Thermoregulation includes all phenomena in which an organism maintains a mean or variance of body temperature that diverts from a null expectation, defined by random use of thermal microclimates and passive exchange of heat with the environment (Akin, 2011; Kemp & Krockenberger, 2002;). In Biomimicry, through studying thermoregulation, human beings can apply nature’s techniques to architecture when designing buildings. Present temperature systems are using a lot of energy, especially to…

While the increasing world population stimulates an increase in demand for resources, human activities have been changing the makeup of the atmosphere, damaging the environment which provides those resources. Common practices such as burning fossil fuels and removing forests have released unprecedented amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, resulting in a worldwide increase in temperatures referred to as climate change. This increase in heat alters water cycles, effecting significant…

The lion is known as king of the jungle. Lions commonly found in Africa, from Europe to Iran, and India. Nowadays, lions currently exist in Africa and India. African lions are called as Panthera Leo. Sometime they are called big cats of wild. There is one interesting fact about lion is that “both male and female lions roar, and that roar can be heard over five miles away” (qtd. in “Basic Facts about Lions”). The Tree Life of Web Project states, “Lions belong to the genus Panthera which contains…

Introduction The common name of the Vulpes vulpes is the red fox. The red fox has a relatively long body with dense fur. The fur is typically a rusty red color and the legs are darker in color, sometimes even black. Foxes have black pointed ears and long canine teeth. On their underside, the fur is white from their nose down to their belly, orangish-red fur on its back, sides, and head. Red foxes have white fur under their neck and on their chest. A male fox, also called a “dog” weighs…

The greatest challenge that humanity will face in this century is how to halt climate change in its tracks. Carbon dioxide levels are increasing, the polar ice caps are melting, the seas are rising, the weather is more extreme, and the deserts are becoming larger. Yet, population is increasing and will continue to for a long time. People are still burning fossil fuels and are, in general, eating more meat. In 2009, the per capita meat consumption in the United States was 120.20 kilograms, which…

this could happen. This experiment gives an idea as to what happens when a cell experiences both a hypotonic state and hypertonic state. A real world example of a hypotonic state is when a cactus stores/soak up water in order to survive in the desert biome. A good example of a hypertonic state is when grass becomes dry, the area surrounding it may full of water but the inside the grass it is barren. The experiment explained the processes of a hypertonic state, where the egg began to shrink due…

The Power of Water In accordance with current consumption rates, the earth is projected to run out of coal in one hundred and ten years, natural gas in fifty-four years, and oil in a mere fifty-three years. Once this depletion of resources has occurred, humans will have no choice but to rely on alternative sources of energy in order to maintain a standard of living and to preserve order within society. Finding a reliable alternative to nonrenewable energy, therefore, has become of utmost…

deforestation. It is not a Good path for our planet, as it is killing it over time, and in turn harming the human population, so it needs to change and/or come to an end. In order to do that, we, as a community, need to stop cutting down entire forests and biomes, or at least properly replace what we take so as not to cause so much unnecessary destruction and death. By replacement I mean replanting, and that is Good for the planet as it keeps up oxygen production and the environment, and thus is…

Over the past few decades, urbanisation has been developing exponentially across the world with more than half of the human population making their way into cities. Cities, as products of urbanisation, become magnets for people looking for job opportunities, excellent infrastructure and efficient transport facilities. However, the sprawling nature of expanding cities has taken its toll on surrounding landscapes, with wild plants and animals being replaced with concrete buildings and paved roads…
