This week in science: Energy Transfer

This week in science we learned about how energy from one animal transfers into another animal. this transfer is caused by consumption. i Also learned about the energy pyramid. I also learned the names of the types of animals needed to consume. Like some animals are producers. a Producer makes its own food if im not mistaken. A consumer is an animal that eats other animals for food.Also theres secondary and tertiary consumers.


This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 1)

This weekend we learned about fruit flies. We learned that fruit flies or male fruit flies have a black bottom 
and the females have a light bottom. We also learned that the fruit flies make 20 baby's a day. they dont need to wait a day. They can lay eggs everyday. Also fruit flies takes 14 days to hatch out the eggs.

This week in science

This week in science we put friut flies to sleep so that we can put them in a seperate vile. And we also ansered the fruit fly problem. It was basicly saying or asking, how many fruit flies would be in the tank if you started with 3. one male and 2 females. Remmeber the flies reperduce 20 eggs each in a day.
So the question was asking after 3weeks how many would there be?
We didnt finish but when we do i guess ill get back to this assignment. I think there would be an awfuly big amount of flies though because there are 2 flies that can lay eggs and repurduce. they will be producing atleast 40 eggs a day.
