Protoplasmic streaming is the act of flowing. In Biology protoplasmic streaming is the flowing of cytoplasm within a cell.

What makes Michele so scared about Melichette's pigs?

Due to a traumatic experience michele suffered in her childhood she can no longer bear the thought of looking another pig in the eye. This is why she avoids melichette's pigs.. When she was 4 years old, little michele and her parents moved to the country and lived on a pig farm. one lazy sunday afternoon, she was out for a merry stroll among the daisies. She heard the noises coming from the nearby slaughter house. she emerged from the garden and saw the horrible sight of the little pigs she had known and loved get beheaded.. one by one. she could not avert her eyes from the horror unfolding in front of her. When they were all done, Michele moved towards them, in a trance like state she walked across the blood stained ground, pig heads were scattered all around her, the carcasses had been removed. tears were streaming from her eyes as she approached the head of the pig she had loved most. Kurt, she had named him. He was always her favourite. As she cradled his disembodied head in her arms, His eyes opened and a gurgling growl escaped his bloody throat. His skin was mottled and his eyes bloodshot, but he was somehow still alive. michele did not know what to do and was frozen with fear as its mouth slowly opened and then crunched, quick as lightening, on the soft tissue of her upper arm. her muscle fibres were separated apart, her sarcomeres rendered useless, they will never see a calcium influx ever again, never contract again, they were lost. her arm was pulled from her body as the pigs head feasted on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and t tubules surrounding her muscles. the bone separated with a sickening crack, osteons broke, haversian canals were exposed and 'kurt come back to life' sucked her trabecular bone dry. she screamed from the pain and tried to push it away with her one good hand, but it was no use. her sympathetic nervous system was making her heart beat tenfold and epinepherine was secreted from her adrenal glands. Blood was streaming out of the stump, the pain was to much, her nervous receptors were overloaded. kurt opened its mouth again.. and michele knew no more.. she awoke a week later. she was alive, her father had arrived in a nick of time and forced kurt's head away from her, he then carried her towards the house and called an ambulance. THATS WHY! courtesy of some bored university biology students hope you found it useful :)

What is camouflaging?

Camouflage (or cryptic coloration) is the process of blending into the background. It only works if the predator hunts by vision - animals who hunt by sound or smell are not fooled by camouflage! Many animals have color patterns which match the environment in which they live. If they freeze against this background, they blend in and are harder to see. Sound and smell are also used in camouflage.Camouflage definition in terms of Nature: to hide one's true nature.Camouflage comes in many forms;Color matching :white polar bear on white snow,Disruptive coloration: stripes on a tiger or zebra disrupt the outline.Counter shading: sharks from above, dark colour blends with ocean, from below, pale belly blends with light streaming down.(Transparent animals particularly aquatic, difficult to see in ever changing light)Physical mimicry: Leaf insects, bird dropping spiders, stick insectsAggressive resemblance: Tiger moth caterpillars when startled rear up, to which their head looks like a snake, eye spots on butterflies. (Mainly scares bird predators)Adventitious protection: Decorator crabs, caddis fly: attach debris to themselves, some hermit crabs attach living anemones as "bodyguards"Variable protective resemblance: Cuttlefish, octopus, chameleon, able to change their colours via chromatophores in the skin.Warning colors and protective mimicry: non toxic species using a toxic species' warning colours i.e paper flies look like wasps, milk snake looks like coral snakes.Mullerian mimic: part of itself appears elsewhere: snake's tail loos like it's head to avoid the vulnerable real head being attacked.Batesian mimic: (See coral snakes and milk snakes)Dummies and false displays: Toads puff up to look bigger that they are or prey may face it's predator since a healthy prey needs more energy to kill and the predator may risk injury.Behavior: Also used as camouflage: i.e. playing dead (oppossums, hogsnakes) staying still when coupled with colour camouflage.Audio mimicry: some moths which taste horrid to bats make a clicking noise when bats come near, a 'tasty' species (Syntomeida epilais) mimics this noise to avoid being eaten by bats too.Scent mimicry: carrion plants, lure prey/pollinators, newborn fawns have No scent to hide them from predators (as well as a color camo' fur pattern)To alter appearance so as to blend with the surrounding envioronment, thus becoming more difficult to be seen.


What are forams?

The Foraminifera, ("Hole Bearers") or forams for short, are a large group of amoeboid protists with reticulating pseudopods, fine strands of cytoplasm that branch and merge to form a dynamic net. They typically produce a shell, or test, which can have either one or multiple chambers, some becoming quite elaborate in structure. About 275,000 species are recognized, both living and fossil. They are usually less than 1 mm in size, but some are much larger, and the largest recorded specimen reached 19 cm. Although as yet unsupported by morphological correlates, molecular data strongly suggest that Foraminifera are closely related to the Cercozoa and Radiolaria, both of which also include amoeboids with complex shells; these three groups make up the Rhizaria. However, the exact relationships of the forams to the other groups and to one another are still not entirely clear. Modern forams are primarily marine, although they can survive in brackish conditions. A few species survive in fresh water and one even lives in damp rainforest soil. They are very common in the meiobenthos, and about 40 morphospecies are planktonic. This count may however represent only a fraction of actual diversity, since many genetically discrepant species may be morphologically indistinguishable. The cell is divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. The pseudopodial net may emerge through a single opening or many perforations in the test, and characteristically has small granules streaming in both directions. The pseudopods are used for locomotion, anchoring, and in capturing food, which consists of small organisms such as diatoms or bacteria. A number of forms have unicellular algae as endosymbionts, from diverse lineages such as the green algae, red algae, golden algae, diatoms, and dinoflagellates. Some forams are kleptoplastic, retaining chloroplasts from ingested algae to conduct photosynthesis. The foraminiferan life-cycle involves an alternation between haploid and diploid generations, although they are mostly similar in form. The haploid or gamont initially has a single nucleus, and divides to produce numerous gametes, which typically have two flagella. The diploid or schizont is multinucleate, and after meiosis fragments to produce new gamonts. Multiple rounds of asexual reproduction between sexual generations is not uncommon in benthic forms. Because of their diversity, abundance, and complex morphology, fossil foraminiferal assemblages are useful for biostratigraphy, and can accurately give relative dates to rocks. The oil industry relies heavily on microfossils such as forams to find potential oil deposits. Calcareous fossil foraminifera are formed from elements found in the ancient seas they lived in. Thus they are very useful in paleoclimatology and paleoceanography. They can be used to reconstruct past climate by examining the stable isotope ratios of oxygen, and the history of the carbon cycle and oceanic productivity by examining the stable isotope ratios of carbon. Geographic patterns seen in the fossil records of planktonic forams are also used to reconstruct ancient ocean currents. Because certain types of foraminifera are found only in certain environments, they can be used to figure out the kind of environment under which ancient marine sediments were deposited. For the same reasons they make useful biostratigraphic markers, living foraminiferal assemblages have been used as bioindicators in coastal environments, including indicators of coral reef health. Because calcium carbonate is susceptible to dissolution in acidic conditions, foraminifera may be particularly affected by changing climate and ocean acidification.foraminifera-1
