  1. well if you think about it, protists have been around much longer then any dinosaur and look at them, their two cells thick
  2. Would a drawing of the electrolysis of NaF(l) have two Pt electrodes at the anode and cathode? We used carbon in the labs.. How much of a difference does using a Pt electrode have over a carbon one? Also i'm trying to figure out OVERPOTENTIAL, but i don't understand it (i dont think my book explains it very well). For example, the overpotential for the discharge of H2(g) at a mercury cathode is about 1.5V, but if the reduction of Na+ is still 2.71V, why is Na(s) being produced? Or does the Eo of Na+/Na change with the addition of a mercury cathode? Where does the mercury play a part in these transformations??
  3. Actually the oldest and largest animal on earth is the honey mushroom. That'll amaze your teacher
  4. Im not sure but i dont think theres very many in the human body.. The tailbone and the appendix is probably about it.. I know whale finger-bones in its fin is a vestigal structure
  5. I read your study and another one where cats were given eyepatches for two weeks when birthed.. Well after the eyepatch was removed, the cat had little or no vision in that eye, but spectacular vision in the other one. The patched eye 'circuitry' got linked up with the other eye. Most Children who had labotomy's developed into normal adults, with the one half of the brain working for the both sides. Most adults, however, became fried after them. So yes, I believe the brain is extremly malleable, but mostly only to a certain age. That's why most of us can't remember our childhood very clearly, our brains were being 'manufactured.' This is all in a book i read, "The mind and the Brain." Good book, but a bit to detailed in the vocabulary.
  6. Haha lol im doing honors in Biochemistry AND chemistry...The iR0ny...
  7. after you workout your glycogen and blood sugar is gone, your on empty. in order to drive nutrients to your muscle you must spike your insulin with a HI GI carb, such as dextrose. IF you do not spike your insulin as such and just take a protein shake, the majoirty if not all of the shake will goto replacing glycogen and not entering your muscle.
  8. Table sugar isn't dextrose, its sucrose. Dextrose is the good stuff for after a workout .. Have you ever seen a smartie burn? And people wonder why they "burn out" after eating something sugary
  9. http://www.formerfatguy.com/articles/124reasons-no-sugar.asp Don't forget about them rock n roll butterflys, they are hardcore!
  10. What is the purpose of your post? Proving that magnetism is related to charge? I see this stuff enough in class!
  11. Im aiming for a medicine career myself. But to even go into a science major you need (in my university) to take physics, calculus, chem, english... All the nasty stuff. But dont worry its not that hard! If i can pull it off with none to little math/physics background then so can you!
  12. Yes your right haha sorry, i forgot about the HCL as I was writing what i said. (that and ive got a lot of buffer calculations recently punched into my brain.)
  13. Well the thing is, the reaction IS an ionic reaction. However you must take it one step further. The Flourine from the dissociated NaF will react with H20 as follows: F- (aq) + H20(l) <--> HF(aq) + OH-(aq)
