Reply:the name is a conductor.


the opposite of a comductor is an insulator.





conduction not only relates to electricity but hot and cold also.


you can say a metal pole in winter conducts the heat out of your tongue when you lick it.


conductors transfer energy easily, insulators do not..





thats why you have insulation in your walls to keep the warmth in

How do you pronounce "Vigna unguiculata", which is the scientific name for blackeyed pea/cowpea?

The problem with Latin names is that people don't always pronounce them the same.





Vigna can be pronounced "vig-na" (classical Latin), or "vi-nya" (Spanish-influenced Latin). In either case, the accent is on the first syllable.





"Unguiculata" is most often pronounced "oon-ghee-coo-la-ta", accent on the "la", or equal accent on "un" and "la". Another pronunciation would be "oon-gwee-coo-la-ta". same accent.





These variants are neither right nor wrong. People just get used to one or the other.

What is the scientific name of the moth from Silence of the Lambs?

the latin name? Acherontia atropos. Death's Head HawkMoth

What is the scientific name of the moth from Silence of the Lambs?
Death's Head sphinx moth, a European hawk moth, Acherontia atropos, having markings on the back of the thorax that resemble a human skull.


http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/vi...





Sphinx moths are also known as hummingbird moths for their ability to hover in front of flowers and sip the sweet nectar. The humming noise made by the rapid beating of wings along with an extremely long proboscis tongue increases the similarity with hummingbirds. Caterpillars of this group are known as hornworms because of sinister looking barb on the rear. A European species called the Death's Head Sphinx moth played a role in the book Silence of the Lambs.

Baked beans are called haricot beans.


The latin name is Phaseolus vulgaris. It's a variety of Common Bean.
Reply:The term Bean originally referred to the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna. The term is now applied in a general way to many other related plants such as soybeans, peas, lentils, kidney beans, vetches and lupins.

What is the scientific name for a bird watcher?
ornithologist
Reply:ornithologist
Reply:There is no scientific name for a bird "watcher." A scientist who studies birds is called an ornithologist. Someone who enjoys watching birds, particularly at feeders, but is not a scientist is called a bird watcher (imagine that! :)) Someone who is very serious about watching and finding bird species and spends a lot of time and money doing so is called a birder (in the US) and a twitcher (in the UK).
Reply:100% it's an ornothologist

Explain the correct form used to write the scientific name (genus and Species) for a living thing?

Hi im a seventh grader looking for the answer to this question... I really need your help! i have to take midterms later on ... Be sure to explain it well like a synopsis





Thanks for helping!

Explain the correct form used to write the scientific name (genus and Species) for a living thing?
1.As the words "binomial", "binominal" and "binary" all signify, the scientific name of each species is formed by the combination of two words, which are in a modern form of Latin:


the genus name (also called the generic name).


a second word identifying the species within that genus, for which the technical term varies, as follows:


a general term for the word identifying the species is the specific descriptor


in zoology, the word identifying the species is called the specific name


in botany, the word identifying the species is called the specific epithet


2. Species names are usually typeset in italics; for example, Homo sapiens. Generally the binomial should be printed in a typeface (font) different from that used in the normal text; for example, "Several more Homo sapiens were discovered." When handwritten, they should be underlined; for example, Homo sapiens. Each name should be underlined individually.


3.The genus name is always written with an initial capital letter.


4. In current usage, the specific name is never written with an initial capital.


For example, the entire tiger species is Panthera tigris


5. Some older works, on the other hand, would sometimes write the specific name with an initial capital.


6. There are several terms for this two-part species name; these include binomen (plural binomina), binomial, binomial name, binominal, binominal name, and species name.


