Biologically‚ there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly empty of humor‚ we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury‚ for unlike any other social process‚ laughter does seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divided world‚ laughter is a unifying force. First of all‚ laughter is not the same as humor. Laughter is the physiological response to humor. Laughter consists of two parts -- a set of gestures

WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? The greenhouse effect‚ by definition is the process by which the atmosphere is assailed by an excess of carbon dioxide. What happens is that carbon dioxide released in large quantities by industry collects at the lower part of the earth ’s upper atmosphere. Because of this‚ part of the heat that is reflected from the earth is absorbed by this carbon dioxide and returned to the earth as heat. This shield‚ so to speak‚ lets the sunlight through to the

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are two processes that occur in a cell. Cellular respiration coverts glucose and oxygen into ATP and its byproducts‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ are what cause photosynthesis to occur which is then converted into glucose and ATP and then release oxygen. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The glucose for cellular respiration is first split in the cytoplasm during the process glycolysis then the Kreb’s

When we talk of Science and Superstition together it appears as though we are trying to put two opposites together‚ and‚ in doing so putting forth an obviously awkward act. In order to see whether the twosome sounds awkward together and if so how awkward we have to analyze the basic content of both Science and Superstition. On the one hand when Science appeals to reason‚ logic and can be explained‚ Superstition relates to none of these three qualities. The latter in essence is basically a show

As the source of light beam was getting farther away from the slit‚ the beam becomes narrower and shorter in addition to fading. This is because light particles escape more when they travel to go through the slit. B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a surface
