Number 1: Explain why covering and refrigerating food helps to reduce spoilage from moulds.
2: One arm of a sea star with part of the central disk attached can grow into a complete sea star. Sea stars are considered a nuisance by people who raise oysters. A sea star can attach iself to an oyster's shell, open it, and eat the contents. In the past, oyster farmers tried to destroy the sea stars by cutting them into pieces and throwing them back into the ocean. What do you think was the outcome of this action?
# 3: a. What is meristem?
b. What is the role of these cells in asexual reproduction of plants?
2.a. Explain and give an example of how plants can reproducefrom roots, stems, and leaves.
b. Why are the plants produced by these methods considered to be identical to the parent plant?
Thats it, lol. Thanks! :) if u take the time to help me, its hugely appreciated.
Need help with science homework! lol, thanks?
1. Ask yourself what are molds and what causes molds, and you'll have your answer.
2. The first sentence pretty much says it all, don't you think?
3. I don't know this one, you'll have to consult your textbook or try to do your homework yourself.
Reply:1) It really doesn't. Mold spores are deposited on the food before the wrap was placed and mold likes cold. It even rhymes.
2) Sea stars continue to eat oysters.
3) This is a trick question. Plants do not have meristems.
Now go get that a+
Reply:1. Covering food reduces the number of mold spores that the food is exposed to, while refrigerating food slows the growth of mold.
2. You're allowed a little room for thought here, but it seems that all the farmers did was create more sea stars.
3. Check the wikipedia article for sources on these answers.
a. A meristem is where the plant grows. These are usually found in roots and shoots.
b. Because plants can grow from these cells, these cells are used to start asexual plant reproduction.
2. look this one up yourself.
b. All the genetic material used to create the new plants was taken from one plant, and this material was not combined in any way with other genes. Thus, all the new plants have the same genetic material as the plant they were created from.
Reply:1. Mold is air born so if you cover the food it is less likely to contaminate.
2. If a sea star can grow out of one arm and the arms are thrown in the water, I can only conclude that mass reproduction occurred.
3.a. not sure about meristem. I can only assume that it has something to do with being able to reproduce asexually.
2a. If you cut a part of a pothos household plant and put it in water, it will grow roots and more leaves. b. Considered identical because it is the same plant.

Do you think a small inland sea could help places like australia or africa?
I have thought about the benefits of an inland sea area that could be artificially constructed in desert areas.
A sea that had no sharks or very large predators could be a thriving dinnerplate to the surrounding locals and a breeding ground for caviarre and pearls.
It would have the advantage of whatever trees you can get to grow in its locality. By continually having a flow in and out- there could be electricity produced and as it would be free- hence the overheads on any de-salination plant - would be greatly reduced.
Australia has a problem with its native peoples that could be controlled or maybe even eliminated by offering the work to these people and as much guidance as necessary.
If they were offered the first residency and control of fishing and oyster farms etc - it could be a step in helping these people move toward the future instead of early graves-I believe they have a life expectancy of around 60yrs and less due to oppression and depression.
Can anyone help?

Check out the Salton Sea in California.
The Salton Sea as it exists today is the aftermath of a man-made environmental disaster that occurred between 1905 and 1907, when improper management of irrigation routes from the Colorado River caused the river to flow unchecked into the Salton Sink for some two years.
But forget that the salton sea is a great place and there's talk about bringing in ocean water and making it navigable by oceangoing ships. This would inprove the economy of the area. It is one of the premire bird habitats in the world. If the same conditions were available in Africa or Austrailia I'm sure a similar project could be undertaken. The salton sea did not cost anything but allowing the water to flood the area for two years.
I also bring your attention to the fact that salt is a necessary staple in the sahara and may provide part of a sustainable economy.
If you read about Ghandi and the British salt tax in india you would understand how important salt is to a person living on $.50 per day in Chad.