7. All taxa at ranks above species have a name composed of one word only, a "uninominal name".


8. The first level subdivisions within a species, termed subspecies, are each given a name with three parts: these are the two forming the species name, plus a third part (the subspecific name) which identifies the subspecies within the species. This is called trinomial nomenclature, and is written differently in zoology and botany. For example:


Two of the subspecies of Olive-backed Pipit are Anthus hodgsoni berezowskii and Anthus hodgsoni hodgsoni


The Bengal Tiger is Panthera tigris tigris and the Siberian Tiger Panthera tigris altaica


The tree European Black Elder is Sambucus nigra subsp. nigra and the American Black Elder is Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis


9. In scholarly texts, the main entry for the binomial is followed by the abbreviated (in botany) or full (in zoology) surname of the scientist who first published the classification. If the species was assigned in the description to a different genus from that to which it is assigned today, the abbreviation or name of the describer and the description date is set in parentheses.


For example: Amaranthus retroflexus L. or Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) — the latter was originally described as member of the genus Fringilla, hence the parentheses.


10. When used with a common name, the scientific name usually follows in parentheses.


For example, "The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is decreasing in Europe."


11. The scientific name should generally be written in full. The exception to this is when several species from the same genus are being listed or discussed in the same paper or report; in that case the genus is written in full when it is first used, but may then be abbreviated to an initial (and period) for successive species names; for example, in a list of members of the genus Canis, when not first in the list Canis lupus becomes C. lupus. In rare cases, this abbreviated form has spread to more general use; for example, the bacterium Escherichia coli is often referred to as just E. coli, and Tyrannosaurus rex is perhaps even better known simply as T. rex, these two both often appearing even where they are not part of any list of species of the same genus.


12. The abbreviation "sp." is used when the actual specific name cannot or need not be specified. The abbreviation "spp." (plural) indicates "several species". These are not italicised (or underlined).


For example: "Canis sp.", meaning "one species of the genus Canis".


Easily confused with the foregoing usage is the abbreviation "ssp." (zoology) or "subsp." (botany) indicating an unspecified subspecies (see also trinomen, ternary name); "sspp." or "subspp." indicates "a number of subspecies".


13. The abbreviation "cf." is used when the identification is not confirmed.


For example Corvus cf. splendens indicates "a bird similar to the House Crow but not certainly identified as this species"
Reply:•Write the name of the genus first, and ALWAYS capitalize just the FIRST LETTER of the genus name.


•Write the name or the species next, and NEVER capitalize any part of the species name.


•Either UNDERLINE the genus and species names (separately), OR write both words in ITALICS. For example, the domestic house cat is Felis catus (Yahoo answer box won't let me underline the words or put them in italics as they should be, so just imagine).


•If you know the genus, but you don’t know the species, write the name of the genus capitalized, followed by “sp.” For example, Felis sp. (underlined or in italics) which refers to some kind of cat.


•If you’re writing about several different species of cat, and you’ve already mentioned the name of the genus at the beginning of your essay, you can then abbreviate the genus by just writing the first letter of the genus name capitalized, followed by the full species name not capitalized. For example, you could write F. catus or F. silvestris (again, underlined or in italics).
Reply:Capitalize the first letter of the genus and the rest of the letters are written in lowercase.

How do you say the meaning of the humpback whales scientific name?

How do you say the meaning of the humpback whales scientific name?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpback_wh...


The generic name Megaptera from the Greek mega-/μεγα- "giant" and ptera/πτερα "wing",[5] refers to their large front flippers.





http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/ABL/Humpback/Ab...


Scientific Name: Megaptera is Latin for great, or large winged. This is descriptive of their pectoral flippers (side flippers), which are unusually long. The species name, novaeangliae, is Latin for New Englander given because of the location humpbacks were first described by scientists.





http://www.consciousbreathadventures.com...


Their Latin species name, Megaptera novaeangliae, translates into "big-winged" (Mega: big; ptera: wing) "New Englander" (nova: new; eangliae: englander).

What is the scientific name when a person enters the dream stage of sleep?

Usually, it is called REM sleep. REM stands for rapid eye moment. I said usually because in most cases when one is awaken out of REM sleep, one is able to report fairly vivid dreams (even those who claim they don't dream). This happens with great frequency. In addition, during this stage of sleep the brain essentially paralyzes the body. Think about if it didn't, the body would flail all over the place, acting out the dreams. Also, this stage of sleep occurs more frequently as the night progresses. Finally, the electrical activity of your brain during this stage of sleep resembles that of the resting waking state (atleast compared to the other stages of sleep).





