Most ofthe world's oldest living thingscan be found deep in frigid ocean waters. Such an environment is conducive to longevity because the cold keeps metabolic rates low. A perfect example of this is the Greenland shark, which lives in the Arctic Ocean, where temperatures can drop to just ...
Jonathan the giant tortoise is estimated to have been born in 1832, which makes him older than some ofthe greatest inventions of the industrial revolution, such as light bulbs and Morse code. It is claimed
Recommendations: A correct polyp analysis is a valuable element for identifying specific inherited syndromes. Polyps represent a precious tool for planning screening and follow-up in a given individual. In addition, these lesions focus the interest of clinicians toward syndrome which were considered as...
The first step of reproduction is sexual where the gametes fuse to form a polyp. The polyps reproduce asexually by budding. Budding in Corals Corals are a vast colony of living organisms. They are marine invertebrates and reproduces asexually by budding. Due to budding, formation of huge ...
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductive material such as wire. As there are different ways for the electrons to move, there are different types of electricity. DC, or direct current, is the motion of electrons in a single direction, fro
