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...

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

    • reproduce


    • 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).

Fertilization

  • Fusion of the egg and the sperm is known as fertilization (as shown in the above image).

  • During the fertilization, the nuclei of the sperm and the egg fuse together and form a single nucleus that result into the formation of a fertilized egg also known as zygote(shown in the image given below).

Zygote

  • The zygote further divides repeatedly to give rise to a ball of cells that begin to form groups. The groups develop into different tissues and organs constituting a full body. In the process, the developing structure is known as an embryo (shown in the image given below).

Embryo Development

  • The embryo continues to develop in the uterus and develops body parts such as head, face, ear, eyes, nose, hands, legs, toes, etc.

  • The stage of the embryo in which different parts of the body develop and can be identified is known as foetus (shown in the image given below).

Foetus in Uterus

  • In a defined period of time, when the development of the foetus is complete, the mother gives birth to the baby.

  • The animal which gives birth to young ones is known as viviparous animal. E.g. Human, cow, dogs, etc.

  • The organism that lays eggs is known as oviparous animal. E.g. all birds (except bats), lizard, etc.

Asexual Reproduction

  • The type of reproduction in which only a single parent, gets divided into two new offspring, is known as asexual reproduction. E.g. Hydra and Amoeba.

  • In hydra, the individuals develop from the buds; therefore, this type of asexual reproduction is known as budding (shown in the image given below).

Hydra

  • In amoeba, nucleus gets divided into two nuclei; therefore, such kind of asexual reproduction is known as binary fission.

Amoeba Fission

Cloning

  • Cloning is the modern science technique to produce an exact copy of a cell, any other living part, or a complete organism.

  • For the first time, cloning of an animal was successfully performed by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • In 1996, they cloned successfully a sheep and named that Dolly.

The Fundamental Units Of. Life

Your friend
Biology - The Fundamental Unit of Life Introduction The fundamental unit of life is cell. Cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 in a simple microscope. In 1674, Leeuwenhoek, with the help of developed microscope, discovered the free living cells in pond water. In 1831, Robert Brown had discovered the  nucleus  in the cell. In 1839, Purkinje used the term ‘protoplasm’ for the fluid substance found in the cell. The cell theory was proposed by Schleiden (1838) and Schwann (1839). According to the cell theory, all the plants and animals are composed of cells and that the cell is the basic unit of life. In 1855, Virchow further expanded the cell theory and suggested that all cells arise from pre-existing cells. In 1940, the discovery of electron microscope made possible to observe and understand the complex structure of the cell. Unicellular Organisms The single cellular organisms, such as  Amoeba, Chlamydomonas, Paramoecium , and bacteria, ...

carbon and it's compound

Your friend
Chemistry - Carbon and its Compounds Introduction Carbon plays very important roles for all living beings. The amount of carbon in the earth’s crust is merely 0.02%, which is available in the form of minerals such as carbonates, hydrogen-carbonates, coal, and petroleum. The presence of carbon in the atmosphere of the earth is 0.03%, in the form of carbon dioxide. Compounds of Carbon Almost all carbon compounds (except a few) are poor conductors of the electricity. The diamond and graphite both are formed by carbon atoms; however, the difference lies between them in the manner in which the carbon atoms are bonded to one another. In diamond, each atom of the carbon, is bonded to four other carbon atoms and form a rigid three-dimensional structure (see the image given below). In graphite, each atom of the carbon, is bonded to three other carbon atoms in the same plane, which gives a hexagonal array (see the image given below) − There is also difference in some physical structu...

What happened to the dinosaurs?

Your friend
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAURS One day 66 million years ago, an asteroid the size of a mountain struck near the Yucatán Peninsula with an explosive force equivalent to 100 trillion tons of TNT. In that cataclysmic instant, the 165-million-year reign of the dinosaurs came to an end. The asteroid theory of the dinosaurs’ demise was first suggested in 1980. More than a decade later, the identification of the Chicxulub Crater in the Gulf of Mexico established where and when. Using an impact calculator developed by geophysicists from Purdue University and Imperial College London, researchers obtained a pretty good idea of what occurred at the moment of impact and immediately after—what is known as the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) extinction event. The asteroid struck the Earth at 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometres) per hour, creating a crater more than 115 miles across and instantly vaporizing thousands of cubic miles of rock. Any creature close enough to witness the strike was immediate...
