Can cows get drunk from apples and pears?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Apples and pears have to be fermented for a long period of time to have enough alcoholic content to make a large bovine like a cow drunk. And even then it would take a lot of fermented apples and pears to be able to make a cow drunk. But fresh apples and pears? No, not a chance. Fresh apples and pears have very little to no alcohol in them anyway.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Possibility 1) They hang a bottle in a pear tree with the fruit bud inside the bottle. It grows in there - not common anymore. Possibility 2) The Glass Bottle consists of a threaded bottom part. The pear is put into the bottle, then the bottom is "screwed" onto the rest of the bottle which will eventually seal the two parts together as well.

What is a pear made out of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Natural pearls Contrary to popular belief, a natural pearls is not formed by a grain of sand. This story is an urban legend. A natural pearl forms inside a bivalve mollusk when the shell has been invaded by a parasite or damaged. The most common reason a natural pearl will develop is due to parasitic invasion. The parasite wil burrow through the periostracum layer (outer layer) of a mollusk shell and into the mother-of-pearl beneath. When the parasite penetrates the mother of pearl in comes in contact with the mollusk's mantle muscle. This muscle contains cells known as epithelial cells. These cells produce a substance called nacre which coats the inside of the shell (mother-of-pearl) and is the substance of which a pearl is composed. The parasite becomes lodged in this mantle muscle and dies. The mollusk's definsive reaction is to grow a sac around the intruder. This sac is called the pearl sac. Once the sac encases the intruder the cells begin to deposit nacre- which is composed of aragonite and calcite (a calcium carbonate compound) platelets. Cultured Pearls Cultured (marine) pearls are grown by inserting a rounded bead of mother-of-pearl and a piece of mantle tissue containing epithelial cells from a donor mollusk into the gonad, or reproductive organ, of a host mollusk. The donor tissue grows into a pearl sac around the bead. As in natural pearl production, this sac then deposits nacre.
