Common Understanding Pt.- I
To home a pet is serious business, the animal whether a dog or any other animal becomes a family member and the right animal care knowledge for kids is very essential. You can always sponge the animal down with warm water if he gets too dirty.
Animal Care Knowledge For Kids
In human beings the number of genes is between 30,000 to 40,000. For humans, the number is 46 (23 pairs) and this complete set of genetic information is called the genome.
Fingernails grow two to three times faster than toenails. Also, constant exposure to sun and air may aid their growth. Porcupines are divided into two groups, old world porcupines and new world porcupines, Old world porcupines tend be larger than the new world porcupines, live on the ground and the quills on their body are distributed in clusters. New world porcupines are smaller and tend to live in trees. The sea lion has small, tiny external ear flaps. The front flippers of sea lions are long, have no hair and nails.
Nutraceuticals are foods, or parts of foods, which provide medical or health benefits, including prevention and treatment of disease i.e. nutrients with medical implications. are functional foods or food omnocnronic disease, aoove ana oeyond their basic nutritional functions. A functional food is similar to conventional food, while a nutraceutical is isolated from a food and sold in dosage form, in both cases the active components occur naturally in food.
Consequently, if the object does not reflect any colour, it appears black. The tiny droplets of water in rain clouds scatter the white light of the sun. As normal clouds have no water, the light is not scattered and thus look white.
The polar bear is the world’s largest bear. During summer, they eat rodents and berries available on the plants there.
What is the procedure to differentiate between blood groups?
The blood group is found out by adding two chemicals Anti Sera A and Anti Sera B to the sample. If it gets agglutinated by both, the sample is AB, and if by neither, the sample is 0. Only prolonged skin-to-skin contact will cause the disease.
Leptospirosis, popularly known as Well’s disease, is caused by a spirochaete (a special type of bacteria) which usually invades the human body through cuts and abrasions, especially following prolonged immersion in water. Termites live on cellulose. Why is milk white?
Milk is an emulsion of fat in water. Add water. Soon oil will form a layer on the water. As a result, ice is formed on the surface and since it is lighter than the water below, it floats on the surface. The fish and other animals freely move about in the water “below.
YOUR mouth will not water when I speak of a sweet called Jangiri made in South India. In anticipation of eating that sweet, your mouth waters.
If there is an abrasion or a wound, the bacillus can enter the body at such points. The disease can be fatal, if timely action is not taken.
THE dark colour absorbs heat. A dark colour of the skin means abundance of melanophore cells that contain a pigment called melanin. Because a dark skin absorbs heat, it prevents the heat from reaching the inner sensitive parts. Have you noticed how the skin becomes dark (it is called tanning), when it is exposed to sunlight for long periods? Overexposure for long periods can result in skin cancer.
The soda that we use in cooking is a chemical compound called Sodium Bicarbonate. It dontains about 18 % water, the chemical name for which is Hydrogen Oxide. It also contains chemical compounds in minute quantities, which lend if antiseptic propierties.
Kidneys are organs, which help us to eliminate unwanted and waste products from body in the form of urine. Kidney stones are actually lumps of chemical compounds like uric acid, calcium oxalates, `phosphates, etc.
Non-vegetarians are those who kill living beings and eat them. But it is said that plants, too, have life. In that case, aren’t people who eat plants and grains also non-vegetarian?
IT is true that plants have life. Long ago, man killed man and ate him. Then he gave it up and ate only other living animals. Many people felt unhappy with this also and restricted their meals to only birds, fish, plants and food grains. Some rejected even birds and fish and lived only on plants and food grains.
WAIER is a chemical compound called hydrogen oxide. As you boil it, it turns into steam and evaporates, Milk is not a single chemical compound, but consist of many chemical compounds – fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. Milk contains proteins from which nourishment is derived by the young ones of mammals. It contains sugars in the form of lactose. Heat has a different effect ‘on milk. When heated, milk is precipitated.
The science of naming living organisms is called taxonomy. High levels of testosterone (the male hormone) in the blood and high blood pressure also can lead to balding. Most people grow hair back lost during typhoid.
Pools of water seem to appear, even though the road is dry. Can’t ageing be stopped?
In India, people living in the Hunza region of Kashmir are believed to live long. Perhaps you know that continuous wear-and-tear goes on in the human body when the skin tissue or the bone tissue is worn or damaged, new tissue takes its place. But Leonard Hayflick, a researcher form Philadelphia, first proved that cells couldn’t multiply all the time. Every situation perceived as a threat ages people. Deepak Chopra has discussedthe phenomenon of ageing in depth in his book Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. The sound waves sent by these screeches are called ultrasonic waves. It is alkaline and is composed of water, mucus, mineral salts, protein and a digestive enzyme called Ptyalin. Ptyalin also helps digest the starch content in food.
How can aquatic animals survive when the lakes and seas freeze?
As a result, ice is formed on the surface and since it is lighter than I the water below, it floats on the surface. The fish and other animals freely move about in the water below. If you eat in a hurry, you would be gulping down some air also.
Are only dogs colour blind? Why?
That means cats, rats, dogs, rabbits, foxes, tigers, lions, cows, buffaloes, etc. are colour blind.
