There are many endangered species of frogs, such as the mountain yellow-legged frogs, so it is important for frogs to have a safe and healthy environment. In this article, I will tell you factors that should contribute to an endangered frog species, MYF (Mountain Yellow-legged frogs.) The first thing that frogs should have of course is water. It is important to have a water source because, well, frogs need water to survive! The mountain yellow-legged frog also needs deep water to survive to avoid predators. If they live in shallow water. predators can eat them at ease because the frogs have nowhere to go. The second thing that frogs should have is no abundance of predators. An example of a predator for the mountain yellow-legged frog is trout. Before a scientist chooses a place to put the frogs, they take out plenty of trout that can stop the fish from eating the MLK. Another "predator" is bark beetles. Although they do not eat the frogs, they take away the habitat for frogs ...

(This article is not done yet.) Topics you will read about: -mouth -large intenstine -teeth -small intestine -tongue -appendix -epiglottis -salivary glands -pharyx -esophagus -liver -gallbladder Mouth According to https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/mouth, the mouth is an oval-shaped cavity inside the skull. The mouth is mostly used for eating and talking. The parts of a mouth are the teeth, tongue, lips, gum, minor salivary glands, and palate. Since we are already going to talk about the teeth, tongue, and salivary glands, let's talk about the lips, gum, and palate. A lip is a "soft pliable anatomical structure that forms the mouth margin of most vertebrates," according to brittanica.com. Lips are used for eating and keeping unwanted objects out of the mouth. Imagine having no lips, a bee could fly inside your mouth any time of the day! The gum is ...
What is an isotope? -Shorts
An isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Remember: the protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, the interior center of an atom. Because of the proton frequencies in isotopes, the atomic mass of an isotope will be different from the original element. Its chemical properties, however, will stay the same. (The definition of a chemical property is: A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. (wikipedia.com) Examples of chemical properties include flammability, toxicity, acidity, reactivity (many types), and heat of combustion. (https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/)) Isotopes are written by the name of a symbol of an element, followed by a hyphen, and the mass number. (The mass number is calculated by the number of protons ...
What is the difference between displacement and distance? -Shorts
To learn the difference between displacement and distance, we should identify what displacement and distance are in the first place. Distance is how far or long you have traveled, as you may have known. Distance is a scalar quantity, meaning that it gives you the distance or magnitude of how much an object has moved. However, it does not give us any information on what direction the object is moving, such as if it is moving right or left. An example of a scalar quantifies 6 meters. A block can move 6 meters, but where it is moving remains unidentified. A displacement is a type of vector quantity, which gives us information on how much an object has moved and what direction is it moving. For example, 5 meters to the right would be a vector quantity because it includes that is it moving 5 meters and that it is moving to the right. So, the difference between displacement and distance is that displacement includes the magnitude of an object and the direction it is moving, whereas ...
Basic Cell Structures and Parts
(This article is not finished) After this article, you will understand; -the basic parts of a cell -what the parts of the cell do -where parts are located Let's get on to learning! The Cell Membrane What is a cell membrane? The cell membrane, (also called plasma membrane), is the protective shield of the cytoplasm. (Cytoplasm is shown above as the blue stuff in the cell.) The cell membrane has a semipermeable lipid bilayer. This means that it has two layers of organic compound/fatty acids that allow only certain substances. What is it made up of? A cell membrane is made up of glycerophospholipids. According to https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/cell-membranes-14052567/, "Glycerophospholipids are molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains. Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of these membrane lipids." A fun fact about the cell membrane is that it does not need any energy to make ...
Introduction to Atoms: Nucleus, Protons, Neutrons, Atomic Numbers, Symbols, etc.
The parts of an atom are the nucleus and shell. A nucleus of an atom is located in the middle of an atom. In the middle of an atom, there are two different parts: protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and a neutron has no electrical charge. We can remember this by using the suffix pro in protons, which means something good. For example, if you have more money, then usually that's something positive. With this, we can remember that protons have a positive electrical charge. To remember a charge of a neutron, we can remember the suffix -neut, which means none. Neutral for example means something with no marks. With this, we can remember a neutron as a particle with a neutral, or no positive charge. The shell of an atom is basically the shape. In a diagram, the shell of an atom will be shown as an unfilled circle or sphere. Electrons lie on the shell of the atom and have a negative charge. We can remember this, as there must be a positive, neutral, and negatively ...
Why does warm air cover over cold air instead of sinking?
Many events such as blizzards and tornadoes, are caused by winds. But, how do they form? Blizzards form when two big areas of air meets. One air is warmer than the other and covers on the colder air. This is because cold air is more dense, more packed. Cold air rises, but it eventually falls and never expands, as warm air does. When we boil warm air, it creates stream. Steam expands and causes the mist to become very airy. We have tested this with an experiment. Discoverers put two tubs next to each other with a short pole between the two. (The pole is medium length, not the diameter of a straw.) The tub on the left contains water and ice, making it very cold. The tub on the right is contains dirt and hot lamps that are making the dirt hot. To test this experiment, the researcher puts an air gun in the cold water tub and puts the opening of the gun in the pole to transfer the air. The air successfully travels toward the warm tub with the dirt and the air from the gun ...

Carbon dioxide: The world’s biggest nightmare
CO2, (commonly known as carbon dioxide), is an immense problem on this planet. Many animals are losing their habitats every day, as well as people. In the future, people around the world will be breathing carbon dioxide. This gas is harmful to the respiratory system and have a variety of health effects such as headaches, dizziness, and difficulty of breath. How does CO2 affect the planet? What is carbon dioxide? How is it produced? These are common thoughts for questioning. I am about to answer all these questions in one article. What is carbon dioxide? Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, along with methane, nitrous oxide, and Fluorinated gases. These gases contribute to the heat and temperature of our planet. But we have too many of these, our world will overheat. In this case, we have the exact problem. This leads us to our second questions, how do we spread CO2? How do we spread CO2? Carbon dioxide is spread in many different ways. The biggest contributor to ...
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence, (also known as AI), is different from human intelligence. We use our imagination, awareness, emotion, and values to make decisions. Computers however do not possess these attributes. Sure, they have the ability to analyze large amounts of information quickly. But, humans have more of a genuine response to decisions. So what is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence is simply a replica of human intelligence in machines. Programmers have been working on making a program that makes the computer sound genuine in its decision or response. So far no one has made a computer or machine that makes authentic decisions. But, one program called, "Eugene Goostman", has come awfully close. Now you might be wondering, how do we know that this program makes authentic decisions? Before Eugene Goostman could be known as the first machine to make sincere responses, it had to go through a test. This test is called the Turing test. The ...
