... majority of marine life as coral all have nematocyst containing stinging cells. Crown of Thorns starfish are not affected by this defence mechanism. This peculiar diet has caused them to evolve into extraoral feeders. An extraoral feeder is capable of ...

... reproductive system. The Effect Of CF On Gas Exchange System: The main organs involved in gas exchange system are nose, trachea, bronchi, lungs and alveoli. Air from the atmosphere enters the body through nose and goes through trachea and then finally ...

... of Darwin we have discovered the role genes play in passing on different traits to future generations. His second principle is that the reproductive potential of a population would increase exponentially if all individuals reproduced successfully, far exceeding the capacity ...

... loss of forests and other habitats and their biodiversity. The tree removed can be used as timber or fuel or to manufacture paper. The removal of trees reduces the amount of photosynthesis which leaves more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. ...

... any deforestation, there are many factors which make it a functional and healthy forest. Transpiration is able to take place, which releases the water content into the atmosphere. The trees intercept the precipitation, which in rainforests would be very harsh ...

... deforestation. With the rainforests being destroyed, many possible cures for life-threatening disease disappear. Currently, 121 prescription drugs worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less than 1% of these tropical trees and ...

... through selective pressure. For this theory to work it is based on five major assumptions: * Variation: Individuals that differ form other members of their species in their physical characteristics and in their behaviour. * Heritability: Some of the variation that occurs in ...
