Polar Bears Body Temperature
1,467 wordsFirst of all we need to understand what ectothermic and endothermic animals are. Animals differ in their abilities to regulate body temperature (thermo regulation). We sometimes use the terms "cold-blooded" or "warm-blooded. " Most reptiles feel cold to the touch, while mammals and birds often feel warm. Somewhat more precise descriptions can be made by using the terms poikilothermic and homoiothermic. The body temperature of poikilotherm is relatively variable, while that of homeotherm's is rel...

As a result, there may be a tiny instant in that time span where the electrons happen to dominant on one side, rather than the other. However, this t...

Stratospheric Ozone Ozone Layer
2,496 wordsThe Atmospheric Ozone Layer The stratospheric ozone layer exists at altitudes between about 10 and 40 km depending on latitude, just above the tropopause. Its existence is crucial for life on earth as we know it, because the ozone layer controls the absorption of a portion of the deadly ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV-A rays, including wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, are not affected by ozone. UV-C rays between 200 and 280 nm, are absorbed by the other atmospheric constituents besides...
