Eco Column Project Report VII. Conclusions a) In the aquatic chamber‚ the first week was a disaster. The plant life was sick‚ the snails were dying‚ and our fish died. As the project continued‚ it became healthier once we changed out the water. The first week the plant started flourishing‚ the snails and fish started to survive. In the decomposition chamber‚ it housed the entire time we started with leaves and some fruit which decomposed into the soil. When the project was over‚ it was

It can also stand for why one diet is good for one but not the other even though they live in the same culture. The French chose their food that is high in protein and low in fat. This is one reason why they eat snails. If snails are good for your diet why is it that most people in the U. S. find it sickening to eat? (Kwintessential‚ N. D.)East Asians eat dogs and cats. Why do some say that it is not different from Americans eating goat meat? Why is it that the Asians

Organ Systems Project (Digestive‚ Excretory‚ Circulatory‚ Reproductive‚ Nervous) There is an enormous variety of life on our planet Earth ranging from simple cell bacteria to complex multicellular animals. Animals are creatures in the kingdom Animilia‚ one of the kingdoms in Whitakers 5 kingdom system. Their bodies consist of 555tanimal eukaryotic cells. Meaning their cell or cells contain a nucleus‚ are surrounded by a cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer) and can self-reproduce in a free

What changes did you make to your reef tank during the 12 weeks and why did you make them? After I selected my fish‚ I noticed that the tank began to grow algae. The next time I selected fish and invertebrates‚ I chose to add cleaner shrimp and snails to my tank. The pH then started to go up‚ then down‚ and then up again so I added pH buffer solution so the pH could stabilize at 8.1. After that‚ I decided to add water to keep the specific gravity from getting too high and maintaining stable.

The fifth animal disease that is being discussed is an infectious equine virus call Streptococcus equi also known as strangles. Strangles is equine distemper which is a contagious upper respiratory tract infection seen in horses‚ donkeys and mules. This infection is caused by a bacterium called Streptococcus equi and is zootic in domesticated horses worldwide. It is a gram positive bacteria‚ capsulated β-hemolytic Lancefield group C coccus‚ which is an obligate parasite and a primary pathogen

may have no common predators‚ competitors‚ diseases‚ or parasites. These species can overrun an ecosystems and destroy its balance. For example‚ a giant African land snail was introduced to Brazil in 1988. These snails were used as a cheap substitute for escargot‚ but were released into the wild after its price dropped. These snails now inhabit 23 of Brazil’s states and devastate the crops and native plants of the country. Population growth‚ overconsumption‚ pollution‚ and climate change can cause

population. An example of an invasive species is the giant land snails from Africa were introduced widely to serve as garden ornaments in Hawaii. Achatina fulica‚ the land snails‚ were multiplying quickly‚ consuming crops‚ and killing off the native snails. A solution began to rise in the 1950’s to introduce Euglandina rosea‚ rosy wolfsnail‚ to Hawaii. However‚ the plan backfired when the snails decided to attack and eat the native snails.
