An Animal Called Ant. Fachry Ardani People define ant as the smallest animal on earth. Although they are small‚ ants almost colonized almost every landmass on earth. Ants are very social insect‚ they form a group to build their own nest and search for foods while most of each nests consisted of one ant queen on every colony and thousands of ant workers. Most of the humans consider ant as a diligent and genius creatures‚ but apparently we have been looking at ant intelligence the wrong way

Exercise 1 Polymers – An introduction to Organic Chemistry Group 3 Jude Marchoni C. Tampus Meryl Marie Susan Chua Pearl Pontillas Paolo Pepito Gaia Casas I. Abstract: (Paolo) In this experiment we will be testing what would happen to the polymer when we add borax to it. A polymer is a compound made up of large molecules often in a solid state. Polymers are chemically formed by 100 to 10‚000 small molecules called "monomers". Monomers occur in molecular units or patterns

typically spend thirty to ninety days in their larvae stage. They molt anywhere from nine to twenty times‚ before becoming pupa and finally‚ adults. On average‚ Mealworms are an inch long. They have a cylinder-like shape and have a yellow-brown exoskeleton. Mealworms are somewhat hardened so that they can burrow. They also have a segmented body‚ six legs‚ and two antennae. Mealworms are nocturnal‚ but are also active during the

Dr. Randy Schekman graduated from the university of California‚ LA in 1971 for molecular biology and got his Ph.D. in biochemistry at Stanford University in 1975. Now he is currently working at the university of California as a professor of cell and development biology and also works at the Howard Huges Medical Institute Investigator. His main focus for his research is in the molecular description of the process of membrane assembly and vestibular movement in the eukaryotic cells. His interest

We’re All Human According to Brian Schwimmer‚ “kinship is constructed from a set of categories‚ groups‚ relationships‚ and behaviors based upon culturally determined beliefs and values concerning human biology and reproduction.” (Schwimmer‚ 1996) This definition resonates with me because it has the influx of the sociobiology and relativist perspective on the subject. Faubion describes kinship as “…illustrative of the constitution of intersubjectivity‚ of organized alterity…” (Faubion‚ 2001) which

Structure of Gaseous Exchange Surfaces in Humans‚ Fish‚ Insects and Frogs Gaseous Exchange is a biological process where oxygen diffuses into the body or bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the body or blood stream. This process is different for Humans‚ Fish. Frogs and Insects. Humans: In humans the gas exchange system is known as the Respiratory system. The respiratory surface is the Alveoli located on Bronchial tubes inside of the lungs. The average human adult has about 600 million

The first form is known as a polyp‚ which is sessile (anchored to one spot). The polyps are tubular in shape‚ with the mouth‚ often lined with tentacles‚ facing upwards. The bodies often contain a type of skeleton that may surround the tissues (exoskeleton) or be surrounded by the tissues (endoskeleton). These skeletons may be composed of minerals like calcium carbonate‚ and/or may consist of organic material such as chitin. Polyps also have a hydrostatic skeleton‚ where the muscles in the endoderm
