Reproduction and Life History

Reproduction and Life History

There are three morphologically distinct stages in the life cycle; the egg “finally” develops into larva which is converted into motionless pupa that finally develops into an adult. It some primitive insects the metamorphosis is incomplete.

Real and Apparent Weight (F.Sc – Physics – Chapter 5.11)

We often hear that objects appear to be weightless in a spaceship circling round the Earth. In order to examine the effect in some detail, let us first define, what do we mean by the weight? The real weight of an object is the gravitational pull of the Earth on the object.

Phylum: Arthropoda – Animals with Jointed Legs

The body is segmented. Each segment is attached to its neighbor by means of a modified portion of cuticle which is thin and flexible, they possess jointed appendages. These appendages have been modified for specialized functions.

Satellites orbits

Artificial Satellites (F.Sc – Physics – Chapter 5.10)

If, however, a satellite in a circular orbit is at an appreciable distance h above the Earth’s surface, we must take into account the experimental fact that the gravitational acceleration decreases inversely as the square of the distance from the centre of the Earth (Fig. 5.16).

Grade Bilateria Flatworms Part 2 (F.Sc – Biology – chapter 10)

The name nematode means “pointed ends”. The animals included in this group have elongated worm like body with pointed ends. The nematodes are triploblastic and pseudocoelomates. One end of the body is anterior, however the head is not clearly marked and there are no special sense organs at this end
