Locomotion in an animal with an endoskeleton (fish) * Water has a higher relative density (800 times higher than air) and is a viscous medium to move through. * The body of a fish is of a streamlined shape to move quickly in water. * The streamlined shape of a fish: * a) is long ellipse tapering to a point (shaped like a torpedo) in the direction of the flow of water. * b) reduces the drag (a drag is water resistance caused by friction between moving water and the

organization vary among primates? How does social organization relate to adaptation to particular environments? Use at least 3 primates with examples and specific detail. Compare and contrast the social organization of orangutans‚ gorillas‚ and common chimpanzees. Social organization among primates varies in many ways. To name a few‚ primates have variations in body size‚ group composition‚ dominance hierarchies‚ diet and mating systems (158). In spite of the differences among primates‚ their social organization

Humans and primates are similar in some ways‚ but they are different in others. As scientist remark‚ they belong to the same family called Hominidae. They also conclude that they have many similar characteristics because they went through a process that they called evolution. This is the process in which some primates evoluted into what is know a human being and preserved several similar characteristics. It is now known that the chimpanzee is the closest primate to humans since they have a similar

Take Home Writing Assignment 3: Bipedal Locomotion 1. Briefly describe the morphological features that distinguish the skeleton of bipedal hominids from that of chimpanzees and other apes. Make sure to explain how the features are different in bipedal hominids compared to the apes. a. Cranium Ape and human craniums are very different from one another. Ape craniums are designed for chewing giving them more muscles in the cranium to bite don on hard foods. These muscles apes obtain in their cranium

BANGKOK: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF A HYPERURBANIZED PRIMATE CITY Gerald W. Fry "The rapid expansion of a deteriorated environment and high social costs are the most obvious and immediate results of this overconcentration process. Eventually‚ the public investment on the expansion of urban infrastructure will reach a point of diminishing returns. Urban problems can bring national development to the edge of failure. This would be an appalling situation indeed!" Vimolsiddhi Horayangkura1 "Hyperurbanization

However‚ despite the countless similarities between nonhuman primates and human beings‚ numerous species of “monkeys” are used in animal testing.

The Extraordinary Kinship and Differences Between Humans and Nonhuman Primates If you were to look at an ape right now‚ you would find an ongoing list of both similarities and differences they have with humans. Besides the obvious similarities and differences‚ apes and our nonhuman primates are just like us in so many extraordinary ways. However‚ there are various skills and abilities we possess that they don’t‚ and vice versa. Moreover‚ for the past fifty years anthropologists‚ scholars and researchers

Topic 12 ATOMIC STRUCTURE: Electronic configuration 12. 1. Ionization energy If an electron obtains enough energy it jumps beyond the highest energy level and becomes a free electron: the atom itself becomes a positive ion. This electron transition is represented as follows: n = 1 to n = (. Notation n = ( refers to the “world” outside the atom – beyond the control of the nucleus; any electron outside an atom has no potential energy (energy = 0). With hydrogen the ionization energy can be

The zoo trip was a great experience and I learned a lot about the primate’s behaviors and how they interact with each other. Seeing the primates in person face to face was incredible because I could see how they interact with themselves‚ communicate with others by grooming. The primate group that I liked the best were the common squirrel monkeys‚ they were very small and playful. They kept playing with others in their group and climbing through the branches‚ collecting food. The common squirrel monkeys
