...Introduction There are many ways to classify marine organisms. Though there is many ways, there are seven main ways; Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The Firefly Squid, or Watasenia Scintillans is classified as such; Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Mollusca, Class: Cephalopoda, Order: Teuthida, Family: Enoploteuthidae, Genus: Watasenia, Species: Scintillans (https://en.wikipedia.org). The kingdom Animalia refers to the organism being an animal; multicellular, motile (meaning it is able to move on its own and impulsively at some point in its life), and being eukaryotic (https://en.wikipedia.org). The Phylum Mollusca is home to most of the familiar spineless species we know, or invertebrates. This consists of clams, slugs,...

...body length includes its head, body, feeding tentacles, and arms. The Giant Squid is considered to be the largest animal in a few areas: it is the largest known invertebrate, mollusk, and Cephalopod (Vaughan). The largest Giant Squid that has been found was around 43 feet long and weighed around a ton, and the females appear to be around ten feet longer than males, some scientists believe that that is because there are eight different species of giant squid (“Giant Squid”; Roper). Giant Squid not only use their blood to carry oxygen, but they can also contract and expand the two gills on their mantle cavity to breathe. The squid can also be known for not only their size, but for their dark sepia colored ink, having no...

...CONSUMPTION OF FEU - EAST ASIA COLLEGE STUDENTS ON STREET FOODS IN THE VICINITY OF THE SCHOOL A Research Paper Presented to Ms. Fatima S. Foz Far Eastern University – East Asia College Nicanor Reyes Street, Sampaloc Manila In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course ENGL303 – Modern Communication 1 Arvin Arevalo Vincent Buenagua Michael Pepz Datuin Joshua Ofreneo September 2013 Abstract This study is all about street foods served in the vicinity of FEU – East Asia College most commonly known as the ‘hepa lane’. The proponents of this research will also discuss vital information about street foods present in the ‘hepa lane’. Locations of the stalls present in the area will also be tackled including the factors why students indulge themselves to these kind of foods and also on how frequent does a student from the above-mentioned school visits these long stretch of stalls. The recommendations on how to lessen the number of students eating this kind of foods are stated in the last chapter. Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or vendor, often from a portable stall. Most street foods are also classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_food) In the Philippines, particularly in the R. Papa St., selling of street foods is...

...Organism Physiology Paper BIO 101 10/27/2012 Hossam Ashour An organism that I had always found interesting to learn about is a snail. A snail, along with other organisms including clams, mussels, slugs, octopuses, squids and oysters are all in the same group of invertebrates called molluscs. There are two types of molluscs, land and marine molluscs. The purpose of this paper is to identify how molluscs evolve physiologically to become suited to its environment. Molluscs are soft-bodied animals, but most are protected by a hard shell (Dr. Anthoni, 2007). Some molluscs have internal shells that are internal that eventually fall off during the evolution process. One thing that seemed to intrigue me was how snails eat and survive. Snails, like many other molluscs have an organ call radula used to scoop up food. Snails use the radula to cut food into smaller pieces before eating it. In the diagram, the main organs shown are the heart, kidney, lung, genitals, stomach and the liver. One of three main parts of molluscs is the visceral mass which is where most of the internal organs are located. A snail falls under one of three major groups of a mollusc called gastropods. Most of these animals have a protected shell. A snail’s internal organs include the following: lung, digestive organs, a kidney, liver and reproductive organs which most were shown in the diagram of a mollusc. It can be very dangerous for a snail in terms of surviving and evolving. Due to their small size and...

...Dolphins Research Paper Dolphins can use many ways to communicate but they favor at least two. When they are not with their group they are being adventurous. Dolphins love to explore and find new things such as movements and sounds. Their movements depend on the dolphin’s length and weight. The emotions and communication of dolphins are very uncommon in so many animals that people want to find out how smart and intelligent they really are. Dolphins are part of the family of toothed whales that includes orcas and ect. There are so many of these species there is no specific number of the population. Dolphins have a diet that includes squid, fish, etc. The bottlenose dolphins can live up to 40 years while orcas can live up to 70-80 years;...

