Baboons

Five different species of baboons exit in the world today and all live in Africa or Arabia. Baboons are the world's largest monkeys. Like other Old World monkeys, they do not have prehensile (gripping) tails.

Why breathing rate of aquatic organisms is faster than the terrestrial animals?

The breathing rate of aquatic animals is faster than that of terrestrial animals because the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water in much less than the amount outside, so they have to breathe more in order to get more oxygen

Can you heat mineral water?

Yes you can. Tap water has minerals in it too. You can heat any substance: heat is the amount of energy, so your just adding energy.

How is caffeine used to treat infants and young babies?

Caffeine is also som1sometimes used to treat other conditions, including breathing problems in newborns and in young babies after surgery.

What animals can dissolve carbon dioxide in a pond?

Carbon Dioxide dissolves in the animal known as Diethylus Etherus

What is the worst color of poop in the world?

That depends on whose poop. For humans check here: http://www.puristat.com/constipation/bowelcolor.aspx Dark red is probably the most scary because it may indicate colon cancer. Also watch for slimy films that float off the surface of the poop after deposition in water. Red is bad. In animals the color of poop often depends on the diet, in particular if humans force certain foods on animals, e.g. industrial grade mush forced onto helpless dogs will often cause a clearly red poop because of dyes.

Which animal has two n's in its name?

One animal that has two "n's" in its name is the penguin. Penguins are flightless birds known for their distinctive black and white coloring and are primarily found in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in Antarctica. They are social creatures that often live in large colonies.

How much did a table fan cost in the 1920s?

In the 1920s, a table fan typically cost between $10 to $30, depending on the brand and features. Adjusted for inflation, this would be roughly equivalent to about $150 to $450 today. Fans were considered a luxury item at the time, as electric appliances were still becoming popular in households.

How many Caravaggio paintings still exist?

As of now, around 80 paintings attributed to Caravaggio are known to exist. However, the exact number can vary due to ongoing research, attributions, and discoveries. Some artworks may also be lost or misattributed, complicating the count. Overall, his work continues to be highly valued and studied in the art world.

Why carbon does not use as a semiconductor?

I don't really know too much about tin, but I can speak about carbon and semiconductors in general.

To be a semiconductor the solid must have (at least) two characteristics: the bonding and anti-bonding orbitals must form a pair of delocalized bands, where the density of states in these bands is very high (such that it approximates a continuum of states when plotted vs. energy). Secondly, the band-gap, or difference in energy between these two states must relatively small. This gap is what corresponds to the HOMO-LUMO gap in molecular species. This gap is generally on the order of 0.5 eV to 3.5 eV for semiconductors -- large enough that room temperature thermal energy will not excite electrons across this energy gap (which would make it metallic), but not so large that the material is considered an insulator.

Carbon, when bonding does not usually meet either criteria. For one, in a typical molecular species, there is not a large enough repeating and regular structure to build up these bands of energy levels. But in structures such as diamond, where a very regular and large repeating structure does exist, the band gap is so large that it is an insulator. However there are forms of carbon which are considered semiconducting, and are generally known as "organic semiconductors. There are many types, but most of them are large polymers with alternating double bonds for delocalized pi-bonding systems to create a high density of states with a small HOMO-LUMO gap. Although not yet available commercially, organic semiconductors are commonly made into solar cells, where their semiconducting properties allow the polymers to absorb light and conduct charges across an interface for efficient charge separation. Thiophenes, anthracenes and other polymeric systems with large conjugated pi-systems all have semiconducting properties.

Do baboons live in southwest arabia?

No, baboons do not naturally inhabit southwest Arabia. They are primarily found in Africa, particularly in savannas, grasslands, and forests. The range of baboons includes countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Africa, but they do not extend into the Arabian Peninsula.

What else do you breathe out besides carbon dioxide?

The air you breathe comprises three main gases. The largest proportion (79%) comprises the inert gas nitrogen, with oxygen making up 21 percent and carbon dioxide just 0.03 percent

How do hummingbirds get along with humans?

Hummingbirds generally have a non-aggressive nature and tend to coexist peacefully with humans. They are attracted to gardens with colorful flowers and feeders that provide nectar, making them a favorite among bird watchers. While they may become territorial over feeding areas, they usually avoid direct confrontation with people. Overall, their presence can enhance the enjoyment of gardens and outdoor spaces for those who appreciate their beauty and unique behaviors.

What covers your face on Halloween?

Most people use a mask to cover their faces on Halloween.

What is the reason for lone male baboons?

Possibly driven out after losing a fight for dominance. Usually, they are allowed to stay within the group, however.

Name the number in two ways 3600?

three thousand, six hundred

thirty six hundred

What two months were added to the calendar and why?

For many years, up to the time of Julius Caesar the year had ten months - the remains of that

today are our last four months, which are the 9th, 10th. 11th. and 12th months, but are named in Latin September (seventh month) October (eighth month), etc. A month was added to honor Julius Caesar (July) by taking a few days from all the other months. Not to be overshadowed, August Caesar wanted the same thing (August). So it comes down to us as 12 months.

Do baboons smack their butts when they are mad?

Yes, they are saying to the other baboons "Kiss my butt!".
