Phosphate buffered saline is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. It is a water-based salt solution containing sodium phosphate, sodium chloride and, in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium phosphate. The osmolarity and ion concentrations of the solutions match those of the human body.

An ethologist studies animals in their natural habitat, focusing on their behavior, interactions with each other, and adaptations to their environment. This field of study helps to understand how animals survive and thrive in the wild.

No, the basement membrane is not a living layer. It is a thin layer of extracellular matrix that separates and anchors epithelial and endothelial cells to the underlying connective tissue.

Actually the Aye-aye's biggest predator is humans. In some places Aye-ayes are considered harbingers of death and that if it enters your village or points it long middle finger at you either someone in the village will die or you will. The only way to stop it is to kill it. So their population had dropped dramatically. Slowlyit is being stopped, though.

Selective breeding was first practiced by the Mesoamericans and Romans in prehistory. It is the act of breeding different species of animals and plants to get offspring with certain desired traits.

Sessile and free-floating animals such as echinoderms and cnidarians exhibit two distinct advantages of radial symmetry. Primarily, radial symmetry allows for animals to reach out in all directions from one center such as during feeding. This is an advantage since they don't have a high degree of controllable movement even during food collecting periods. Secondarily, radial symmetric animals are able to receive stimuli from all directions which have efficient defense mechanisms due to their radial symmetric distribution.

A grasshopper has chewing mouthparts, called mandibles, that allow it to consume plant material. These strong mouthparts are used to tear and grind food before swallowing it.

Micropterus dolomieu is the latin name for smallmouth bass.

Yes, female aphids can give birth to males, but they cannot do so parthenogenically. Normally a female would reproduce asexually - she would give birth to exact clones of herself, but if she mates, she will then be capable of giving birth to unique aphids, both male and female.

Flying squirrels communicate through a combination of vocalizations, body language, and scent markings. They use calls and chirps to signal danger, attract mates, and establish territory. They also leave scent markings on trees and other surfaces to communicate their presence to other squirrels in the area.

The nostrils usually open and close about 20 times in one minute, whereas the throat moves up and down in synchrony with breathing, so it will move once for each breath taken. Therefore, the number of times the nostrils open and close in one minute would typically be more frequent than the number of times the throat moves up and down in one minute.

Zoology stays constant in that it is the study of animals and their living conditions in the wild. However, more of a focus is being placed on the study of endangered animals, how they are becoming endangered, and how to help increase their numbers.

Birds in the rain forest eat worms, insects and Spiders. Rain forest birds also eat berries and nuts, which are plentiful in a healthy rain forest.

During the Jurassic period, Earth's climate was generally warmer and more humid than today. Polar regions were ice-free, and forests covered much of the land. Dinosaurs flourished in this lush environment.

No this isn't a black widow...their red or orange markings are on the spiders belly since Black widows hang under their webs. The best guess is a jumping spider if the markings are visible when the spider is walking around.

The Australian Redback Widow is the exception to the rule, it's markings as it's name implies on on the back.

A zookeeper has many many tools. I am a zookeeper and here is a list of tools that my coworkers and I use on a daily to weekly to monthly basis. shovel, broom, push broom, hose, buckets, barrels, trash bins, wheelbarrows, wipe cloths, spray bottles, floor squeegee, hand squeegee, scrub brush, mop, carts, disposable gloves, boots, and more Some of us also carry "multitools" made by companies such as Leatherman or Gerber so that it is right by our side without us having to travel to a toolroom for something as simple as a loose screw. We also use "normal" tools like screwdrivers, hammers, chainsaws, lawnmowers, ratchet sets, nails, screws, etc on an as needed basis.

To raise the tank height for the orca in Marine Park Empire, you can click on the tank, then click on the green arrow button to increase the tank's elevation. This will adjust the water level within the tank to accommodate the orca.

Zoologists can make advancements in areas such as understanding animal behavior, conservation techniques, genetics, and species identification. They contribute to important research that helps inform wildlife management practices and conservation efforts. Additionally, advancements in technology have allowed zoologists to study and track animals more effectively in their natural habitats.

Not really. You can work in any area such as Museums, Zoos, an Environmental Scientist for a mining company, DEC, etc.

It all depends on what animal field of study you are interested in.

Being a Zoology graduate does not necessarily mean that your only occupation is as a Zoo Keeper. One could simply pursue a TAFE Cert (need to contact the respective Zoo to find out which Cert is recognised) to become a qualified Zoo Keeper; as opposed to a BSc.

Good luck!

Wolves have been on Earth for approximately 800,000 years, evolving from ancient canids into the diverse species we know today. They are one of the oldest species of large carnivores and have adapted to a wide range of habitats around the world.

Sponges are often found in pineapples under the sea. Their characteristics are: prism shaped, consist of rectangular pants and big comical eyes. They are known to socialize with local starfish.

Their characteristics are; They are all invertebrates that usually have no body symmetry, and never have tissues or organs.

Although sponges do not have tissues, they have cells that are specialized for different functions. For example, collar cells move water through a sponge and trap food.