...Organism Physiology Organism Physiology BIO/ 101 Nov. 30, 2012 University of Phoenix Organism Physiology My paper is going to discuss organism physiology and the basic fundamentals of organism while explaining what my understanding is and what I have learned. In order to better help me understand what organism is I had to first define the meaning. “Organisms are any living thing such as fungus, animals, plants, or micro-organism” (Dictionary.com) in which is a body made up of organs, organelles, along with different other parts that combine together to help continue the process of life. The continuous organisms never stop only cause it is what living things need to live for example the life of a dolphin. Dolphins have been known to be social creatures also being known for their interaction for the purpose of hunting, defense, and reproduction. (Aqua)They are also carnivores that feed on such sea creatures as fish, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, crabs, shrimps, and lobsters as for them; they are mostly food for sharks, killer whales, humans. Most expected age for an normal living Dolphins is said to be around the age of 30 years. Compare to a normal human that’s usually consider a young age. (UnderstandDolphins.com- (Diagram) In looking at the diagram, you see a lot of common factors that most living things have in order to live such as a heart, a brain, bones, and other organs that a body would need to live. As the same as human being animals have certain and...

...pigmented fluid used for writing and drawing, or a viscous compound used for printing (Lagasse, 2014). Ink can be purchased in various colors, although ink could be purchased in different colors the mostly frequently used color in today’s society is black Ink. In the India culture ink is mainly used by artists and architects (Lagasse, 2014). In today’s society ink can serve many purposes such as the ink’s carrier, colorants, and other additives affect the flow and thickness of the ink and its appearance when dry (Ink Compostion Chemical Componet, Petro Chemical, 2014). From my knowledge of history the Egyptians started out by using ink on stones. As history moved on the Egyptians went from using ink on stones to using ink on paper to record their different manuscripts and from their manuscripts books were made. Throughout history, ink has been used for many different things. For instance our founding fathers signed the Constitution with ink. Ink symbolizes stability in society; contrary to pencils the ink in a pen is permanent. Ink has been most beneficial to society because it’s the power of the pen that makes society function. For example, ink is used by our government (President, Congressmen) to put laws into effect and also to change laws. Ink is also used to print our daily newspapers, magazines, posters, books etc. Ink has also been beneficial in society within our workplace. For example, before beginning employment in most of our...

...Rosalind Franklin Research Paper Rosalind Elsie Franklin was born in July 25th, 1920 on Notting Hill, London, England. She came from a family that was very involved in social and public works. Franklin's father wanted to be a scientist, but World War I cut his education short, and therefore, he became a college teacher instead. From an early age Rosalind Franklin was extremely intelligent. By the age of 15 she knew what career path she wanted to follow, being a scientist. However, her father strongly discouraged her interest since it was very difficult for women to have a career in dominantly male field. Though, with her excellent education from St. Paul's Girls' School, one of the few institutions at the time that taught physics and chemistry...

...waters. This bird has a life span of 15-20 years and lives in colonies. Its diet is mainly that of a carnivore. The majority comes from fish. With all the beauty and intriguing life style of this penguin, not all is good. This penguin is in danger. What is causing this danger? It is not any predator in its wild habitat, it’s the effect of human ignorance. Climate change is slowly destroying the ice the penguin lives on. The emperor is on a downward spiral in which extinction is possible at the end of this century. With climate change at a dangerous level, warming may melt sea ice at rates which will decrease its habitat to nothing. With all these dangers there is still more, over fishing by humans is depleting the food source. In this paper I will outline and describe the problems these penguins face. I will also give a brief background on this flightless bird. Emperor is the largest of all penguins—an average bird stands some 45 inches (115 centimeters) tall. Penguins withstand physiological adaptations and cooperative behaviors in order to deal with an incredibly harsh environment, where wind chills can reach -76°F (-60°C)(Van Woert, Michael). They huddle together to escape the wind and reserve the warmth. Individuals take turns moving to the group's protected and relatively warm interior. Once a penguin has warmed a bit it will move to the perimeter of the group so that others can have protection from the icy elements. Emperor penguins spend the long winter on the open...

