| How does dyslexia exhibit itself in non-alphabetical writing systems? Posted: 05 Mar 2020 12:38 AM PST Does dyslexia affect different kind of writing systems differently? Is it possible to be dyslexic in one writing system but not in other? [link] [comments]  |
| Does listening to music with lyrics you don't understand interfere with reading comprehension? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 06:03 PM PST I know that listening to music with lyrics in a language you know can interfere with understanding what you're reading. Does this apply if you don't know the language? Like if I only know English but am listening to a song with Japanese lyrics while reading a book will it interfere with my comprehension of what i'm reading? I couldn't find an answer to this on google easily. [link] [comments]  |

| Does heavy cognitive thinking burn extra calories compared to light brain processing? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:52 PM PST I'm curious to isolate the work that the brain does and how much calorie burning it undergoes. I've seen research that said it's negligible, but then I saw this video: https://youtu.be/FTQhojTOCzE Does anyone have any conclusive ideas about this? [link] [comments]  |

| How do animals perceive morality? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 06:03 PM PST Mammals raise their kids, and often make great sacrifices for them, and this makes sense biologically, but do animals ever, say, behave truly altruistically? Does a dog trained not to bite humans understand that it is wrong, or does it understand that if it bites humans it will be punished? These questions are just details under the umbrella of the title.

| What mammal has the quickest and/or most myelinated nerves? Posted: 05 Mar 2020 02:34 AM PST In my animal physiology class many years ago my professor said that cats had some of the most myelinated (or was it the fastest?) conduction across axons. He then went on about the expression "as quick as a cat" . (I know about Giant Squids having the biggest neurons to try and compensate for not having myelin). He then later talked about how baseball players have the quickest nerves in humans. I can't find any sources for the baseball statistic or also about cats nerves. Any nerve conduction study's on other animals or also between different athletes? [link] [comments]  |
| What happens in the cells of wood when burned or scalded? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 09:01 PM PST Saw this post and was wondering, what does burning do to the cells? So some wood has large openings and some has really erratic grain structures so does burning/searing cause those to shrink down and become more dense and would that make it uniform? Or does wood act more like oxidizing iron and expand? Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Are there any organic materials that harden over time or when exposed to the air? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 10:20 PM PST There's a certain fantasy element I'd like to explain to myself; it's the Nergigante. A fantasy dragon covered in soft white spines that harden and turn black after a short period exposed to the air. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any organism that survives boiling water? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 10:34 AM PST Boiling water is the survival go-to for making water safe before drinking it, but are there microbes, parasites, algae, or any living organism that can survive that process and possibly still pose a threat to the drinker's health? Assuming there is some type of bacteria that grows on the edge of a volcano or some super heated place like that... is there an organism that lives in a freshwater ecosystem that can survive the extreme temperature change of boiling water? Thanks for the info! [link] [comments]  |
| What causes apoptosis to occur in cells, and how is it related to regulating the cell cycle? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 05:44 PM PST I am learning about the cell cycle and my textbook at school describes what apoptosis is, and how it is basically the cell endings it's life in order to control the organisms growth. But it isn't clear at all about what causes this. I assume this closely related to regulation the cell cycle as that is the what this entire chapter is about. My teacher went over most of the chapter except for this, so thanks in advance to anyone that can help me. [link] [comments]  |
| What are the actual theoretical maximum speeds of 4G and 5G? Posted: 04 Mar 2020 05:33 PM PST No matter how hard I Google, I just come across one contradicting article after the other. 100mbps, 150mbps, 1gbps, all without citations. I'm so annoyed by the lack of scientific explanation for the capabilities of 4G (and 5G, but I feel like that's asking too much) Can anyone shed light on this for me? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 04 Mar 2020 04:02 PM PST I just spent all day trying to reconcile contradictory usage of these terms by different textbooks and online sources. Don't know if there is disagreement among experts, or if am I reading poorly written material. Thanks in advance if someone can clear this up for me. Some sources use opsin as an umbrella term that includes rhodopsin and photopsin, saying that the retinal is attached to it. Some sources say that opsin and retinal are subcomponents of the visual pigments (rhodopsin and photopsin). Some sources use opsin instead of photopsin, ie rods have rhodopsin and cones have opsins Some sources use iodopsin instead photopsin, whereas some say iodopsin is only found in chicken cones. Is rhodopsin a combo of opsin and retinal? Is each type of photopsin a combo of opsin and retinal? [link] [comments]  |
