| Why major human body organs like kidneys and heart weaken or stop functioning in COVID patients? Posted: 16 May 2021 05:12 AM PDT I heard that when the virus enters the body it causes septicemia(bloodstream infection) which damages the organs. [link] [comments]  |

| Is it possible for there to be humans that are intelligent actors, but are not conscious? Posted: 15 May 2021 02:42 PM PDT By that I mean a human that can learn and act intelligently, and respond to external stimuli, but arn't actually awake inside their head. Is it possible to actually know whether someone is awake inside? [link] [comments]  |
| Is CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) a type of active or passive transport? Posted: 15 May 2021 05:55 PM PDT I started researching CF and saw that the CFTR protein channel is ATP gated; this confused me because many sites say that CFTR is a passive transport but if it is ATP gated, would it not use ATP to transport ions? Maybe I just don't understand what ATP gated means [link] [comments]  |
| How does Luminol act as a poison upon ingestion? Posted: 15 May 2021 11:38 AM PDT I'm reading the holocaust diary of Perechodnik and he recounts how he procured Luminol to act as a poison for his family who are facing certain death. The one sister who dissolves three Luminol tablets in water, he says, "falls asleep quickly". As this chemical interacts with blood. . . I can't see this as being a quick painless death. Is he just being euphemistic? EDIT: So apparently she didn't take enough and actually survived . . . only to then go to Treblinka II. [link] [comments]  |
| Why doesn't air settle into its component gases? Posted: 15 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT As air is composed of several different gases each with a different density, why doesn't air settle into layers of different gas? I understand winds mix them, but I would've thought over a long time they would settle out somewhat [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 May 2021 07:50 AM PDT Is science clearly telling the differences between the benefits of Vitamin D, sunshine exposure (I read there are benefits of infrared light exposure too for example) and outdoor activity ? What are the benefits of Vitamin D that can be clearly distinguished from the benefits of sunshine exposure and outdoor activity ? What are the benefits that are associated with Vitamin D but that can't be clearly distinguished from the benefits of sunshine exposure or outdoor activity ? Do we know or can we guesstimate the amount of Vitamin D supplementation required for a person that can't get any direct sunlight exposure (such as night workers) ? Does the form of Vitamin D supplementation, such as whether it's water or fat soluble matter ? [link] [comments]  |
| Are there any differences between in vitro fertilized and naturally conceived people? Posted: 15 May 2021 11:51 AM PDT As I understand, the sperm is chosen under the microscope by a person, based on the motility, look. I am interested if there are any differences between group of people, that were IVF and the control group? Those can be any kind of differences, like athleticism, intelligence, disease prevalence, mental health. I would be also very thankful for links to the studies. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 May 2021 09:43 AM PDT So this winter there was a lot of snow in my country and i was expecting to see less insects than other years. But there was the same ammount of insects, and even more than in other years. And i'm wondering how did they manage to survive the 50cm layer of snow we had this year [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 May 2021 11:29 AM PDT I understand that there exists, to some level, "assistance/alleviation" for certain things, but in a world with nearly everything processed/pre-packaged/canned (sulfites), where mostly everyone is caffeine-addicted, I feel like the biopharma industry really isn't pushing a solution like they do with lactase pills.

| Why does hyperkalemia cause depolarisation of resting membrane potential? Posted: 15 May 2021 08:42 AM PDT I've struggled to understand why this is, as in my head increases in extracellular positive ions should cause a hyperpolarisation. Any help (hopefully in 5 year old language) would help. [link] [comments]  |
| How much matter actually participates in fission during a nuclear explosion? Posted: 15 May 2021 04:39 PM PDT Say you drop a nuclear bomb. At the moment of detonation is just material in the bomb itself what participates in the fission process and the rest of the explosion is created by the energy released or does the reaction spread outward and to what area?

| When you talk about sleep waves, what are you actually talking about? Posted: 15 May 2021 03:01 AM PDT When you check this up online, these are the type of answers that are available - "The theta waves characteristic of Stage Two sleep are interrupted by occasional series of high-frequency waves known as sleep spindles. These bursts of activity have a frequency of eight to fourteen Hz and an amplitude of 50 to 150 µV. Sleep spindles generally last one to two seconds." Can I know how and where is this frequency is produced? How does the electrical/mechanical magic relate with the experience we have ? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 May 2021 06:37 AM PDT As we all know different parts of the brain perform different functions, and size (and folds which to me cooresponds with surface area) matter when it comes to the capability of a brain, so I am wondering if all the different parts come in a standard size or do they differ from person to person?

| Posted: 15 May 2021 01:55 AM PDT It seems to be a recurrent science media news story that dogs can smell people in early stages of disease. However, do dogs actually ever get used in this way in a practical setting? Will they ever be used? Is it even useful to know that dogs can smell these things? [link] [comments]  |
| What causes rapid temperature change on a day to day basis? Posted: 15 May 2021 09:56 AM PDT Where I live it has been around 80 degrees Fahrenheit and then one day it goes to being low 60s possibly even in the 50s. What causes the random cold day in summer? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the countercurrent exchange in kidneys? Posted: 15 May 2021 05:18 AM PDT If the blood entering and leaving has almost the same osmolarity, then what is the purpose of this exchange? To maintain the gradient,but I mean it is absorbing then secreting the same amount of water and solutes so what is the purpose and why does it have to be opposite to the fluid flow.
