There is obviously not a definite number because there are so many kinds of insects that we are not familiar with yet. However, approximate numbers mention as low as 2 million up to as high as 30 million. Scientists cannot still determine the correct number, but it is somewhere between 2 and 30 million species.

There are at least 900,000 species, but many more probably have yet to be discovered. Insects all have bodies consisting of a head, a thorax of three segments, usually three pairs of legs and often one or two pairs of wings. Their heads have compound eyes and long antennae that are sensitive to touch and smell.

<h2>Cannon -Bard theory</h2>

Explanation:

  • Alone in the woods, Pedro hears a noise. He thinks he sees a bear coming toward him. His heart starts pounding and then, a moment later, he realizes how frightened he is. This sequence of events is BEST explained by the <u>Cannon-Bard t</u>heory of emotion.

According to Cannon-Bard theory, all the emotional expressions occur due to the stimulation of hypothalamic structures present in brain. This theory also states that feeling and physiological effects of an emotional stimuli occurs simultaneously.

Here, James thinks that a bear is coming, this is a stimulus. His heart starts pounding that is the physiological effect of the stimulus and the next moment he feels frightened which is a feeling.

So we conclude that in this case, the physiological effect and feeling of emotion occurred simultaneously. So these sequence of events is best explained  by Cannon-Bard's theory.

A rock can be highly permeable but also non-porous. <br> True <br> False
vekshin1
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The above statement is <u>false</u>

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Rocks have different porosity and permeability characteristics, which means that water does not move around the same way in all rocks below ground.
  • Permeability greater than 250 mD are considered very good, while permeability less than 1 mD are considered poor.
  • Low porosity normally results in low permeability, but high porosity does not necessarily imply high permeability. It is possible to have a highly porous rock with little or no interconnections between pores.
