One factor that determines your skin colour is skin pigments. Most important ones are the pigments carotene and melanin.Firstly- Carotene- a yellowish-orangey pigment.Its story:It promotes yellow skin colour, of course!It can be converted to vitamin A by cells!It is abundant in veges such as carrots! This is why people say thatcarrots are sources of vitamin A.Fact: eating too much carrots cause

Well my impressions of the movie in succession order are; snore, hmm, argh, arrrrgh, oh, awh, sniff, and boo hoo hoo.I quite liked the movie, a great 3 hour mix of thrilling excitement and drama. If the trailers arent motivating you to watch the movie, here's a short as possible summary of the story.A few decades ago, just after the completion of the empire state building in new york, innocent,

First of all, Vege oil is a type of Fat. But hey, if you happen to be on a diet I reccomand vege oils and their products like margarine which your body can digest better rather than animal oil and their products like lard, cream, cheese or butter. Plus they are healthier for you.-Fats/triglycerides are polymers(large compounds made of smaller, similar molecules) of molecules of glycerine and

This movie followed the general plot from the book. I think HP book fans will like it more than the third movie. The scenes were very exciting and fast.The first scene, Harry's dream was very well acted out.The task with the hungarian horntail dragon will keep you on your toes, but it was really silly when the dragon climbed around the tower to get to Harry, as if its afraid of heights and

Well, under this topic, I'll just explain some phenomenon (actually, some biological indicators) to watch out for other than excessive jellyfish numbers at the beach.It is probably not a good idea to swim or fish at beaches or lagoons when:-Blue Starfish, yes, they are beautiful, but, their numerous presence means the water is polluted, maybe with excessive sewage in it.-Colourful beach/Red Tides

There are millions of microscopic algae in the sea water. They photosynthesise/use sun to make food. To trap the necessary sunlight, they use pigments/colours eg green cholrophyll.In summer/warmer water and also when minerals are available, algae Bloom/grow in number. In favorable times, just one alga can replicate (process of reproducing offsprings) a million times in 1 or 2 weeks!With

Like energy, the amount of water in the world is stable. It changes its physical forms, Ice-Water-Steam, but the amount of H2O never changes. Then, why are we facing problems of water shortages?Actually, we are facing problems of clean water shortages. This is due to many things like industries, pollution, global warming etc.-Industrial wastes may include heavy metals like mercury and lead which

(HP fan discussion)Dont worry, I wont bore you with 10 pages of my comments of books 1-6. This will be very, very brief.- Harry Potter and the Sorceror Stone is a fantastic but a bit short book.J.K Rowling is a great author that she explained a lot in such a short book. She added her unique sense of humor to spice up the story. Also, by the end of the book, everyone would have been feeling sorry

(HP fan discussion)OK, not many of you will agree with me, but the books are much betterthan the movies. But, who cares, movies have the gorgeous DanR, EmmaW, TomF and the hilarious RupertG.I really liked movie 1 and 2. Chris Columbus(director) did really well, justified the books and the now soooo famous young actors then were Really Young and cute.Moving on to Movie 3, what the………..? If you

For anyone who hates Toads, I’m sorry you have to bear this.For Toad lovers;Did you know, a toad has 3 eyes!? the third eye is on top of their head. Well its not actually an eye, its an organ that produces a hormone, melatonin or something like that, (I read about this longago so forgot most of those “nonenglish” names).I dont know why its called an eye, but I think its because it produces a

You can find the great Einstein's manuscripts and infos here. Manuscript in Einstein's handwriting (dated December 1924), with editorial markup. It was evidently used by Einstein to correct the page proofs in early 1925 and then left behind in Leiden. The publication is in the proceedings of the Berlin Academy of Sciences.

Do u know why some species of spiders r called Black-widow spiders? Coz the females usually eat the males after mating. In fact, many other animals eg female fireflies also devour males after mating. This sometimes happens unless if male have sense enough to scram quickly or offer another food supply for female.This is why these females are larger than males.Why such a carnivorous act? Coz they