Africa is split along one side by the East African Rift. It happened with Madagascar 50 million years ago when it slowly split off the continent, and the eastern part of Africa is currently slowly splitting away from the remainder of the continent. Currently, water is percolating into that region through fissures. Madagascar has a wetter climate, maybe that eastern portion will also get a wetter climate.
One practical problem that is faced, though, is movement of water through that region is limited. The evaporation of water is fast, but water can't escape any other way, so the water gets so salty it precipitates different salts, such as sodium carbonate. Those deposits are a source of income for local peoples as they collect them and sell them to processing plants that purify them and sell them as industrial supply chemicals.
By doing a rather limited amount of canal-digging, those low-lying regions made by the East African Rift could be flooded pretty quickly. Your question is really pretty realistic for Africa. But......I'm afraid that we'd pretty much end up with a landlocked lake where water flows in, evaporates, and doesn't have sufficient outflow. We'd end up with a really huge soda lake, not a developing ecosystem.
Nice question, and doable, actually, but I'm afraid you'd be very disappointed with the results until a few million years could go by to open up that rift far enough that water can actually flow through enough to keep the salinity similar to the ambient ocean salinity of 4%.
Reply:This is the perfect example of a pipe dream. The costs involved of building any such project would far outweigh any benefits. How would the water flow in and out? How would you keep the water in the "sea" and stop it eroding the land? How do you know any marine life would flourish in artificial surroundings? How would you deal with contamination? - Yes -it's a crazy idea. Wonder how long before a government invests in it!!!

Reply:Collecting the points while offering kudos for some of the thoughtful analysis above. Undoubtedly a pipe dream, but a noble one and it triggered an interesting discussion of the benefits of an inland sea.
Reply:It would need to be a large sea or several smaller 'lakes'.
I doubt you could keep predators out as 'crocks' and the like are mobile and nature has a way of introducing predators despite our pathetic interventions.
You would also face difficulties from both the native people who would once again see the way of life being subsumed for the 'greater good' as viewed by someone else's perspective despite their own Milena of history, plus the conservationists would point out you are destroying the natural habitat of a wide range of dessert species of animals and plants.
The best thing we can do in some cases is to recognise if we stop interfering in the balance of their 'world' they can get along fine without us
Reply:No doubt an inland sea in places like Australia would be beneficial, just as the Sea of Galilee has been for thousands of years. However the problem is,where are you going to get the water from in the middle of a desert?

I usually go beyond the whole animal cruelty thing when I have to get down to defending myself. Brain or no brain, the ammount of fishing that goes on(for clams, oysters or other types of seafood) screws with our eco-system. You can do some reasearch on this is you feel the need to learn more. When we removes entities that are natually occuring in a specific place(clams in the ocean), we screw up a balance. Over farming crops isn't neccessarily the best. Everything comes in moderation. I don't really know whether the little guys have brains or feelings either, but I don't want to support an industry that blows our planet out of whack.
Reply:Tell them you don't eat them because they taste like fishy rubber bands(clams) or look too much like snot(oysters). Maybe you don't eat them because the can carry hepatitis? It's harder to argue with you if you just pass it off as "I don't like the taste."

Can ethical vegetarians eat certain sea-life?
Some sea-life don't have nervous systems advanced enough to feel pain and also don't have brains and thus have no consciousness (much like the way most plant-life works), but they're still living creatures, even if they don't realise it, so can someone who is vegetarian purely because of the ethics of eating animals eat certain sea-life like clams, oysters, etc.?
Can ethical vegetarians eat certain sea-life?
If you eat fish that makes you a semi-vegetarian. Clams and oysters still feel pain. I remember when I went to the U.S virgin islands I collected a bunch of tiny thumbnail sized mussels and kept them in a cup of salt water. I left the cup in the sun while I went out to swim and soon when I came back the water was super hot so I dumped them back into the ocean and you should have seen how fast they dug into the wet ,cool ,and salty sand. They were obviously glad to be relieved from the heat. I seriously had never seen mussels dig that fast until that particular incident. To me it would be even scarier to die in a pot of boiling water if I had no eyes. Like clams.