However, when a person is awakened out of the other stages of sleep that person is still able to report dreaming. These dreams, on the other hand, are much less frequent and much less vivid than those of REM sleep.

look in wikipedia
Reply:"Finches are passerine birds, often seed-eating, found chiefly in the northern hemisphere and Africa. One subfamily is endemic to the Neotropics. The taxonomic structure of the true finch family, Fringillidae, is somewhat disputed, with some including the Hawaiian honeycreepers as another subfamily (Drepanidinae) and/or uniting the cardueline and fringilline finches as tribes (Carduelini and Fringillini) in one subfamily; the euphonious finches were thought to be tanagers due to general similarity in appearance and mode of life until their real affinities were realized[citation needed]; the buntings and American sparrows were formerly considered another subfamily (Emberizinae). Przewalski's "Rosefinch" (Urocynchramus pylzowi) is now classified as a distinct, monotypic family with no particularly close relatives[citation needed].





"Classic" or true finches are small to moderately large and have a strong, stubby beaks, which in some species can be quite large. All have 12 tail feathers and 9 primaries. They have a bouncing flight, alternating bouts of flapping with gliding on closed wings, and most sing well. Their nests are basket-shaped and built in trees.





There are many birds in other families which are often called finches. These include many species in the very similar-looking Estrildids or waxbill family, which occur in the Old World tropics and Australia. Several groups of the Emberizidae family (buntings and American sparrows) are also named as finches, including the Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, which provided evidence of Darwin's theory of evolution."

What is it called when I'm afraid of fish? What is the "scientific" name for being a fish phobic?

Ichthyophobia is the fear of fish. It is described as a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted, fear of fish. Go to changethatsrightnow.com. It can take months ar years to get over a fear of fish. You need counseling/therapy if you suffer from Ichthyophobia.

What is it called when I'm afraid of fish? What is the "scientific" name for being a fish phobic?
Ichthyophobia is the fear of eating fish, but there is no term for the fear of fish in general, and Ichthyophobia can also referenced to as the fear of live fish. Agrizoophobia is the fear of wild animals- including fish in the ocean, but not necessarily all wild animals, so that would the answer to a phobia of wild fish.

What is the common and scientific name of this fish?
Because there are SO many species of fish, that are in the genus Cirrhilabrus, it is very difficult to narrow down the species by just a picture.





However... I believe this looks like the Red/Rosy-scaled Fairy wrasse...


That would mean it's scientific name is Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis.





If this isn't the correct fish, I suggest either looking up the genus of Cirrhilabrus or Paracheilinus to narrow down your search.

What is the scientific name for 'black lung disease'?
Pneumoconiosis, also known as miner's lung, which is a lung condition caused by the inhalation of dust, characterized by formation of nodular fibrotic changes in lungs.





Many substances can cause pneumoconiosis including asbestos, silica, talc, kaolinite and other metal compounds.





Depending on the type of dust, variants of the disease are considered. For example there are silicosis, also known as grinders' disease; and pneumosilicosis, which is caused by the inhalation of the dust of stone, sand, or flint containing silica. Because many common minerals contain silica, there are different types of silicosis.

Any other homework you need done?
Reply:There are three main types of skin cancer. The scientific/medical names for these three common types are:





Melanoma


Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)


Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)





SCC can occur in many places though, not just the skin, as "squamous" basically refers to the lining of something. Other common places for SCC are in your mouth, tonsils, tongue etc and also slightly less commonly, in the rectum.

Is there a scientific name for comparing the difference in brightness of stars?

