General Science Questions

Amphibians are one of the most sensitive groups to change, whether that is caused by habitat loss, invasive species, disease, trade or climate change. Their sensitivity to environmental threats has been generally linked to the observation that amphibians are characterized by a rather permeable skin. Given their complex life cycles and other traits, amphibians are often recognized as indicators of ecosystem health.

In psychology, a projective test is an identity test intended to give an individual a chance to react to ambiguous stimuli, probably revealing hidden feelings and internal conflicts anticipated by the individual into the test.

Some examples of the projective test are ::

* Rorschach's ink blot test 

* Thematic apperception test

* Sentence completion test

The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

In vertebrates it consists of two main parts, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS consists mainly of nerves, which are enclosed bundles of the long fibers or axons, that connect the CNS to every other part of the body.

The nervous system has three main functions:

* To collect sensory input from the body and external environment.

* To process and interpret the sensory input.

* To respond appropriately to the sensory input.

The closet point in the Moon's orbit to Earth is called perigee whereas the farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth is called apogee.

Most stars are at main sequence point in their life cycles.

Plants developing in dry conditions are called as xerophytes.
