Pheromones

Pheromones INTRODUCTION I still need to do this part of the paper...after completing my experiment..this will include my purpose along with any information that led me to choose this topic. ANIMALS & PHEROMONES In 1959, researchers coined the word “pheromone” to describe certain substances produced by the glands of animals. (The Smell Book) Pheromones are chemical messengers that are essential to communication. The chemical pheromone, which gives each person his or her unique body smell, is a very powerful scent. Animals also produce pheromones. They affect an animal’s behavior, ways they communicate and how they mark their territory. Insects also produce pheromones, which are used as a defense mechanism and a communication system for reproduction. (Britannica) Humans also produce pheromones. EXPERIMENT The purpose of my experiment was to prove whether or not parents could identify their child’s shirt, from other shirts of children of similar age, using only their sense of smell. I also tested whether or not parents can tell the difference between the smells of all their children. pheromones, smell, five, individuals, species, same, parents, isaac, experiment, animals, smelled, shirt, sense, pheromone, identify, different, clothing, verse, son, release, produce, plastic, need, moths, male, jacob, insects, hughes, female, esau, each, defense, communication, children, chemical
