How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

20. The earthworm possesses a hydrostatic skeleton.

21. The factors that produce character in living organisms are Genes. Genes are character producing in an organism.
22. Phytoplankton has the highest biomass in a food chain

23. The hierarchy of organic evolution in plant: Schizophyta, thalophyta, bryophyta, Pteridophyta and Spermatophyta.
24. Gestation is period of time which a zygote develop to the time of birth.

25. Binary fission is a mode of reproduction which is common to both paramecium and amoeba.
26. The pancreas secretes hormone which controls excess sugar in the blood.

27. Plasmodium needs supporting cellular machinery to survive as it is not a free-living organism.
28. In a food chain on land, green plant is the producer.

29. Neurons that receive stimuli from receptors are called sensory neurones.

31. When a person moves from a dark room into a bright light, the pupils become smaller
32. Water makes up about 77.5% of the living protoplasm in various living things.

33. Wildlife conservation is enhanced by discouraging elimination of endangered species.
34. In humans, sex is determined by the difference in the nature of X and Y chromosomes in the male.

35. The structure of the ear which is responsible for balancing is the semicircular canals.
36. Chorion is the outer layer that surrounds both the embryo and the yolk sack.

37. Which of these is not a type of fingerprint?

42. An organism that has been extensively used to test the chromosome theory of heredity is Drosophila Melanogaster.

43. The mitochondria is the reservoir for energy in the cell.
44. Inbreeding involves the crossing of individuals of the same species, especially over many generations.

45. The phloem tissues transport manufactured food from the leaves mainly to other parts of the plant either for use or for storage.
46. Fossil records require the use of carbon dating to prove that evolution has occurred.

47. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their color. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes.
48. Tissue is a group of cells that are similarly arranged together to perform a specific function.

what is the second law of thermodynamics

The second Law of thermodynamics explained The second law of thermodynamics asserts that heat cannot move from a reservoir of lower temperature to a reservoir of higher temperature in a cyclic process. Rudolf Clausius, a physicist who first formulated the law, stated that “a cyclic transformation whose only final result is to transfer heat from a body at a given temperature to a body at a higher temperature is impossible.” The law describes the amount of work that can result from a transfer of heat What are some applications of the second law of thermodynamics? One notable example of the second law of  thermodynamics  is the  heat engine  model. Heat engines involve a cycle of increasing and decreasing temperatures that move a piston. The second law of thermodynamics dictates the amount of work that the changing temperatures in a heat engine can produce. The law is often applied to various types of engine How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to biology? ...

What Comprises of the Animalia Kingdom

Biology - Animalia Kingdom Introduction The organisms, which are eukaryotic, multicellular, and heterotrophic, are categorized as Animalia kingdom. The organisms of Animalia kingdom have no cell-wall. Most of animals of Animalia kingdom are mobile. Classification of Animalia Kingdom Based on the extent and type of the body design differentiation, Animalia kingdom classified as − Porifera Coelenterata Platyhelminthes Nematoda Annelida Arthropoda Mollusca Echinodermata Protochordata Vertebrata Pisces Amphibia Reptilia Aves Mammalia Let’s discuss each of them in brief − Porifera The literal meaning of ‘porifera’ is the organisms with holes. The organisms of porifera are non-motile and attached to some solid support. The examples of this group are Sycon, Spongilla, Euplectelia, etc. Coelenterata Organisms of coelenterata group live in water. The organisms of this group have cavity in their bodies. Hydra and sea anemone are the common example of coelenterate. Platyhelminthes The organisms o...

explain the element maganase

Chemistry - Maganese Introduction Manganese is a chemical element that usually found in combination with the iron. The symbol of manganese is  ‘Mn’  and atomic number is  ’25.’ Manganese is a metal very important for the industrial use. In 1774, Johan Gottlieb Gahn, first time isolated an impure sample of manganese metal in 1774. Features of Manganese Following are the major features and characteristics of manganese − Similar to iron, manganese is silvery-gray metal. Manganese can be oxidized easily, but very difficult to fuse it, as it is very hard and brittle. In air, manganese gets tarnished slowly (oxidization). Manganese is an element, which is part of the iron group. Occurrence of Manganese Manganese is the 12 th  most abundant element of the earth’s crust. Soil usually contains about 7–9000 ppm of manganese with an average of 440 ppm. Seawater has only about 10 ppm manganese; whereas, the atmosphere contains about 0.01 µg/m3. Pyrolusite (MnO 2 ) is the most im...
