What is the difference between penicillin used on humans versus animals?

The question is unclear and sounds like the outcome of penicillin for us to use against animal contamination, but if you mean what effect penicillin has on animals, it would depend on the biological makeup of the animal. As with humans, some of us have an allergy to penicillin and can become quite ill even thought it was made to help cure us against infection and disease. On the other hand, there have been reports of no effects of penicillin on both some humans and some animals.

It would be logical to assume that some animals will suffer adverse effects of penicillin, but I would hope than any administration of such a drug is for their healing and not for testing. I am sure that many humans would be happy to be test dummies as we are the best candidates, especially if we know that animals were tested on and suffered for our own mortality and well being.

Does a woman exert higher pressure on the ground when she is wearing high heels or flat sole shoes?

They both exert the same amount of force theoretically, it's just that the force exerted on the floor by the high-heel spike is more concentrated.

High heel - less surface area, more concentrated force.

Work boot - more surface area, less concentrated force.

What is the difference between hydrostatic skeletons endoskeletons and exoskeletons?

An endoskeleton is internal and grows with the body; An exoskeleton is external and requires shedding when the body grows too big for it; A hydrostatic skeleton is comprised of liquid keeping the body's shape.

What is the difference between a frogs toads and salamanders?

Salamanders are the only group with a fully developed tail. All frogs lack a tail without exception. The frogs do develop a tail in the larval stage but it gets lost after metamorfosis.

There is a third group of amfibians: the Gymnophiona or caecilians . These generally have a shorter tail, soms species lach a tail. All caecilians are worm-like wether they have a tal or not. The presence of a tail in this group is only visible on the underside. In tailless species, the cloaca is at the end of the body, in tailcarrying species it is more to the middle.

What is the differences between flies eyes and human eyes?

the human eye and frog eye are both socketed, meaning they do not protrude from the skull. They are different in that the human eye is more advanced than the frog's eye in various ways as it is connected to the brain. Frogs are not colour-blind, they actually have colour reception about as great as a human's.

I don't know the above reasoning but want to add here that "Basic difference between a Human and Frog eye is that a human eye can detect the picture (scene) with out any movement (or phase change) as well as the movement while a Frog's eye is blind for a still picture and only detects a phase change" Also, because frogs have small brains, they base their decisions on reactions occurring in the eye and not the brain, which is how humans make decisions.

e.g:

If you hang a fly in front of a frog without any movement, then there is no reaction from the frog but when you give a very small movement that is a phase change, the Frog at once detect it and then attack on the fly.

How many years difference is it between a rabbit and a human?

Rabbits have an average lifespan of 6 - 10 years and they are considered fully grown by 8 months to a year old. The average human lifespan is currently estimated at 70 - 75 years and a human is generally considered fully grown by about 18 - 20 years old. So in comparison, a rabbit could be said to mature as much as 25 times faster than a human, but then the aging factor slows down to only about 8 - 10 times faster once adulthood is reached.

What is the Difference between a pomeranian and a Maltese?

The Pomeranian and the chihuahua are worlds apart in difference. The chihuahua belongs to the southern pariah clade of dogs, and the pomeranian belongs to the northern spitz clade of dogs. both come from completely opposite sides of the planet!

Chihuahuas are New World dogs genetically. Their origing is surrounded in mystery, but their ancestors were among the dogs and wolves that came to the New world with nomadic tribes, and eventually got to looking their way among the Aztecs, Toltecs and Mayans. Black Chihuahuas were especially prized as agents of the spirit world. It was a black dog's job to guide a man's spirit through the trials and journey of the underworld. That dog was the chihuahua and its ancestor the techichi. They may look like refined, fragile little lap dogs, but the are tough dogs with a very ancient outlook on life, though they seem to remember that they were once prized and sort of worshipped.

Pomeranians are the smallest dogs in the spitz family. They are actually very far removed from wolves, but they were bred to work in the cold environment of Northern Europe. The Pomeranian was directly bred down from the german spitz into its current size. They were prized as lap dogs and sleeve dogs for the rich. Pomeranians look tough but they are much more fragile than a chihuahua.

To understand the difference between a long haired chiahuahua and a pomeranian, you first need to look at the dog's proportion. Chihuahuas are "cobby" a term which means that their legs (hip to ground and shoulder to ground) are slightly shorter than the length of their spine. They look like a rectangle in profile. Pomeranians are "short-backed" which means that their legs are the same length or longer than their spine. in profile, they look square.

Look at the bone structure. Pomeranians have much heavier bone structure compared to an identically sized chihuahua. Pomeranians looks sturdy. Chihuahuas look gracile.

Look at the head in proportion to the body. A Pomeranian's head should look in proportion to the rest of the body. Chihuahua heads tend to look a bit big for their body. Chihuahuas have a domed skull, pomeranians do not, although this can be hard to tell with the massive amount of fuzz they can have up top. Chihuahua eyes tend to be larger in proportion to the head than a similarly sized pom.

Chihuahuas may have a molera, or soft spot, on their heads similar to the way human babies do. Pomeranians never have this feature. And is it any wonder? Chihuahuas have the biggest brain to body proportion of any other dog. all that brain still needs to be born safely, after all. Pomeranians have a foxy face, which is sort of wedge shaped.

Pomeranian ears are "erect" Chihuahua ears are "bat" Pom ears are always held high, they are not as big, and they are not as rounded as a chihuahua's ears. When a dog's ears are at rest, take a look at the triangle between the tips of the ears and the point of the nose. A chihuahua forms an equilateral triangle. a pom is more accute.

Look at the tail. Poms carry their tail high over the back or curled. Chihuahua tails are sickle shaped. Chihuahuas have full range of motion in their tails, much more wolflike, where it can curl into a sickle but also curl under or sideways with ease. The tail is not always carried high. Pom tails are much stiffer. They do not bend as easily as a Chihuahua's tail.

Now feel the dog. Chihuahuas can have double coats that are very fluffy, and poms can have coats that are very flat, but you are feeling for the texture of the guard hair. Poms have a coarse outer coat that is stiff to the touch and very dense. It should be a little difficult to feel all the way down to the skin of the dog. Chihuahua outer coats are soft, fine and silky and sometimes curly especially around the mane and fringes. It should be very easy to feel the skin of the dog through the fur. In chihuahuas the mane and the fringes on the ears and behind the forelegs, and the pants on the back legs tend to be longer than the rest of the fur. The chihuahua tail is also a banner of even longer soft fur. Pomeranian fur tends to be the same length all over. Pomeranians tend to blow their undercoats once or twice a year. Chihuahuas do not, they shed all the time.

BUt despite all the differences it can be hard to tell due to sometimes poor breeding. Both dogs are meant to be 2-6 pounds, (1-2kg), both dogs can come in any color, both have the same popular colors of fawn, sable, black and tan, brindle, merle, solid color, piebald. Chihuahuas are healthier overall and longer lived by 2 years on average. Pomeranianas tend to be more timid.

What is the difference between the emu and the kiwi?

These birds, along with the rhea, are all flightless. Although they are classed as birds, they are among the very few birds that can't actually fly at all. They are members of a group of birds called ratites. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.

What is the difference between a platypus and a cat?

  • Platypuses live only in fresh water; monkeys live in trees on land.
  • Platypuses feed on small invertebrates, crustaceans and insect larvae; monkeys are omnivores, feeding on fruit, leaves, insects and grubs.
  • Platypuses have retractable webbing to help them swim; monkeys have no such feature, but they do have prehensile tails.
