The answer to the above question is in a hot spring.

<h3>What is a habitat?</h3>

The term "habitat" in ecology refers to a region's collection of biotic, physical, and resource elements that are present to support a specific species' ability to survive and reproduce. It is possible to think of a species' habitat as the outward representation of its biological niche. As a result, "habitat" refers to a particular species, which is fundamentally distinct from ideas like "environment" or "vegetation assemblages," for which the term "habitat-type" is more applicable.

For a project I needed to ask 25 people : do you think eating meat is bad for the environment?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Yes (It's more inefficient)

Explanation:

in ecology there are things called primary producers (plants) that are eaten by primary consumers (cows and chickens) and then there are humans, secondary consumers, that eat cows and chickens for energy.

The further we move from eating primary producers the more inefficient we become in consuming energy. Meaning, it requires a lot more natural energy consumption to support a human that lives on meat only as compared to a human that eats plants only. this inefficiency only magnifies when communities practice unsustainable food methods.

There are sustainable ways to eat meat, but (at least in the US) our current conventions of meat production are unsustainable and environmentally destructive.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Al Capone, Fred "Killer" Burke, and Bugsy Moran.

Explanation:

Augustus "Smiling Gus" Winkler was a big-time gangster who had his fingerprints surgically altered so as not to be identifiable through fingerprint technology. He was part of Eagan's Rats gang and would participate in some of the most notorious crimes such as the St. Valentines Massacre in 1929.

When he moved up north, he met up with some of the world's famous gangsters like Al Capone, Roger Touhy, Fred Burke, and Bugsy Moran. But in 1933, to secure himself, he turned evidence against his friends and accomplices. But he was not to be safe for long, for he was gunned down by unknown assailants rumored to be ordered by Frank Nitti on October 9, 1933.

From an evolutionary perspective, what adaptive value do mirror neurons have?
Akimi4 [234]

Mirror neurons are said to be the factors behind social imitation. Neurons are the main cell of the nervous system which is responsible for communication of organs and control of many bodily functions. In an evolutionary standpoint, mirror neurons are an advantage because humans are able to replicate and imitate skills, behaviors and practices which they find beneficial and advantageous in the wild. Among their social peers, mirror neurons help these individuals practice social inclusion through culture, values and practices for increased group cohesion and cooperation.
