I believe Red panda are very important for many ecosystems. Red pandas are smart intelligent animal. Red pandas are more related to the raccoon then a the giant panda. Red pandas can be dangerous if you threaded them . Red panda are endangered because the home forests are getting smaller and smaller. The Red panda are very fun animal to watch. There habbit is the cooled temperature in the bamboo forests. these bamboo forests are located in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Xizang provinces in…
Jurassic Park is a movie that people of many ages have loved for many years. The science in the movie is an extension of the true discoveries of molecular biology. However scientists have already been able to clone sheep and mice and they can also change colors in trout to make them easier to catch. To clone dinosaurs in the film they needed a complete set of dinosaur-DNA. The scientist extracted the DNA from the blood of a fossilized mosquito. The mosquito landed on the dinosaur and sucked…
The mechanism of evolution occurs from natural selection, where the favorable traits are preserved and the unfavorable traits are destroyed. In Revenge of the Nerds, the author Steven Pinker claims that our common ancestor had four traits that led to the evolution of the modern human, which in turn established a foundation for humankind’s intelligence. Pinker states that the four traits are vision, group living, the ability of the hand, and hunting. In support of these four reasons, Pinker…
The Formosan Clouded Leopard, the Japanese River Otter, the Western Black Rhinoceros, and the Alaotra Grebe; what does each of these species have in common? They are all extinct. Extinction is not necessarily a bad thing like how most people know it to be. It is perfectly normal for species to naturally die off, but not at the rate that it is going now. There are natural abnormalities in the extinction rate, like with the dinosaurs and their meteor, but not this time. These species are just…
types of eaters varies. The un-digestible waste travels through the bowels and exits from the anus as feces. Because omnivores eat both plant matter and animal protein, the macromolecules that they consume are much more diverse than carnivores or herbivores. The primary macromolecules, especially with human mammals, are carbohydrates. Most omnivores also consume proteins, lipids as fats, and some nucleic acids in the form of DNA within other animals.…
1.) Three abiotic factors are energy, climate and weather. Three biotic factors are plants, animals and bacteria. 6.) Natural selection is the process that determines which individuals within a species will reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Genes that are advantageous are more likely to be passed on. Death is part of the process of natural selection, species which fail die. The number of offspring, pass on the beneficial genes to the organism. 13.) Parasitism, mutualism and…
Healthy oceans depend on shark populations to control other species’ populations and genetic diversity. The Earth Island Journal investigated current shark populations and determined that the ocean food web relies on shark populations to keep other species' populations (Shark 12). This event, known as trophic cascade, occurs when a top predator disappears from the food chain and the next trophic level (the animals the predators eat) overpopulate and eat all of their available prey and grasses.…
caribou habitats. The caribou does not play an extremely important role in its environment due to there being so many similar animals, but it does play a role. If caribou were to go extinct there would be more vegetation readily available for other herbivores but not all animals would be capable of getting to it. The caribou use their snowshoe-like feet to push snow away to get to vegetation, and clear the way for other animals to get to the animals living under the snow and ice. Also, humans…
resident moose population of Isle Royale, Michigan, where wolves had remarkable effects on forest composition. This was also revealed when top-predators of vertebrates were removed from a tropical forest in Venezuela, demonstrating an increase in herbivore population while producing a decline in tree seedling density (Frank 2008). As Frank noted, when there is a tight trophic linkage between consumers, plants, and decomposers in grassland and aquatic areas, a strong event of predator effects…
What’s the Right Theory About the Dinosaurs? In many theories about the dinosaurs disappearing many say meteors are the reason, is that true? The many theories about dinosaurs disappearing is a huge meteor or asteroid,climate change, volcanic eruptions, lava,and fractured crystals. At the same time there are over 40 theories of why the dinosaurs disappeared, but I only listed the most important ones that were mentioned the most. The biggest theory of all of them is the Asteroid , people think…
