Alohan Period 5/6 Mr. Cueter AP Biology Lab Report Investigation 12: Fruit Fly Behavior Abstract: In the lab that was conducted‚ students were supposed to examine the tendencies of fruit flies‚ specifically Drosophila’s‚ to move toward or away from important stimuli that aide in their survival‚ also known as taxis. Another objective for this lab was to identify the patterns and relationships between environmental factors and a living organism

An animals behavior is its response to external and internal stimuli Ethology is the scientific study of animal behaviour‚ particularly in natural environments. Behavioral ecology is the study of the ecological and evolutionary basis for animal behavior A fixed action pattern is a sequence of unlearned‚ innate behaviors that is unchangeable - red stickle back fish Oriented movement- environmental cues can trigger movement in a particular direction Kinesis- simple change in activity

Small Animal Metabolism Materials: 3 Gerbils (8‚ 24‚ 17) Cage Circular Tube 2 Plugs Brown Paper Towel Weight and Balance Soap Solution Drierite Glass Pipette Metal Poker Procedure Our hypothesis for the Small Animal Metabolism lab was that the gerbil will consume oxygen at a greater rate than a mouse because the gerbil is larger in size. To begin this experiment we obtained a gerbil from a specific cage and weighed it on a balance. After we had weighed the gerbil‚ we inserted

Mimicry‚ Ambivalence‚ and Hybridity Daniel Dafoe’s 1719 novel‚ Robinson Crusoe‚ is a rich text for understanding the mechanisms of European colonialism and the relation between the colonizer and the colonized (represented by Crusoe and Friday). Dafoe represents Crusoe as being the ultimate incarnation of an Englishman: industrious‚ self-determining and ready to colonize natives. Crusoe encounters a native and he names him Friday‚ teaches him English‚ the words of God‚ and slowly “civilizes”

Wasp Mimicry Mimicry‚ essentially‚ is some type of resemblance between two unrelated organisms which improves the organisms’ chances of survival against a common predator. This resemblance can be seen in warning signs‚ typically visually with colors and patterns‚ but organisms can also have resemblances in smells and many other traits that deceive the predator into believing the insect is something that it’s not‚ saving the insect’s life. Mimicry typically involves three things: a model‚ a mimic
