Does a fish have bilateral symmetry?
Yes. Fish, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
Give an example of asymmetrical animals?
Butterflies. Many animals are more or less symmetrical, with exceptions like crabs and lobsters which have one much larger claw, and some animals like flatfish which have evolved from a symmetrical ancestor in such a way as to favour one side only. Among humans, asymmetrical bodies or features are perceived as uglier, or as deformed, so there may be strong selection pressures to choose a more symmetrical mate. Animals which are super-symmetrical include peacocks, butterflies and patterned mammals such as tigers, leopards and ocelots. The last three are particularly symmetrical in their facial markings, which suggests that it gives a selection advantage.
Why cant insects be larger than animals?
they CAN be larger than animals
What is a group of ocean life that includes larger animals that swim?
The larger animals that swim are called cetaceans.
Mushrooms are larger and more complex than molds.?
It can be hard to remember all the facts in Biology. Yes, mushrooms are larger and more complex organisms than molds.
What distinguishes a humans brain from other animals?
Animals with larger brains tend to be larger than animals with smaller brains. Also, to a degree, larger brains tend to mean more complex behaviors. Yes, some mammals have more brains than humans and have less intelligence, but any mammal is more intelligent than an earthworm which only has some ganglia for a brain.
Does the letter B have line symmetry?
Although some may claim it has a horizontal symmetry, closer inspection will show that the lower part is larger than the upper part and so the letter is NOT symmetrical.
Features of geometry in life?
Living creatures have many geometric features. Bilateral symmetry (mirror-image symmetry): From a distance, nearly all animals have bilateral symmetry, with a left side looking like a mirror-image of the right side. Radial symmetry: Many plants and a few animals (starfish, sea anemone, etc) have radial symmetry. Fractal symmetry: Many structures -- trees, ferns, lungs, blood vessels -- have a fractal symmetry. From a distance, the appearance of a large branch on a tree looks similar to a closer look at a smaller branch on that large branch. Shape recognition: Many enzymes and drugs have a specific geometric shape -- molecular shape -- that exactly fits into and matches some specific biological molecule. (The "lock and key" theory). Structure based drug design allows people to design drugs that affect only one specific molecule, rather than having unwanted side effects on other parts of the body. Optimum geometric structures: The shapes of many structures in living things are often very close to some mathematically optimum geometric shape. For example: The cornea and lens of the eye have a shape that is extremely smooth, less than 400 nm of irregularity. Otherwise it would not focus light properly. Many bones have a solid outer layer, and a more sponge-like inner region, rather than having a uniform structure throughout. This is similar to the way structural I beams have a broad top and bottom surface, but a narrow interior web, rather than a simple uniform rectangle from top to bottom. Both these shapes give a much better strength-to-weight ratio than a uniform structure. Geometric scaling and power laws: Larger animals have many features different from smaller animals that can be explained by geometric scaling. For example: An animal twice as large requires feet that can handle 8 times as much weight. So an animal twice as long as another need feet that are more than twice as wide or made of stronger substances or both. In situations where a small surface/volume ratio is useful -- such as keeping a warmblooded animal warm in cold place -- larger animals with smaller ears have an advantage. In situations where a large surface/volume ratio is useful -- such as staying cool in hot places -- smaller animals with larger ears have an advantage. ... something about aerodynamics and wings here ... ... something about sunflowers and Fibonacci here ... ... something about children with small throats have higher-pitch voices than adults with larger throats ... ... please add more features ...
Cells that are larger and more complex than prokaryotes are called?
Eukaryotic
Are larger animals faster and more powerful than smaller animals?
Only for some animals.
Why are there fewer larger animals then smaller animals in the ocean?
because if their were too many large animals they would eat all the smaller animals and in the end the larger ones would die of starvation they would of run out of food so the fewer larger ones there are the better chance they have of surviving
Why do animals that live in colder temperature climates tend to grow larger?
Blubber and hair make animals seem larger. Compact animals with shorter limbs would have a higher survival rate as well. Animals with no natural predators and an abundant food supply also grow larger.
