NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago

Answer:

1.Snakes use their venom cautiously, injecting amounts sufficient to disable prey or to defend against predators. Snake venom works by breaking down cells and tissues, which can lead to paralysis, internal bleeding, and death for the snake bite victim.

2.Snake venom and other toxins' strength is measured using the LD50 (lethal dose 50%) test. ... The amount of test substance that kills half the animals gives the LD50 figure. LD50 figures are used, in theory, to indicate the standard toxicity value for each chemical.

How are birds and reptiles more similar based on their adult features? cer
vladimir2022 [97]

For centuries, many scientists hypothesized that birds were reptiles due to similarities in their anatomy, but there was no hard fossil evidence to support it. But in 1860, archaeologists discovered a fossil of a highly detailed Archaropteryx lithographica (a bird-like dinosaur), which filled the void of the “transitional species” that scientists needed to link birds and reptiles. Since then, many fossils of feathered dinosaurs have been found.
