General Science Questions

Stars twinkle because they’re so far away from Earth that when light from the stars passes through the atmosphere, it is bent countless times due to refraction, making it look like as if they were blinking. The sun and other planets doesn’t twinkle because it’s too close to Earth compared to other stars.

Triglycerides are the primary form of dietary fat found in the body, and may contain a combination of three fatty acids:

saturated fatty acids (SFAs),

polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), or

monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs).

The given statement that a calorie is another term for carbohydrate is False.

Carbohydrates are one of the main types of nutrients, and are most important source of energy.

Where as Calorie is a measurement of how much heat energy is generated by the body processing food.

Your digestive system changes carbohydrates into glucose(blood sugar). Your body uses this sugar for energy. 

Energy is measured in units called Joules.

Joule is unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI) which is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre.

1 Joule  =  10⁷ ergs or 0.7377 foot-pounds.

In the body, the fat stored can be served as a cushions or insulation which protects the vital organs in the body from the external damage in the environment.

Environmental science is a field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. This emerged from the fields of natural history and medicine during the Enlightenment.

In brief, it is a scientific study of the natural world and how it is influenced by people.
