The Influence Of Honey Bees
The honey bee is a fascinating and important figure for pollinating flowers, fruits, and vegetables, they help other plants grow by transferring pollen between the male and female parts, supporting plants to grow seeds. Honey bees are insects have have three segments of their body, which six of them are visible and the other three parts include: legs, singer, and antenna. Honeybees have a exoframe, which is stiff and contains an overlay of wax, but honeybees do not have internal bones compared to vertebrates. The primary division of the exoframe is the chitin, “a polymer of glucose and can support a lot of weight with very little material” (Huang, Z., 2014). The overlay of wax guards the honey bee from losing water, or “ desiccation”. The advantage of chitin on bees is that, it prevents the bee from growing precedingly, but to shed their skins continuously during the larval stage and to be the same size through the adult stage. …show more content…
Honey bees breathe from a multiplex arrangement of chain of tracheas and their air sacs. Oxygen is transferred from the through the opened spiracles of each individual segments and compressed into individual tubules from individual cells. With the help of air sacs the spiracles close and the compressed air reaches the smaller sizes of the tracheas until they reach the cells. Wings of the honey bees allow them to fly up to three miles from the hive and up to fifteen miles per hour. Their compound eyes help them see in virtually all directions and the eye is separated into 6,500 faucets, but they cannot perceive the color red as for humans; they see red as black. Their antennas are a sensitive sector, containing smell and taste

    Red Beets Betalains

    • 200 Words

    Betalains, incandescent tints made using an amino acid called tyrosine, gives beets their vibrant red hue. Plants modify tyrosine by adding other molecules to create other substances, such as morphine in the opium poppies. A tyrosine-making enzyme stays on longer in beets when it is supposed to turn off after a certain amount is made. This is likely the crucial change that beets needed to develop their signature red coloring. At first, there would have been no use for the extra tyrosine. However, at a later stage in their evolutionary history, red beets developed enzymes that made use of the extra tyrosine, creating its red pigment. Research suggests that betalains may help plants weather stress and perhaps attracted pollinators with their…

They were brought to southern Brazil, and have spread as far south as Northern Argentina, and northward throughout South and Central America, and Mexico. They entered the United States in southern Texas in 1990, Arizona and New Mexico in 1993, and California in 1994(Ellis 2009).
