Materials and Methods This experiment required 30 Alaskan Pea seeds, 3 pots (4 1/16in x 2in), two 60in Vigoro Sturdy Bamboo Plant Stakes, one API Nitrate (〖NO〗_3^( -))Test Kit, one API Phosphate (PO_4^(-3)) Test Kit, half of one bag of 3.7L bag of Earthgro: The Natural Choice Potting Soil, 10 Red Wriggler Earthworms (Eisenia foetida), 2 mesh strainers (1 small, 1 big), one 400mL beaker, 4 glass tubes, one 12in ruler, Garden Clippers, Greenhouse, Greenhouse Thermometer, Greenhouse Watering Can, and a Sink, 4 Paper Towels, and a 3inx2in rectangular container. I labeled the 3 pots with orange tape, 1 was labeled experimental phosphate, 1 was labeled experimental nitrogen and the last one was labeled control. First I obtained 3 pots and one 3.7L…

Summary: It is a Friday in the ghetto, Craig lost his job because they caught him on camera stealing boxes out of the store. He has to pay to live in the house with his parents so this really makes thing tough on him. He also has a bestfriend named Smokey. Smokey is supposedly a drug dealer but he smokes up all of his product, So he owes this guy named Big Worm money. Smokey goes over to Craig’s house. Craig tells him how he got fired and everything and so then they sit on the porch to hang and talk. Then Smokey tries to convince him to smoke with him. Knowing he owes Big Worm money. He goes ahead and goes along with it so now they smoke more of Big Worm product. So, little while after Big worm tells Smokey he needs his money or his product…
The green stink bug is considered a pest to most people, but most people don’t know about it. The stink bug has a bright green color with narrow sides and can be spotted or striped. These marking can be black, yellow, white, or red. It has bilateral symmetry, where a line can be drawn down the middle and each side looks the same. From the tip of the head to the tail end, the size varies between 13mm-19mm and it has an oval like shape.…

The circulatory system is important in circulating blood, nutrients, oxygen and chemicals to the body. A circulatory system commonly consists of the fluid it contains, such as blood, a pumping vessel such as a heart, and the vessels, which carry the fluid through the body. In a closed circulatory system, the fluid, blood, is contained within the vessels as it circulates through the body. The Lumbriculus variegates, or blackworm, is commonly found in stagnant water along the edges of marshes and ponds. Blackworms have a closed circulatory system, which in the blackworm includes a large dorsal blood vessel [1]. Glucose is the most common carbohydrate and is classified as a monosaccharide and is a reducing sugar. Glucose is called blood sugar as well because it circulates in the blood. When blood glucose is high, the pancreas releases insulin, which then helps to transport glucose into muscle or liver cells. There, it's used for energy. If there's more glucose present than needed, insulin helps the glucose to be stored in adipose tissues as fat for potential future energy needs. One immediate effect of the breakdown and conversion of glucose into cellular energy is an increased metabolism, which can manifest itself in the form of increased heart rate, high blood pressure or some other form of arousal such as heightened mental alertness [4].…
Crinoids, commonly known as ‘sea lilies’, are marine echinoderms that first appear in the fossil record in marine sediments deposited approximately 530 million years ago during the Cambrian Period and were very abundant during the Palaeozoic Era.…
The unknown bacteria A and bacteria B have to be identified by its genus and species. First both bacteria had to be inoculated into a TSA agar media using the streak plate method. Four quadrants were drawn, so that the bacteria could be isolated as much as possible. Each bacteria was inoculated into two different plates, so that one could be incubated at 37 degrees Celsius and the other at 25 degrees Celsius. Bacteria B, which was incubated at room temperature showed red colonies throughout its media. This identified it as the gram-negative bacteria Serratia marcescens, but further tests had to be conducted to fully confirm. Bacteria A showed a white opaque growth in both of its plates.…
Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs, tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy, resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish), compete for food, survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the ability to regenerate these claws over time if they are lost or damaged. The motives and forms of regeneration in crayfish have evolved due to many factors. The effects that regeneration has are linked to the various needs that have evolved in the…
Medicinal maggots have at least two confirmed beneficial effects on wounds that can be supported by laboratory investigations. They are debridement, or elimination of necrotic tissue, and removal of pathogenic bacteria. There is moreover, evidence from recent studies that they may also accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of granulation tissue as suggested by the early literature,…

Many different species of bacteria look similar under the microscope and also have the same staining results (ex. Gram stain). To be able to differentiate between the different species, one can look at the metabolic differences (fermentation), as well as the environmental condition differences (temperature, pH, oxygen requirements). Being able to manipulate these conditions in a controlled environment can help to correctly identify the exact bacteria. Different media can be used to culture and identify bacteria.…
Pinworms are the most common type of worm infection, estimating that 10% of the population in the Untied States is infected and 30% of children worldwide. Pinworms are usually easily treated but the infection itself is very easily spread, making it persistent. This small…