...Bio 324 12/01/12 Plastics in the ocean Imagine the massive breadth and spread of our great state of Texas. Now imagine every milli-inch of that piled high with trash: bottle caps, cigarettes, cigarette lighters, tampon applicators, plastic nets, discarded flip flops, Frisbees, soda bottles, milk jugs, diapers, six-pack rings, busted tennis rackets, empty pens, shampoo bottles, empty squeeze bottles of jam, you name it. Now take that image, double it, and plunk into the water. That's what is floating around the eastern corner of a 10-million-square-mile oval known as the North Pacific subtropical gyre. Nicknamed the "Eastern Garbage Patch," this buoyant stew of toxic pollution-most of which is plastic-is only one of five such garbage heaps caught in the swirling high-pressure currents characteristic of gyres. The others reside in the South Pacific, the North and South Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean. And each year, perhaps unwittingly, each one of us adds to plastic to the heap. Plastic makes it into our oceans in a variety of ways. About twenty percent of it comes from goods lost from boats: i.e. accidental loss of fishing tackle and other recreational gear, massive shipping containers carrying millions of plastic items washed overboard during severe storms; litter from pleasure boats, or illegal dumping of unwanted goods. Beachgoer’s debris is also a contributor. The other eighty percent is swept in from land. Just as Nonpoint Source Pollution from fertilizers...

...Mackerel Date: 02/18/2012 Physical Description and Habitat - In the Atlantic Ocean there are three fish groups of Mackerel. The (Scomberomorus maculatus) or more commonly referred to as the Spanish mackerel are “mid-level pelagic carnivores” (noaa.gov) that have closely related cousins. The other types of mackerel that are related to the Spanish are the larger but less spotted King mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) - and the (Scomberomorus regalis) known as the Cero mackerel. All types of mackerel are migratory pelagic fish. They inhabit, feed and spawn in areas of the Atlantic spanning from the Gulf of Mexico to Northern parts of the eastern United States. Although there are subtle differences between the three types, this paper will focus mainly on the Spanish mackerel. The male and female Spanish mackerels vary in size. The male usually averages out to a length of about nineteen inches while the larger sized female mackerel can grow as long as thirty three inches (Wikipedia). The Spanish mackerel’s are a stunningly colored fish. They are mainly silver from its head to tail, however the upper back almost glows green, while its sides have layered yellow spots, standing out further due to its mainly black shaded dorsal fin and tail. Mainly looking for prey the mackerel tends to stay in shallower water, sometimes noticed snorkelers and or scuba diving alike close to the shore. Although mackerels growth rate is extremely up to four years of age and then hold...

...today are suspicious of certain changes the rapid advancement of technology has brought about… especially modern man’s growing dependence on the Internet. This reaction is nothing new historically, for there have been alarmists at every turning point in human progress. In Nicholas Carr’s article, “IS GOOGLE MAKING US STIPID?” the author voices this same fear. He writes, “When we read online…….we tend to become mere decoders of information.” Carr shares this argument with Maryanne Wolf, a psychologist at Tufts University and author of “Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the reading Brain”. Carr’s primary concern is that physical changes to the human brain are caused by heavy use of online technology such as Google. He focuses only on changes to a single aspect of brain function, but these changes may not be even as harmful as he fears. While he did good research, and there is no question about his facts, this paper argues that the positive aspects of online reading far outweigh the negative aspects. Speaking at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College on September 28, 2012, Nicholas Carr was quick to acknowledge that Google and the Internet have made many positive contributions to modern life. As a vast and readily available source of information, the Internet has greatly benefited education in particular. Carr’s main concern is that the minds of heavy Internet users may become mere decoders of information, rather than being processors of knowledge...
