Some bacteria are not able to function properly and replicate at the fever-high temperatures hence this reduces their infection rates in the body. More research has also shown that the temporal increase in body temperature, during the fever, increases the activity of the cytotoxic T-cells that are significant in fighting infection.
D - spine alignment and foot size.
Late australopiths had an S-shaped spine that allowed for balance when standing. Shorter and less flexible toes made pushing off the ground much easier.
One of my passions is keeping up with creationist (and I include Intelligent Design here) attempts to change what science is. They wish to supplant the reason and evidence that is the basis for good science with faith instead – specifically their faith.
Sometimes, actually often, it can become discouraging looking at how many battles must be fought to ensure our schools continue to teach good science; listening to all the politicians expressing their ignorance of science by expressing doubts about evolution; and seeing all the letters and forum responses from those who let their religion totally blind their ability to reason and fairly judge evidence.
For example, consider these quotes from various prominent politicians:
“There are clear indications from our people who have amazing intellectual capability that this didn’t happen by accident and a creator put this in place,”
“Now, what was his time frame and how did he create the earth that we know? I’m not going to tell you that I’ve got the answers to that,” Perry said. “I believe that we were created by this all-powerful supreme being and how we got to today versus what we look like thousands of years ago, I think there’s enough holes in the theory of evolution to, you know, say there are some holes in that theory.” Governor and Presidential candidate Rick Perry
Answer: Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.
Great question! Let me first talk about how sedimentary rocks are formed. Sedimentary rocks are formed when when existing rocks are broken down in sediment. Now, let me explain what they are. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been weathered into rock fragments or pieces.
