How does a lungfsh reproduce?
Lungfish reproduce by spawning during the last half of winter. The fish builds a nest like a pit and lays its eggs in the nest. The male takes care of the eggs until they hatch.
Do crocodiles hibernate estivate or migrate?
Crocodiles do estivate. It is a very interesting biological state in which the crocodile enters everything is slowed from respiration to circulatory functions. at average a crocodile heart beats approximately 40 times per minute when a crocodile is estivating, its heart rate slows down to about 5 beats per minute and can remain in this "standby" state for a year or more, depending on the conditions.
What does a bumblebee need to survive?
Bumblebees need nectar and pollen to survive. But during the winter most die, mostly only the queen bee lives to start the new bumblebee colony next year.
What do squirrels and raccoons do to prepare for the winter?
Squirrels cache nuts and other food items to eat during the winter. Raccoons eat as much as they can during the warmer months to put on a thick later of fat that allows them to survive when food is scarce.
How have penguins adapted to survive in the Antarctic?
Penguins are sea birds and survive in liquid water. They breed on Antarctica's beaches during periods when there is 24/7 sunlight, making it warmer than when there is no son. When a penguin wants to warm up, a penguin dives into the Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent.
Does plants that have taproots survive better than a fibrous root plant in a drought?
Yes Because tap roots penetrate deeper in the soil and get enough capillary water to survive during drought.
What problem people have faced during drought occur?
There is a lack of food and water would survive without food but we cannot survive without water
How does the stem of a cactus help it survive in a environment?
The stem of a cactus is able to store water during rainy periods for use during a drought.
Some rivers do this during a drought?
Because a drought is almost the hottest place on this world and it is to hot and the water dries all the way up and that the place the drought is located you will not survive without water
What season do animal estivate?
Animals will aestivate during periods of heat and drought. Those conditions generally occur during the summer.
How do spores survive unfavourable conditions?
Fungi survive in unfavorable conditions by parasitism.Parasitism means an ability of an animal to obtain nutrients from other animals by using them as hosts. Also Fungi have the ability to survive in climatic extremes and in long periods of drought, because they have been specially designed to be resilient.
How do succulents survive in the desert?
Wildflowers adapt to desert habitats because they are able to withstand arid temperatures. They are also able to reproduce in harsh conditions.
Why do some desert plants lose their leaves during drought conditions?
so that they have a smaller surface area to lose water from
During a drought is there less or more rainfall?
During a drought there is less rainfall.
What factors influence epigenetics?
Extreme environmental conditions influence epigenetics. There are certain chemical compounds adhering to the genetic material but not altering the DNA sequence during conditions of stress to the organism. For example proline protects the plants from wilting during conditions of drought.
Why are lungfish important to the study of plate tectonics?
The distribution of lungfish fossils and their current living populations gave rise to the suggestion that the continents had drifted a lot during a short time. The theory that lungfish evolved while the Pangaea was intact was introduced.
What are 'lungfish'?
Modern Lungfishes are in 3 families: Ceratodontidae- found in Australia, Lepidosirenidae- found in South America, and Protopteridae- found in Africa. These relict fish have elogated bodies, much like that of an eel. They have small scales, and these fish actually have paired lungs. Although these fish have lungs, Lungfish normally only use these air sacs during times of extreme stress. They have been know to stay in bodies of water that have a tendency to dry up during the summer. The Lungfish has the ability to burrow in the mud and survive by breathing with their lungs until the rain comes.
