Why are unicellular organisms considered immortal? Biological Immortality: Biological immortality is a state in which mortality due to chronological aging (and the deterioration that goes with that aging) is occurring at a stable or decreasing rate. This means an organism's rate of mortality is not...
Cockroaches, Sharks, horseshoe crabs and jellyfish are but a few of the species that have survived essentially in their current form for up to 0.5 Billion years. That is wrong, I believe. They aren't the same biological species, and while it is hard to see that in the fossil ...
Why would a jellyfish die quickly in tap water? Why are tsunamis more common in the Pacific Ocean than the Atlantic Ocean basin? Why are sea-levels increasing globally? What are some likely consequences (other than losing land) as a re...
Mills CE (2001) Jellyfish blooms: are populations increasing globally in response to changing ocean conditions? Hydrobiologia 451:55–68 Miranda LS, Morandini AC, Marques AC (2012) Do Staurozoa bloom? A review of stauromedusan population biology. Hydrobiologia 690:57–67 Miyake H, Terazaki...
distant from humans nonetheless engage in the common human activity of sleeping. For example, recently researchers have reported sleep in two additional species ofCnidaria—the upside down jellyfish,Cassiopea(Nath et al.2017) andHydra vulgaris(Kanaya et al.2020). What is the point of this ...
Exploding populations of what giant jellyfish in the Sea of Japan are a matter of concern to marine biologists? Why is it a concern? Why is the capsid protein important? Why does a living thing need to be responsive? Explain how energy or nutrients travel through an ecosystem at a...
Why would a jellyfish die quickly in tap water? Why are sea-levels increasing globally? What are some likely consequences (other than losing land) as a result of this? What specific process is a key factor for promoting a rich ocean ecosy...
Phytoplankton are the drifting populations of plant-like organisms seen on the surfaces of the oceans and large bodies of water. They are made up of species of cyanobacteria, algae, diatoms and coccolithophores. Phytoplankton are the major primary producers of these waters, and make up ...
How are organisms reacting to these changes? Why do living tissues turn black after being exposed to critically low temperatures? Why would a jellyfish die quickly in tap water? When ice from the sea begins to melt sea, how does it cause harm environmentally? Define entropy and e...
Exploding populations of what giant jellyfish in the Sea of Japan are a matter of concern to marine biologists? Why is it a concern? In what ways do oceans help moderate climate change? Describe the harmful positive feedback mechanisms involved. When ice from the sea begins to melt sea,...
