to a scientist and asked him for his secret formula but he said I had to do the ravioli dance first before I got to see it and I made a fool of myself and died that morning
Answer:
Similarities: both are chemical messengers, both can have (but don't necessarily have) similar structures (made from amino acids), both can be produced by the central nervous system (hypothalamus produces some hormones), certain molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters (example: norepinephrine).
Differences: neurotransmitters are released by neurons across a synaptic gap, have very short distances to travel, and act very quickly on the neighboring cell. Hormones are released by glands and often have to travel longer distances, which means that they are slower-acting. Also, hormones are typically used for regulation (negative feedback) while neurotransmitters are used for stimulation of a neighboring cell.
Explanation:
They're considered to be human like hands. They have a thumb like humans which allows them to grip onto trees and maneuver better. It also helps them with their grip onto branches and trees because they rarely come down from up there, so they need to be able to grip tightly even a sleep. I would say it's natural selection due to evolution.
