Nov 7th, 2019 : Frozen Fishcicles
I remember seeing this picture back in 2015 or '16 but only guessed how it happened.
The US Fish & Wildlife Service dug it up and recently posted it in a “Caption Call” contest online. http://cellar.org/img/fishcicle1.jpg Quote:

Fishcicles happen here also. I'll take a picture in the spring.

That first picture is what they'd probably look like in water on the International Space Station.
|
Shit, I just noticed I posted the wrong picture in the 2nd spot. :facepalm:

Goddamn drunk thread should be pinned to the fucking top

Having said THAT...
I FORGET what the fuck I was going to say. |
Fuckin computers
|
Is that saying that plants do not turn carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis? Did I miss something? I thought that's what they taught us at school?
|
The plants need sunlight to do that. And all the snow and ice blocks the sunlight.
|
The plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis but obtains the oxygen from water while the carbon dioxide is converted to carbohydrates. A tree will take carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground to feed photosynthesis.
|
So... if I had a plant in water in a sealed container, with no carbon dioxide in the container's air but some magic method of injecting carbohydrates into the plant so it didn't need to create its own... it would still make oxygen?
|
No, it would live feeding on the carbohydrates but no photosynthesis without carbon dioxide and water.
You can live with IV nutrients but no pleasure without burger and fries. ;) |
