How do animals in the deep sea get oxygen for cellular respiration? Deep-sea animals obtain oxygen from the water through gills or other specialized respiratory organs. Oxygen is dissolved in seawater, and these animals have adapted to efficiently extract it, even in the low-oxygen conditions of...
How do decomposers obtain food energy? How do diffusion and osmosis help amoebas survive? How do autotrophs get energy nutrients? What is an amoeba energy source? How do monerans get their food energy? How do animals obtain energy?
Making fertilizer from the nutrients that we and other animals excrete has a long and colorful history; for generations it helped Indigenous cultures around the world create exceptionally fertile soil. These systems fell out of favor in Western culture, but researchers an...
Nutritional regulation is a powerful mechanism used by generalist feeders to obtain the balance of nutrients they require from nutritionally diverse, perhaps unbalanced, foods. We examined nutritional regulation in a species with a narrow individual diet breadth: the forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma di...
As carnivores, cats requirespecific nutrients:protein, fat, fibre, fatty acids (such as arachidonic acid), vitamins (A, B2, B3, B12, E etc), amino acids (taurine, arginine etc) and many others. Regulators (for example, AAFCO in North America) do not say which ingredients to put in –...

With nutrients in short supply, phytoplankton, the microscopic plants that form the basis of the marine food chain, struggle to thrive. However, some phytoplankton do live within the hostile environment of these gyres, and exactly how they obtain their nutrients has long been a mystery. ...
Briefly, the Nutri-Score system considers a food’s levels (per 100 g) of more beneficial nutrients (i.e., protein, fiber, and percentages of fruits, nuts, vegetables, olive oil, canola oil, and walnut oil) and less beneficial nutrients (i.e., energy, total sugar, sodium, and satur...
On the first floor, the reclaimed idle land was used as a vegetable garden and old furniture was removed and reorganized to create a fence; the test space on the second floor was used to obtain space for growing flowers and plants by arranging the balcony; the functional area for growing ...
Plants contain even more water than animals do -- most of them are anywhere from 90 to 95 percent water [source: BBC]. Just as it does in animals, water regulates the temperature of the plant and transports nutrients through it. But instead of taking in water by drinking and eating, pla...
