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

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

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
