The physiological make-up of a multi-celled alien would be most suited to its environment. Organ systems would be adapted to environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture and gravity. The alien would h
Unlike us, plants don't have a brain or nervous system to coordinate their physiological functions and tell them that they are hungry so they should go buy a burger from the nearest fast food place. Plants also lack complex muscles and tendons to grab food, chew it, swallow it and ...
HRV is a highly volatile metric that constantly changes based on external influences. That’s why it only makes sense to measure it for analytical purposes in a controlled environment with minimal distractions and a heart rate that is close to your resting heart rate. That’s why WHOOP measures...
After observing backpackers struggle for years with compass orientation, I am absolutely astonished that dogs can not only calculate declination, but can actually detect small changes in it. Let’s see, for 17 degrees westing, do I subtract or add that to the heading? It’s gotta be add, r...
Movies create a safe space where we can engage in emotional exploration without judgment. Increased Empathy Movies have a unique ability to transport us into the lives of others. When we watch characters face struggles, triumphs, and everything in between, we step into their shoes. This ...
As mammalian herbivores feed, they often encounter noxious insects on plants. It is unknown how they handle such insects. We experimentally examined the behavioural responses of goats to the noxious spring-webworm (Ocnogyna loewii), and manipulated their
In semiarid and arid regions, soil moisture is the second most important abiotic variable for predicting ecosystem respiration, as it strongly influences the physiological activity of vegetation and soil microbes [Qi and Xu, 2001]. Two approaches are often used to model the influence of soil ...

Since photosynthesis is a chemical reaction, its levels are monitored by the rate of occurrence. Changes in the levels of its inputs and outputs are used to calculate the photosynthetic rate. Thus, there are various methods to measure photosynthesis: ...
Hyperventilation is deep breathing (VT is greater than dead space volume) faster than necessary. What happens to your respiration immediately thereafter? Explain the physiological mechanisms involved. Which of the following actions does not occur during active exhalation? a. Abdominal muscles contract. ...
