The poison dart is classified as a living because it has all the 6 characteristics a living thing should have. The first characteristic is that it should be made of cells and it’s obvious because everything in this world living or nonliving are made out of cells. The poison dart frog obviously uses energy because it can catch animals and can move. The third characteristic is if it can reproduce and it can. The fourth characteristic is if it has homeostasis and cold-blooded animals don’t have a constant body temperature. The fifth characteristic is if it can grow and poison dart frogs can grow up to 6cm. The last characteristic is if it has the chemicals of life and it does have
The professor points out that young cane toads and their eggs live in rivers and streams and water flow young toads from one side of the river to the other side. Therefore, the professor adds that even if few of the cane toads could
1.Frog can be skinned easily. – Because of its loose attachment. 2. Frog lacks cheek. – Because mouth extends from one ear to another.
For the 6th writing, I have decided to list five facts about cottonmouth snakes or Agkistrodon piscivorus. The cottonmouth snake is the only venomous water snake in North America, when bitten the bite leads to painful and potentially fatal effects although they barely bite humans. The cottonmouth snake has various names such as the water moccasin, black moccasin, gaper, mangrove rattler, snap jaw, stub-tail snake, swamp lion, trap jaw, water mamba and water pilot but the name ‘cottonmouth’ comes from the white coloration around and inside the snake’s mouth. Cottonmouth snakes are a type of pit vipers, which means they have heat-sensing pits between the eyes and nostrils, according to the website “livescience.com” These pits allow the snake
This means that a person should take precaution in the way they present themselves as well as how they behave. This was a way for the Indians to teach their children right from wrong. Another characteristic is that of a symbolic landmark. “Involves attributing human characteristics to landmark formations or inanimate objects” (Millisaw). This means that the author or story teller would give trees the ability to walk or dogs the ability to talk.
The bull frog has a long and fast tongue to catch their prey with. The bull frog is well populated I would say due to how many eggs they lay. The skin type is permeable. The craziest thing I have ever heard is that a bull frog can lay around 20,000 eggs, which is a lot of eggs which all them eggs float together.
The Cane toad also referred to as Rhinella Mirina is an invasive toad species that is native to subtropic South America. Although they are native to subtropical rain forests, they show a preference for areas modified by humans such as gardens and drainage ditches. These toads reproduce very rapidly and have very few predators due to the toxin present on their skin and parotoid glands behind their eyes. These toads are considered pests due to the havoc they wreck on the other species within the ecosystem.
However, Frog Lake is connected to a water system by a small stream, thus allowing predators such as salmon to enter the lake. Twenty fish were collected from each lake and then put into a solution that stains the fish's bones. This makes
According the data from the experiments, the decreasing amount of leaf litter is a potential threat to strawberry poison dart frogs. This relationship occurs because moist habitats under leaves are essential in keeping the frogs' skin moist. Also, the
Domestic violence is a fast growing worldwide phenomenon which expresses through physical and psychological abuse of the victim by the violent side. As part of it, there are men who abuse their women in different ways, who can be categorized as "Pit-bulls" or "Cobras" by different features. In this essay I will present differences and similarities between the two types of abusive men. On the one hand, "Cobras" and "Pit-bulls" are very alike when it comes to decision making, because they have both chosen a violent pattern of aggression and abuse in order to deal with marriage or couple conflicts instead of using other ways such as: using more verbal communication with their women, getting professional help from a marriage/couple counselor or putting more time and effort into working marriage/couple problems out in a creative way. But, the two types make a full aware choice of turning to violence and abuse as a solution to problems, they do have different ways of expressing it, but the decision to turn to violence remains the same.
Petrunkevitch uses a scientific and literal style and explores a stated thesis. Petrunkevitch uses factual and literal information throughout his essay to achieve his purpose of, conveying the relationship between intelligence and instinct within the actions of the insects. Petrunkevitch uses facts such as “a fertilized female tarantula lays from 200 to 400 eggs” to help the reader…. Petrunkevitch also uses factual information to help the reader understand what is going on and understand the insects more. “Each species of Pepsis requires a certain species of tarantula, and the wasp will not attack the wrong species”, specifying the species and clarifying these topics helps the reader understand the predicament of the spider and wasp and understand
Biotic components of ecosystems include plants, animals, and fungi living in that ecosystem that interact with the environment and other abiotic and biotic components. 8. Create a chart of the major characteristics of and differences between the following terrestrial biomes: Tundra, taiga, grasslands, temperate deciduous forest, desert, monsoon rainforest, tropical rainforest. 9. Create a chart of the major characteristics of and differences between the following aquatic biomes: freshwater ecosystems such as lakes, wetlands, and streams, marine biomes such as estuaries, intertidal zone, neritic zone, open sea zone, and deep sea zone.
In Gerald Haslam’s “The Horned Toad,” The story takes place in Oildale, California in the mid-1940’s. This family does have some problems about how close they are, and the four characters do not really have a stable relationship. However, three out of the four characters change positively. Grandma changes from a judgmental woman to a helpful woman.
Cane toads are an invasive species in Australia with a range of significant impacts on the Australian environment. They were introduced to Australia from Hawaii during 1935, and their population has since grown to approximately 200million, despite multiple attempts at controlling the growth. They primarily inhabit Queensland, New South Wales and Northern Territory. Adult cane toads are usually heavy-built and weigh an average of 1.8kg, with warty skin (wikipedia.org, 2015). They pose a risk to many large predators that are poisoned when they try to eat their highly toxic bodies (Shine, 2014).
These requirements for a certain life form are considered there ecological niche. To understand this more thoroughly, if we restricted a species in the forest to, a certain level of temperatures, nutrients, and pH levels then we would categorize each factor, such as the minimum temperature and a maximum temperature. We could also do the same with nutrients as well as other constraints such as water temperature or pH within food. As we can see every niche can be measured, have a range established, the space can have a set of values of how likely a species can be found. This is known as ecological phase space, which defines or means that no two species will control the same niche space, but they will compete for
