Memorandum

Erdwurm:

1. Omdat dit dooie materiaal in die grond indra, die grond los maak (gasse en water kan inkom), as voedsel vir ander diere dien.

2. Omdat die vel vogtig en sag is vir asemhaling. Die liggaam kan dus vinnig uitdroog, en asemhaling kan nie deur ‘n droë vel plaasvind nie.

3. Omdat dit diere soos die erdwurm kan laat vrek. Dan kan die grond hard word en water, gasse en dooie materiaal sal nie meer kan inkom nie: die grond gaan onvrugbaar word.

Inhoud

AKTIWITEIT: Om inligting oor die erdwurm te interpreteer [LU 2.1, LU 2.3]

DIE ERDWURM

Die erdwurm is deel van ‘n groep wat as gesegmenteerde wurms bekend staan.

Dit is belangrik dat jy die erdwurm leer ken, aangesien hierdie diertjie ‘n belangrike rol in die ekosisteem speel.

Kom ons kyk hoe sy liggaam by sy leefwyse aangepas is.

Liggaamsbou

Die erdwurm is ongeveer 150 mm lank en die hele liggaam bestaan uit ringvormige segmente wat elk ongeveer 1 mm dik is.

Aan die voorste punt is daar ‘n mond met ‘n klein lippie waarmee voedsel in die mond ingestoot word. Op die agterste punt is die anus waar voedselreste die liggaam verlaat.

Op al die segmente, behalwe die eerste en laaste, is daar haartjies wat die wurm help om deur die grond te beweeg.

Beweging

Die erdwurm beweeg deurdat spiere in die segmente saamtrek en verslap waardeur die liggaam lank en dun word en dan weer kort en dik. Die haartjies op die segmente skop teen die grond vas en die wurm beweeg vorentoe.

Voeding

Die erdwurm kom in die nag uit die grond uit en trek met die lippie voor sy mond verrottende plantmateriaal in sy tonnel in. Hy vreet ook grond soos hy sy tonneltjies deur die grond grawe.

Asemhaling

Die erdwurm haal deur sy vogtige vel asem. Dit is dus belangrik dat die vel vogtig bly en die wurm is dus afhanklik van ‘n vogtige omgewing.

Handhawing van ‘n waterbalans

Die erdwurm het ‘n ingewikkelde stelsel van buisies in sy liggaam met openinge na buite waarmee hy die hoeveelheid water wat sy liggaam opneem en afgee, beheer sodat die regte balans gehandhaaf word.

Voortplanting

Twee erdwurms lê teenmekaar en ruil geslagselle uit. ‘n Slymkokon vorm om hulle liggame en die geslagselle bly in die kokon agter wanneer dit van die liggaam afskuif. Die kleintjies broei in die kokon uit en lyk onmiddellik nes hul ouers.

Assessering

Leeruitkomste 2: Die leerder ken, interpreteer en pas wetenskaplike, tegnologiese en omgewingskennis toe.

Assesseringstandaard 2.1: Dit is duidelik wanneer die leerder betekenisvolle inligting onthou: onthou, ten minste, definisies en komplekse feite;

Assesseringstandaard 2.3: Dit is duidelik wanneer die leerder inligting interpreteer: interpreteer inligting deur kernidees in die teks te identifiseer, patrone in aangetekende data te vind en gevolgtrekkings te maak uit inligting in verskeie vorme (bv. prente, diagramme en geskrewe teks).

How bacteria create energy to survive?
Muhamad Reply
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments

But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?

explain assimilatory nitrate reduction
Esinniobiwa Reply
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
