Can eggs break inside of Oviparous animals?

Like chickens, geese, and platypuses.

If the egg does break in them does it halt the time to lay until it self-repairs; Despite the other eggs being ready to to be laid?

Would we be able to see the landing gear left behind on the moon by the Apollo missions with a telescope to prove we landed there?

I'm not a landing denier/doubter. Just had a good view of the moon while driving home and thought about this.

What becomes diacylglycerol if it is not converted to triglyceride ?

Posted: 15 Jan 2020 03:06 AM PST

I'm a PhD specialized in genetics and cellular biology who is discovering the metabolism of fatty acid for a new project, so I'm not very keen on metabolism and organic chemistry and I would need some help on something I don't understand. Please don't use too much enzyme abreviation to be sure I can follow you, thank you very much.

So basically, I understood that generating a triglycerid can be done by linking together a glycerol with three fatty acid-CoA. The first two can be done without further manipulation, giving a Phosphatidic Acid. Then, you need to remove the phosphate group on the third alcohol residue of the glycerol before adding the third fatty acid-CoA, giving you diacylglycerol first.

And here is my problem, I'm using a review (Currie & al., Cellular Fatty Acid Metabolism and Cancer, Cell Press, 2013, 10.1016/j.cmet.2013.05.017) which focus on triglycerids and fatty acids. The main figure shows that diacylglycerol can either become a triglycerid by adding the third fatty acid-CoA or go to the pool of phospholipids of the cell. However, if I understood correctly, diacylglycerol IS NOT a phospholipid since it has lost its phosphate group.

Can someone describe to me or give me a clear reference to understand what happens to diacylglycerol if it doesn't become a triglycerid ? Unfortunately I don't manage to find this answer by myself. Thank you very much.

When the Big Bang happened, would it have produced gravitational waves?

Posted: 15 Jan 2020 04:29 AM PST

I was reading about the recent LIGO announcement about the unidentified gravitational waves and it got me wondering about the Big Bang and if it would have produced Gravitational waves when it happened. Is that possible at all?

What equipment or arrays have been proposed for astronomy outside of Earth, using coordinated multiple devices? An array of optical telescopes? An array of rods on the lunar surface for radio astronomy? Or other equipment spread through the solar system?

Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science

Posted: 15 Jan 2020 07:09 AM PST

Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science

Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...".

Asking Questions:

Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions.

The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists.

Answering Questions:

Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience.

If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here.

Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here.

Ask away!

When and how did we discover that space was a vacuum?

Posted: 14 Jan 2020 05:45 PM PST

Wondered when people figured out that space is void of matter, assuming it was long before we actually reached it?

If asexual reproduction came first then how did those first cells ever "evolve" into new forms of life?

Posted: 14 Jan 2020 02:35 PM PST

How did the tree of life ever branch off if it starts with asexual cells. Would they not all be clones of eachother?

How much melt is required in order for a volcano to be primed for an eruption?

Posted: 14 Jan 2020 05:54 PM PST

I seem to recall Dr. Erik Klemetti stating that Yellowstone is unlikely to erupt anytime in the near future as it has << 30% melt present in its chamber. This got me wondering... what is the link between % melt and how primed a magma chamber is to erupt, and how much does this change between magma types (basalt, andesite, rhyolite) if at all.

At what point does gas come out as a burp/fart?

Posted: 14 Jan 2020 02:06 PM PST

Just wondering at what point in the gas' journey through my body does it become a burp/fart and make its exit. What is the point of no return? Does it build up right in my stomach/lower intestine? Or deeper in to the body?

Why are reversals needed for anesthesia?

Posted: 14 Jan 2020 05:17 PM PST

What happens if you don't give a reversal? Why wouldn't they just wake up when the drugs eventually leave the body?

How does your body know where it has been touched?

Posted: 14 Jan 2020 09:12 AM PST

If someone else touches you, you know exactly where they touched you, even with your eyes closed. I understand that there a specialised cells in your skin that when they sense pressure produce an impulse which travels along nerves to the brain. But how does your brain understand where the signal comes from. I asked my friend this, who is first year medicine student, and they explained to me that for touch, the body is split up into dermatomes, and each one of these have a single nerve that goes straight to CNS, each detmatome covers a fairly large area, for example one can stretch all the way down your arm like a stripe. Using this I can see how it makes sense your body knows which dermatomes the signal of touch has come from but how does your body know where with in the dermatomes becuase the dermatomes are too big to be to be so accurate. I have read into this online and it says that there thousands of specialised pressure sensing cells in your skin for each dermatome but all the travel to the CNS down the same nerve. And I was taught in biology about the all or nothing rule with impulse crossing the synapse (all impulses which manage to cross a synapse will have the same action potential) meaning the impulse travelling down the same nerve form different receptors would have the same signal. So how can your body tell them apart.

Tl;dr Everything I have found out and know, impulse produced by a receptor detecting touch travel down the same nerve to the brain, and have the same impulse, so when it gets to the brain how can we tell exactly where it comes from.
