According to Guinness World Records the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria fera)
is officially the world’s most venomous spider. It is capable of
injecting a powerful neurotoxin which is nearly 20 times more deadly that of the Black Widow spider if it gets into the blood stream.
That is as potent as the venom of many deadly snake species and the
effects are similar. The symptoms of envenomation include a loss of
muscle control leading to breathing problems which can result in
complete respiratory paralysis and eventually asphyxiation.
But there are two other major side effects to the wandering spider’s
bite; firstly there is intense pain and secondly, if you happen to be
male there is the four hour hard on. Yes, you did read that correctly –
the bite of the Brazilian wandering spider can cause an erection that
lasts for several hours, unfortunately it is also painful.
In
addition to the this deadly venom the behaviour of the wandering spider
make it particularly dangerous to humans. As its name suggests the
spiders are not confined to a web in a dark corner. In fact they like to
turn up in all manner of hiding places; boots, piles of clothes, log
piles, cars and bunches of bananas. Also known as ‘banana spiders’
wandering spiders have been known to hitch a ride across the globe in
boxes of bananas. In one case a man in the UK was bitten after buying
bananas in his local supermarket.
There is little doubt that these
are dangerous spiders. Their aggressive nature and close contact with
humans have resulted in a number of deaths over the years. In one tragic
case a single spider was responsible for the deaths of two children
in São Paulo. Fortunately an effective antivenom has been developed and
there have been relatively few fatalities since.
Answer:
Soil is full of life. It is often said that a handful of soil has more living organisms than there are people on planet Earth.
Explanation:
Soils are the stomach of the earth, consuming, digesting, and cycling nutrients and organisms.
The answer is D.
"An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that does not have a distinct regular shape, unlike a spiral or an elliptical galaxy. Irregular galaxies do not fall into any of the regular classes of the Hubble sequence, and they are often chaotic in appearance, with neither a nuclear bulge nor any trace of spiral arm structure."
Heterotrophs are consumers, cannot make their own foods, and have some of them have the capacity to consume autotrophs. Hence, they are not at the base of most food webs.
Heterotrophs are organisms that have no capacity to manufacture their own foods, unlike autotrophs.
They depend on other organisms for their foods. Hence, they are known as consumers, unlike autotrophs that are called producers.
Heterotrophs are of different types:
- Herbivores: those that consume autotrophs only
- Carnivores: those that consume meat only
- Omnivores: those that consume both autotrophs and meat.
Thus, heterotrophs do not occupy the base of food webs. The base of food webs are mostly occupied by autotrophs, the producers.
