I'm in need of a topic for my Biology extended essay, which is basically a 4500 word max article along with appropriate field work done, processed and analyzed.
The topic must be in a question format, the answer to that question must be of some value (so we can't do something just for the sake of doing it.)
Examples:
How can we increase the synthesis rate of enzyme A in plant X? - Said enzyme has such use and increasing A will make X more economically more..etc.
How does the amount of algae in the water affected by X in the environment? - Maybe used as a gauge for water pollution.
Hoping to do something Ecology related and more specifically Ceph related, but I have racked my brains and have failed to find any topic I can really do since I neither have the resource nor expertise to keep a live ceph in a controlled environment, so I'm confined to what's commercially available.
Which would be some fresh squid and the occasional chance of live octo or cuttlefish.
I was originally planning to do one based on the squid's size to beak-size ration, but all the squid's I'll be processing will be juveniles and thus not really reflect anything nor will the result be of any great importance
So here's the question, out of the top of your head, is there a ceph or ecology in general topic that is relatively easy to do without the need to keep a live ceph(s) inside a tank and could be used to make some sort of statement relating to a real issue (pollution, economic value..etc.)
