No, predators do not only kill the old and sick prey. They will go after any of the prey, including the strong ones and the children. The reason they often go after the old and sick prey is because they're easier to pick off, whether they are on their own or in a pack. Predators will go after any one of the members of their prey, but prefer the old and/or sick as it requires less energy.

Predators will not only kill the old and sick prey. Many predators, like lions, will prey on younger herd animals because they tend to be slower.

DaniilM [7]
<span>Kepler’s harmonic law is the third law of the Planetary Motion. He discovered this after ten years that there is a relation between the time of a planet’s orbit and its distance from the sun. The harmonic law states that <u>the squares of the orbital periods of the planets around the Sun are proportional to the cubes of the planet’s orbital period</u>. <u> </u> </span>

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by ________ and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into ________.
Ede4ka [16]
The correct terms to fill in the blanks are lateral ventricles and venous sinus blood. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by lateral ventricles and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into the venous sinus blood. The CSF is a fluid that is clear and colorless found in the spinal cord and in the brain, generally the central nervous system. The CSF functions as a buffer or a shock absorber for the brain. It provides basic mechanical protection for the brain. Also, it helps in the circulation of nutrients and the chemicals that are filtered and aids in the elimination of waste products.

Luda [366]

In recent molecular genetic studies, genes associated with the neurotransmitter Dopamine have been linked to ADHD.

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. People with ADHD have a hard time focusing on tasks. Scientists have found that the low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with the symptoms of ADHD. It is because the neurons in the brain have a high amount of protein called the dopamine transporters. These proteins block the dopamine from passing between the neurons. This decreases the effect of dopamine.
