What else can I help you with?
What did plants and animals look like millions of years ago?
The Miocene period was a time of gradual cooling of regions into an ice age. Mammals, birds, grasslands and forests were present. Human kind evolved in this time. Kelp fields in the oceans led to ecosystems that supported many types of life.
What do paleoclimatologist used to study prehistoric climate?
if plants or animals today need certain conditions to live, then similar plants and animals in the past also required those conditions. :)
How would the amount of carbon dioxide in the air change if earth had plants but no animals or people?
Without humans or animals, very little Co2 would be produced. Most of the worlds Co2 is from burning oil, gas, coal etc. Plants absorb it so the planet would be very healthy and in much cleaner than the way the world is today.
Would animal life on earth be possible without plants?
Individually, most plants derive everything they need to live from the sun, soil, and water, excluding carnivorous plants like Venus fly traps and sundew which live in nutrient poor soil and receive all their protein and nutrients from the animals they catch. In theory most plants could grow from a seed and live out their entire lives without ever coming into contact with an animal. However, many plants are able to reproduce only with the help of animals. Insects, especially bees, carry pollen from one plant to another, fertilizing it and allowing that plant to create seeds and continue the species. Without these insects many species of plants would go extinct. And if you have to ask, yes, insects are animals.
Are fossils of today's plants and animals being preserved?
Yes, fossils of today's plants and animals are being preserved. Fossils can form under the right conditions, such as in sedimentary rock or tar pits, and represent a snapshot of ancient life that can help scientists understand past ecosystems and evolutionary processes. However, the process of fossilization is rare and not all organisms become preserved as fossils.
Did the domestication of plants only last in the stone age?
No, today plants are know for being domesticated
What plants and animals lived in neanderthal time?
All the wild animals and plants were the same as today, what was missing were the domesticated versions (wolves but not dogs, grasses but not wheat, corn or rice). What is now missing is those animals driven to extinction (dodos, mammoths, passenger pigeons, etc).
What animals became domesticated for food?
Every food animal today was domesticated beginning at some point far in the past (even fish).
What did people rely on domesticated animals to provide?
Just like today they use animals for food, leather, wool, and milk.
Do scientist assume that plants and animals in the past required the same conditions as similar plants animals today?
False
How did humans use the plants and animals they domesticated?
They ate them or used them to help with work.
Does the Green House Effect help the Earth?
Yes. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would be uncomfortably (possibly unlivably) cold for most plants and animals alive today.
Do people today use domesticated in the same way as people use it in the stone age?
people do not use domestic as been used in the stone age.during the stone age people depend mostly on stones to work but now animals are been domesticated.
What was the main advantage of domesticating plants and animals?
Domestication (from Latin domesticus) is the process whereby a population of living organisms is changed at the genetic level, through generations of selective breeding, to accentuate traits that ultimately benefit humans. A usual by-product of domestication is the creation of a dependency in the domesticated organisms, so that they lose their ability to live in the wild. This differs from taming in that a change in the phenotypical expression and genotype of the animal occurs, whereas taming is simply an environmental socialization/behavioral trait; the process by which animals become accustomed to human presence. In the Convention on Biological Diversity, a domesticated species is defined as a "species in which the evolutionary process has been influenced by humans to meet their needs." Therefore, a defining characteristic of domestication is artificial selection by humans. Humans have brought these populations under their control and care for a wide range of reasons: to produce food or valuable commodities (such as wool, cotton, or silk) and for types of work (such as transportation, protection, warfare), scientific research, or simply to enjoy as companions or ornaments. Plants domesticated primarily for aesthetic enjoyment in and around the home are usually called house plants or ornamentals, while those domesticated for large-scale food production are generally called crops. A distinction can be made between those domesticated plants that have been deliberately altered or selected for special desirable characteristics (see cultigen) and those plants that are used for human benefit, but are essentially no different from the wild populations of the species. Animals domesticated for home companionship are usually called pets, while those domesticated for food or work are called livestock or farm animals.
What animals or plants compete with us?
well none do.we are the smartest of all animals. we have thumbs and we know how to really use them. so that first rules out every animal without thumbs, and then rules out monkeys who could never build the things we have today.
What are the main natural resources in New Jersey today?
water soil plants animals and minerals
