Like mentioned previously, the flamingoâs color comes from its diet of bacteria, algae, plankton, shrimp and crustaceans. Their bill is specially designed for the type of food that they eat. For example, the Lesser Flamingo has a deep-keeled bill that is ideal for the intake of algae and diatoms.
The diffusion coefficient D is a function of both temperature and pressure. Diffusion increases with increasing temperature (as molecules move more rapidly), and decreases with increasing pressure (which packs more molecules in a given volume, making it harder for them to move).
The partition-coefficient generally refers to the concentration ratio of un-ionized species of compound whereas the distribution-coefficient refers to the concentration ratio of all species of the compound (ionized plus un-ionized). In the chemical and pharmaceutical sciences, both phases usually are solvents. Most commonly, one of the solvents is water while the second is hydrophobic such as 1-octanol. Hence the partition coefficient measures how hydrophilic (water-loving) or hydrophobic (water-fearing) a chemical substance is.