Reply:No. Vegetarians don't eat any animals.
Reply:Other animals are often harmed during the harvesting or collection of sea life. These other non-target organisms are called by catch and are often thrown dead or dying back into the ocean. Often the ratio of by catch is much higher, than the animal being harvested. There are also environmental concerns about the sustainability of large scale seafood production. In addition our oceans were used as waste dumps for many years. So sea food has one of the highest concentrations of heavy metals. This is due to the bio-accumulative nature of these toxins. Just because these sea creatures aren't cute and cuddly it doesn't mean they deserve to die.
Reply:I believe that it would be hypocritical to eat anything that falls inti the animal kingdom. Also, the harvesting of these animals has a hugely negative impact on the environment which should also be something you consider when you are thinking about what you eat. However, food is a deeply personal choice, and if you feel it is right don't let others impact how you eat.
Reply:An ethical vegetarian is called a vegan. Vegetarians eat dairy and eggs, which still results in suffering, death, and exploitation. Vegans, on the other hand, do not eat any animal products.
Your question is absurd. Just because they aren't "aware" of the torment, it does not make it right or okay. You sound like a would-be serial killer.

When clams and oysters open why do they have air bubbles, but they don't go to the surface?
My 5 years old Daughter, Maliha (Ma-lee-a), wants to know why it is that oysters let out air bubbles when they open their shell, but they never got to the surface for air? (I thought maybe because of air in the soil or plants, but I'm not even sure. I know they filter feed). Help this poor mom with an answer, and I'll tell her everyone in the world told me to tell you.

Reply:Feed recommendations for laying hens is 16% protein (since their is alot of protein in egg white and egg yolk) plus calcium for the shell which they can get from the oyster shell or limestone and from the foods they eat..
These nutrients are even more important if you want fertile hatching eggs.
Mature standard breed roosters only require about 9% protein. And there is enough calcium in the corn, bread, bugs and grass they eat.
There is a slight myth out there if roosters eat layer food they will get too much calcium and suffer from kidney damage or stones. A rooster can excrete extra calcium.
If the Ca source is oyster shell, the M %26amp;F birds will just pick out and eat as much as their body needs.

Reply:You should have cracked corn for all your chickens and the layers feed for you hens. Your roosters don't lay eggs lol and it is awful expensive to feed roosters feed they don't need. Being winter they need the cracked corn. Unless you live somewhere they can still get at bugs and grass and it isn't winter. Bread and leftovers is fine, they will pick out what they like. If you feed crack corn you will have better tasting eggs too from your hens.
Layer feed does not have oyster shells in it. That is sold separately at least it is here and we are really country lol. But yes the oyster shells make the shell harder. The layers feed has vitamins and stuff kind of like when a woman takes pre-natal vitamins. It just makes her healthier to produce more eggs.
should my rooster be getting something more than bugs and "girl" food?
i also give them bread and leftovers once in a while.
is layer feed just normal chicken feed except that it has added oyster shell to make the egg shells harder?
What sould i feed my rooster?

