How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

Your friend
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...

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 elongated, is known as the style; and the terminal part, which may be sticky, is known as the stigma.

I

  • The ovary contains ovules and each ovule has an egg cell.

  • The male germ-cell that produced by the pollen grain fuses with the female gamete present in the ovule.

  • The fusion of the germ-cells or fertilization produces zygote, which is capable of growing into a new plant.

  • The flower, which contains either stamens or carpels, is known as unisexual, such as papaya, watermelon, etc.

  • The flower, which contains both stamens and carpels, is known as bisexual, such as Hibiscus, mustard, etc.

Reproduction in Human Beings

  • Human beings have typical sexual reproduction process where mature male and female mate to produce a new baby.

Male Reproductive System

  • The male reproductive system produces the germ-cells; further, other part of the reproductive system delivers the produced germ-cells to the site of fertilization.

  • The formation of sperms or germ-cells takes place in the testes.

  • The formation of sperm typically requires a lower temperature than the normal body temperature.

  • The testes secrete hormone, namely testosterone that brings changes in the appearance of boys at the time of their puberty.

  • The formed sperms are then delivered through the vas deferens, which unites with a tube coming from the urinary bladder.

  • The urethra, likewise, acts as a common passage for both the sperms and urine.

  • The sperms are fluids that consist of mainly genetic material; it has a long tail that helps to move towards the female germ-cell.

Female Reproductive System

  • The female germ-cells or eggs are produced in the ovaries.

  • The egg is transported from the ovary to the womb through a thin oviduct known as fallopian tube.

  • The two oviducts unite and form an elastic bag-like structure known as the uterus, which opens into the vagina through the cervix.

  • During the sexual intercourse, most likely, the egg and the sperm (zygote) get fertilized and implanted in the lining of the uterus.

  • The thickened lining (of the uterus) and richly supplied blood nourish the growing embryo (in the uterus).

  • The embryo receives nutrition from the mother’s blood with the help of a special tissue known as placenta.

  • Likewise, the development of a child inside the mother’s body, takes about nine months.

Bill gates makes strange toilets

Your friend
Watch the Throne At long last, the successor to the porcelain throne has arrived. Well, maybe. The project began in 2011, when the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation issued the "Reinvent the Toilet Challenge." Samsung and the Gates Foundation joined up in 2019 to create the new product, which doesn't use a typical sewage system. Instead, according to a Samsung blurb about the toilet, it recycles pee through a purification process — while solid waste is dehydrated, dried, and "combusted into ashes." And they say only Apple comes up with the cool hardware! Clean Water It doesn't sound like serious stuff, but waste disposal is a significant global issue. The United Nations says that 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water services, and 3.6 billion lack safe sanitation services. And if that's not enough, more than 700 children under the age of five die every day from diarrheal diseases because of unsafe water and sanitation conditions....

How can I classify living Organism

Your friend
Biology - Diversity in Living Organisms Introduction Biodiversity term is used to define the diversity of life forms. Biodiversity is a word more often used to refer to the variety of life forms found in a particular geographic region. Diversity of life forms of a geographic region provides stability in the respective region. Base of Classification Greek thinker Aristotle first classified animals based on their place of residence whether they lived on land, in water, or in the air. Later, all the living organisms are identified and categorized on the basis of their body design in form and function. The idea of evolution was first described by Charles Darwin in 1859 in his book namely – The Origin of Species.’ Charles Darwin first described this idea of evolution in 1859 in his book, ‘The Origin of Species.’ Hierarchy of Classification Groups Some biologists, namely Ernst Haeckel (1894), Robert Whittaker (1959), and Carl Woese (1977) have attempted to classify all living org...

understanding Coal and petroleum-Chemistry

Chemistry - Coal and Petroleum Introduction The resources, which are present in unlimited quantity in nature and are not likely to be exhausted by human activities, are known as  Inexhaustible Natural Resources . E.g. sunlight, air. The resources, which are present in limited quantity in nature and are likely to be exhausted by human activities, are known as  Exhaustible Natural Resources . E.g. forests, wildlife, minerals, coal, petroleum, natural gas etc. Exhaustible natural resources were formed from the dead remains of living organisms (fossils); therefore, these natural resources are also known as  fossil fuels . E.g. coal, petroleum and natural gas. Coal Coal is hard as stone and black in color. Coal is one of the fuels used to cook food. Coal is used in thermal power plants to produce electricity. Under high pressure and high temperature, the dead plants those got buried inside the Earth, got slowly converted into coal. Coal contains mainly ...