What I really mean, is there a scientific term for the idea that even though a star can be further away, if it is really bright, it can look closer then a dimmer, closer star

Is there a scientific name for comparing the difference in brightness of stars?
absolute magnitude
Reply:Yes, that is the exact definition of Absolute Magnitude. That is the actually brightness of a star, not as viewed from earth. As viewed from earth is apparent magnitude and, like you said, it could look dimmer if its farther away. Kind of like how the sun is looks like the brightest star, but is actually pretty average.
Reply:The idea doesn't have a name, but the concept of absolute magnitude takes this into account. Apparent magnitude is the brightness of a star as seen from earth. Absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star as seen from a standard distance (10 parsecs/32.6 light-years). If we know a star's apparent magnitude and distance, we can calculate its absolute magnitude.
Reply:Since distances reduce the brightness, the standard distance is used in absolute magnitude.That is all stars are kept at 32.6LY(10 parsec)and compared.This is different from what we actually see.





There is also variable star observation where we compare the changing brightness over time
Reply:The term for how bright a star appears is Magnitude, and is a relative scale with the brightest star (Sirius) being assigned a magnitude of 1 and the dimmest star you can see without a lens on a clear country night being about a magnitude 5 or so. Scientists have ways of determining distance and type of star from the spectrum of the light being generated, among other tools, so they can get a pretty good idea of how much light leaves the star initially compared to how much actually gets here.
Reply:There's no specific name for comparing stars' brightness, but the most easily understood scale that compares stellar brightness is called "apparent magnitude," which is how bright the star appears to us on Earth. That scale is kind of backwards, meaning that the *smaller* the number the brighter the star. For example, a star with apparent magnitude of 2 is brighter than one with an apparent magnitude of 6.





FYI...our sun has an apparent magnitude of minus 26, which makes it the brightest star we can see from Earth.

Reply:homo sapiens
Reply:Humans, or human beings, are biologically classified as bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man" or "thinking man") under the family Hominidae (the great apes).[1] Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make greater use of tools than any other species.





Like most primates, humans are by nature social. However, humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication such as language for self-expression and the exchange of ideas. Humans create complex social structures composed of co-operating and competing groups, ranging in scale from nations to individual families, and social interaction between humans has established a variety of social norms, rituals, traditions, values, laws, and ethics which form the basis of human society. Humans also have an innate appreciation for enjoyment, beauty and aesthetics which, combined with the human desire for self-expression, has led to cultural innovations such as art, literature and music.





Humans are also noted for their desire to understand and influence the world around them, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, religion, philosophy and mythology. Humans are also one of the few species that have sex just for pleasure. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills; humans are the only species to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies. It has also led to the exploration of spiritual concepts such as the soul and deities.

What is the scientific name for the VELOCIRAPTOR?

my daughter is doing a report for the 2nd grade and needs the scientific name for the velociraptor.. it "means " speedy thief" but that is not the scientific name..IS IT?

What is the scientific name for the VELOCIRAPTOR?
While the birds of prey (falcons, eagles, hawks) are indeed called raptors, the name for that group of predatory birds is also based on the original latin name for thief, which is raptor.





So Velociraptor does indeed mean 'speedy thief'.





Velociraptor is the genus name for the small, predatory Dromaeosaurid dinosaur.





There is currently only one recognized species in the Genus, and that is Velociraptor mongoliensis. That is indeed the scientific name for the Velociraptor.





Unlike most living animals, dinosaurs don't really have 'common' names besides their scientific names, since they didn't have names before scientists described them.





This saves a lot of confusion amongst scientists, because they know exactly what is being talked about when someone says 'velociraptor', unlike a non-scientific common name, like 'panther', 'elk' or 'daddy longlegs'.





However, it sometimes creates confusion amongst the public when the taxonomy is revised and the scientific names of critters change - so that Brontosaurus becomes Apatosaurus or Velociraptor antirrhopus becomes Deinonychus antirrhopus. It makes perfect sense if you know the science behind the revision, but not so much if you're just reading about dinosaurs in a book, or seeing them in movies.
Reply:Velociraptor mongoliensis
Reply:Most extinct animals are commonly known by their scientific names. Tyrannosaurus rex (Tyrant Lizard king), Triceratops (Three horned face) and Velociraptor mongoliensis (Swift Robber from mongolia) are all the scientific names for the animals. Yes, it means "Swift Robber" in ancient Greek, not Bird of Prey, as commonly thought.