Are mollusks, scallops, oysters, clams, etc. animals, plants or what? Do they have brains? Can they love?
Mollusks are invertebrates--yes animals. But, they're nervous system isn't as developed as ours are, so they don't feel the same way we do. There brain really isn't a brain, as much as a region of receptors. They probably don't feel "pain" so to speak, but they know that pain is a negative stimulus to avoid, if that makes sense. Evolutionarily, they would be conditioned to avoid "painful" situations that might harm them, but the pain wouldn't feel like it does to you and me. Incidentally, octopus and squid are also mollusks, but their nervous systems are a little more advanced than clams, scallops, and oysters. I'm sure none of them feel love. Basically, they just feel the need to survive and reproduce.
Are mollusks, scallops, oysters, clams, etc. animals, plants or what? Do they have brains? Can they love?
They're invertebrates in the animal kingdom. They have rudimentary brains but 'love' is not in their life. They have a urge to reproduce by scattering eggs and fertilizing them, but that's not my definition of love.
Reply:they are all animals, they all have working organs and yes brains, and weather or not they can love is actually an opinion. i believe so.
Reply:they're bivalves and they're really just a very small muscle so they don't think or anything
Reply:They are animals, but NO to all of your other questions. But they are considered "seafood" and if you are a pesco vegetarian or flexitarian vegetarian like many cultures, Japan for instance, you eat them.
I am a flexitarian vegetarian and I eat a lot of seafood and fish along with a lot of plant matter. So eat away.
Reply:They don't have a brain, can't love and taste great.
Reply:Mollusks are animals.
We can't read other people's minds; so how can we read the minds of mollusks?
Reply:They are animals, some have ganglia (primitive brain or a primitive nervous system). However, not all mollusks are created equal. The octopus for example is a neurologically-advanced invertebrate, they are very smart and the female raises her young then dies. There is also gastropods, etc... The best thing is to educate yourself.
Since I am not sure if they feel pain, I do not eat them! I am sure tofu doesn't suffer!
Check: www.pbs.org/kcet/shapeoflife/animals/mol... and http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~mollus...
Good luck and happy eating.
Reply:they dont have a brain but have vegetative nervous system, biologically they are in the lowest place in hierarchy of the animals

Rock Of Love: Lacey Is a Plant And Bret Knows!!!!?
Lacey was purposely brought on the show to stir things up. Brett is COMPLETELY aware of this, cuz it is supposed to make the show more interesting. To be honest, the show has been pretty boring. Almost every reality show has a "Red Oyster" to stir the pot. What do you think will happen if the others found out?
Rock Of Love: Lacey Is a Plant And Bret Knows!!!!?
For someone who said that reality shows suppose to be real, that is what the producers want you to think. Actually, all reality shows are scripted to a point whereas the producers and writers will try to start rumors or other things to make the constestants mad at one another. Even Jerry Springer does this.
You are probably right that Lacey is a plant since she is also the only one who is a musician and because she and Bret are in the same field, they probably knew each other before Rock of Love. That or Lacey told producers when auditioning for the show, that she should be chosen to stir crap; I know that is how some ppl got onto the Big Brother 2 cast.
I am sure the others know she is there to cause stuff up, but editing or whatever probably cut those out if they ever say such.
Reply:Then that's not scripted its adding fuel to the fire so to speak. If two people don't like one another than the producers will tell each girl a portion of what the other said. A script is written. Lacy is on the show because she likes drama and they don't have to do that with her. Report It
Reply:that is way messed up its called a reality show because its supposed to be real i don't think the other girls would be suprised nor do i think they they would care very much because they hate her
Reply:Every time the elimination is over and lacey is still there. I always say....ratings baby, ratings. That is why she is still there. We despise her behavior and that's what keeps it interesting. The fact that he is keeping her despite what everyone has told him, I am sure it has already crossed the other girls' minds that she is there for ratings. However, remember they are assuming, just like all of us are.
Reply:the others know too, they all know. it is all fake. i happen to think it is entertaining as hell though. and i would love to see lacy win. we never get to see the ***** win!! new york lost twice, and i was really hoping she would win. this time around everyone will be expecting lacy to lose, but i am going to keep my hopes up. maybe she will get her own show lol.
Reply:i hope she is a plant because she is psycho
Reply:I don't think she was hired or anything but who ever chose the girls realized she was crazy and would cause drama between everyone.
Reply:i seriously think she was put on there because of that too. because if not she would of been gone by now. shes so weird and crazy. and she causes most of the drama in the house which makes for good tv. if the others found out im sure that they would be p-off. exspecially sam.
Reply:She is totally there to stir up sh*t !
That's why I really don't bother with her in my comments to much when I answer questions because she is just there to make the show intresting.
People are so freaking obsessed with hating her it's ridiculous, they just don't seem to get it.
I just feel like screaming that half of these girls and the show would be boring as h*ll if Lacey wasn't there to get them all riled up.
Just like New York did on Flavor of Love .
Reply:it is dumb and i dont think he even dates women its all a scam that will not pay off for his album guarantee it.
when they find out it will just be relief
Reply:Lacey - I love her. It takes a lot of guts hanging in there like she does with everyone against you. Have to respect that, grace under pressure. I love her! I want her if Bret passes her up. She's awesome. All you Lacey haters need to give it up. She's passionate, and real, unlike the rest of them who are all the same, follow-the-crowd types, only different looking in appearance. Lacey is different and individual, and there's a lot more to that girl than any of the other ones. Fake cardboard cut-outs, that's the best way I can describe the others. A distant second would be Heather. The other cronies, forget them, they're in the pack with all the other phonies just like them. Losers! Go Lacey, hang tough! Don't listen to these phonies. Passion and fury, baby! You're for real and my favorite. Oh and th Mia-hater: What was so bad about her? She was a nice girl, better than those strippers left. I like Bret so far too, I hope he picks the right one, but at least he sees a little more in Lacey, I'm liking him more and more from that. Seems like a real, down to earth dude. Keep it real man, go Lacey! Oh, and she's definately the best looking, very pretty!
Reply:they wont find out b/c then they'll all leave b/c they'll think bret is a fake and he dosen't want that to happen
Reply:like the others don't really know.
Reply:I'm sure of those girls know (or should be smart enough) to know that this show is just for publicity.
Reply:I never thought of that but I suppose it's possible. But with all the casting, I'm sure they were looking for certain personalities. I have to give it up for Lacey because of her love for animals. I do admire her toughness. She has a strategy and it is working for her.

