Could the science of cryogenics work?

Could the science of cryogenics work? It does work. We apply the ideas of cryogenics, which is the area of knowledge associated with very low temperatures and the affect of this on materials, in many areas of science and industry. And on a daily basis, too. An example is rocket fuels like liquid hydrogen and oxygen. We also use cryogenics to enable the supercooling of materials to create superconducting magnets for use in imaging. Cryogenic gas transport is common. It's easier to move a single tank truck of liquid oxygen rather than a flock of heavy compressed gas cylinders. How do you think local hospitals get the oxygen they use in medical applications? Food packers use cryogenics to quickly cool processed foods to preserve freshness and flavor. Any sincere investigator can easily develop a long list of the things that cryogenics allows us to do.

What is the difference in the function of the proteins attached to a cell membrane?

Protiens have the main function in the cell membranes to transport materials in and out of the cell (because some of the substances are not to cross the lipid bilayer as they are not lipophyllic molecules so they need active or passive transporters to help them to pass through and enter the cellular environment).

So proteins can be as pupms or channels or even ligand binding receptors..

Carbohydrates are used to make the cell ridged and also they are very important to provide the cells with ATP (energy sources.

Which is better to take anatomy or physics if you are interested in the medical field?

Do arm exercises make your arms longer?

There has been some speculation about that. In general, the common wisdom says that you can't do anything to change your height or the length of any long bone, that it's all already programmed when you're born. But the reality is, we're all growing until the "growth disc" closes. The growth disc is the area of our bones, near the ends, where "long" bones actually grow longer. Once the growth disc "closes" or ceases to function, you have reached your maximum height. Growth discs close usually a little after we start puberty.

Can DNA show a person's personality or evil or good in them?

Every individual is the product of two fundamental influences, often described as nature and nurture, or heredity and experience. We are born with certain hereditary potential, but the sum total of our experiences in life will determine whether those potentials will come to pass. And DNA does not make people evil or good; everyone is born with the capability of being either evil or good. However, some people have greater capabilities than others, and that is related to DNA. At the present time, we are just beginning to learn about how DNA works, and we could not examine someones DNA and determine exactly what kind of potential is created by that DNA. But that may become possible in the future, if we learn more about DNA.
