Onions make guinea pigs eyes sting too, just like it makes ours. The guinea pig is simply keeping its eyes from the sting of the onion.
Put A Onion Near You'r Eyes And It Will Make U Cry Think of something sad Another trick would be to FIRST close your eyes SECOND gently grab your upper and lower eyelashes THIRD gently pull FOURTH this will make your eyes water nicely
Two eyes allow for depth perception. Close or block one eye and attempt to guess how far (or near) and object it from you.
Well you do see when you close your eyes, just that your eyelids block near enough all the light so you cant see yet you can, if that makes sense...
When you cut through an onion you break open a number of the plant cells. These cells contain enzymes, also amino acid sulphoxides. When they escape, these react and decompose to form sulphenic acid, which is a volatile gas. The gas reaches your eyes and reacts with the water in tears producing a weak sulphuric acid, which irritates the eyes. The body's response to the irritation is to produce more tears in an attempt to dilute the irritant and wash it out of the eyes. When this happens, the temptation is to rub your eyes, but as there is probably onion juice on your hands this only makes things worse.
Onion being a monocot plant has fibrous root system
I hadn't heard of this technique, but it makes sense and probably works. You cry when you cut an onion because when you disrupt the cell membrane walls of the onion, you release a gas which causes tears in your eyes. By putting the onion in the freezer, you are probably solidifying this chemical to a certain extent, and preventing the compound from being released. But I think this would probably only work for a certain amount of time before the onion warmed back up, and if you left the onion in the freezer too longer, it probably wouldn't benefit the onion. An alternate technique that Alton Brown has recommended and wouldn't involve any advance steps is lighting a candle near the cutting board, the flame burns off the gases before they reach your eyes.
Close - means: very near (close race) or intimate (close friend)Near - means: closely related (near neighbors) or narrow margin ( a near victory)
to be close by or near
Its always been a sign of disbelief but I think its sort of to close out the world and clear your thoughts for a second.
Yes, Onion smell and taste transfers to almost anything that it touches.
up in south Virginia. you know near that onion factory and the prison.
The convergence reflex helps our eyes move toward each other when focusing on near objects. This reflex allows both eyes to focus on the same point, enabling depth perception and clear vision at close distances.
