The elbow joint of the cow and the elbow joint of the human are a pair of homologous organs. Homologous organs can be defined as the traits that are inherited by two different organisms from a common ancestor. The structure of these organs are similar in both organisms but their function is different.

The connecting bones of the elbow joint in the humans and the cows are the same, but the radius and ulna of the cow are fused together. In cows, the elbow joint helps them to walk while in humans, the elbow joint helps to lift and carry.

Our elbow bends all the time, we bend it when we pick up things, when we eat, when we do mostly everything. Cows on the other hand dont pick up food with there feet, they use there mouths, and they probably only bend when they are walking.

The atmosphere is 80% nitrogen: why do you think plants and animals can't use nitrogen as it is found in the atmosphere?
Setler [38]

Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive

Explanation:

The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.

However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.

Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.

This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen

Is electro giant better than royal giant?​
alex41 [277]

Answer:

No. Although it can kill small things like skeleton around it, the royal giant does more damage. At least that is my opinion. Another reason is that the royal giant has a more grand hearing than the electro giant.
