Can you be dyslexic in one language and not be in another?

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 06:16 AM PDT

I was never diagnosed with dyslexia but i think i might have it but its not the same for the languages i speak. I can speak 4 languages. English is not my native language but i never really had problems with it. But i have a hard time pronouncing longer words in my native language and that is the only thing i cant really do in my native language but in german i can't read for the love of god its unbelievable hard and even if i can read i dont understand what i read it all sounds gibberish in my head. I do not have a problem speaking listening or even writing it, just reading it. Is that normal or is it something else?

How does weight loss work? Where does the weight "go"?

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 04:18 AM PDT

I am a simple man so excuse me if this is a soomewhat childish question, but where does the a person's excess weight "go" when spent/burned? If a person stopped eating for five days they would presumebly lose weight, but they wouldn't be excementing anything as that is for processing incoming food. So where does the weight "go"? Is is all sweat, tears, urine and other waste that leaves the body or is there someother way it leaves?

What are the physiological differences between the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha and Delta variants? Have they been identified?

Posted: 10 Oct 2021 07:13 PM PDT

Genomic sequencing is done to determine what variant an individual has been infected with, so the consequential mutation(s) within the genome has/have obviously been identified. I would anticipate, then, that the physiological expression of the mutation(s) is/are also known, but I have been unable to find that information.

I must admit I'm not the most adept at scrounging through scientific databases, though, so I'm hopeful someone here can help me out!

Thanks!

Why can’t babies eat honey?

Posted: 09 Oct 2021 10:36 PM PDT

I know the basic answers "Honey can contain spores of Chlortridium botulinum which babies can't digest". But I want a deeper answer, why can't babies digest it but adults can? It also raises another question, some adults get botulinum toxin from improperly canned food because the spores activate in low oxygen environments, but why is it that why the spores are in the canned food adults can't digest it but they can when it's in honey?

Do other animals carry tools?

Posted: 09 Oct 2021 06:08 PM PDT

I know that other animals will use tools. Otters will use rocks to crack open clams, birds will use sticks to capture insects ect. But do these animals carry tools? Will they use a certain stick repeatedly because it works better? Will they have a favorite rock they carry with them to open tree nuts? Or are humans the only animal who constantly carry tools with them?

What is the youngest known species, evolutionarily speaking?

Posted: 09 Oct 2021 02:50 PM PDT

Also, assuming humans cause most extinctions currently, how likely is another evolutionary explosion should humans die off in significant numbers? Will life reemerge from the sea and successfully compete with existing non-aquatic species?

Why doesn't aging affect mitochondrial inheritance?

Posted: 09 Oct 2021 02:48 PM PDT

It is my understanding that mitochondrions are mainly inherited from the mother and that their genomes always remain separate and never undergo meiosis. which means they constantly have to do mitosis to be passed on through human generations. But why do mitochondrions never become senescent, why doesn't their genome get hypermethylated thereby losing correct gene expression and why don't they eventually stop functioning due to DNA damage? Human oocytes generally live in a suspended cell cycle with energy being expended on DNA repair and older human males have their germ cell lines become increasingly genetically unstable as they age which leads to less succesful pregnancies and various health issues in children. Why don't mitochondrions abide by the same rules? They have no oocyte like mechanism to prevent mutations, there are no suspended pure mitochondrions so they should get affected by normal aging processes? Right?
