All Polar bears are left-handed. What is the special genetic factor here?
NO BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE CORNEA
The only part of the human body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air. Is it to protect the sensitive organs behind it from exposure to extreme temperatures, excessive light etc if so why not make a study of the structure and composition of the tissues of this organ and try to produce it artificially?
WHAT IS THE PRESERVATIVE CHEMICAL THAT IS THERE IN HONEY?
Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible. THEN WHAT IS THE PRESERVATIVE CHEMICAL THAT IS THERE IN IT?
OME SPECIAL BIO CHEMICAL IN COCKROACHE'S BODY?
Cockroaches are some of the hardiest insects on the planet. They can survive without food for a month, and can live without their heads for up to a week. They can hold their breath for 45 minutes, and they have a very high resistance to radiation. And they make group decisions. They also have survived millions of years. THEN THERE MUST BE SOME SPECIAL BIO CHEMICAL IN ITS BODY? WHY NOT STUDY THAT PROBABLY THAT MAY HELP US FIGHT AGAINST MANY OF OUR IMMUNE PROBLEMS?
OLFACTORY CELLS
Though human noses have an impressive 5 million olfactory cells with which to smell, sheepdogs have 220 million, enabling them to smell 44 times better than man. IS IT ONLY THE NUMBER OF CELLS OR THE CHEMICALS IN THEM?
SENSITIVITY TO EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD AND NOT TEMPERATURE. WE MUST FIND OUT WHAT IT IS?
There are no penguins at the North Pole. In fact, there are no penguins anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere (outside of zoos). All 17 varieties of the bird are found below the equator, primarily in the Antarctica. THEN IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH ITS SENSITIVITY TO EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD AND NOT TEMPERATURE. WE MUST FIND OUT WHAT IT IS?
glue of a barnacle
The glue of a barnacle cannot be dissolved with strong acids or temperatures set as high as 440 degrees Fahrenheit.
THEN WHY NOT STUDY THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE GLUE AND USE IT AS A PROTECTIVE COATING N MANY EQUIPMENTS?
SPIDER SILK THE WONDER MATERIAL
Spider silk is an extremely strong material and its on-weight basis has been proven to be stronger than steel. Experts suggest that a pencil-thick strand of silk could stop a Boeing 747 in flight.
THEN WHY NOT STUDY ITS CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND TRY PRODUCING IT ARTIFICIALLY SO THAT WE CAN COME OUT WITH A VERY STRONG MATERIAL WHICH CAN BE USED EVEN AS FOR BULLET PROOF JACKET OR TENT ?
THEN WHAT IS THE PRESERVATIVE IN THE BODY OF COW CAN WE USE IT TO STORE MILK?
Milk delivered to the store today was in the cow two days ago. THEN WHAT IS THE PRESERVATIVE IN THE BODY OF COW CAN WE USE IT TO STORE MILK?
CAN WE TRY EXTRACTING ORGANIC ELECTRICITY BY STUDYING THE CHEMICALS IN ITS BODY CELLS THAT PRODUCE THAT ELECTRICITY?
The electric eel is the most shocking animal on Earth — no other animal packs such a big charge. If attacking a large prey, a 9-foot-long eel can discharge about 800 volts. One zap could stun a human. The larger the eel, the bigger the charge. The electric eel has thousands of electric cells running up and down its tail. Vital body organs, such as the heart, are packed into a small space behind the head. They use their electric sense to "see." Their electric sensors act like radar. They send out weak impulses which bounce off objects.
CAN WE TRY EXTRACTING ORGANIC ELECTRICITY BY STUDYING THE CHEMICALS IN ITS BODY CELLS THAT PRODUCE THAT ELECTRICITY?
IS BONE THEN THE CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTOR TO ALL CANCERS? IF SO, WHAT CHEMICAL IN BONE IS THE CULPRIT?
