What is an example of explanation?
Explanations are full of passive verbs. Everything is done by a mysterious invisible hand: First the milk is poured. Then the eggs are added. Science and social studies books are full of explanations. You use an explanation to find out how something is done, or how something works
The civil war was a war fought in the 17th century.
There. Too easy.
What would the consequences be if the Asian Elephant went extinct?
People hunt elephants for their ivory tusks, even though it is illegal. After killing the adult, men saw off the ivory to sell on the black market. I heard that their country is planning to cut off ivory tusks in a governmentally controlled program, in an effort to discourage the senseless hunting. I believe I heard that 3,000 elephants are killed every year. Hunters even leave babies abandoned near the dead mother's carcass.
How many different types of trees are in the world?
There are over 60,000 different species of trees in the world. This includes a wide variety of trees such as conifers, deciduous trees, palm trees, and tropical trees. Each species has unique characteristics and adaptations to different environments.
There is a widely accepted theory that the act of observation will change what is being observed.
Researchers usually want to observe an animal's natural behaviour - but this would be impossible if the animal knew the researcher was there because it would act differently with a human there.
What is the average weather in Alaska?
Alaska is a very huge state and it depends on which part of it you're in. The southern part has temperatures similar to winter in the continental US (20's and 30's). Meanwhile the far north of the state is already at or below 0.
Which animal has been discovered latest?
People do not live everywhere and not all people think the animals are "undiscovered," but they just do not have Latin names for them yet. Some animals are "discovered" being sold for meat. Just because some people hunt, sell and eat them does not mean that scientists know about them yet. Recent new mammals were discovered on islands or mountain ranges where nobody lives. Another factor is that small animals rarely have their bones fossilized so there is often no bones found so unless someone traps them, they will never be discovered. Some animals eat grasses or leaves so they would not be interested in anything you might bait a trap with and so are never trapped either. Owls and some other birds of prey cough up the indigestible parts of their meals which might include bones of an undiscovered species so owl pellets are often collected and studied.
(I felt this answer did not make sense, but it's apparent much work was put into this. Here's my personal opinion on the matter.)
There are millions of animal species on earth. Supposedly, over half were "created" by the act of cross breeding.
Many captive animals mate each other. This is common in the same type of animal, even when they're different species. (For example, if a Border Collie dog breeds with a German Shepherd, this creates a new breed of dog.) On extremely rare occasions (and I can't stress enough how rare this is...) two animals of totally different species may end up reproducing, easily making a totally new animal altogether.
At the same time, there may only be a very small amount of one animal. These small groups of animals may have pulses of higher reproduction, thus making this animal much easier to find. Animals also tend to go into hiding, possibly for years at a time.
And on top of THAT, obviously, we humans do not have the equipment to explore every scare inch of the world, including deep underground. Which brings me to my next topic- below ground and below sea level animals. These animals may not surface ever in their lifetime. But then again, they may. When these animals surface, the ones that we do not have the tools to search for can be more easily found.
What are ways the humans negatively affect are environment everyday?
1. We kill many organisms from different types of species and even sometimes cause them to go extinct.
2. Pollution is dirtying the air, water, and earth. Litter and pollution can cause health problems and death in both humans, animals, and sometimes plants when there is too much.
3. We are cutting down forests so we can use the land, and otherwise messing around with the environment so that it is becoming unbalanced and very different from what it might have been had humans not existed - and more in a bad way than good.
Do zoologists interact with animals?
Yes, zoologists interact with animals as part of their research, observation, and care. They may study animal behavior, conduct field research, monitor wildlife populations, and work directly with animals in captivity for conservation or study purposes.

Animals are helpful in varios ways.Dogs are helpful for eating off food that's been dropped on the floor.Cats are helpful for eating mice or any other rodents that get in your home.Gerbals,hamsters,fish,rabbits,and even hermit crabs or any other types of small animals could teach your kids responsibility.If you are going to pick out an animal for your kid\kids you should pick one that suits your child more and don't be weird about picking a pet for your child.
A skinner rat test is a box with an electrified grid at the bottom. At one end of the cage there are 2 lights, a response lever and a little food dispenser. If the rat uses the lever for the righ light then he gets rewarded. If he gets it wrong he gets an electic shock. This experiment is used in some schools and laboratories to explore the rat's behaviour.
Battery cages are small wire cages used in industrial egg production to confine hens. The cages restrict movement, do not allow natural behaviors, and can lead to health issues for the birds. Many animal welfare advocates argue that battery cages are inhumane.
An animal beginning with the letter Q is a quokka, a small marsupial native to Australia. Quokkas are known for their friendly and curious nature, with a reputation as the "happiest animal on Earth" due to their smiling facial expression.
What does yersinia pestis look like?
Yersinia Pestis is the germ that infected many during the bubonic plague. it was once called pasteurella pestis named in the honor of the pasteur institute, but was later renamed yersinia pestis after Alexandre yersin. Yersinia pestis was carried by flea and rodents and was tranfered to humans. this germ caused many deaths and caused one of the most severe epedemics in the world in history. Yersinia pestis (formerly Pasteurella pestis) is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is a facultative anaerobe that can infect humans and other animals. Human Y. pestis infection takes three main forms: pneumonic, septicemic, and the notorious bubonic plagues. All three forms have been responsible for high mortality rates in epidemics throughout human history, including the Black Death (a bubonic plague) that accounted for the death of at least one-third of the European population in 1347 to 1353. Recently Y. pestis has gained attention as a possible biological warfare agent and the CDC has classified it as category a pathogen requiring preparation for a possible terrorist attack. Yersinia pestis bacteria -- the organism responsible for plague -- can grow with or without oxygen. Animals that are known to carry the bacteria include rats, prairie dogs, and fleas. During an outbreak, the bacteria can survive for months in cool, moist conditions, such as a rodent hole. Approximately 10 to 20 people in the United States develop an infection each year from flea or rodent bites.
What would happen if peroxisomes didn't exist?
Without peroxisomes, cells would struggle to break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances like hydrogen peroxide. This could lead to an accumulation of toxic byproducts, damage to cell structures, and impaired metabolic processes. Overall, the absence of peroxisomes would significantly impact cellular function and compromise overall health.

What percentage of all animals are carnivores?
It's hard to say exactly how many animals are strictly carnivores, and not omnivores. A carnivore eats nothing but meat while an omnivore eats anything. Estimates have the carnivore population of the world to be between five and 10 percent.
Should animals be tested for medications?
Animals that compete such as horses and dogs are routinely screened for medication and drugs just as human athletes are. This serves to insure that they aren't being doped to improve their performance. This also makes sure they are not being taken advantage of or harmed by drugs.
What is a function of peroxisome?
Peroxisomes are organelles from the microbody family and are present in almost all eukaryotic cells. They participate in the metabolism of fatty acids and many other metabolites. Peroxisomes harbor enzymes that rid the cell of toxic peroxides.
Did the high schoolers in Hawaii dissect frogs?
Yes, some high schoolers in Hawaii may have dissected frogs as part of their biology curriculum. Dissection of frog specimens is a common science activity in many high schools to help students learn about anatomy and physiology.
disuse means: no longer in use, obsolete. It can also refer to neglect please see related link
In the book flush what is Paines job before he drives a taxi?
Paine is a private investigator before he begins driving a taxi.
Parapodia are paddle-like structures found on the sides of certain marine worms and mollusks. They are used for locomotion and breathing, with rows of setae (bristles) that help the organisms move through the water.
