Snakes are known to be:
-
Venomous
-
Poisonous
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. VenomousExplanation
Snakes are known to be venomous because they possess venom glands and fangs that allow them to inject venom into their prey or potential threats. Venom is a toxic substance that can cause harm or even death to the victim. Snakes use their venom for hunting and self-defense purposes. On the other hand, the term "poisonous" refers to organisms that are harmful when ingested or touched, but snakes are not considered poisonous because their venom needs to be injected into the bloodstream to cause harm. Therefore, the correct answer is venomous.Rate this question:

-
Can't digest
-
Can't breathe
-
Can't hear

Instead, snakes rely on vibrations that travel through the ground to sense their surroundings. This allows them to detect prey, predators, and potential mates. Therefore, the correct answer is that snakes can't hear.Rate this question:

Snakes are:
-
Warm Blooded
-
Normal Blooded
-
Cold Blooded
Correct Answer
A. Cold BloodedExplanation
Snakes are cold-blooded. This means that their body temperature is regulated by their environment, rather than generating heat internally. They rely on external heat sources, such as the sun or warm surfaces, to raise their body temperature. As a result, snakes are more active in warmer temperatures and tend to slow down or become dormant in colder temperatures. Being cold-blooded allows snakes to conserve energy and survive in various habitats with different temperature ranges.Rate this question:
