Is there an easy way to predict if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic without actually doing it in a chemistry lab?

How is the RNA polymerase, splicosome and nucleoporin complex disassociated in preparation for DNA replication fork formation?

I am curious how RNA producing machinery is cleared out of the way in order for DNA replication to occur without steric interference by RNA-producing and processing complexes. Does anyone have insight on this?

Do charges accumulate at the ends of a resistor?

Posted: 17 Feb 2020 02:05 AM PST

In a closed circuit with a voltage source, conductors and a resistor, there would be a voltage difference across the resistor and negligible amount across the wires. Since the electric field is the derivative of the electric potential, there would be an electric field across the resistor and none across the wires. Then, if closed gaussian surfaces were drawn around each end of the resistor, wouldn't there be a net electric flux through each closed surface and thus net charges within each closed surface?

Do cameras pick up wavelengths that the human eye cannot see?

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 06:16 PM PST

I am curious to know if the sensors in modern cameras pick up a wider range of light than the human eye can detect.

For instance if ultraviolet wavelengths existed within the photo that I took on my DSLR, would the sensor pick these up and store them as data? Or do camera sensors ignore light frequencies outside of our perceivable range to save space? What about film cameras?

I am aware that this is how some night vision systems work on security cameras and such, but I am unsure if these same processes of amplifying present but imperceptible infrared light sources happens on an everyday camera sensor.

What exactly creates radio deadspots? How can your car radio go from all static to clear signal by moving a few feet?

Do the 2-C series of phenethylamines share metabolites with popular ampbetamines?

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 09:12 PM PST

And my second question:

Would diphenidine share any metabolites with Ketamine, Dextromethorphan, or Phencyclidine?

How would I postulate what the common metabolites would be (for example) any given novel dissociative?

Can anyone explain the science of muscle relaxation? Specifically, how do stretching and massages result in relaxed muscles?

How do blood tests actually happen?

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 03:49 AM PST

Hi! I'm curious as to what are the processes involved in running a blood test, as in what is done with the extracted blood to determine the levels of a certain parameter. Why do they actually take so long? Thanks in advance

Do we have muscles in our toes?

Posted: 16 Feb 2020 05:20 AM PST

It seems that we don't have muscles in our fingers, but I cannot seem to figure out if we also have deliberate muscles in our toes.
