Gorillas

The largest of the primates, this ground-dwelling herbivore inhabits the forests of central west Africa. There are three subspecies. Gorilla gorilla gorilla lives in the western lowlands and Gorilla gorilla graueri resides in the eastern lowlands. The Mountain Gorilla, Gorilla beringei beringei, lives in the mountains of Central Africa.

3,846 Questions

Does a rabbit have internal or external reproduction?

Yes rabbits fertilize internally through the male inserting the penis into the female ejaculating sperm which in turn fertilizes the ovum of the female. the same process as is used in all mammals including humans.

Do gorillas have lungs?

A gorilla uses its nose, lungs and other organs for respiration.

Did Dian Fossey work with other scientist?

Yes, Dian Fossey worked with other scientists during her research on mountain gorillas in Rwanda. She collaborated with researchers from institutions such as the Leakey Foundation and the World Wildlife Fund to study and protect these endangered animals.

What is the geographic term for a plant and animal community covering a large land area?

community...or if u inlude the abiotic factors(nonliving parts) of the enviroment then its an ecosystem or a habitat.

Why do gorrilas have big nostrils?

Their noses are unique to each individual, so they can be identified by their noses. The wrinkles around gorillas' noses are called nose prints and are unique for each individual, much like a human's finger prints.

What animals eggs do we eat?

Humans, skunks, opossums, certain reptiles like snakes, and certain birds, like crows, among others.

Answer:

Scientifically speaking "ovophages" eat eggs. This category includes animals like sharks where the more mature (but still unborn) young eat their unborn kin while still in their mothers.

What is the gorilla in Tarzan called?

Kerchak is the name of the bigger patriarch gorilla, Kala is the gorilla that raised Tarzan, and Terk is the spunky young gorilla that befriends Tarzan.

Are mountain gorillas herbivores?

They just are herbavores. Kind of like some types of animals are. It means they do not eat meat and that just means Gorillas dont like meat.

What are some examples of selective breeding animals and plants?

The female two toed sloth is probably one of the most selevtive breeding animals. Her mate must do the can-can before she will breed with him. Of course, the most selevtive in biology it the venemous tentacular.

How can animals benefit from waterways?

well, animals drink water and then it comes out eventually from the animal and goes into the ground becoming ground water. When the water is in soil it can percolate through it. Percalation is the process of liquid moving through a substance that is porous ( something that has many tiny holes or "pores".

Which is a part of plant cells that is not present in animal cells?

A plant cell is bounded by a cell wall and the living portion of the cell is within the walls and is divided into two portions: the nucleus, or central control center; and the cytoplasm, a fluid in which membrane bound organelles are found. Between the primary cell walls of adjacent plant cells, lies a pectic middle lamella. There can be a secondary cell wall which would be located just to the inside of the primary wall. Both walls consist mainly of cellulose, but the secondary cell wall may contain lignin and other substances. The outer boundary of the protoplasm (cytoplasm and nucleus) is a sandwich-like, flexible plasma membrane. This membrane regulates what enters and leaves the plant cell. Plant cell organelles include: endoplasmic reticulum, with and without ribosomes attached; Golgi bodies, mitochondria, and plastids. Plastids are chloroplasts, chromoplasts or leucoplasts-depending on the color and likewise the function. Chloroplasts are of specific interest to those studying plants. A plant cell also, obviously, contains a nucleus which is bounded by a nuclear envelope with pores. The pores in the nuclear envelope allow for movement of substances in and out of the nucleus. Within the nucleus is a number of chromosomes. The number present is specific to the organism and it will be later noted how sex cells contain one-half the number of chromosomes, and restore chromosome number upon fertilization. All of these organelles and the nucleus are suspended in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm has movements that are referred to as cytoplasmic streaming or cyclosis. The particular function of the other organelles contained in plant cells can be reviewed below:

  1. The nucleus is in the center of most cells. Some cells contain multiple nuclei, such as skeletal muscle, while some do not have any, such as red blood cells. The nucleus is the largest membrane-bound organelle. Specifically, it is responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information. The nucleus is surrounded by a selective nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope is composed of two membranes joined at regular intervals to form circular openings called nuclear pores. The pores allow RNA molecules and proteins modulating DNA expression to move through the pores and into the cytosol. The selection process is controlled by an energy-dependent process that alters the diameter of the pores in response to signals. Inside the nucleus, DNA and proteins associate to form a network of threads called chromatin. The chromatin becomes vital at the time of cell division as it becomes tightly condensed thus forming the rodlike chromosomes with the enmeshed DNA. Inside the nucleus is a filamentous region called the nucleolus. This serves as a site where the RNA and protein components of ribosomes are assembled. The nucleolus is not membrane bound, but rather just a region.
  2. Ribosomes are the sites where protein molecules are synthesized from amino acids. They are composed of proteins and RNA. Some ribosomes are found bound to granular endoplasmic reticulum, while others are free in the cytoplasm. The proteins synthesized on ribosomes bound to granular endoplasmic reticulum are transferred from the lumen (open space inside endoplasmic reticulum) to the golgi apparatus for secretion outside the cell or distribution to other organelles. The proteins that are synthesized of free ribosomes are released into the cytosol.
  3. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is collectively a network of membranes enclosing a singular continuous space. As mentioned earlier, granular endoplasmic reticulum is associated with ribosomes (giving the exterior surface a rough, or granular appearance). Sometimes granular endoplasmic reticulum is referred to as rough ER. The granular ER is involved in packaging proteins for the golgi apparatus. The agranular, or smooth, ER lacks ribosomes and is the site of lipid synthesis. In addition, the agranular ER stores and releases calcium ions (Ca 2+ ).
  4. The golgi apparatus is a membranous sac that serves to modify and sort proteins into secretory/transport vesicles. The vesicles are then delivered to other cell organelles and the plasma membrane. Most cells have at least one golgi apparatus, although some may have multiple. The apparatus is usually located near the nucleus.
  5. Endosomes are membrane-bound tubular and vesicular structures located between the plasma membrane and the golgi apparatus. They serve to sort and direct vesicular traffic by pinching off vesicles or fusing with them.
  6. Mitochondria are some of the most important structures in the cell. They are they site of various chemical processes involved in the synthesis of energy packets called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Each mitochondrion is surrounded by two membranes. The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner one is folded into tubule structures called cristae. Mitochondria are unique in that they contain small amounts of DNA containing the genes for the synthesis of some mitochondrial proteins. The DNA is inherited solely from the mother. Cells with greater activity have more mitochondria, while those that are less active have less need for energy producing mitochondria.
  7. Lysosomes are bound by a single membrane and contain highly acidic fluid. The fluid acts as digesting enzymes for breaking down bacteria and cell debris. They play an important from in the cells of the immune system.
  8. Peroxisomes are also bound by a single membrane. They consume oxygen and work to drive reactions that remove hydrogen from various molecules in the form of hydrogen peroxide. They are important in maintaining the chemical balances within the cell.
  9. The cytoskeleton is a filamentous network of proteins that are associated with the processes that maintain and change cell shape and produce cell movements in animal and bacteria cells. In plants, it is responsible for maintaining structures within the plant cell, rather then whole cell movement. The cytoskeleton also forms tracks along which cell organelles move propelled by contractile proteins attached to their various surfaces. Like a little highway infrastructure inside the cell. Three types of filaments make up the cytoskeleton.
    1. Microfilaments are the thinnest and most abundant of the cytoskeleton proteins. They are composed of actin, a contractile protein, and can be assembled and disassembled quickly according to the needs of the cell or organelle structure.
    2. Intermediate filaments are slightly larger in diameter and are found most extensively in regions of cells that are going to be subjected to stress. Once these filaments are assembled they are not capable of rapid disassembly.
    3. Microtubules are hollow tubes composed of a protein called tubulin. They are the thickest and most rigid of the filaments. Microtubules are present in the axons and long dendrite projections of nerve cells. They are capable of rapid assembly and disassembly according to need. Microtubules are structured around a cell region called the centrosome, which surrounds two centrioles composed of 9 sets of fused microtubules. These are important in cell division when the centrosome generates the microtubluar spindle fibers necessary for chromosome separation.
  10. Chloroplasts

    It is necessary to note a bit about the form of chloroplasts, as you will encounter them throughout this tutorial. Inside a chloroplast is a matrix called the stroma. Enzymes are found in the stroma as well as grana-stacks of coin-shaped discs, called thylakoids. It is within the thylakoids that photosynthesis takes place. Note that chloroplasts, like mitochondria contain their own DNA. They do rely on proteins from the nucleus, and are considered semi-autonomous organelles. Photosynthesis will be discussed in greater detail in the Plant Metabolism tutorial.

  11. Vacuoles

    Plant cells are also notorious for having huge vacuoles. Up to 90% of the volume of a mature cell may be taken up by a single large vacuole or several vacuoles. The vacuole is bound by a special membrane, called the tonoplast, and contains cell sap-which is composed of dissolved substances and may include pigments.

What is an animal called when the animal that kills the animal?

When an animal kills another animal, the animal that kills that animal is called the predator, while the eaten is called the prey. Let's use a bird and a worm for example, the bird is the predator because it eats the worm, and the worm is the prey because it gets eaten.

What are the main problems facing the Bahamas today?

The Bahamas, like all the Caribbean islands, are vulnerable to hurricanes. The economy of the Bahamas depends heavily on tourism, which can be a problem when not enough tourists travel there.

How does a chicken egg get fertilized?

The male chicken or rooster chooses a hen from the flock and does a mating dance or display for her. This lets her know she has been chosen to mate with the male. He will do little sidesteps and circles around her, then dip his wings. He sometimes drags his wings on the ground. At a certain point in this dance he grabs her by the feathers at the back of her neck. The hen will flatten out or squat down to the ground and the rooster steps up onto her back while still holding onto the feathers of her neck for balance. The hen lifts her tail slightly to offer access to her cloaca and the rooster touches his cloaca to hers. There is no penetration of sexual organs as happens with mammals since a birds anatomy is different. A Sperm packet is transferred to the hen via this contact. This is all over in 15 to 30 seconds and the rooster goes on to find another hen to mate with.

For a plant and animal to be truly interdependent what must happen?

The plant must need the animal for something, while the animal must need something from the plant.

Is satin is from animal or plant?

Satin is a type of fabric that is made from silk, polyester, or nylon fibers, which are all synthetic or man-made materials. It is not derived from animals or plants directly.