Some facts about Velociraptor: it was small, about 2.5 feet tall and 6 feet long, it most probably had feathers covering its body like a bird, estemated speed would be around 15 to 20 mph, it was quite intelligent, about as much so as a small monkey, stiff bony rods stiffened the tail so as to act as a balancing pole while the animal kicked with its feet at prey, and it lived in a desert climate puctuated with oases and small jungles. Other dinosaurs that lived with Velociraptor were Oviraptor, Shuvuua and Protoceratops.
Reply:It does not mean "speedy thief". It means "swift bird of prey". Velociraptor is in fact the correct scientific name for this dinosaur.
Reply:Velociraptor is a genus name. People believe that there was at least two species (one that lived in Asia and one that lived in the Americas.) But only one has been named. The current species name is mongoliensis after the place it was found (Mongolia).
Reply:V. mongoliensis
Reply:The full Scientific Name is Velociraptor mongoliensis.
Reply:It sure is the scientific name. There was another name which it used to be known and that was ovoraptor which is not the official name.

What does the Giganturid eat, and what is its Scientific Name?

It's for a science report, so I can't say it eats other fish. It has to be specific. (I.E crustaceans)

What does the Giganturid eat, and what is its Scientific Name?
Giganturids or telescopefishes belong to family Giganturidae and genus Gigantura (there are two species: G.indica and G. chuni)


According to Fishbase (see link below) Gigantura chuni eats other fish, including Cyclothone sp., Gonostoma sp. and Chauliodus. No similar data exist for G. indica.


Unfortunately there is not much available information for these deep-sea fishes.
Reply:G.indica and G. chuni and they eat fish.

What are the effects and scientific name of rubella?
Alternative Names Return to top





Three day measles; German measles


Definition Return to top





Rubella is a contagious viral infection with mild symptoms associated with a rash.





Causes Return to top





The disease is caused by a virus that is spread through the air or by close contact. It can also be transmitted to a fetus by a mother with an active infection, causing severe disease in the fetus. In children and adults, rubella is usually mild and may even go unnoticed.





Children generally have few symptoms, but adults may experience fever, headache, malaise, and a runny nose before the rash appears. A person can transmit the disease from 1 week before the onset of the rash, until 1-2 weeks after the rash disappears. The disease is less contagious than rubeola (measles). Lifelong immunity to the disease follows infection, and there is a safe and effective vaccine to prevent rubella.





Rubella is most serious because of its ability to produce defects in a developing fetus if the mother is infected during early pregnancy. Congenital rubella syndrome occurs in 25% or more of infants born to women who acquired rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy.





Defects are rare if the infection occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. One or more defects may occur in an infected fetus and include deafness, cataracts, microcephaly, mental retardation, congenital heart defects, and other problems. A miscarriage or stillbirth may occur.





Risk factors include lack of immunization and exposure to an active case of rubella
Reply:Rubella is the scientific name for German Measles..


Birth defects if acquired by a pregnant woman: deafness, cataracts, heart defects, mental retardation, and liver and spleen damage (at least a 20% chance of damage to the fetus if a woman is infected early in pregnancy)

The scientific name of a species is written in italics and includes which one of the following?

A. the order to which the species belongs


B. the class to which the species belongs


C. the phylum to which the species belongs


D. the genus to which the species belongs

The scientific name of a species is written in italics and includes which one of the following?
Basically there're two words, right? the first one is species, and the second is genus.


Basically they're both supposed to be italicised, but if you cannot write like that, underline them, using SEPARATE underlines. Capitalise the first letter of the first word [ie the species], and the genus is in lower case.