Sharks and rays are the only animals known to man that cannot succumb to cancer. Scientists believe this is related to the fact that they have no bone — only cartilage. THIS PRESUMPTION IS WRONG BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER ANIMALS THAT DO NOT HAVE BONE BUT HAVE CANCER.IS BONE THEN THE CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTOR TO ALL CANCERS? IF SO, WHAT CHEMICAL IN BONE IS THE CULPRIT?
CAN BLUBBER BE ARTIFICIALLY PRODUCED SO THAT BLUBBER BASED PRODUCTS CAN PROTECT AGAINST COLD WEATHER CONDTIONS AND LOT OF ENERGY USED FOR HEATING EQUI
Seals and whales keep warm in the icy polar water thanks to a layer of fat called blubber under their skin. Whale blubber can reach up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) thick. CAN BLUBBER BE ARTIFICIALLY PRODUCED SO THAT BLUBBER BASED PRODUCTS CAN PROTECT AGAINST COLD WEATHER CONDTIONS AND LOT OF ENERGY USED FOR HEATING EQUIPMENTS CAN BESAVED?
NATURAL CHEMICAL DESALINATION
Seabirds have salt-excreting organs above their eyes which enable them to drink salty water; sea snakes have a similar filter at the base of their tongue.
The albatross drinks sea water. It has a special desalinization apparatus that strains out and excretes all excess salt.
THERE MUST BE A BIO CHEMICAL EXCRETION PROCESS AND NOT A MERE FILTERING STRUCTURE TO EXCRETE SALT . SO WHAT IS THAT /ARE THOSE BIO CHEMICAL/S OR CHEMICAL /S THAT HELP THIS PROCESS PROBABLY THAT CAN HELP HEART PATIENTS?
new set of teeth every two weeks
Lemon sharks grow a new set of teeth every two weeks. They grow more than 24,000 new teeth every year. WHAT CAUSES THIS?
WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL BIO CHEMICALS IN ITS BODY THAT ENABLES THEM TO WITHSTAND SUCH LOW TEMPERATURES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THICK FUR?
Red bats that live in tree foliage throughout most of North America can withstand body temperatures as low as 23 degrees F during winter hibernation. WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL BIO CHEMICALS IN ITS BODY THAT ENABLES THEM TO
WITHSTAND SUCH LOW TEMPERATURES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THICK FUR?
WHAT IS THE SECRET OF ITS LONGIVITY?
It can take a deep-sea clam up to 100 years to reach 0.3 inches (8 millimeters) in length. The clam is among the slowest growing, yet longest living species on the planet. WHAT IS THE SECRET OF ITS LONGIVITY?
THEN SHOULDN’T HUMAN BEIINGS BE MORE CAREFUL ABOUT CONSUMING COPPER CONTAINING EDIBLE ITEMS AND MEDICINES?
Despite its great strength, the octopus tires easily. The oxygen-carrying component of its blood, hemocyanin, is copper-based and is less efficient than the iron-based hemoglobin of humans. Therefore, a struggling octopus will quickly go into oxygen deprivation, and becomes lethargic. THEN SHOULDN’T HUMAN BEIINGS BE MORE CAREFUL ABOUT CONSUMING COPPER CONTAINING EDIBLE ITEMS AND MEDICINES?
Can their blood contain chemicals which can be safely used as sleeping pill?
Armadillos get an average of 18.5 hours of sleep per day. Can their blood contain chemicals which can be safely used as sleeping pill?
Armadillos and how?
Armadillos have four babies at a time, always all the same sex. They are perfect quadruplets, the fertilized cell split into quarters, resulting in four identical armadillos. How?
The placement of a donkey's eyes in its heads enables it to see all four feet at all times
The placement of a donkey's eyes in its heads enables it to see all four feet at all times. Is it the geometrics or the optic nerves or the quality of lens that blesses the donkey because some people with big belly are not able to see even their knees?
CAN WE MANIPULATE COLOURS IF WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE GENETIC LINK BETTER?
