Explain why cold-blooded organisms like reptiles have a higher rate of secondary productivity than warm-blooded mammals.
PIT_PIT [208]
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.

EleoNora [17]
Ileostomy is a procedure where the end of the small intestine, called the ileum, is brought out of an opening in the belly through surgery. The opening is called a stoma, and its shiny, bright red in color. It is often done after the large intestine has been removed due to cancer or serious physical injuries. Having a stoma, and the need of emptying it several times a day, is disfiguring so the patient often suffer from poor self image. The patient in the case, may be concerned of being unable to continue romantic relationships due to having a stoma. As a nurse, make sure to first make patient understand that ileostomy surgery does not involve the reproductive organs or the gonads. Then, acknowledge that while having a stoma is disfiguring, many organizations are helping increase awareness and acceptance of those who have the condition. Refer the patient to such local stoma advocacy organizations.

Due to recent drought, a farmer has lost quite a bit of soil on his fields because?
jeyben [28]
Well... i think that when drying up, the soil breaks down into a powder, but i think you know that already. but maybe when the water all evaporates, you know it doesn't leave all of the dirt behind. like when saltwater is evaporated it doesn't leave behind the salt. so my best guess is that bits of soil was brought up wit the water
