Essays on Carnivores

Abstract

Herbivores exclusively feed on plants while carnivores feed on meat. These food preferences mean that there are differences in the oral cavities, the stomach, the small intestines and the entire digestive tract mechanisms of the two types of animals. While carnivores such as lions have short digestive tracts with stronger and more acidic digestive juices because meat is easier to digest, herbivores such as zebras have long digestive tracts that are alkaline to increase the rate of digestion and absorption of plant materials. The basic difference between carnivores and herbivores is that they exclusively feed on meat and plants ...

Walt Disney Pictures released the 3D animated Zootopia in 2016 (IMDb). Directed by Rick Moore and Byron Howard, the film takes place in a city occupied by animals that act and speak like humans. While directed toward children, the film also has adult humor; for instance, while doing a math problem, Judy Hopp states, “I mean, I am just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying.” Regardless of the humor and juvenile presentation, the timely theme of Zootopia is racial prejudice. The plot of the movie is the partnership between a con artist red fox and a ...

I visited the zoo last month, on a windy afternoon. It was an absolutely fantastic day, amongst different faunae, and a supremely knowledgeable experience. The long hours spent on studying the animals has been absolutely worth it, and the four animals that I chose to write this essay on are the Lion, the Giraffe, the Crocodile, and the Ostrich. The Lion, or the Panthera Leo, usuallya lives in groups called prides. One pride may consist of 15 to 50 lions. The pact that a pride has is to hunt for food, raise cubs, as well as fight against any ...

Question 1

Binary mission in prokaryotes Mitosis and Meiosis in eukaryotes Question 2 The development of embryos as well as the growth and development of bodies. Important in asexual reproduction. Question 3 The term cell cycle refers to an ordered set of events leading to cell growth and division into two daughter cells.

Question 4

Interphase is a phase of the cell cycle characterized by the absence of cell division. During this phase, the cell obtain nutrients, the organelles duplicates, protein synthesis takes place, and cells duplicate its genetic material (its chromatids). The genetic material is located in the nuclei of ...

Human digestive system is distinctively different from herbivores and carnivores. Herbivores normally have longer digestive system compared to human and herbivores have digestive anatomy and bacteria symbiosis that allow them to digest cellulose from plant materials. Cellulose digestion in herbivores is assisted by bacteria in the rumen (partitioned stomach) or in the cecum (hindgut fermentation) in the case of cows and horses respectively. Carnivores have shorter digestive system compared to human, as carnivore’s nutrition comes from meat that can readily be broken down by enzymes into protein and amino acids.

Human is categorized as omnivore, and human ...

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve (RTR) is situated at the junction of two very old mountain ranges, the Aravallis and the Vindhyas. Ranthambhore comprises of distinct areas with great conservation values. Prior to formation of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, these reserves were managed as hunting reserves. In 1955, a part of the forest was declared as Sawai Madhopur Wildlife Sanctuary (as a game reserve). In 1973, this area was notified as Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, being one of the first nine Project Tiger reserves in India. The Reserve comprises of Ranthambhore National Park along with Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary and Keladevi Wildlife Sanctuary. Ranthambhore National Park ( ...

Serengeti National park is located in Arusha Tanzania. The park is because of the frequently migrating wildebeests, which is one of the wonders of the world. Serengeti national park borders Kenya’s Maasai Mara game reserve. Due to the two existing next to each other, the wildebeests seasonally migrate from Kenya’s Maasai Mara to Tanzania’s Serengeti (Casey et al 17). Serengeti National Park is the most prestigious Park in East and Central Africa. There coexist ecological biodiversity and life sustaining implications of food webs and food chains. This paper will vividly elaborate the nature of science in ...

Producers are the organisms that capture the Sun’s energy and convert this energy into a usable form of energy for themselves or others. Examples of producers in grassland include shrubs, trees, lichens, mosses and grass, etc. Consumers are the organisms having no way of capturing the Sun’s energy and rely on energy gained from producers or other consumers. Examples of consumers in grassland include elks, black bear, Western rattlesnake, red-tailed hawk, etc. Decomposers are the organisms that break the organic layer in the soil in order to provide nutrients to the producers. Examples of decomposers in grassland include ...