Chickens that lay brown eggs have red ear lobes. There is a genetic link between the two. Brown eggs come from hens with red feathers and red ear lobes; white eggs come from hens with white feathers and white ear lobes. Shell color is determined by the breed of hen and has no effect on its quality, nutrients or flavor.CAN WE MANIPULATE COLOURS IF WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE GENETIC LINK BETTER?
Chickens absorb vitamin-D through their combs from sunshine
Now here I present a list of probable, potential and hitherto unexplored chemical and bio chemical combinations, genetic aspects that can throw some light on utilities to human beings if we can decode those chemicals and bio chemicals and see if we can artificially produce them for some aspects of human life and environment.
1] Chickens absorb vitamin-D through their combs from sunshine
What is the special chemical combination or mechanism that is there in the combs of chicken?
GENETIC LINKS PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN MANY COMMON UNNOTICED THINGS IN LIFE FOR EXAMPLE
GENETIC LINKS PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN MANY COMMON UNNOTICED THINGS IN LIFE FOR EXAMPLE
E] Feet and penis size
Asymmetrical hands in men may indicate low fertility (Note 2) whilst big feet in men may indicate a large penis since the Hox gene which drives the development of limb buds is also responsible for the formation of the penis (Note 4).
Note 1: Most of these findings relate to the work of John Manning of the University of Liverpool and his paper published in the journal Medical Hypotheses (vol 54, p. 855).
Welcome to the International Year of Chemistry 2011
Welcome to the International Year of Chemistry 2011
Without the whys? Why nots? Whats? And how? Our lives would be unimaginative, dull and passive like inanimate objects.
It is not only in questioning but exploring to seek the answers for these whys? Why nots? Whats? and how? Whatever source they emanate from and in all possible ways, is what educates and emancipates mankind.
In this process of enquiry, we must steer clear of impenetrable jargons, lukewarm sea of half-baked theories, the illusion that life and its meanings and problems can be reduced to some specific strait-jacket dogma, and delusions of fettering axiomatic certitudes like something is said to be so and therefore, it is so; and a whole lot of other such aspects of the culture of escapism, and indifference and lies.
These are indeed magical words. Small children use it to keep their parents talking on and on without end. Unfortunately, it is not only to keep their parents talking but also out of inquisitiveness. Inquisitiveness is what produces a wide range of characters starting from an eavesdropper, a scandal monger or a clandestine voyeur or a gossip giant or a spiritual mediator or a social inventor, etc. So the type of reply a parent gives to a child’s enquiry of a why? Or how? Or what? Or why not?(out of inquisitiveness) will produce such a “deep” impression that, the child’s mind would start using these questions to get a particular expected answer and also produce any of the above referred characters depending upon the parent’s reply.
Very often parents tend to give clever replies like a tourist guide who, when once, a lady asked him “How a row of fine rock formation were piled up”, said “they have been piled up here by the glaciers”. When she anxiously asked him “Where are the glaciers?” he replied “Madam, they have gone back to get some more rocks”. Such replies are often the result of ignorance, half-knowledge or impatience or all of these.
I, for one, would rather like to go to the maximum extent possible to find the answer for all the whys? And why nots? And hows? that arise in me. This year being the international year of chemistry, which includes bio chemistry and genetics , let us ask freely all the whys? And why nots? And try to get the answers for them so that we can enhance our knowledge and explore the possibilities of utilizing the finding too for betterment of human life.
Some of the chemicals, bio chemicals, minerals, cells and tissues of different animals that are already being used for different purposes.
a] Lanolin, an essential ingredient of many expensive cosmetics, is, in its native form, a foul-smelling, waxy, tarlike substance extracted from the fleece of sheep
b] Sea sponges are used in drugs for treating asthma and cancer
c] The enormous livers of basking sharks, which can account for up to one-third of their body weight, produce valuable oil used to lubricate engines and manufacture cosmetics.
d] The first medical use of leeches dates back to approximately 2,500 years ago. The leech's saliva contains a property that acts as an anticoagulant for human blood.
