Compare And Contrast The Adaptations Of Jellyfish

226 Words1 Page

There are three adaptations that jellyfish use in the water. One of these adaptations is being transparent. Transparent is able to see threw and how they use this is they make themselves less visible to predators don 't get them. Another adaptation is their stinging cells. The jellyfish uses their stinging cells to stun their prey and pull them up into their mouth. The last adaptation is diffusing oxygen. They can defuse oxygen from around them to survive under water. Jellyfish like to live in warm waters. They can sense when the water is colder because of their feeling. They know when the water is not right for them and they will not be able to adapt to that area, so they move along to find warmer waters. Another sense that the jellyfish use

Roughly 34 million people in Canada and the United States live in the great lakes basin, and also 35 000 plants and animals, over 170 of those being fish, inhabit the great lakes (Zimmermann).

  • 'The Rip' By Robert Drewe Analysis

    178 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the short story, “The Rip”, author Robert Drewe uses the idea of Sophie holding a jellyfish “at arms length” to display how she is becoming wary of her father, John, and is keeping him distanced from herself. he reassures her, as if he was trying to reassure himself that their relationship will not become an “anecdote”, but a reality. John is thinking about how he wants to be freed from his emotional turmoil, and how badly he wants to spend this quality time with his daughter and protect her. This “protection” is symbolised by the shark attack (the divorce of John and his wife), and the fear running through everyones minds. This makes the reader feel as if John is putting pressure on himself to make Sophie like him.

  • The Cambrian Explosion

    794 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many scientists believe vision played an instrumental role during the Cambrian period and believe it to be the only thing that triggered the explosion. Before the Cambrian period, microorganisms could only sense light. With the development of eyes, predators could precisely target and catch their prey. For example, the five eyed Opabinia was a small critter that had five eyes making it very effective to target its prey. As a direct result of this ecological relationship between predator and prey, many soft bodies, organisms were forced to create difference defensive mechanism such as hard shells, scales, and spikes to cover the outside of the body as well as spinal cord and different swimming parts enabling them to swim rapidly away from predators.

  • Respiration And Crayfish

    146 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many organisms use energy to perform their cellular functions. That energy comes from the energy that is stored in food then converted to adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP can be obtained with or without oxygen, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a by-product while anaerobic respiration produces Ethanol (C2H6O) or Lactic acid (C3H6O3). In aerobic respiration the “CO2 produced during cellular respiration can combine with water to produce carbonic acid.”

  • Crayfish Digestion System Essay

    422 Words  | 2 Pages

    Unlike the human digestion system, crayfish have a rather simple system. Starting with the mouth, food is ingested and passed into the cardiac stomach via the esophagus. In this first stomach food is stored until it is passed into the pyloric stomach; filled with small “teeth” like structures. Once ground the food is handed out to the intestine, where nutrient is absorbed into the blood vessels and taken around the body. After the intestine, the excess waste is removed through the anus.

  • Goldfish Temperature Regulation

    The lack of breaths per minute as the temperature is decreased indicates that goldfish are ectothermic organisms. Although other environmental factors may play a small role in the respiration rate of aquatic ectotherms, the experiment provided evidence that water temperature was greatly responsible. The biological significance of the experiment was that scientists may conclude that many other freshwater fish become inactive during the winter months due to the drop in water temperature. The results of the experiment may be applied to the real world by concluding that perhaps water temperature is responsible for why sport fishing in Louisiana occurs predominantly in the spring and summer months; the water is warmer and the fish require more food to maintain their respiration and metabolism. This experiment could have been adapted or modified to show that as respiration rate decreases, so does the fish’s metabolism

    The nostrils are closed when the great mammal is under water to prevent internal drowning. As well as this, the hollow hairs (guard hairs) acts as a wetsuit. The blubber (fatty layer) keeps the bear warm as it moves through the freezing cold water. Polar bears are strong and fast swimmers and can obtain a swimming speed of approximately 10 kilometers per hour. This is a useful adaptation that helps them speedily escape when hunted by

    Marine organisms are animals, plants, and other living things that live in the ocean. A Marine biologist is a scientist who studies marine organisms and studies the bodies, behavior, and the history of marine organisms. They also study how marine organisms interact with each other and their environment. I have chosen to research about Marine biology because I would like to learn about sea life, the ocean, and its surrounding environment. To start off, a Marine biologist might study coral, crabs, fish, microscopic marine organisms, sea stars, seaweed, squid, or whales.

    The bullfrog and the crayfish are similar and different in many different ways. To start off the crayfish is in the phylum arthropoda, they are invertebrates, and they can be classified as a cheliped which is a shellfish with one large claw and one tiny claw. Bullfrogs are in the phylum chordata and they are vertebrates. Both animals can be found in streams and ponds but bullfrogs can also be found in marshes but crayfish cannot. Bullfrogs reproduce externally which is when the egg is fertilized outside the female's body and then they drop off egg sacks full of tiny tadpoles.
