The Effects of Insects on Carnivorous Plants Digestion process of Venus Fly Trap Siddarth Pillai Hour 3 Honors Biology The Effect of Insects on Venus Fly Traps Research Question: How long does it take for a venus fly trap to digest an insect? I. Introduction: Venus Fly Traps are both heterotrophs and autotrophs meaning that they create their own food and get food from other insects. The Venus flytrap is known as the Dionea muscipula; it is a carnivorous plant native to the swamplands of North

Cow - Eye Dissection Lab Report Name: Eli Wilson Group #: 1 Group Members: Anthony Sophia Emily Specimen Name: Cow Eye Purpose: To look at the different parts in the cow eye. Materials: A laptop A lab notebook Pencil or pen Background: There are many critical parts of the eye that help you see. There are many parts of the eye that help you interpret images: the cornea‚ lens‚ retina‚ iris‚ and optic nerve. The optic nerve takes in light from the retina and send it’s to the brain. When

Drosophila melanogaster and how they respond to different stimuli and repellents‚ the research members decided to use mutant fruit flies‚ for this reason they lacked wings‚ making their manipulation simpler. In order to carry out this study it was necessary to first obtain an adequate number of flies to observe them throughout the weeks. The research members had the flies accompanied with larvae in stock vials‚ and later transferred these into a new vial containing a medium. After two weeks‚ when the

AP Lab Seven Genetics of Organisms Dan Torres AP Biology Block 1 January 24‚ 2011 Introduction & Background Fruit flies have made a huge contribution towards knowledge about genetics‚ but for most people‚ they are just annoying insects that are attracted to their fruit. Their scientific name is Drosophila melanogaster‚ and to scientists‚ they have been a key to understand many principles of heredity including sex linked inheritance‚ epistasis‚ multiple alleles‚ and gene mapping.

Fruit Fly Lab Alycia Fletcher Biology IB HL March 25th 2010 Fruit Fly Lab Introduction Genes can either be sex-linked or autosomal. If a gene appears mostly in one sex chances are the gene is sex-linked and if it appears frequently in both sexes it is most likely autosomal. Using Drosophila melanogaster‚ also known as the fruit fly‚ we will determine whether the gene is sex-linked or autosomal. Drosophila melanogasters have a relatively short life span and are an excellent organism

During an experiment‚ there was a glass eye dropper placed into a bottle filled to the brim with water with the cap closed. The glass eye dropper floated in the bottle when the bottle was left alone. When the bottle was squeezed‚ however‚ the glass dropper sunk to the bottom. When the pressure was released from the bottle‚ the dropper floated back to the top of the bottle. The dropper floated at the top of the bottle when no pressure was applied‚ because the air inside the dropper was less dense

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. Students are supposed to use two bottles to allow the flies to choose which

Cassie Browne Anthony Lulgjuraj Fly Lab Report Friday 9:30am Mutation #620 X Mutation #644 1) The vial labeled Mutation #620 contained female flies that displayed a mutation in eye color. This mutation causes a change in eye pigment from wild type (bright red) to a dark‚ reddish brown. The males possessed mutation #644. It is a mutation in wing morphology that reduces wing size. A controlled cross was conducted between these two true-breeding mutant flies. Their progeny (F1) being heterozygous for

How did the universe originate and evolve to produce the galaxies‚ stars‚ and planets we see today? How did we get here? In order to understand how the Universe has changed from its initial simple state following the Big Bang (only cooling elementary particles like protons and electrons) into the magnificent Universe we see as we look at the night sky‚ we must understand how stars‚ galaxies and planets are formed. There are many questions associated with the creation and evolution of the major
