Open Question: biology questions please help..?
Describe how human intervention with a community can interfere with normal competition and with normal predation, giving two examples of each. We conduct an experiment where we place two species of grain beetles into what we believe are identical niches of meal in jars. However, it is very difficult to keep conditions uniform–one side is sunny and the other shaded, moisture may collect near the bottom and the meal dries out near the top. If our grain beetle cultures remain healthy with both beetles surviving quite well in what appears to be the same niche, why are we suspicious of the uniformity of our jar conditions and how could we refine the experiment to test the competitive exclusion principle further? The interpretation of the original lynx-hare cycles was based on a simple record-keeping of fur trapper pelts provided each year for the two species; there was no experimental manipulation involved. The text describes three experiments where both lynx and hares are provided ample food, then only the lynx, then only the hare. If this cycling was driven only by internal physiological mechanisms, which experiment would reveal cycling and prove this? Why? If you visit a tropical country, you must be more careful when drinking the water and eating vegetables and shellfish because you can become more ill than the native population; they have developed natural immunities to some of these organisms and are survivors of more resistant ancestors. Similarly, when a parasite or disease agent spreads to a new region, it is often more virulent than "at home,'' where the host represents a surviving lineage of resistant survivors. Explain why biologists consider virulent parasites and disease agents to be newer and evolution of parasites to move toward less virulence. How could this be used today to estimate where in the world bubonic plague first occurred? When pioneers settled new land, they eliminated beaver and wild turkey from some areas. The state fish and game officers often work to reintroduce these species with no problems. On the other hand, some exotic species from other countries are accidentally introduced into the same countryside and soon cause major ecological problems. Explain the factors that cause this difference.
Open Question: Veterinarian Career Question?
No one read the other questions so I shortened this: I would very much like to go to Cornell University when I am older. I have heard of "shadowing" and that I can be a veterinarian "apprentice" supposedly. I would absolutely and entirely LOVE to do this. Now that I have given you some information, whether useful or not, I now inquire: What are your opinions on being a Vet? Is it something someone can live with for the rest of their lives and enjoy doing it every day? I do not fully understand yet, but what are the fields in which I can work in? I know I want to be a vet. Will I only be allowed to help cats/dogs/fish/ regular pets or can I help cows/whales/etc. ? I'm assuming I must become a zoologist to care for exotic animals.... Is there any way I can become a regular veterinarian AND a zoologist? Also, can somebody explain if Vets like it when younger people "shadow" at ANimal Clinics and try to help out and learn. How will I do this? I know that I need to call the Vet and ask if they are willing to accept me. If they do let me shadow, what should I be prepared for? I am EXTREMELY shy and reticent and I do not feel comfortable around people other than my friends and my mom and brother. Sometimes when I am around someone and they talk to me, I am dumbfounded and stupified. It's like my brain shuts down and I can't hear them and don't udnerstand what they're saying!!!! I am really embarrassed about that too! I heard you can write a letter to a college you want to go to???? I am thirteen, so can I do that. My mom told me her friend's daughter is the same age and wrote a letter to cornell. ~ Lucy :0)
Resolved Question: Veterinarians? I have a question for youuuu!!!!!!!!?
apologize if this is not in the proper category... First off, I would like to warn you that this WILL be long. Also, If you are not willing to read my question and respond with a serious answer, please feel no need to continue reading. To begin, I am 13 years old and I have been dreaming of becoming a veterinarian since the age of four. I am an excelled student and have been since the start of my schooling. I in no way intend to sound self-absorbed when I say that, too. As abnormal as it is (compared to kids I go to school with) I enjoy researching and writing reports on animals. I understand that being a veterinarian isn't paperwork and is hands-on work, sorry to mislead you if I have. I would very much like to go to Cornell University when I am older. I feel that I have the potential and desire to really excel and succeed in whatever it is I am instilled in. I understand that being intelligent and determined will not get me into this college. I can only hope I will be accepted. I have heard of "shadowing" and that I can be a veterinarian "apprentice" supposedly. I would absolutely and entirely LOVE to do this. Now that I have given you some information, whether useful or not, I now inquire: What are your opinions on being a Vet? Is it something someone can live with for the rest of their lives and enjoy doing it every day? I do not fully understand yet, but what are the fields in which I can work in? I know I want to be a vet. Will I only be allowed to help cats/dogs/fish/ regular pets or can I help cows/whales/etc. ? I'm assuming I must become a zoologist to care for exotic animals.... Is there any way I can become a regular veterinarian AND a zoologist? Also, can somebody explain if Vets like it when younger people "shadow" at ANimal Clinics and try to help out and learn. How will I do this? I know that I need to call the Vet and ask if they are willing to accept me. If they do let me shadow, what should I be prepared for? I am EXTREMELY shy and reticent and I do not feel comfortable around people other than my friends and my mom and brother. Sometimes when I am around someone and they talk to me, I am dumbfounded and stupified. It's like my brain shuts down and I can't hear them and don't udnerstand what they're saying!!!! I am really embarrassed about that too! Also, I heard you can write a letter to a college you want to go to???? I am thirteen, so can I do that. My mom told me her friend's daughter is the same age and wrote a letter to cornell. I really have no one to consult with on this. My Mom and Brother are not sure about this stuff and I don't know anyone that's a vet. If you are thinking that I am too young to worry about this, please don't. I feel very pressured to excel and I have heard those words too many times. I am sorry if I seemed to formal... I am attempting to sound coherent so you won't pull your hair out trying to understand me. PLEASE IF YOU CAN ANSWER ANNYYYY OF THESE QUESTIONS, I WILL BE SOOOOO APPRECIATIVE!!!! Thank you so very much if you took the time to read this. Good luck to all, and happy answering and asking... ~ Lucy :0) Also: If it helps, I live in New York, Usa.
