Vertebrate Zoology Word count: 1056 Dinosaur extinction: An analysis of events and theories that possibly led to the dinosaurs’ demise. Ever since the history of Earth has been studied using fossil records‚ extinctions have always been the object of fascination and interest‚ particularly the mass extinctions that occurred throughout Earth’s history. A mass extinction can be caused by disruptive global environmental changes‚ where large numbers of species have become extinct (Urry et al. 2008). There

One of the major factors that are leading to the extinction of animals is deforestation. Mass deforestation by human has cost a lot to the habitat of animals. The animals are being forced to move away from their natural habitat as it is being destroyed by human. Major source of food

governments should pay effort on saving the species from disappearance has become a controversial area. In the following essay‚ I am going to outline the reasons as well as argument for necessity of conducting such campaign. First of all‚ the environmental degradation is widely recognized as a primary reason. In fact‚ the deforestation and environment pollution have put creatures on the verge of extinction. Domestic apes in Vietnam‚ which have die out due to shrinking of tropical trees‚ could be taken

Introduction: We observe growth movements among plants in our daily life. Growth movements are curvature movements caused by differential or unequal growth in plant organs‚ which results in their bending in the direction of a particular stimuli‚ for instance light. Such movements which are induced by external stimuli are called trophic movements. A trophic movement of plant organs in response to the source of light is known as Phototropism. The stem grows towards the direction of light‚ and is

Extinction is the end of an organism or group of taxa. Extinctions occur when a species becomes unfit for survival in its natural habitat usually to be replaced by another‚ better-suited species. An organism becomes ill-suited for survival because its environment is changed or because its relationship to other organisms is altered as stated from Credo Reference. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of that particular species. Mass extinctions‚ however

Human Digestion Activity The digestive process involves the mixing of food‚ the movement of food through the digestive tract‚ and a chemical breakdown of large molecules of food into smaller molecules. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract and other organs that aid in digestion. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Those twisted tubes include the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and

Should We Be More Concerned With The Current Rate of Extinction? Preserving endangered species isn’t an unfamiliar concept – everyone has seen the tiger commercials looking for donations‚ and most people are familiar with the “Save the Whales!” ballyhoo‚ but the question is: is it as big of a concern as people make it out to be? Some people think no‚ it’s not because extinction is a natural process that has been occurring since life existed on Earth and that the issue is being exaggerated. However

The exact reason for the Pleistocene extinction is still not known‚ this data implies that top-down forces and humans are the reason the extinction happened. This data is important because during the Anthropocene humans continue to put animals at risk for another extinction. The authors used data from the Pleistocene and recent data to show that high rates of predation and humans could have lead to the extinction. Both carnivores and humans caused the extinction‚ because both were competing for prey

woven into each other. Good morning respected teachers and my dear friends ...today I Nikita am going to speak about how human activities are affecting flora and fauna? We are facing a serious crisis in biodiversity‚ the variety of animals‚ plants and their habitats. We humans are part of this biological diversity and depend on it in many ways. The rate that animal and plant species are becoming extinct‚ and the pace at which ecosystems are being destroyed‚ are increasing every day. But we the people

Extinction of Dinosaurs Ryan Humphries Biology 6th Period Two-hundred and thirty million years ago the first dinosaur-like creature roamed the earth. Within five million years it could be considered a dinosaur. They were soon at the top of the food chain. They populated every continent. Then 65 million years ago they vanished. The most powerful creatures ever to live on earth had become extinct. Dinosaurs were not the only victims of this "mass extinction." There were many other species
