Why do we need to conserve energy? First of all, reducing energy use limits the number of carbon emissions in the environment. In turn, conserving energy produces a higher quality of life. Reduced emissions result in cleaner air quality. In addition, it helps create a healthier planet, or at least helps sustain the resources we […]

Which fruit or seed is dispersed by animals?
Which fruit or seed is dispersed by animals? Examples include mangoes, guavas, breadfruit, carob, and several fig species. In South Africa, a desert melon (Cucumis humifructus) participates in a symbiotic relationship with aardvarks—the animals eat the fruit for its water content and bury their own dung, which contains the seeds, near their burrows. What seeds […]

What are the effects of quenching?
What are the effects of quenching? Even cooling such alloys slowly in air has most of the desired effects of quenching; high-speed steel weakens much less from heat cycling due to high-speed cutting. Extremely rapid cooling can prevent the formation of all crystal structure, resulting in amorphous metal or “metallic glass”. What is the difference […]

Do pilots pee while flying?
Do pilots pee while flying? Piddle Packs are small bags male fighter pilots use to pee while in flight. They are specially shaped bags with absorbent beads in them. If we have to relieve ourselves, we’ll unzip the flight suit—which is designed to unzip from the top as well as the bottom—unroll the piddle pack, […]
What are the applications of DNA sequencing?
What are the applications of DNA sequencing? Homologous DNA sequences from different organisms can be compared for evolutionary analysis between species or populations. Notably, DNA sequencing can reveal changes in a gene that may cause a disease. DNA sequencing has been used in medicine including diagnosis and treatment of diseases and epidemiology studies. What are […]
What is a secondary motion?
What is a secondary motion? Secondary animation also known as secondary motion, is used to refer to flat motions that are generated as a reaction to the movement of primary motion by a character. Examples of secondary motion include the rippling of water, swish of a cloak, or jiggle of body parts when a person […]