So the answer's D! (:
Reply:D) Is correct. This is known as binomial nomenclature. You write the genus to begin with a Capital Letter and then the specie with a lower case (both italicized)

Hope that helps.
Reply:Three groups of seaweeds are recognised, according to their pigments that absorb light of particular wavelengths and give them their characteristic colours of green, brown or red.


Seaweeds are marine algae: saltwater-dwelling, simple organisms that fall into the rather outdated general category of "plants". Most of them are the green (about 1200 species), brown (about 1750 species) or red (about 6000 species) Most people know two major groups of seaweeds: wracks (members of the brown algal order Fucales such as Fucus) and kelps (members of the brown algal order Laminariales such as Laminaria), and some have heard of Carrageen or Irish Moss (a red alga, Chondrus crispus) and Dulse or Dillisk (also a red alga, Palmaria palmata). Seaweeds make up the Sargasso Sea, a large ocean gyre in the western Atlantic where drift plants of the genus Sargassum accumulate. Seaweeds are very important ecologically: they dominate the rocky intertidal in most oceans, and in temperate and polar regions cover rock surfaces in the shallow subtidal. The Bull or Giant Kelp (Macrocystis) is one of the largest plants in the world) and in California forms an important assocation with the Sea Otter.





The main food species grown by aquaculture in China, Korea and Japan are Nori (Porphyra, a red alga), Kombu or Kunbu (Laminaria or Saccharina: brown algae) and Wakame (Undaria, also a brown alga). In Japan alone, the total annual production value of nori amounts to %26gt;US$2 billion, one of the most valuable crops produced by aquaculture in the world. In most western countries food and animal consumption is relatively restricted and there has not been any great pressure to develop mass cultivation techniques.


What is the scientific name for the "crazy raspberry ant"?

I'm reading news articles about these ants causing problems in Texas, but can't find their scientific name in a google search or in any of the articles that mention them.

What is the scientific name for the "crazy raspberry ant"?
The news references "paratrenicha species near pubens"





But that is either a misnomer, or they are cousins of the crazy ant (Paratrechina pubens) - a caribbean ant of the same genus at least.





I think they are simply the crazy ant and the news is doing a bad job of reporting.
Reply:This ant has yet to be identified to species due to confusion regarding the taxonomy of the genus. Therefore, this ant is referred to as Paratrechina sp. nr. pubens.

What is the scientific name of cheese?

We're talking about American, Cheddar, Mozerella(sp?). I know there has to be a scientific name for it, question is what it could be for each type. Mostly I'm interested in the common cheeses.

What is the scientific name of cheese?
Wiki it friend:





The origin of the word cheese appears to be the Latin caseus, from which the modern word casein is closely derived. The earliest source is probably from the proto-Indo-European root *kwat-, which means "to ferment, become sour".





In the English language, the modern word cheese comes from chese (in Middle English) and cīese or cēse (in Old English). Similar words are shared by other West Germanic languages — Frisian tsiis, Dutch kaas, German Käse, Old High German chāsi — all of which probably come from the reconstructed West-Germanic root *kasjus, which in turn is an early borrowing from Latin.





The Latin word caseus is also the source from which are derived the Spanish queso, Portuguese queijo, Malay/Indonesian Language keju (a borrowing from the Portuguese word queijo), Romanian caş and Italian cacio.





The Celtic root which gives the Irish cáis and the Welsh caws are also related.





When the Romans began to make hard cheeses for their legionaries' supplies, a new word started to be used: formaticum, from caseus formatus, or "molded cheese". It is from this word that we get the French fromage, Italian formaggio, Catalan formatge, Breton fourmaj and Provençal furmo. Cheese itself is occasionally employed in a sense that means "molded" or "formed". Head cheese uses the word in this sense.
Reply:ummm no?
Reply:No technically scientific name. But since scientific names are Latin, perhaps you could go with "caseus". Then, since many cheeses are named for locations, you could latinize them. So cheddar would be Caseus Cheddarium.
Reply:Cheese is coagulated (and usually aged) milk. The coagulation is done in various ways. Why do you need a scientific name? Somethings are the same in English and scientific.
