i killed kinematics! got 8/10 for the test.. -boasts-
1 mark because i forgot tt e^0 is 1 not 0.. i only forgot for one part of the question.. how smart huh.
the other mark because i happily think that ln0 is 1..
-stabs self-

anyway.. biology test today was so-so..
now i know acid rain when inhaled (how to inhale?!) causes lung discomfort and NOT brain damage.. but brain damage makes more sense right? RIGHT?? :(

and i did some research on wikipedia on snakes.. they are pretty cute things XD

about their internal organs:
The left lung is very small or sometimes even absent, as snakes' tubular bodies require all of their organs to be long and thin. To accommodate them all, only one lung is functional. This lung contains a vascularized anterior portion and a posterior portion which does not function in gas exchange. This 'saccular lung' may be used to adjust buoyancy in some aquatic snakes and its function remains unknown in terrestrial species. Also, many organs that are paired, such as kidneys or reproductive organs, are staggered within the body, with one located ahead of the other. The most primitive snakes, including boas and pythons, have anal spurs, a pair of claws on either side of the cloaca which are used by the males for stimulation of females during mating.


which means they somewhat look like this.. click to enlarge :D

about how they reproduce:
A wide range of reproductive modes are used by snakes. All snakes employ internal fertilization, accomplished by means of paired, forked hemipenes, which are stored inverted in the male's tail. Most snakes lay eggs, and of those most species abandon them shortly after laying; however, some species are ovoviviparous and retain the eggs within their bodies until they are almost ready to hatch. Recently, it has been confirmed that several species of snake are fully viviparous, nourishing their young through a placenta as well as a yolk sac, highly unusual among reptiles, or indeed anything else outside of placental mammals. Retention of eggs and live birth are commonly, but not exclusively, associated with cold environments, as the retention of the young within the female allows her to control their temperature more effectively than if the developing young were in external eggs.

cool? go and see the site for more information on them.. x)
