Kendall Montgomery AP Biology Period 1 The Effect of Varying Light Intensities on the Location Preference of Brine Shrimp Hypothesis: If brine shrimp are placed in a chamber with varying light intensities, then they will prefer a chamber with significant light intensity because they need light in order to hatch and develop. Null Hypothesis: If brine shrimp are placed in a chamber with varying light intensities, then they will not have a preference. Procedure: The brine shrimp were placed in

disc out of the frigid Atlantic water. It was the fourth day of a marine biology program at the Shoals Marine Laboratory off the coast of Maine. There, along with twelve other high school students, we learned about a plethora of topics, ranging from the mechanics of oceanic tides to the anatomical differences between a shark and a mackerel. Almost part every day of the first week was spent on a small boat, performing a variety of tasks in the field. We took water samples from various depths using

Some do not know this, but Maine's central trade is not lobsters, for that precise reason, Maine is known as "vacationland" and lobsters accumulate travelers. So in the late spring of 2003, Gourmet Magazine sent the essayist David Foster Wallace to examine the ground zero of lobsters, the Maine Lobster Festival, MLF, in the heart of the mid coast area (wallace). One would envision the article would be a paean to lobsters and the exquisiteness of the Maine coast. Truth be told, Gourmet was a dream

It is suggested that the brine shrimp’s preference for green light is due to their food sources being predominantly green in colour. However brine shrimp are non-selective filter feeders who have no preference in what food they consume as they only consume what food is available to them at the time. This raises the question as to why the brine shrimp have an apparent preferred wavelength of light in this set of results. It could be assumed that the brine shrimp were raised in an environment where

Wilson Hasty The Effect of Nyquil on Daphnia Pulex Water Fleas Research Questions What kind of food does the subject typically eat? Will the subject’s behavior change from the dosage? Will reproduction be affected either negatively or positively? What is the best possible environment for the subjects to live in? How often do they reproduce? Hypothesis If the Daphnia Pulex water fleas consume Nyquil then it will dull the flea's senses over time, and will slowly cause adverse effects, as to

When a body of water such as a lake is dealt with in literature, the concept of baptism floats on the surface. Thomas Foster tackles the concept in chapter eighteen of How to Read Literature Like a Professor. In the chapter, Foster explains that when a character is doused in something two things can happen: they can drown or they can be saved. When the character drowns they die, plain and simple, but when a character is saved they have changed. The character becomes a different person mentally and

epidermis and waxy cuticle prevent water loss and limits transpiration, so that transpiration can only occur in the stomata when the stomata are open and not through the epidermis of the saguaro. Another anatomical adaptation which allows the saguaro to survive in the desert is it's spines, which are modified leaves and are common amongst most cacti plants. The spines of the saguaro protect it from animals that would otherwise eat the saguaro, or use it

My response to This is Water by David Foster Wallace. I originally thought of his speech has boring and I really don’t want to hear this right now. While, listening to his speech he brought up the basic question that everyone must ask themselves. It started with the joke, “What is water?” I immediately thought of the glass half full or empty concept. We can chose to see the world has frustrated, routines, and crowd or we can chose to be happy. We can make the choice to not have this “default” setting
