Biology

hodyreva [135]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There is a very common misperception among people, even among many snake hobbyists, that snakes must have live prey.

Explanation:

This is not usually true. In the wild, snakes, like most other carnivores, will usually take any opportunity to get a free and easy meal, and will not pass up a freshly killed prey animal if they happen upon it. In fact, snakes have been known to eat a fair amount of carrion which has been dead for some time, and the stomach contents of wild snakes often contain prey that must have been in an advanced state of decomposition when it was eaten. Thus, although your snake may prefer to eat live prey, which it kills itself through constriction, this is not at all necessary for the health of the snake. In fact, it is best not to feed your captive snakes live prey at all.

Which organism was used to re-evaluate its position in
marta [7]

Answer:

Fungi

Explanation:

Fungi is a eukaryotic organism that is re-evaluating its position in  the tree of life.

Fungi are closely related to the animal kingdom in comparison to the plant kingdom. Because of the presence of the chitin in their cell walls, fungi is different from plant, bacteria, and protists. But fungi have cell wall while animal cells do not contain cell wall, so not classified as animals.

So, fungi is re-evaluating its position in  the tree of life and in present there is a individual kingdom for fungi.
