The diagram below shows information about the life cycle of a mosquito. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The illustration highlights the various stages involved in the life cycle of a mosquito as it changes from an egg to a fully grown adult.
The life cycle of a mosquito can be divided into two major parts: the part that lives above water and the part that lives below water. The eggs are joined together to form a raft-like structure that floats on the surface of the water. After a period of time, the eggs then hatch to allow the larvae to escape. These live under the water in an upside down position with their tails touching the surface of the water. This allows them to breathe through an air tube. Then the larvae turn into pupae which also live just under the water.
Eventually, the pupae transform into fully grown mosquitoes that have wings and are therefore able to fly. They, in turn, will lay eggs that float on top of the water and so begin the next cycle.
