prepare and submit a paper on commensal and parasitic barnacles.

/in /by

Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on commensal and parasitic barnacles. On the other hand, parasitic barnacles bore through the exoskeleton of the host and moves to the blood and the midgut of the animal until it branches into a mass of harmful tissue, thus killing the animal host (“Sacculina”). Overall, there are several types of barnacles but only four orders.

The first order of barnacles is the order Thoracica, or the “true barnacles” Newman & Abbott). The Thoracica are the most important because they are more abundant and more conspicuous than the species of the other orders. Although the Thoracica occurs most abundantly in the tropical Indo-Pacific region of the ocean, they are basically found in all types of marine environments, both in saltwater and freshwater. However, it remains a fact that “none completes its life cycle in freshwater” (Newman & Abbott).

The average size of a Thoracica barnacle is “generally moderate, a few centimeters in greatest dimension, but some…exceed 10 cm and others but a few millimeters” (Newman & Abbott). The adult Thoracica is basically “permanently attached” yet most do not shed off their calcareous shell all throughout their lives (Newman & Abbott).

It is actually the Thoracica barnacles that form symbiotic relationships with organisms that are much larger than the average size of the true barnacles: “whales, sea snakes, lobsters, medusa, corals and sponges” (Newman & Abbott). With the aforementioned animals, the true barnacles acted as commensals. However, a few true barnacles have actually become “nutritionally dependent” on larger animals like shark, corals or worms, especially during the earlier stages of barnacle evolution, and although their symbiosis was only for “support or protection,” these relationships were still considered parasitic (Newman & Abbott).

There are three suborders of Thoracica barnacles.

Need an research paper on does pre-education develops students developing performance in their next study. Needs to be 12 pages. Please no plagiarism. This essay stresses that Kariuki, Chepchieng, Mbugua and Ngumi (2007) in their study highlight the effectiveness of early childhood education program for the development of social-emotional competencies. The research design focuses on the ex-post facto to understand the interdependency of early childhood education program on the social emotional competency. The samples were obtained to fairly and equally represent schools and respondents of three district. The survey questionnaires of the study focus on the documentation analysis and group discussion of the data collection. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tools were used to analyze the data, as it provides a summary, analytical and empirical analysis about the particular sample. The survey questionnaires of the study focus on the documentation analysis and group discussion of the data collection.

This paper makes a conclusion that the persistent attendance of the children of the lower income, middle class families can be effective for the children. No relationship between the social development and the center attendance has been observed through the study. Therefore, the study suggests that the selection factors play the major role for the mothers to enroll their children in the center. The findings of the study also highlights that the center exposure at the age of 7+ can be a source of higher cognitive proficiency.

As an emergency response clinical director within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), develop a memorandum of agreement for collaboration between your office at NIH and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding joint effort in fighting an imminent disease epidemic. Both teams will be stationed in the state of Florida. Both agencies will share a treatment center providing vaccination to local residents. Decide which portion of the treatment center the NIH will occupy and which the CDC will be in charge of operating. Ensure your memorandum includes the following: Specify the essential details of the mission and the role each agency will play. Explain the length and terms of the agreement between NIH and CDC. Determine potential challenges and limitations associated with the joint initiatives. Dictate the management style of both agencies.
