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...

what is Excretion?

Biology - Excretion Excretion Explained Introduction The biological process that involves in the removal of the harmful metabolic wastes from the human body is known as  excretion . Different species (organisms) use different processes for the excretion. E.g. many unicellular organisms remove their wastes by simple diffusion process from the body surface into the surrounding water. Excretion in Human Beings The body parts that the excretory system (of human beings) includes are − A pair of kidneys A pair of ureters A urinary bladder A urethra Kidneys are located in the abdomen (see the image given below), one on either side of the backbone. Urine that produced in the kidneys passes through the ureters into the urinary bladder where it gets stored until released through the urethra. On the other hand, plants have completely different process for excretion than those of animals. Oxygen (released in the day-time) itself can be considered as a waste product generated during...

How Do animals reproduce?

  Biology - Reproduction in Animals Introduction Reproduction is the most essential for the continuation of a species. Reproduction ensures the continuation of similar kinds of species, generation after generation. Modes of Reproduction Following are the two modes of reproduction − Sexual reproduction Asexual reproduction Let us discuss each one separately − Sexual Reproduction In animals, males and females have different reproductive organs. The reproductive parts in animals produce gametes that fuse and form a zygote. The zygote develops into a new similar species. The type of reproduction through the fusion of male and female gametes is known as  sexual reproduction . The male gametes, produced by testes, are known as  sperms . The female gametes, produced by ovary, are known as  ova  (or eggs). In the process of reproduction, the first step is the  fusion  of a sperm and an ovum (egg). Fusion of the egg and the sperm is known as  fertilization...

How do we Reproduce?

  Biology - Sexual Reproduction Introduction The sexual mode of reproduction comprises the process of combining DNA from two different individuals. There are two germ-cells (responsible for producing a new organism); one is large and contains the food-stores whereas the other one is smaller and likely to be motile. The motile germ-cell, normally, is known as the ‘ male gamete ’ and the germ-cell containing the stored food is known as the ‘ female gamete .’ Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants As shown in the image given below, flowers have different parts, such as sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Among these, stamens and carpels are the reproductive parts and contain the germ-cells. Stamen is the male reprodujctive part, which produces pollen grains (yellowish substance). Carpel, which is present in the center of a flower, is the female reproductive part. Carpel is made of three parts. The bottom part, which is swollen, is the  ovary ; the middle part, which is elongat...