If you eat half a dozen bananas every day, you are likely to put on weight.
The building bricks of the human body, called cells are made up mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. When you lose weight, these get converted into carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is thrown out along with the exhaled air Water is thrown out via perspiration and urine.
Water drops appear on outside of the tumbler?
It contains mainly nitrogen and oxygen and also water vapour, in weather reports, water content is referred to as humidity. When you pour chilled water into a steel tumbler, moisture in the air condenses and forms water droplets. The water droplets formed, close to the surface of the tumbler can be seen easily.
IT is true that leaves are like mini factories that manufacture food for the plants from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water from its roots, using chlorophyll. The stored food is used by the plants in winter.
That is alive and from it grows the hair. The more the pigment, the darker the skin. In the form of amoeba (primitive but simplest animal life form) or algae (primitive, but simplest vegetarian life form). They can produce food from simple elements like carbon and oxygen, in carbon dioxide, and hydrogen in water.
It prevents clotting of blood within the vascular system.
THE building blocks of the human body are called cells. The building material for these cells is protein. Milk, lentils (daals), grams (chana), soyabean, fish, chicken and meat contain proteins. When digested in the body, proteins get converted into simpler compounds called amino acids like lycine, leucine, isoleucine and tryptophan. Parts of the body where growth or repairing of the wear and tear is taking place.
Secondly HIV dies in the mosquito’s body because the mosquito after sucking the blood digests the blood and doesn’t immediately need to feed on another. Snow is nothing but the frozen atmospheric vapour, which falls in winters on earth as light, flakes whereas ice is simply frozen water.
Skin, intestine, bone marrow and other tissues are more prone to cancer because of a large presence of dividing cells. The blockage of blood supply to the heart muscle causes death of heart tissues. The affected heart muscle is not replaced in most cases, instead scan tissue builds up.
Syzygy is a condition when three celestial bodies form a straight line. Infertile females are also called as workers. It is the science of air in motion and the motion of objects in air. A layer of cells, called the separation layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem. If i eat a plantain and the remnants stick to the tongue then the pain is unbearable. At new moon (amavasya), the moon is between the earth and the sun. When the moon reaches the opposite side of the earth from the sun, its side facing the earth is fully seen. As regards Australia, there was no free movement of humans or animals from the countries of the old world to this continent. Isn’t carbon dioxide lighter than air?
The air that we breathe in as well as the air that we breathe out consists mainly of nitrogen (about 80%). The air that we.breathe in has less than 20% of oxygen. There will be a little more moisture (water) also, in the air that we breathe out. Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen; Carbon dioxide is heavier than even oxygen. A water molecule consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. As a result, in spite of hundreds and thousands being eaten by other fish, thousands still survive.
Why do old people have wrinkles on their skin? As a result, old people sweat less than young people. 4. The colour pigment is spread evenly. 5. The skin of the scalp begins to thin with age.
THE mouth smells because the bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, act upon the food particles stuck in the crevices between the teeth and cause fermentation, particularly if the food eaten is full of starch and sugar. Protein deprivation over a period of time could affect memory. When digested, protein breaks down into amino acids. Milk is a good source of proteins, including essential amino acids and also vitamins of the B group.
Sea water is a complex solution of mineral salts and of decaying/ decayed biological matter that results from the abundance of life in the seas.
The influenza A (H5N1) virus — also called the H5N1 virus — is a subtype that occurs largely in birds. When we talk about human flu viruses, we refer to those subtypes that occur widely in humans. There are only three known subtypes of human flu viruses (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2); it is likely that some genetic parts of current human influenza A viruses came from birds originally.
Milk, cheese, curd, paneer are animal products, but why are they considered vegetarian?
A vegetarian is one who does not consume any animal product or by-product from a slaughtered animal. It is a strict vegetarian or ‘vegan’ that does not consume any animal product, either from a living or slaughtered animal.
Dr Provine likens yawning to stretching, an involuntary activity that increases blood pressure, heart rate and also serves to flex joints and muscles. Also, since even animals and birds yawn, scientists believe yawning could be a form of communication. Immediate medical attention is called for.
Do animals, like humans, have different blood groups?
In man, blood group is applied to a single factor, the agglutinogen and is found on the surface of red blood corpuscles. A person with ‘A’ antigen is designated one with A-group, with ‘B’ antigen as B-group, with both A and B antigens as AB-blood group and a person without any antigens is designated as 0-blood group. In animals, blood group is applied to combinations of blood factors. It is preferable to call them ‘blood group systems’ rather then blood groups. Each system has many factors which are together called blood group factors. Attached to each hair inside the skin is a tiny muscle. The skin around each hair also gets pulled up. The result is little bumps.
What is the bombay blood group?
This term is normally used in the life sciences while describing the exterior of an animal or plant.
Eating of the dinosaur eggs by the mammals that had appeared around this time on the earth is believed to be another reason for the extinction of dinosaurs.
This class of invertebrates includes animals like spiders. The fear of these animals is called arachnopodia.
This monitor lizard is called the Komodo dragon.
The endocrine glands secrete chemicals known as hormones.
No, almost all flying fishes skim over the water.
