Spring 2024 Bio7 Lab 4 — Brine Shrimp & Daphnia they also hatch in the dark? Do they need warm water, or do they require cold conditions? To what extent does salinity play a role in their hatching? What about dissolved oxygen? How might chlorinated water (tap water) have a significant difference on hatching compared to dechlorinated water? Quick Description of Lab Protocol: You will be setting up a control to compare your chosen experimental variable to in order to determine the effects on brine shrimp hatch succegs. You'll get everything set up today, then check back in a week to look for signs of hatching. Thinking Through the Experiment Which question are you most interested in from above paragraph?

L;Sh’r exposue How will you know your brine shrimp hatched/did not hatch because of your chosen test variable? In this experiment, we want everything (except the test variable) to be the same between the control group and the experimental group. > How will you make sure your experiment is as controlled as possible?

How do you think your altered environmental condition will affect hatching? Try writing your hypothesis in an If... then... because... format. Ex: /f we put 1 brine shrimp group in cold water and one in room temperature water (control), then | think fewer eggs will hatch in the cold water because cold slows down the hatching process.

Spring 2024 Bio7 Lab 4 — Brine Shrimp & Daphnia Setting up the Experiment 1. First, set up your control group petri dish. Label one 60mm petri dish “Bio7 Control,” along with your group’s initials. Transfer 10mLs of the mixed marine salt solution into the petri dish. (If salt solution is not pre-mixed, the ratio is 12g [1 Tbsp] of marine salt to 500mL of dechlorinated water) 2. Now, set up your experimental group petri dish. Label your dish “Bio7 Exp,” along with your group’s initials. Alter your water by changing your test variable put 10mL of altered water into your other petri dish. 3. Mark 2 toothpicks at an equal point (6mm from the end) so that each can be used to transfer a relatively equivalent number of eggs. a. For your control, wet a toothpick in the marine salt solution and insert it up to the mark into the packet of brine shrimp eggs. The eggs should stick to your toothpick. Transfer to your petri dish by submerging toothpick in petri dish. b. Repeat these steps for your experimental petri dish using your other toothpick (try to keep everything except your test variable the same!) 4. Cover each petri dish with a lid and seal with tape. Tape the 2 dishes together and put on cart, making sure they are clearly labeled. Record any notes about your set-up here.

Experimental Planaria #1
Cut in half into front (anterior) and rear (posterior)
Day 1
Measuring the Planaria
This operation is best performed by removing some of the water from the dish into the lid with a clean
pipette and waiting for the worm to stretch out. Measure the length of the worm in millimeters. (Always
replace the water right away, you can use the dish lid to transfer water to and from the planarian
environment.)
A. Record the length of the front (anterior) section just AFTER you cut. This is your
INITIAL front length: 5 m m
B. Record the length of the rear (posterior) section just AFTER you cut. This is your
INITIAL rear length: 3mm
C. Observe and record any behavioral responses just after your cut
Day 2
Spend time under the microscope observing the cut Planaria. Answer the following
questions based on your observations. NO measurements will be taken on this day.
a) Are the cut fragments showing signs of regeneration?
b) How did you identify the regenerating portion?…

question: based on the graph, how could you best describe the relationship between the egg size (mass) and the number of eggs?
what would be a reason to observe the relationship between the two?
from what I have read about, there are several factors that can influence both the size and the number of eggs. also, its not just in butterflies where you can have larger eggs but less in quantity or smaller eggs and more in quantity. I'm trying to just figure out what a good reason for the observation would be based on the graph

14. Nematode Life Cycle Matching: Match each of the descriptions below with the correct nematode
worm species (A-D). Note that some descriptions may not apply to any of the 4 species (in which
case just write “none") and some descriptions may apply to multiple worms species (in which case
write the letters of all applicable species).
(A) Dirofilaria (heartworms) (B) Dracunculus (Guinea worm) (C) Ascaris
(D) Hookworms
1. Life cycle includes only a single host
2. The infective stage is a free-living larva that can enter the skin directly
3. On target to become the first parasite-caused human disease to be eradicated
4. Has an arthropod intermediate host
5. Traditional treatment involves winding the female worm around a matchstick
6. Infections can be prevented by not defecating on soill improving sanitation of soil
7. Female lays eggs around the anus of the host
8. Produce microfilaria that circulate in the blood
9. Has multiple larval stages and a snail intermediate host

Lab 10: Kingdom Animalia Introduction Animals all share some characteristics:
1) Multicellular
2) Heterotrophic
3) Their cells have no cell wall
4) At some time in their life they are motile.
There are many phyla within the animal Kingdom, and in this activity, you will explore these phyla by building a dichotomous key that will allow you to consider almost any animal and determine which phylum it belongs to.
Part 1: Organizing information for the dichotomous key 1) List the 9 animal phyla of macroscopic (visible) animals: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nemotoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Chordata. 2) Use on-line or library resources of your choice, to gather information about these 9 phyla.
a. Start by finding two example species per phylum to help tie into your previous knowledge about animal types. Write down these examples.
b. Make a list of characteristics that you could use that would help you tell these 9 phyla apart. The final goal is to build a…

STUDYING 6
Statistical exercise: Corals and Temperature
Science often involves gathering data. The data may be
counts or measurements or lists of species or may take many
other forms; however, it is very common that biological data
can be represented numerically. Raw data are often too repeti-
tive and boring to be appreciated directly. They need to be sta-
tistically summarized. The most ordinary way to get started
on summarizing data is to enter them in a spreadsheet, such
as Excel. Excel also allows one to graph data and do simple
analyses. Today and in future labs, you will use Excel in these
statistical exercise sections; today we will focus on how to cre-
ate and use a spreadsheet.
We will start with data gathered by Hollie Putnam, a stu-
dent interested in understanding how water temperature af-
fected the growth of coral. To determine this, Hollie took cor-
als from their native habitat, where the average water tempera-
