Advantages of Science

STATUE OF UNITY

Sure, numbers don’t lie but just numbers didn’t really give us an idea about how big the Statue of Unity really is. To understand their true meaning we had to feel them. We knew that the Statue of Unity, standing at 182 metres is now the world’s tallest statue. But not until we stood next to it, dwarfed even by the feet of the Iron Man of India, did we grasp the full enormity of this statue.

Hydroelectric plant

Another conventional source of energy is the kinetic energy of flowing water or the state energy of water at a height. In a hydro power plant, the potential energy of the falling water is converted into electrical energy. Which can be used as a source of static energy. Since the number of such water-falls is very low, hydro power plants have been associated with dams. Many dams have been built around the world in the last century. A quarter of our energy demand is supplied by hydro power plants. High dams are built on the river to collect water in large reservoirs by blocking the flow of water to generate hydroelectricity. The water level rises and in this process the kinetic energy of the flowing water is carried through the energy to the turbine at the bottom of the dam through pipes. Every time the reservoir is replenished with water due to rain (hydroelectricity is a recoverable source) Thus, we do not have to worry about the ...

HORMONES IN ANIMALS

How are chemicals or stimuli used in animals as a serpent of instruction? Take some animals like squirrels. What does he experience when he is in a hostile situation? He prepares his body to fight or to flee. Both are very complex tasks that require a lot of energy to control. Many different types of different tissues are used and their aggregated (aggregated) functions come together to function. Like fighting or running, two alternating actions are very different from each other. Thus, here is a condition in which some common preparations are beneficial to the body. These preparations ideally facilitate any action in the near future. How can all this happen? If the squirrel's anatomy is based solely on electrical impulses through the neurons, the scope of the tissue ready to perform the next action will be limited. On the other hand, if even a chemical signal could be sent, it could reach all the cells of the body...
