How to make a crab shell see-through 30 November 2011 Researchers in Japan have made a crab shell transparent. Then, using knowledge gained from this activity, they created a transparent nanocomposite sheet, incorporating powdered chitin from crab shells. The nanocomposite could have applications in devices that need a high light transmittance, such as flat panel displays. Scientists have previously used cellulose from plants and chitin to strengthen materials, giving biologically-inspired nanocomposites

Question:Will adjusting the pH of a marine environment to acidic neutral or basic, affect the lifespan of brine shrimp? Hypothesis: If I adjust the pH of a brine shrimp environment, then the environment with the lowest pH will have the shortest lifespan. Research: Brine shrimp are fresh water invertebrates. Adult male shrimp grow up to 0.3-0.4 inches long, while females grow up to 0.4-0.5 inches. They are capable of surviving in fresh and slightly brackish water. Scientist

The Effect of Calcium on Hatching Brine Shrimp Eggs science fair project will investigate how the addition of various amounts of calcium to brine shrimp eggs will affect their hatch rates. I was drawn to this area because I have an interest in how several outside factors can affect the nature of a process. My hypothesis for this lab is that the larger amount of calcium added into a petri dish will result with a faster hatching rate due to the extra nutrients. The independent variable of this lab

Crayfish have traditionally served as model organisms for studying the physiology and development of decapod crustaceans as well as a wide variety of other animals (Vogt 2008). The relatively easy access to the heart as well as the ability of the organism to remain alive for about 30 minutes after being dissected makes it a viable candidate for studying the circulatory system in a living organism. Decapods, such as crayfish, have an open circulatory system, which differs from vertebrate closed systems

Abstract The desert hedgehog gene is a key gene to the human reproductive system. It plays a vital role in the development of important sexual organs. Along with the other hedgehog proteins, the hedgehog protein family and signaling pathway are also important to the overall development of many parts and systems of the human body. Each protein within the family has its own role to play in overall expression of cells and growth. There are a total of three proteins within the family; the Indian hedgehog
