Lente insulin is a type of insulin that is used in the management of diabetes. It is a long acting insulin composed of both intermediate and rapid acting insulins, usually characterized by its onset of action in 2-4 hours, peak effect in 8-12 hours, and a total duration of action of up to 24 hours. Its primarily used to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes and is intended to be injected or infused subcutaneously only. Currently, Lente insulin is discontinued in many parts of the world.

Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be true pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves. The plants attract and drown their prey with nectar.

Genus Mobula, also known as Mobula rays or devil rays, is a genus of rays in the family Mobulidae found worldwide in tropical and temperate seas. This group of large rays is characterized by their pointed pectoral fins and heads that appear distinctly separate from their bodies. Most species in the genus Mobula are pelagic, meaning they live in the open ocean rather than close to the coast. They are known for their acrobatic breaching behaviors, jumping out of the water, possibly as a way to communicate or remove parasites.

Australopithecus is an extinct genus of hominids. From the evidence gathered by palaeontologists and archaeologists, it appears that the Australopithecus genus evolved in eastern Africa around 4 million years ago before spreading throughout the continent and eventually becoming extinct 2 million years ago. During this time period a number of australopith species emerged, including Australopithecus afarensis, A. africanus, A. anamensis, A. bahrelghazali, A. garhi and A. sediba. There is still some debate amongst academics whether certain African hominid species of this time, such as A. robustus and A. boisei, constitute members of the same genus; if so, they would be considered to be robust australopiths whilst the others would be considered gracile australopiths. However, if these species do indeed constitute their own genus, then they may be given their own name, Paranthropus. It is widely held by archaeologists and palaeontologists that the australopiths played a significant part in human evolution, being the first of the hominins to show presence of a gene which cause increased length and ability of neurons in the brain, the duplicated SRGAP2 gene It was one of the australopith species that eventually evolved into the Homo genus in Africa around 2 million years ago, which contained within it species like Homo habilis, H. ergaster and eventually the modern human species, H. sapiens sapiens.
