and abdomen. At the adult stage the beetle grows from 12 to 25 mm long. The adult lives for a few months and the whole life cycle is about

Both Plants and fungi affect the carbon cycle though they do it in different ways- both of them interfere with it while they are attempting to get food/energy to survive on. Each have adapted so they can live in an environment where they can source enough food to survive. They get these things from different sources so grow in very different conditions in order to survive. Plants live in places with lots of sunlight as well as a place where they can source water whereas fungi can live almost anywhere
