Abstract In this experiment‚ the preferences of mealworms towards lighted and dark environments were tested. The main question posed was whether the behavior of the mealworms would be affected by the variable of light‚ and whether they would move towards or away from the light source (taxis). We placed ten mealworms into two adjoining containers and tried to simulate the effects of above ground and underground by exposing the mealworms to minimal amounts of light in one of the containers (underground)

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of ethanol on the cellular respiration of mealworms. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells harvest the energy stored in food. It is the intake of oxygen and energy in the form of glucose‚ and the cells ability to break it down into carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and energy required for the body to function. More scientifically‚ it is a three-step pathway that produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate.) The three stages of cellular

Mealworms eating Potatoes Report What will gain mass? What will lose mass? What color did the BTB change? What are atoms moving from? Where are they moving to? I predicted that the potato would lose mass‚ and the mealworms would gain mass. I predicted that the BTB would lose mass. My last prediction was that the atoms are moving from the potato and into the mealworms. Steps for our procedure: 1.)Get container deep enough so mealworms can’t crawl out‚ with holes for them to breathe. 2.)Record container

The objective of the mealworm experiment was to see if the mealworms would gain weight in either peat moss or wheat germ. The experiment included weighing Mealworm A and Mealworm B before putting Mealworm A in wheat germ and Mealworm B in peat moss both for 7 days. After a week they were weighed again and Mealworm A had lost weight and Mealworm B had gained . This concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected since only Mealworm B gained weight.

They eat dry leaves‚ grass‚ dead insects and other animals. They will not eat sound wood. They carry a disease called gastrointestinal infestations‚ which is highly dangerous when consumed by humans. They are yellow mealworm for only a short 6 to 18 days. Mealworms are more likely to be in the northern cooler states. They are believed to be

Scientific Method - Mealworms Abstract The experiment is designed to determine which substrate‚ A (oat bran) or B (peat moss) will be better nourishment for a mealworm after exposed for 7 days. A total of 30 mealworms were placed in the substrates for a period of 7 days; 15 in substrate A and 15 in substrate B. The data was compiled and analyzed on day 7 to determine the change of mass in each of the mealworms. The experiment proved my hypothesis to be correct; the mealworms would not thrive

My hypothesis is cold mealworms will have a slower metabolism. Materials and Methods For this experiment‚ you will need: 1. Two glass tubes with a diameter of 4mm and 20cm in length 2. Three live Mealworms 3. Wire rod 4. Cotton 5. Potassium hydroxide 6. Motor Oil 7.

Analysis Growth of Mealworms Abstract The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourishment for a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth. The conclusion that there was a difference
