are many discoveries of immortality already living in the world. Lobsters‚ three types of jellyfish‚ bowhead whales‚ turtles‚ clams‚ and glass sponges are examples of such animals that are able to live for long periods of time. Lauren Said-Moorhouse‚ journalist for CNN‚ interviewed Shin Kubota‚ a professor at Kyoto University ’s Seto Marine Biological Laboratory‚ believes that Turritopsis (Immortal Jellyfish) has applications for human beings that‚ “is the most wonderful dream of mankind”.

Outer layer-epidermis‚ and jellylike substance-mesenchyme. Morphology of Molluscs-they have a soft body they are more fragile. They also have more difficulty to support their bodies in terrestrial environments or to fixate to substrates in aquatic habitats. Many species solve these problems by secreting a calcareous carapace

gases are emitted from burning plastic bags. Plastic bags are also responsible for the deaths of many animals on land and in the sea. For example‚ scientists have found sea turtles that have swallowed plastic bags because they mistake them for jellyfish. Sea turtles can live for many years and are very important for the biodiversity of our oceans. Many are now suffering slow and painful deaths because they cannot digest a plastic bag when swallowed. Why should we continue to use plastic bags

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems‚ such as those connected with reality‚ existence‚ knowledge‚ values‚ reason‚mind‚ and language.[1][2] Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical‚ generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.[3] In more casual speech‚ by extension‚ "philosophy" can refer to "the most basic beliefs‚ concepts‚ and attitudes of an individual or group". The word "philosophy" comes from the Ancient

Animal Phyla Lab Adapted from “Phylum Lab” produced by the National Aquarium in Baltimore The diversity of animal life on Earth is astounding. Each animal has a unique body plan which allows it to survive and adapt to its given surroundings. With such an abundance of species‚ classifying animals into different categories is necessary. At first the diversity of animals can be overwhelming‚ but after further research and observation‚ many likenesses appear. These similarities become the basis for

Genetic transformation of Escherichia coli with pGLO (Adapted from: Biotechnology Explorer: Bacterial Transformation: The pGLO System. Instructors Guide. BIO-RAD). Objectives a. To understand one of the most commonly used techniques for introducing DNA into E. coli cells and its use in molecular cloning. b. To become familiar with the concept of using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a molecular tag for studying gene expression in bacteria and other organisms.

an antibiotic that kills E. coli (Barnhart and Hopper‚ 2011). The gene araC and the gene GFP work together. The araC gene when turned on‚ also turns on the GFP gene‚ it is called a promoter gene. The GFP gene is a gene taken from a luminescent jellyfish‚ when turned on it glows in the presence of UV light. So for the GFP gene to be turned on

Hawksbill turtles like this because the reefs have sponges they like to feed on. Hawksbills are omnivorous and will also eat mollusks‚ marine algae‚ crustaceans‚ sea urchins‚ fish‚ and jellyfish. Their hard shells protect them from many predators‚ but they still fall prey to large fish‚ sharks‚ crocodiles‚ octopuses‚ and humans. Like other sea turtles‚ hawksbills make unbelievable migrations in order to move from feeding sites to nesting

Transferring genes across species by this technology has made it possible to put human genes into goats‚ bacterial genes into plants and jellyfish genes into frogs. Why would anyone want to do
