Organisms that live in desert and desert-scrub biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. The Sahara Desert takes up ten percent of the continent of Africa, and is the largest desert in the world. The species that live in the Sahara are highly adapted to survive in the extreme conditions they live in. What morphological and physiological adaptations might be seen in the organisms that live in the Sahara Desert?

a.
water absorbing skin, large eyes for hunting at night, webbed feet
b.
light colored fur or feathers for camouflage, dense layer of fat and fur for warmth, hibernation during cold months
c.
small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months
d.
dark colored fur or feathers for heat absorption, large bodies and short limbs, consumption of primarily scrub and short grasses

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: c.  small bodies and long limbs in warm-blooded organisms, light colored fur or feathers to reflect sunlight, lack of sweat glands in many organisms, hibernation during hot months

Explanation:

Any adaptation of organisms in the Sahara desert will be ones that enable the organism to survive the heat as best as possible. Any adaptation that traps or absorbs heat will most likely not be seen here.

Organisms are likely to have small bodies to reduce the area that can be affected by the sun as well as fur and feathers that reflect sunlight to reduce the impact of the extreme Sahara sun on their bodies.

A lack of sweat glands are common with desert animals to avoid extreme water loss and it will be common to see organisms hibernating in periods that are especially hot so as not to be adversely affected by the heat.

The Haunted Forest

Once upon a time there was a family, made up of two young ones and their parents, traveling by road to road. One day the car broke down in the forest. The parents went out to get help, and so the children would not get bored, they left them with the radio on. It turned night time and the parents still did not return. Then suddenly they heard the disturbing news go on in the radio: A very dangerous killer had escaped from a prison near the forest. Hours passed and the childrenś parents did not come back. Suddenly, they began to hear something really loud. ¨Bang, Bang, Bang¨. They heard that which seemed to come from something hitting the top of the car. Then, the sound became louder and louder every time. ¨BANG, BANG, BANG¨. The terrified children could no longer resist. They opened the door and ran in a hurry. Only the eldest of the children dared to turn his head to see what caused the loud noise. He should have not done it though, there was a large and scary man on top of the car, who hit the top of the vehicle with something on his hands, they were the heads of his parents! The children began to run even faster and the large man began to run towards them. The children ran into the forest and so did the large man. After that day no one ever saw those children ever again, and who knows, they may appear mysteriously next to you.

And though my head felt heavy, I played on till dusk Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders And calling out in desperation things like "Yours" and "take it," but doing all right, Tugging at my cap in just the right way, Crouching low, my feet set. "Hum baby" sweetly on my lips. —"How I Learned English," Gregory Djanikan Compare the original ending with the version in which most of the vivid language has been taken out. Write three to four sentences explaining how the original version helps you visualize and understand the poem's story.

Answers

Incomplete question. The two versions of the excerpt read;

Original version:

And though my head felt heavy,

I played on till dusk

Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders

And calling out in desperation things like

“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,

Tugging at my cap in just the right way,

Crouching low, my feet set.

“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.

Adjusted version:

And though my head hurt,

I kept playing

Missing all the balls

And yelling

“Yours” and “take it,”

Adjusting my cap,

Bending down.

Saying “Hum baby.”

Explanation:

By including the statement, "I played on till dusk" the reader is able to sense the story's resolution from the original version. However, the adjusted version cut off some important expressions that show a sense of belonging felt by the speaker.

Hence, the original version gives an added description of the speaker's mood to the reader. For example, after saying, “Hum baby” he added, "sweetly on my lips."

Answer:

The version with vivid language is more interesting. I can see the main character playing the game and hear him shouting. I can feel the pain in his forehead and the tugging at his cap. The language connects with my senses in a way that makes the story seem real.

However, both pieces come from different literary periods. Patrick Henry delivered his speech in colonial America, whereas Ellen Sirleaf Johnson delivered her speech on today’s world stage to the United Nations. Compare and contrast the authors’ use of language across literary periods to advocate for change. Use evidence from both speeches to support your response.

Interesting in “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention” by Patrick Henry we note his use of figurative language to buttress his point and to compel his listening audience. He said emphatically, "We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts."

Meanwhile, Ellen Sirleaf Johnson uses similar figurative language used by Henry, depicting the inaction of the world's government as a form of keep silent. She said,

"the call for the reform of the United Nations...rings louder in its definite silence.. we urge the nations of the world...to bring this long silence to an end."

Define 'open depth of field ' in ur own words

Answers

Explanation:

Depth of field is defined as the area in a projected image, forward and aft of the focal plane, which also appears to be in focus in the image. When you pass light through a lens and focus that light to form an image on a piece of film, digital sensor, projection screen, etc., the area of the image that is in true focus is thin—the focal plane. Everything else is out of focus, to some degree. However, because of the delicacy of the out-of focus regions, you cannot notice the softness of the image until, as objects are located farther away from that plane of focus, the blur reaches a certain level.  Our eyes, and cameras, see a region of depth in an image where everything appears to be in focus.

Why is Jacob Marley a Ghost?

Jacob Marley, a ghost, appears in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He is the ghost of Scrooge's late business associate, who was imprisoned and tortured in the afterlife as retribution for his rapacious, self-centered, and heartless actions while still alive.

Marley's Ghost provides a visual representation of the Christian view of heaven and hell as well as the importance of repentance and restoration.

The elderly ghost that Scrooge recognizes has an enormous iron safe fastened to his chain, suggesting that, like Scrooge, he was a miser who hoarded his money rather than helping those in need.