This is really important please read?
Do oyster plants prevent weeds?
I need to know because my Mom says they do prevent it, but she has this obsession with planting random plants, so I need to know so I can get her to rip them out. Thanks
This is really important please read?
Oyster plant is itself an invasive weed in North America and weeds do tend to prevent other weeds from growing.
Reply:Rhoeo spathacea (Oyster Plant) is actually an invasive plant itself (weed).
Reply:I don't know about that plant but certain plants inhibit each others growth. So it may be that oyster plant inhibits a common weed in her area. A good example is if you grow dill near carrots they will both be very stunted. This phenomenea is the basis for "companion planting". Some people use this in organics.

What is wrong with my plant?
I have a rhoeo (oyster plant, moses in the cradle) plant and the leaves were very thick and green, purple-ish and they would stick upright, but the plant started dying a few days after I bought it home, and so I repotted it, watered it, took better care of it, and now it has grown back very weird, the plant grows in tall, green skinny stems, the plant grows so tall that it bends over, what can be wrong with it? It looks nothing like the other Rhoeo plants except one thick leaf that survived. It grows extremely fast.
What is wrong with my plant?
Maybe this website will help. As, I have never heard of it before.
Reply:By chance are you spraying miracle grow on it? If so you are using too much nitrogen and the plant is working on the foilage and getting "leggy" instead of busing out..Miracle grow is great..but not when your trying to get a new plant to take root..for it is focusing on the foilage..if this is the cause...get a low nitrogen fertilizer, and get one with higher phospherous in it, then it will focus on the roots more..instead of foilage.

How do I fix my moses in the cradle (oyster) Rhoeo, plant?
It does not look like it is supposed to, it resembles a bamboo plant if anything. How do I get it back to it having those thick, purplish- green leaves?
How do I fix my moses in the cradle (oyster) Rhoeo, plant?
More sun, warmth and a little fertilizer will get it back to health but it still might not win a beauty contest. Cut the leggiest parts off and root in water. Then you can repot them or add them back the the 'mother plant' pot to fill her out. RScott
Reply:It does sound as though it may not be getting enough light. Also treat for slugs. They can devastate a planting of Oyster Plants.
