An animal is a multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia‚ which differs from plants as well as humans in certain characteristics. Movement‚ metabolism‚ response to stimuli‚ restricted growth and fixed bodily structure are all different between plants‚ animals and humans. There are many definitions of a person

Animal Extinction - the greatest threat to mankind In the final stages of dehydration the body shrinks‚ robbing youth from the young as the skin puckers‚ eyes recede into orbits‚ and the tongue swells and cracks. Brain cells shrivel and muscles seize. The kidneys shut down. Blood volume drops‚ triggering hypovolemic shock‚ with its attendant respiratory and cardiac failures. These combined assaults disrupt the chemical and electrical pathways of the body until all systems cascade toward death.

first began to investigate his interest in natural science with his study of finches on the Galapagos Islands. It is said that this study is the one that sparked his interest in developing his evolutionary theory. He is the author of On the Origin of Species‚ published in 1859‚ which he later built upon to write the Descent of Man which he published in 1871. He is well known for the development of the theory of evolution in which he puts forth the idea that humans evolve from apes through natural and

University of Jordan‚ P.O. Box 13240‚ Amman 11942‚ Jordan (Received 24 October 1994; received for publication 4 July 1995): This work discusses the design‚ construction and operation of a low cost farm scale digester in which animal wastes were used. The biogas produced contains about 65% CH‚ by volume. Production‚ quantities and qualities were measured for a period of more than six months‚ both in summer and in winter. Biogas was used in two different

jokes told by a preschooler‚ but these animals do exist and there are many other combinations of animals. A hybrid animal is the offspring of two different species or populations (Wikipedia). There are already hybrid animals in existence that occur in nature and some that are being created by science. In this paper‚ some examples‚ characteristics‚ problems‚ and ethical considerations of hybrid animals will be discussed. There are many types of hybrid animals in existence today. The liger has recently

sludge is further treated in ’sludge digesters’: large heated tanks in which its chemical decomposition is catalysed by microorganisms. The sludge is largely converted to ’biogas’‚ a mixture of CH4 and CO2‚ which is used to generate electricity for the plant. The liquid is treated by bacteria which break down the organic matter remaining in solution. It is then sent to oxidation ponds where heterotrophic bacteria continue the breakdown of the organics and solar UV light destroys the harmful bacteria. The

Invasive Aquatic Animal Effect on their New Ecosystem What are Invasive Animals? An invasive species is a plant‚ fungus‚ or animal species that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species)‚ and which has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment‚ human economy or human health(https://en.wikipedia.org/). When an invasive species moves into a new environment ‚ it changes the food pattern‚ growth production‚ and the environment conditions
