What are the names of all the land creatures?
It is impossible to provide the names of all land creatures as there are millions of species on Earth. Some examples include mammals (like elephants and lions), birds (such as sparrows and eagles), reptiles (like snakes and turtles), and insects (such as ants and butterflies).
What is a partly broken range house called?
A partly broken range house is typically referred to as a "fixer-upper" or a "renovation project". These terms imply that the house needs substantial repairs or upgrades in order to be fully functional or habitable.
Insects that live on land have a coating of wax on the outer surface of their body. what function might the wax serve for these anumals?
Not only land insects have such a coating; in fact water insects such as whirligig beetles and giant water beetles have such a thick and oily wax coating that they are almost too slippery to handle. They need their slippery coating partly to let them slip smoothly through the water and live in the water in much the same way as land insects can live on land. The wax layer of water insects is largely to protect them from the water and it does so better than a layer of Teflon could, resisting wetting for months on end, even though the insects never leave the water. The reason it can do that is that, unlike a Teflon layer, the waxy layer is constantly renewed. People speak of a waxy layer, and in some insects, especially desert insects, the layer is in fact solid wax, almost like the wax of a candle, although it is chemically somewhat different. (In case you were wondering about the chemistry, it is not an alkane, like candle wax, but mainly a mix of esters of long-chain fatty acids and long-chain fatty alcohols. It is not pure though, but intimately connected to proteins and other materials of the insect's cuticle.) However, in some insects, especially those living in places that are not dusty and are cool and often moist, the waxy coating is oily rather than solid. Examples of such insects include cockroaches and some kinds of termites. Water insects use their waxy layer to repel water, much as a raincoat does for humans. That way they can control the rate at which they otherwise might take up too much water. Thirst can kill, but too much water also can kill. For land insects however, loss of water is far more important. Their waxy layer, which in most species is so thin that it takes special microscopic techniques to be able to see it at all, serves mainly to prevent the insect from losing its water by drying out. Remember that insects are much smaller than humans are, so they have a very small amount of body material for each bit of skin. A beetle about as big as a fingernail has about 240 times as much skin for its mass as a human does, so it needs to avoid losing water through its skin about 240 times as carefully. Otherwise in dry air it would die of parching in a matter of minutes, rather than hours. Also remember that insects are arthropods, like spiders, scorpions, woodlice and so on. Each of these has its own protection from drying out, but it seems likely that the insects' wax layer is more effective and resists higher temperatures than those of most other arthropods. Some zoologists think that their wax layer is one of the main evolutionary advantages that permitted insects to be so successful compared to other arthropods. Certainly it is true that anything that seriously damages the waxy epicuticle is a serious problem for an insect. If the damage is not too serious most insects, especially long lived insects, like termite queens, can mend the damage; some very effective insecticides however, are totally nonpoisonous - they simply are powders that scratch or soak up the epicuticle waxes. The insects parch to death fairly quickly in dry air. Some people think that the reason that birds take dust baths is that the dust kills birdlice and other parasites in that way.
What animal lives partly in water partly on land?
Frogs start out as tadpoles in the water, and later go onto land. Turtles also go from land to water. Many reptiles and amphibians live their lives in such a manner.
What country did zoome originate from?
Zoome originated from Japan and was launched on the 30th of January 2007, the service grew quickly partly due to the popularity of Hatsune Miku during 2008. The service closed on the 31st of August 2011.
What do scientist believe is partly responsible for destroying your ozone layer?
CFC's are partly responsible. They react with ozone and deplete it.
What is wings partly hardened and partly membranous?
Wings that are partly hardened and partly membranous typically refer to the wings of certain insects, such as dragonflies and some species of beetles. These wings have a rigid, sclerotized (hardened) portion that provides structural support, while the membranous areas allow for flexibility and maneuverability during flight. This combination enables efficient movement and adaptability in various environments. Such wing structures are essential for the diverse flying abilities observed in these insect groups.
What was partly responsible for the trials of Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs?
a second Red Scare
The devil was partly responsible for the original sin of Adam and Eve true or false?
true
Was depression in Europe partly responsible for World War 2?
true. we needed the money.
What major composer was partly responsible for its development of the development of symphony?
Franz Joseph Haydn
Who was elected president of the confederate states of America?
Jefferson Davis - not a success, partly because he had wanted to be General-in-Chief and turned out a bad chooser and user of Generals.
What is the class for insects?
insects come under phylum Arthropoda they are only one of the two taxa adapted for dry terrestrial environment they are capable of flight. they are charecterised by metamerism chitinous exoskeleton and jointed appendages. they are classified into three sub phyla base don the number of tagmata and habitat and number of appendages moreover the name itsekf indicates the jointed legs and type of food habbit whether it is omnivore or carnivore or detritivorous
Which factor was partly responsible for increased timber demands during the Tokugawa shogunate?
increased urbanization
How do you know if your partly clogged leach field is responsible for your toilet overflowing?
Unclog the leach field and you'll find out
Who is responsible for bullying?
Adults that decide to bully others are usually responsible for themselves though it may stem from circumstances in their childhood. As for young children that decide to bully, while they are partly responsible, their parents or guardians are usually held responsible for what they do to others and how they behave.
What similarities do priests and pastors have?
They are responsible for managing the church they are in. They have to be educated about the religion that they preach. They have to fund raise, and are (partly) responsible for the religious education of their "flock". They are expected to spiritually lead their people.
