6 Factors That Secretly Influence Who You Have Sex With. Statistics indicate that more and more frequently, "hookups" are turning into meaningful relationships. While that might sound like a snazzy pickup line, it actually means you might marry someone because of the color of the shirt she was wearing the night you met her. According to science, the world around you is dangerously full of hidden aphrodisiacs that can land you in bed, and even in long-term relationships, with someone who's totally wrong for you. #6. Fear The Romantic Notion: "If two people are meant for one another, it doesn't matter whether they meet in high school or prison -- love will find a way.
" Science Says: "Did you see a comedy or a horror movie on your first date? We tend to think that emotions such as fear and anger cause our hearts to speed up. Here's where it gets weird. He just crapped his pants, and she's still going to walk away with a crush. In a study by Donald G. Yeah, science is a dick like that. #5. "Looks don't matter. This can, of course, be taken too far. #4. Panasonic Photosynthesis System converts carbon dioxide to organic material with plant-like efficiency. Panasonic Develops Highly Efficient Artificial Photosynthesis System Generating Organic Materials from Carbon Dioxide and Water Osaka, Japan - Panasonic has developed an artificial photosynthesis system which converts carbon dioxide (CO2) to organic materials by illuminating with sunlight at a world's top efficiency*1 of 0.2%.
The efficiency is on a comparable level with real plants used for biomass energy. The key to the system is the application of a nitride semiconductor which makes the system simple and efficient. This development will be a foundation for the realization of a system for capturing and converting wasted carbon dioxide from incinerators, power plants or industrial activities.
CO2 is one of the substances responsible for greenhouse effect and as such, efforts are being made to reduce the emissions of CO2 worldwide. We found firstly that a nitride semiconductor has the capability to excite the electrons with enough high energy for the CO2 reduction reaction. Through the Wormhole: Humans vs Aliens. Tiny reader makes fast, cheap DNA sequencing feasible. The various levels of electrical signal from the sequence of a DNA strand pulled through a nanopore reader (top) corresponds to specific DNA nucleotides, thymine, adenine, cytosine and guanine (bottom). Researchers have devised a nanoscale sensor to electronically read the sequence of a single DNA molecule, a technique that is fast and inexpensive and could make DNA sequencing widely available. The technique could lead to affordable personalized medicine, potentially revealing predispositions for afflictions such as cancer, diabetes or addiction. "There is a clear path to a workable, easily produced sequencing platform," said Jens Gundlach, a University of Washington physics professor who leads the research team.
"We augmented a protein nanopore we developed for this purpose with a molecular motor that moves a DNA strand through the pore a nucleotide at a time. " The researchers previously reported creating the nanopore by genetically engineering a protein pore from a mycobacterium. Antioxidants: Beyond the Hype - What Should I Eat? Table of Contents Introduction The body’s trillion or so cells face formidable threats, from lack of food to infection with a virus.
Another constant threat comes from nasty chemicals called free radicals. They are capable of damaging cells and genetic material. The body generates free radicals as the inevitable byproducts of turning food into energy. Free radicals come in many shapes, sizes, and chemical configurations. We aren’t defenseless against free radicals. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of different substances that can act as antioxidants. But using the term “antioxidant” to refer to substances is misleading. Health Benefits of Antioxidants: What’s the Buzz? Antioxidants came to public attention in the 1990s, when scientists began to understand that free radical damage was involved in the early stages of artery-clogging atherosclerosis and may contribute to cancer, vision loss, and a host of other chronic conditions. Heart Disease and Antioxidants Cancer and Antioxidants. La photosynthese. Kreb's History. Respiration electron transport chain.
Anaerobic System (Anaerobic glycolysis) Glycolysis. Photosystem1 and 2. Calvin cycle. Calvin Cycle2. Explanation The Calvin cycle is the second step of photosynthesis which converts ATP into glucose for storage. It is also called the "light independent reaction" or the "dark reaction" because unlike the light dependent reaction, light plays no role in the reaction. The Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma, the semi-liquid fluid inside chloroplasts. Transcript Photosynthesis is a 2 step process, the first step is the light dependent reactions the second step is the called the light independent reactions. I often will just simply call the Calvin cycle makes it easier for my students to remember and hear the difference between the 2 steps.
But they call the light independent reactions because it does not depend on light. Now this happens when the stroma of the chloroplast the organelle of photosynthesis and it's using the energy that's in ATP molecules and the energy of the electrons being carried by NADPH that were being provided to the stoma by the light dependent reactions.
