Arboreal

Explanation:

Arboreal Definition:

Arbor is a Latin word meaning “tree”. Thus, arboreal means “related to or pertaining to trees”. The other similar words (synonyms) include arborous, arboraceous, arborary. Arbiform is the word used for expressing the term “resembling a tree”

Arboreal Animals

Arboreal animals : are those animals that spend most of their life on trees. They feed, travel, play, and sleep on trees. They prefer to grow their young ones on the trees, which is a difficult task because the newborns are always prone to fall on the ground from height. However, they have adapted themselves in such a manner that these animals can now easily live on such heights. Examples of such animals include chameleons, lizards, green tree pythons, tree snails, koalas, squirrels, cats, monkeys, parrots, sloths, and a variety of insects. Leopards and goats are also considered arboreal because of their excellent ability to climb the trees. Leopards can carry their kills to the top of trees to avoid other predators and scavengers.

What evolutionary explanations are there for death?
Maslowich
The possible evolutionary explanation for death is that an organism which was less adapted to its environemnt will die out sooner than will the one that was adapted more to it. Another possible way of thinking is that each organism has to die in order for his offspring that will likely be slightly more adapted to the environment to live on.

In which generation does sexual reproduction occur
WINSTONCH [101]
Fertilization of gametes in the female reproductive system and then, an offspring. 

<span>Biodiversity depends on a species' ability to reproduce itself. If a species cannot reproduce then it will die out. This depends on the climatic conditions of the region. If there is a natural disaster for example, it will affect a species' ability to reproduce. This reduces the number of diverse species on earth. Biodiversity is the recognised variety of different types of life found on the earth. It also measures the variety of number and variety of plants, animals and other organisms found in different ecosystems. </span>

Explain- the growth of the sugar crystal is different from the growth of the plant?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Sugar is interesting stuff. When you cook most foods, the heat is generated by the metal of the pan transferring heat from the flame or burner. But sugar actually creates additional heat as it breaks down, making the temperature rise faster. this means that the sugar can actually be hotter than the parts of the pan away from direct heat. If you stir it, the hot sugar comes in contact with the cooler sides of the pan and crystallization sets in.

In the same way that unmeted chocolate added to melted chocolate will temper the entire mass by crystalizing it, a single sugar crystal from wet sugar that touches the sides of the pan and evaporates, then falls back into the melted sugar will begin the process of crystallization and ruin an entire batch of caramel. Removing it from the heat and adding a little water to liquify it will make it possible to start over.