Question 1)

The order carnivore has a total of ten families three of which are Canidae, Felidae and Procyonidae. Members of these three families have got their distinctive features which are used to distinguish them from each other. Apart from the physical appearance there are other intricate features that one has to be keen enough to notice. The family procyonidae consists of one distinct species and that is the Northern Raccoon. It may be confused to belong to the family canidae because it is the size of a dog but the. But unlike members of the family canidae, the Northern Raccoon has a long ...

Jurassic Park (1993) is a theme park hosting an array of non-animatronic entertainment that delights, excites, and horrifies its tourists. Despite their beauty and aggression, some of the animals represented are not where they belong. Under a geological lens, not a few but the majority of the reptilian cast represented are sorely misplace if not lost from their respective place in time. Though several of them are present for the sake an audience, it matters that such a blockbuster hit names its main event after the wrong era. The species of Jurassic Park whose range of existence was within one of the ...

What are the leading primary producers and top consumers in the ecosystem you researched? The top consumers in the food chain include Swanson’s hawk, coyote, grey fox, kit fox, and great horned owl. These organisms are the top consumers since they feed on tertiary consumers. They are not consumed by any organism in the food chain. The top consumers in the food web are omnivores, which feed mainly on other organism. They complete the food web by feeding on other organism that feed on primary consumers. Termites are also primary leading producers since they feed on litter ...

Background

Each year, millions of mammals cross the Seregenti. The migration of the wildebeest is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. But there is something not so wonderful in the Serengeti—an endemic disease called anthrax that strikes and kills without discrimination. It kills humans, livestock, and wildlife.

This study is about the ecopathology of Bacillus anthracis (Cohn), the pathogen that causes anthrax. Anthrax is not a big problem in most countries, but anthrax is still common in Africa because sanitation is poor, and there is no access to vaccines. The ecology of anthrax is not well ...

a) What are the leading primary producers and top consumers in the ecosystem you researched? The research was carried out in the Antarctic marine ecosystem, under this ecosystem and within the food web, the leading producer is phyplankton which produces food for all kinds of animal from small to lager ones. The top consumer in this ecosystem are grazers mainly the zoophylankton and some fish. Generally Antarctic animals make their living in the ocean because the land is to cold and dry commonly known as physical factors. b) Using the energy pyramid concept (Figure 3.16 in the textbook is a ...

Describe the process of transpiration in vascular plants

Similar to other living organisms, plants possess the capacity to regulate their internal atmosphere. Vascular plants scientifically known as tracheophytes possess conducting tissue which offers independence from a wet or dry environment. These plants have a multifaceted structure of tubes known as the vascular system to carry water and other important solutes. Phloem moves all through the plant as it conveys biological solutes in aqueous states in all direction. Reliant on the period and the plant's requirements, phloem can even alter its flow course.

Xylem originates at the root running via the stems and concludes at small pores known as stomata ...

Re-wilding

Re-wilding can be defined as measures to increase the size of existing conservation areas, for instance, national parks, wildlife refuges as well as wilderness areas. Next is an attempt to link all isolated conservation areas through wildlife corridors into an interconnected wild lands network. The final aspect in re-wilding is the reintroduction of carnivores, for instance, eastern cougar and wolf in the case of North America. Re-wilding became an issue since several people were against it while others were for it. For instance, Donlan, a conservationist, supported re-wilding while Rubestein was against re-wilding since according to him, re-wilding of North ...

Environmental science

Problem description

Energy conservation entails the efforts that are being undertaken to reduce energy consumption. Energy conservation can be attained by enhanced, efficient energy use in relation to the minimized energy consumption and or minimum application from the conventional energy sources. The problem associated with this is the global energy crisis that has resulted in strong demand for the rare commodity. There has been great, rise in the global demand for energy in the past few years due to industrial growth and population increase. Supply of energy, thus, is in deficit than the expected amount. Market breakdown is likely ...
