1. In England, “daddy long legs” refers to a long-legged fly, but the same name refers to a spider-like animal in the United States. How do scientists attempt to avoid such confusion? Illustrate these two organisms specifying which “daddy long legs” they represent and give the correct scientific name for each one. Tipula sp. Pholcus phalangioides Metaphalangium albounilineatum Image: http://www.burkemuseum.org/blog/myth-daddy-longlegs-kind-spider Scientists gave a different…

Think upon what befell those creatures whom did contrarily; rased and trampled into obscurity. To be sans a sense of diligence, kingdoms and phylums would see to a cessation of existence. Sedulity is essential to life. Wordsmiths in eras far in principle from today have told tales speaking of akin conclusions. Playwright William Shakespeare, in The Tragedy of Macbeth, opined ont the kindred of…

processes of life. As endangerment is concerned, these creatures need lots of love and help from the mankind as they suffer a horrific disease. The Tasmanian Devils is characterized by an exclusive hierarchy which goes as follows: Kingdom: anamalia Phylum: cordata Class: mammalia Order: dasyuromorphia Family: dasyuridae Genus: sarcophilus Species: harrisii Each level in the hierarchy describes something about the Tasmanian Devil. It is in the Kingdom animalia classifying it as an animal.…

kinesis. Chi-Squared test will also be calculated in order to determine whether the observed results were due to chance or preference. Terrestrial isopods are commonly known as pillbugs, sowbugs, or “roly-pollies”. These organisms are members of the Phylum Arthropoda, Class Crustacea. Isopods are omnivores that generally feed on decaying material, algae, moss and bark. Because isopods respire through gills, they are more restricted to areas with high humidity, particularly under rocks or logs,…

The critter that I have is the Danaus Plexippus, more commonly known as the monarch butterfly. Every monarch butterfly is bright orange with white spots on it. To the left is a picture of a monarch butterfly. It is also shown in its natural habitat, any type of tropical forest. They need to live in a tropical forest because they need to be in a warm climate in order for them to survive. Furthermore, accordinging to BioKids, “Monarch butterflies are found in North America, South America, the…

(Lariviere, 2015). Red foxes are part of Kingdom Animalia, which means it is an animal that is multicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryotic, and mobile. In the Classification hierarchy of the red fox, Phylum Chordata comes after Kingdom Animalia. Chordata means that the organism has a backbone. After Phylum is Class Mammalia, then Order Carnivora, and then Family Canidae, which includes coyotes, dogs, foxes, jackals, and wolves. After Family, there is the Genus Vulpes, and lastly species vulpes.…

Do Cnidarians replace their stinging cells once used? Many people are familiar with the Jellyfish sting. When a jellyfish brushes against someone and they feel pain, they are feeling the cells along the jellyfish's tentacles referred to as cnidocytes. These cells harbor tiny projectiles full of venom, called nematocysts. There are many questions about the sting of the jellyfish, the structures involved, and the venom delivered. Specifically, do Cnidarians possess any capabilities of…

We have been able to observe marine organism in the clade Littorinimorpha in the three tides zones high, mid, and low each have their own ecological niche for marine organisms. But there is some marine life that are able to live in patchiness within zones and thrive in more than one. The high intertidal zones are home to marine life that are more tolerant to air, like barnacles (Ricketts et al. 1968). The mid zone includes higher low water and lower low water, which can be indicated by limpets…

Planaria are triploblastic acoelmate flatworms that inahabit marine and terrestrial environments and belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes. Though they are relatively complex creatures, as they possess an extremely branched gastrovascular cavity, a brain, hermaphroditic reproductive abilities, Planaria are best known for their regenerative capabilities (Rink, 2012). This is not a recent discovery, however. Peter Simon Pallas first described this regeneration 230 years ago in 1766, and Dalyell…

Introduction. Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years Subclass Elasmobranchii: Sharks and Rays are classified in the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Chondrichthyes(Greek, chondr- 'cartilage', ichthys 'fish'), and Class Elasmobranchii. Elasmobranchs are fish which all share one main characteristic: cartilaginous skeletons. There are over 1,000 species of elasmobranchs ranginging from great white sharks, to spotted rays to sawfish to skates. Sharks and rays are the…
