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...

Biology - Hormones in Animal


Introduction

  • Human body has different glands (as shown in the image given below) that secret Hormones (liquid substance), which are essential for the different body functions.

Endocrine GlandsAdrenaline Hormone is secreted from the adrenal glands. It is secreted directly into the blood and then carried to different parts of the body.

  • On the other hand, plants have hormones that control and regulate their directional growth.

  • Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland that makes thyroxin hormone.

  • Further, Iodine is an essential element for the synthesis of thyroxin.

  • Deficiency of Iodine, that might cause goiter.

  • The term “goiter” refers to the abnormal expansion of the thyroid gland (resulting into swollen neck).

  • Thyroxin Hormone regulates carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism in the body and provide the best balance for body growth.

  • Growth hormone, which is secreted by the pituitary gland, regulates growth and development of the body.

  • The deficiency of growth hormone in childhood causes dwarfism short height.

  • During the age of 10-12, there are certain physical change in the bodies of children, which is caused by the secretion of testosterone in boys and oestrogen in girls.

  • As shown in the image given above, it is significant difference between male and female body i.e. males have testis (secretes Testosterone Hormone) and females have ovary (secretes Oestrogen Hormone).

  • Insulin is a hormone, which is produced by the pancreas and helps in regulating the sugar levels of blood.

  • If insulin is not secreted in proper amounts or on a proper time, the sugar level in the blood rises, which may cause different harmful effects in the body.

How to predict exam and text questions

Your friend
                How To Predict Exam/Text Questions how to predict exam questions Predicting the questions that will be on the test is an efficient approach to study for tests. Predicting exam questions can help you concentrate on the most crucial topics to know before taking the test. Identifying the most likely sources of knowledge from which your teacher will generate exam questions is the key to predicting test questions. The following are likely source of a test question Any textbook portions that your teacher discusses in class Your teacher may supply information that is not included in your textbook. questions your teacher ask in class. The information that your teacher writes on the whiteboard Your teacher's PowerPoint presentation contains information that you need to know. Anything your teacher reads out loud to you. Verbal cues, such as information repeated by your teacher. Visual clues, such as information provided by your teacher ...

what is gravity

Your friend
Physics - Gravitation Introduction All celestial bodies those found in the universe attract each other and the force of attraction among these bodies is called as the  gravitational force . Universal Law of Gravitation Every object in the universe has the property to attract every other object with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (see the image given below). F  = force of attraction between two the objects ‘A’ & ‘B’ M  = mass of ‘A’ m  = mass of ‘B’ d 2  = the square of the distance between ‘A’ & ‘B’ G  = is the constant of proportionality and is known as the universal gravitation constant. The SI unit of G is  N m 2  kg –2 . It is obtained by substituting the units of force, distance and mass (as given in the following equation − $$G = \frac{Fd^2}{M \times m}$$ Henry Cavendish had calculated the value of  ‘G’  as  6.6...

What is hereditary and evolution

Your friend
Heredity and Evolution Introduction evolution The principle of heredity determines the process by which traits and characteristics of an organism are reliably inherited. There are some organisms (especially plants) in which there are very less variations and sometimes difficult to establish the differences, but in some other organisms (especially human beings), there are comparatively greater variations. This is the reason that offspring do not look similar. Rules for the Inheritance of Traits – Mendel’s Contributions Johann Mendel is known as " father of modern genetics ." In human beings, the rules for inheritance of traits and characteristics are related to the fact that both the father and the mother equally contribute the genetic material to their child. Further, each trait of an offspring is usually influenced by both paternal and maternal DNA. Johann Mendel, who was an Austrian scientist, had experimented on peas and gave the “ laws of inheritance .” Mendel used a vari...
