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 are fats and oil?

Fats

Introduction

  • Fat is a significant foodstuff for many forms of life.

  • Fats serve structural as well as metabolic functions.

  • The fats are molecules made up of glycerol and fatty acid.

  • Fat is an organic compound of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen.

  • Based on the number and bonding of the carbon atoms, fats and oils, are categorized in the aliphatic chain.

Functions of Fats

  • Following are the major functions of Fats −

    • Fat is a vital dietary requirement.

    • The fat is usually the stored source of energy in the body that remained store beneath the skin.

    • Fat acts a protective layer especially in the human body and provide protection.

    • Some of the vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K are fat-soluble, which means they can only be absorbed, digested, and transported in conjunction with the fats.

    • Fats actively help in maintaining the healthy skin and hair.

    • Fats insulate body organs against external shock.

    • Fats also maintain body temperature.

    • Fats promote healthy cell function.

Types of Fats

  • Following are the major types of Fats −

Unsaturated Fats

  • The fats that remain in the liquid form at room temperature are known as unsaturated fats.

  • Unsaturated fats are beneficial for health, as it improves blood cholesterol levels, stabilize heart beats, etc.

  • Unsaturated fats are commonly found in vegetable oils, nuts, and many seeds.

Saturated Fats

  • Saturated fats have no double bonds between the carbons found in its chain.

  • Saturated fats can easily solidify and typically found in solid form at room temperature.

  • Saturated fats are found in animals’ meat, cheese, ice cream, etc.

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...

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...

matter in our surrounding

Chemistry - Matter In Our Surroundings Introduction Everything found in this universe is made up of some materials, scientists have named them as  “matter.”  For example, the food we eat, the air we breathe, stones, clouds, stars, plants, animals, water, dust, everything is categorized as matter. Characteristics of Particles of Matter Particles of matter are very small, normally, not visible from naked eye. Particles of matter keep moving continuously, which is known as the  “kinetic energy.” Kinetic energy of particles directly depends on the temperature, as temperature increases, the speed of the movement also increases. The particles of matter have attracting force; therefore, they attract each other. The attracting force of the particles keeps the particles together; however, the strength of the attracting force varies from one kind of matter to another. States of Matter Matter has three following states − Solid State Liquid State Gaseous State Let’s discu...
