Can gorillas walk on two legs?
They technically can, however they typically don't as they find it much easier to walk on both their legs and their hands at the same time. If you tied a banana to a stick and waved it above them from a height they might walk on two legs for a while but that would generally be a bad idea as a gorilla can kill a man quite easily and probably will do as such to acquire food and stop you from annoying it further.
What adaptations do mountain gorillas have?
Behavior
A silverback is an adult male gorilla, typically more than 12 years of age and named for the distinctive patch of silver hair on his back. A silverback gorilla has large canines that come with maturity. Black backs are sexually mature males of up to 11 years of age.
Silverbacks are the strong, dominant troop leaders. Each typically leads a troop of 5 to 30 gorillas and is the center of the troop's attention, making all the decisions, mediating conflicts, determining the movements of the group, leading the others to feeding sites and taking responsibility for the safety and well-being of the troop.
Males will slowly begin to leave their original troop when they are about 11 years old, traveling alone or with a group of other males for 2-5 years before being able to attract females to form a new group and start breeding. While infant gorillas normally stay with their mother for 3-4 years, silverbacks will care for weaned young orphans, though never to the extent of carrying the little gorillas.
If challenged by a younger or even by an outsider male, a silverback will scream, beat his chest, break branches, bare his teeth, then charge forward. Sometimes a younger male in the group can take over leadership from an old male. If the leader is killed by disease, accident, fighting or poachers, the group will split up, as the animals disperse to look for a new protective male. Very occasionally, a group might be taken over in its entirety by another male. There is a strong risk that the new male may kill the infants of the dead silverback.

Why males more aggressive than females?
I am a male but I'll have to be honest. The answer to this question is that this is the difference of hormones which makes men/males so angry and aggressive.
And also i want to say that the females have more maturity than males because the puberty in women/females starts earlier than males, and as you know puberty is a step to maturity and responsibilities.
What rainforest is a home to mountain gorillas?
Mountain gorillas can be found in the rainforests in Uganda. The mountain gorilla is an endangered species and there are only around 880 left in the wild.
Is the cell membrane permeable in animal cells?
I assume you mean semi-permerable membrane that is permeable to the solution (water) but not the solute (salt). Osmosis can only occur if the membrane does NOT allow salt to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low salt concentration to higher salt concentration.
Do lice mate?
Yes all living organisms need a male and female to reproduce (mate) although in ancient times it was believed that they were born from dirt since they were to small to see the mating. This is referenced in the Jewish Babylonian Talmud in the tractate discussing the laws of the Sabbath when killing anything for any reason (other than life or death i.e an alligator attacking you on Saturday) would normally be forbidden it is permitted to kill lice since at the time they thought they do not procreate rather are spontaneously born from dirt and dust.
lice need to mate because if they don't they wont have nits and here is a tip use a prescription from the docter even though it stinks its better to buy that oh and lice hate hair spray
Ok, first, the above is not completely correct on several accounts...
Nits and lice are NOT the same thing.
No, not ALL living organisms need to have a mate (ie, snails, worms, etc.) Yes, ADULT lice DO, in fact, mate. The female louse then lays eggs close to the scalp.
However, the usual solution to get rid of bugs is to make yourself clean, clean, clean. This is NOT the right thing to do. Lice actually live better in a clean environment, as it's easier to move throughout clean hair than it is dirty. I don't mean go weeks without showering. While some prescriptions work, I haven't found one that works for everybody, and most people I know are allergic to at least two out of three. I would suggest using Lavender oil, shampoo & conditioner. No, really. The lavender oils not only coat them making them unable to breathe, but they actually dislike the smell. For you guys who can't stand the thought of smelling "girly", I would suggest tea tree oil. Also, if you happen to be allergic to both oils, try mayonnaise. Put a medium coating throughout your hair, put a plastic grocery bag over it, and let it set for 2-3 hours. Just make sure there aren't any air bubbles they could escape into. The mayonnaise will also act like a conditioner and make your hair super shiny and soft. Good luck!
Do salamanders have internal or external fertilization?
Frogs use external fertilization.
both mates will excrete mucus out of their bodies... the mucus contains their sex cells... therefore, the male and female mucus will mix up and causes fertilization.
External, the female lays eggs onto small braches, leaves or rocks in a pond/ river or close to a water source, the male then fertilizes them (externally), in most cases as the female is laying the eggs
Rigid layer that surrounds a plant cell providing structural support?
The cell wall. In plants, the cell wall is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. This helps the cell maintain rigidity, and also prevents bursting if excess amounts of water enter the cell.
How fish take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide?
Yes because when the fish absorbes the oxygen from the water it then must get rid of the by-product. This process is called respiration which is taking in oxygen and expelling carbon doixide only speeking in the respiration of gases in a living thing.
Cool.
What happens if there are more people than plants in the community?
When there are too many plants, some of them are crowded out their neighbors and die. This happens all the time anyway; things die, and new things grow in their places. There cannot actually be "too many" plants.
Can fungus move place to place?
Most species of fungi are not not able to move on their own. However, some are able to forcibly discharge their spores, such as Pilobulos. Chytrid fungi have a flagellum on their spore; thus, they are able to move on their own.

