Animal Kingdom The animal kingdom is a taxonomic kingdom composed of multicellular‚ eukaryotic organisms. Mostly‚ their body structures become fixed as they develop‚ yet still some organisms in this kingdom have the ability to undergo metamorphosis. The majority of these organisms are motile‚ which means they can move on their own and with spontaneity. All animals are heterotrophic‚ which implies that they depend on other organisms for food. Animals live in places that provide their necessities

achieved by the worm through a dense fluid secreted from its gland structural glands‚ resulting in the fibre of the cocoon. The silk is a continuous-filament fiber consisting of fibroin protein‚ secreted from two salivary glands in the head of each larva‚ and a gum called sericin‚ which cements the two filaments together. The sericin is removed by placing the cocoons in hot water‚ which frees the silk filaments and readies them for reeling. The immersion in hot water also kills the silkworm pupae.

Amit Gupta Biology Scott-3 April 01‚ 2001 Research Project: Class Insecta Insects are invertebrates in the class Insecta from the phylum arthopoda. Arthropods include more than 850‚000 species and form by far the largest phylum in the animal kingdom‚ exceeding in number all the other Phyla combined. The characteristic tough exoskeleton and jointed limbs are superimposed in a segmental body plan that reflects the evolution of arthropods from ancestors of the annelid worm. Insects‚ arachnids

In the book The Chrysalids‚ people are destroyed for looking different from the norm. Differences seen in the book include extra toes‚ hairy bodies‚ long arms and legs. But is this alright?

One of the many inadequate reasons for destroying these people is that they believe that having an irregularity is hateful in the

Forensic Entomology Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date of Submission Introduction Forensic entomology combines the study of insects and other arthropods with the science of crime investigation.

In entomology‚ such insects are considered as part of the evidence. In this regard a major area of emphasis

IntroductionAnts Formīca are arguably the most successful organisms presently on earth. They evolved from a wasp like common ancestor approximately 150 million years ago(2006 Chuck Lydeard)1. Due to their long ecological dominancy amongst insect and short life span they have undergone a high rate of adaptive radiation. Leading to a reasonably large amount of species and inter- species diversity. There are at least 12000 different species of Formicidae (2008 Edward O. Wilson)2 which have colonised

10. Errors and Redesign. Throughout this experiment a number of random and procedural errors were apparent; these errors could have affected the results of the experiment in a number of ways. One experimental error that occurred during the experiment was that some flies became stuck in the food source and died. The main cause of this was the fact that the fly vials were stood up (vertically) before the flies had fully recovered from the anaesthetic. This could be overcome in future experiments by
