Herbivore

Managers focus on white-tailed deer as an economic commodity, as hunting leases can be an important source of income (Bartoskewitz et al. 2003). It is suggested that white-tailed deer are probably the most popular big game animal in the world (Hiller 1996). In the United States, white-tailed deer contribute billions of dollars to the nation’s economy each year in the form of hunts, which support wildlife research and management (Hiller 1996). Many landowners and managers have adopted the use of…

Reflective Journal 3- How Plants Tell Time After reviewing chapters six and seven in the Biology Life on Earth textbook while also considering the video titled How Plants Tell Time, it can be concluded that photosynthesis is the most important process on earth in regards to maintaining life. Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction, meaning that the products involved in the process have more energy than the reactants (Anderson, 18). Because of this endergonic reaction, plants are able to store…

its size. The question trying to be answered was how changes in the amount and nature of the plant life available in an ecosystem does, in fact, influence herbivore population growth over time. Answering this question will determine which environmental factor has the greatest impact on the population growth of herbivores. In this lab the herbivores, are rabbits, and the plant life is grass and weeds. A simulation was done to answer this question and to provide proof for an argument. The higher…

vegetarian that farts a lot? Have you ever wondered if people with plant based diets fart more than others? Are you considering a herbivore diet and curious about some of the changes that occur? Well you are in luck because today we will delve into that very topic! Both vegans and vegetarians fart far more than the average meat-eater. At least at first. Most herbivores will tell you that when they first began a plant-based diet they farted more frequently than before. Vegan and vegetarian diets…

consuming other life forms; plants gain their energy from conducting photosynthesis via sunlight. Consumers exist on the next level of the food chain. There are three main types of consumers: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. Herbivores feed on plants, carnivores get their food by eating other carnivores or herbivores, and omnivores can digest both plant and animal…

All organisms derive from one common ancestor; however, the reason why organisms do not all look alike is because of evolution. When it comes to survival of the fittest it is all about who can adapt the quickest and evolve in order to keep the species alive. Two main factors come into play in evolution: abiotic and biotic factors. Organisms are constantly fighting abiotic forces such as weather. Weather or change of weather is one of the biggest reasons for organisms evolving. When the climate…

top carnivores, not just one. Which they are owl, the hawk and the fox. Owl, the hawk, and the fox are shown as secondary and tertiary consumers. In this food web the deer is the primary consumer because it only feeds on plants, which makes it an herbivore. Food webs are more complex than food chains, but they represent what goes on in real life much better than a food chain. Producers are organisms that can make their own food using energy and simple inorganic compounds. Producers are also…

Whenever we begin to look at characteristics of herbivores and omnivores you can see that humans have the same characteristics as other herbivores and not omnivores or carnivores. Some characteristics of meat-eaters are, they have claws, no skin pores, perspire through the tongue, have sharp front teeth for tearing, no flat molar teeth for grinding…

1.0 Introduction The Daintree rainforest, a region located in tropical far north Queensland, is the biggest continuous rainforest in Australia (refer to figure 1 for location on map). Around 1,200 square kilometres in size, the Daintree rainforest is home to fast flowing streams and waterfalls to mountain ranges and dense rainforests, along with a variety of landscapes and a range of different and native flora and fauna. The forest is along the north coastline of the Daintree river, with…

After being lifted from the plate and placed in the mouth, the poor pizza goes on a long journey through the digestive system and eventually is turned into waste after passing through the 6 primary organs of the digestive tract: the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. The process of digestion starts when Bob the pizza is placed in the mouth. The main structures of the mouth are the teeth, tongue, salivary duct and oesophagus. Bob is killed, being chewed on by…
