But remember that the urge to urinate is triggered when the bladder contains about 100 to 200 mls , much lower than full capacity. As the bladder fills with fluid, receptors in the bladder wall get stretched.
- Do you know a woman has approximately 4.5 liters of blood in her body, while men have 5.6 liters?
- Your blood takes a very long trip through your body. If you could stretch out all of a human's blood vessels, they would be about 60,000 miles long. That's enough to go around the world twice.
- Did you know that, our heart (which is one of the main muscles ) is so powerful that it can squirt the blood no less than 9 meters high?

ROSE
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.
Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in
colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are
native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America,
and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids
are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose
plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can
reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and
this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan. | Rose | |

STOMATA PORES
Function
The gas exchange that occurs when stomata are open facilitates photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into usable energy. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere through the stomata and oxygen is released as a waste product. Both photosynthesis and the gas exchange that powers it are essential to the plant's survival.An unfortunate side effect of the stomata opening is that it allows for water loss. Unlike you and me, plants do not need to sweat to cool off and prefer to keep their water inside; however, because the gas exchange of photosynthesis is so vital, some water loss through stomata is necessary. This process of plant water loss is called transpiration.
Although transpiration cannot be avoided, plants can minimize their water loss by controlling how wide their stomata are open, as well as what time of day they are open. Opening stomata when the surrounding air is more humid means that less water will evaporate from the plant leaves, but opening them when temperatures are warmer means more evaporation will occur. Likewise, if a plant is already dehydrated, it may close its stomata to prevent further water loss.
Structure
A stoma is the opening on a plant leaf, but there are specialized cells surrounding each stoma that control how open or closed it is. These specialized cells are called guard cells, and they are triggered by a number of factors, such as sunlight, humidity, temperature, and internal plant chemistry.RHINOSOURS

DNA ................ YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT DNA.............
or deoxyribonucleic acid codes for your genetic make-up. There are
lots of facts about DNA, but here are 10 that are particularly
interesting, important, or fun.
Even though it codes for all the information that makes up an
organism, DNA is built using only four building blocks, the nucleotides
adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
- Every human being shares 99% of their DNA with every other human.
- If you put all the DNA molecules in your body end to end, the
DNA would reach from the Earth to the Sun and back over 600 times (100
trillion times six feet divided by 92 million miles).
- A parent and child share 99.5% of the same DNA.
- You have 98% of your DNA in common with a chimpanzee
- DNA is a fragile molecule. About a thousand times a day, something
happens to it to cause errors. This could include errors during
transcription, damage from ultraviolet light, or any of a host of other
activities. There are many repair mechanisms, but some damage isn't
repaired. This means you carry mutations! Some of the mutations cause no
harm, a few are helpful, while others can cause diseases, such as
cancer.
- Scientists at Cambridge University believe humans have DNA in common
with the mud worm and that it is the closest invertebrate genetic
relative to us. In other words, you have more in common, genetically
speaking, with a mud worm than you do with a spider or octopus or
cockroach.
- Humans and cabbage share about
- If you could type 60 words per minute, eight hours a day, it would take approximately 50 years to type the human genome.
- Friedrich Miescher discovered DNA in 1869, although scientists did not understand DNA was the genetic material in cells until 1943. Prior to that time, it was widely believe that proteins stored genetic information.
