Why doesn't a spider get stuck in its own web?

One hypothesis, that spiders simply skip over the sticky threads, has been more or less discredited. In fact, orb-weavers sweep their hind legs across the goo hundreds or thousands of times as they make their webs. They also brush their bodies against the drops while they're subduing prey. Hope I helped

spiders don't come into contact with their webs all at once. Instead, they move nimbly along the strands of their webs with only the hairs on the tips of their legs making contact with the sticky threads.

What would happen to co2 if there was less plants

MArishka [77]

Answer:

More carbon dioxide (CO2) would be in our atmosphere.

Explanation:

Plants undergoing photosynthesis take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and give out oxygen (O2). They essentially use the CO2 to make sugars that keep them alive. Excess plant CO2 is then given off back into the environment, just like how we exhale CO2 after taking a breath.

So, no plants to take in the CO2 equals more CO2 in the environment.

Think of it kinda like this: I like Pop Tarts. If there is less or none of me in the world, there are more Pop Tarts just... out there... waiting to be eaten.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

This is an example of "Disruptive selection".

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when selective pressure favor homozygous. In equilibrium, the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.

The disruptive selection causes an increase in the two types of extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.

Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the extremes forms. Individuals in the middle are not successful at survival or reproduction.

Color is very important when it comes to camouflage. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can hide from predators more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.