What is the greatest problem facing the people in the world today?
Here are opinions from WikiAnswers contributors:
Too many people! Notwithstanding American "diets", we grow 1200 cal of food per person (all 6 billion) per day - and half of that is lost, spoilage, insects and other vermin. If the average is 600, and we eat 2400 guess how many people are staving.
- Poverty and a lack of access to water and sanitation. Both cause massive amounts of disease and death worldwide.
ANSWER:
The greatest problem facing the people in the world today is our own stubborn and willful refusal to accept responsibilities for our actions. We are the species that introduced the notion of atomic global destruction to the world and all we seem to be able to do about it is point our fingers at faceless governments and assign blame. We shake our heads sadly and sigh: "If only the leaders would lead then the people would surely follow." The best we seem to be able to muster up in dealing with nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction is protest. Protest is fine, but it's not enough. Demanding stricter controls from governments proven to be incompetent will not handle this problem nor will any mutually assured destruction solve this problem. This particular problem is overwhelmingly complex and requires a people much wiser and stronger than we are today.
The age we live in today is often called the age of information but if anyone is really paying attention it appears to be more like the age of disinformation. Propaganda abounds across the globe and it is only effective because people are such easy prey to propaganda. It requires a higher level of awareness to discern fact from fiction and truth from talk. That level of awareness will not be accomplished before we learn how to accept responsibility for our actions. Accepting responsibility for our actions requires we become more honest with ourselves and admit we are too lazy and to willing to stagnate on all levels. Our marriages fail because we don't make the effort to keep them working, our children become estranged because we don't make the time for them, our communities fall into disrepair because we let them crumble, all the while waiting for someone else, some expert or someone wiser than us to fix our problems. We eat to much fast food and then turn to our doctors expecting some sort of little yellow pill that can correct the imbalance we created because we eat garbage for sustenance. We turn to psychiatrists and psychologists asking for medication that will help us ignore the mess we've created so we might keep plodding forth making bigger messes. We hide in our churches scolding others because they aren't as holy as we are ignoring the message that comes with attending church. We blame, and we blame and we blame, never satisfied with the results of blaming and so, astonishingly we blame some more.
We are woefully human and to err is human but there is evidence that we are also divine. We build remarkable cities filled with breathtaking edifices and homes, we build dams, superhighway's and learn the mechanics of rocket science. We care and we love just as deeply as we are indifferent or hate. We discover that our actions and thoughts are caused by synapses in the nervous system and brain but we wonder if that is so, how is it we know about synapses. We are much, much more than we've ever been and when we finally figure out how to accept responsibility for each and every one of our actions, we will finally become all that we are and all we are supposed to be. This is quite a problem and solving this problem will not be easy. It appears, however, that life is not easy. Life is hard and it is the struggle we make that defines who we are. All of us are capable of so much more than we have ever accomplished and perhaps one day, the people will face their problems until the only real problems we're confronted with are in the decisions we face in handling new problems. That will be an epoch to remember.

Clearly the greatest single problem which faces the world is overpopulation. The rate of increase has to be stopped in no time flat simply because there is going to be an ever increasing energy shortage which will continue to impact lives in ever increasing ways in time to come. This energy shortage will impact the ability of the peoples of this world to feed themselves in time to come. Arable land will be used up in cities and industrial areas. There will be crises which people will not be able to overcome.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any one who has ever flown in an airplane over the vast and wide open spaces of this planet would have to ignore the obvious in order to agree that it is clear that overpopulation is a problem at all let alone the single greatest problem the world faces. How would we stop population rises? Is some form of tyrannical licensing of parentage being advocated? Energy shortage? The single greatest abundance in the universe is hydrogen. We are better served to find ways to harnessing this abundant resource and creating a renewable source of energy than we are in oppressing the individual and demanding that we all stop being so successful at propagation. The world is still very large and the universe even larger.

Who would win a fight waka flocka or 50 cent?
well can you see how tall waka flocka is . hes 6'4" and hes got huge A$$ forearms & he weighs 220 pounds
HAHA 50 would win that straight up. Look up pictures of both of them shirtless you will find that waka is just a big oaf with a bit of a gut. 50 is straight muscle and i would bet is a lot tougher than waka, hes been shot 9 times...including the face. 50 hands down. 50s arms are actually bigger than wakas btw.
Neck - where the cap attaches
Core- where the coolant circulates exposed to external air flow
Case- holds everything together
