''Recomendation of Plants grow better with sunlight than artificial light''?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Natural sunlight should be the first choice. Indoor houseplants will almost always benefit from indirect light. Flowering plants need bright indirect or direct sunlight while flowering. In a windowless environment, florescent lighting is a satisfactory substitute for natural light. Or, there are many types of grow lights available from nurseries and landscape facilities. Mercury vapor lighting is the worse lighting for plants. However, that is not very common in today's offices.

How does pasturisation work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pasteurisation is a procedure developed by Louis Pateur in order to destroy microorganisms by employing 60 degree celsius for a period of 1-2 minutes. The main aim of the procedure is not to kill all the microorganism but to curtail the growth and maintain it at a particular level. It is more a static procedure than a cidal procedure.

Who were the early pioneers in vaccinations?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some well-known pioneers:

  1. Louis Pasteur

    Pasteur wrote "the germs of microscopic organisms abound in the surface of all objects, in the air and in water." He figured out these microorganisms could be killed by heating liquid (55 C/130 F) for short periods of time, which is known as pasteurization, i.e., used for milk. With his work in microbiology, He showed that diseases (like rabies) could be prevented by vaccination (a term created by Pasteur!), that is, injecting an organism with weakened forms of the disease, thus opening up the field of Immunology.

  2. Edward Jenner

    Jenner observed that for some odd reason milkmaids did not get smallpox. He speculated that the pus in the blisters they got from cowpox (they were around cows all day) protected them from smallpox.

    In 1796, Jenner tested his theory: He inoculated a young boy with the pus from cowpox blisters (he extracted from the hand of a milkmaid who had caught cowpox from a cow) and lo and behold! There we have our first smallpox vaccination!

Asked by Wiki User

Since "burn" doesn't appear anywhere in the list of elements, I am assuming the answer you're looking for is "tan". With that being said, there are 2 options for you. Titanium or Tantalum. These are the only two elements that contain "tan". Hope this helps.

How Edward Jenner found vaccination?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Observation and deductive reasoning. Smallpox was a scourge during Jenner's time, but he noticed that milkmaids contracted a very mild illness similar to smallpox called "cowpox", from which they recovered easily. He postulated that a tiny bit of the cowpox serum could be injected into a well person, and the mild cowpox might protect them from the deadly smallpox. It worked.

What colour is the brain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, I learned in Science Class that your brain is used to the color, which the only way to see the color, is how the light reflects on it. If you try an experiment, like this.

Put on a shirt, (Black is good) with some lettering. (white is good too!)

Look in the mirror, and turn off the lights. After a few seconds, the light comes back becasue your brain is telling you that it is that color. Weird huh??
