Why is Vitamin C not part of the Vitamin B complex?

I don't get how niacin is closer to Vitamin B12 than Vitamin C. Vitamins C and B12 are both cofactors in protein synthesis, while niacin is a redox agent.

What does "turns per armature" mean in an electric DC motor?

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 04:25 AM PDT

What is it relevant to? What does more, or less, turns per armature achieve?

How can a digital clock become “fast”?

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 03:35 AM PDT

The digital clock in my car will slowly get more and more ahead unless I reset it; how does this happen? How do digital clocks normally function and why would it be fast of all things?

How does yeast fermenting in liquids cause it to be carbonated?

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 03:59 AM PDT

I understand that the yeast will eat the sugars in the liquid and convert it to carbon dioxide. How does this get trapped in the liquids and cause it to be carbonated?

If golf balls have dimples on them to make them more aerodynamic then why don't cars or planes have them too?

When driving manual you need to let go of the gas to shift gears. How can an automatic shift gears without you having to let go of the gas pedal?

Assuming power transfer is not a problem, would it be possible to use the kinetic energy of an orbiting body to generate power?

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 05:40 AM PDT

I mean, it's basically the same as having a body that is constantly falling between to portals from Portal 2 or whatever. So could we use this to solve our energy problems?

Why India’s Chandrayaan-2 is taking 6 weeks to reach Moon and land their lunar lander, while Apollo missions typically landed astronauts on the moon in about 6+ hours?

Why are we not using the heat from our own planet for energy?

Posted: 03 Sep 2019 07:41 AM PDT

Correct me if I'm wrong but when you dig down it gets pretty hot. So why are we not using the never ending supply of heat from the earth itself to satisfy our energy needs?

Side question, what would it take to harness the energy of a volcano?

Can Solar Panels be charged with Nuclear Radiation?

Posted: 02 Sep 2019 07:37 PM PDT

Or is it possible to create equivalent panels which can? Sort of like "nuclear panels"?

If so, can they exist now?

Wouldn't it be more effecient utility of nuclear energy than boiling water?

How are genes passed down from generation a to generation b? Do genes get passed down individually, or in clusters?

Posted: 02 Sep 2019 07:28 PM PDT

How do genes get passed down from one generation to the other? Are they passed down individually, or do they "cluster" together, and get passed down as a group? For instance, I have noticed that white people tend to have different hair texture than for instance black and Asian people - I have yet to see a black dude with a blonde afro and blue eyes, for example. I hope I explained myself good enough for the biologists in this subreddit to know what i am on about.

How are specific DNA primers constructed in the lab?

Posted: 02 Sep 2019 07:06 PM PDT

I've done projects where we've requested certain sequences, but I just can't imagine how a specific sequence can be constructed.

How do we know what dinosaurs, and/or other extinct/ancient creatures, looked like?

Posted: 02 Sep 2019 11:33 AM PDT

Having seen an imagine of a hippo skull recently, I drew comparisons to how cool dinosaur skeletons looked. But if we applied the same technique to reconstruct the animal from the skull of a hippo, how close would we be to getting it right?

Why are moths attracted to light?

Posted: 02 Sep 2019 09:12 AM PDT

I have always wondered why moths are attracted to light and I'm sure it's an evolutionary trait they may have developed over time however if this is true then what use would that trait provide and are there any other insects (I'm sure there are many) that exhibit this trait as well?

Why does adding salt to a vinegar solution make it get rid of rust faster? Is salt acting as a catalyst?

What's the step by step process of a Lightning bolt hitting a surface?

Posted: 02 Sep 2019 03:19 PM PDT

I'm currently animating a lightning bolt hitting the floor, and I want to know exactly what happens as it strikes. I'm not exactly certain on the exact process, and I generally try to get my renders to be true to life. I'd imagine dust particles would rise up, as the static increases, and I'd imagine them all kind of moving to a single point right before the lightning strikes? I'm sorry if I sound childish, but I'm genuinely unsure on how lightning forms, strikes, and dissipates.
