What did animals do in space?

Answer 1

They used to send animals into space to make sure it was safe for humans, and to see what the effects might be. These days they occasionally take organsims such as worms into space to see how the lack of gravity effects them.

Answer 2

Animals were sent into space to test how the effects of space travel would affect biological organisms. Space scientists wanted to know what effects weighlessness, solar radiation, g-forces, re-entry through the Earth's atmosphere etc. would have on living creatures.

The animals concerned didn't actually DO anything, they were just observed to see how their bodies and biological functions were affected by a trip into outer space. The more intelligent creatures, such as dogs and monkeys, were taught how to operate simple mechanisms to feed and water themselves when needed, but that's all.

Answer 3

Each one of us has an impact on the environment and the world in which we live. Growing food and raising animals also uses resources from the earth. Humans impact the environment through deforestation, agricultural and livestock activities, urbanization and burning fossil fuels .

Each and every living creature produces greenhouse gases (GHG). Greenhouse gases are gases in the earth's atmosphere and can be produced in nature and through human industry. An increased amount of GHG generates high temperatures on earth. The most abundant GHG are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.

The amount of GHG that agriculture and farming produces around the world is different. This is because each livestock production system is different in the way it uses resources. Agricultural systems are often categorized into two types of systems: extensive farming and intensive farming.

Extensive farming is a type of agriculture that is mainly a pasture-based and land-based system. In beef cattle production, for example, cattle in an extensive system would graze in a pasture. Intensive systems have more concentrated operations and are often more mechanized. A feedlot is an example of an intensive system for beef cattle production.

Answer 4

Animals were used in early space missions to study the effects of space travel on living organisms, including how they adapt to weightlessness and radiation. These studies helped scientists understand the potential impact on humans traveling in space and informed the development of life support systems.

Answer 5

The more space there is, the more resources become available. This causes the carrying capacity to go up. Therefore, more plants and animals will live there for the abundance of resources.

Answer 6

No oxygen, lowered gravity and usually there is no food for them eat
