  • Can two glucose molecules have different amounts of energy?

    Doing an experiment on plants grown with different amounts of light and using calorimetry to collect data. Is it possible they'll have different amounts of energy?

  • What would be a good history paper topic?

    I have to write a 4-5 page thesis, research paper arguing something post 1914 that is not centered in the United States. This is for my World History II Honors class. I probably want to do something to do with science, but I don't know what I can argue.

    I was wondering if anyone in the botany section could quickly identify this, presumably, plant? Thanks!?

    Common names or scientific names would be fine. I live in Massachusetts, so New England.

    Thanks so much!

  • How do atoms even balance their charges (neutral)?

    So, atoms' charges balance out in a neutral atom. Such as in an atom of oxygen for example. 8 electrons and 8 protons held together by nuclear and electromagnetic forces. The difference of the proton and the electron is the massive size and mass difference. An electron masses out at about 1/2000th of a proton! They don't even include them in atomic mass!

    How does such a small particle, the electron, negatively charged, balance out the massive particle, the proton, positively charged? Are electrons more heavily charged? Are protons very little charged? I'm confused.

  • Can you tell me if my hypothesis is reasonable?

    I have a hypothesis about gravity. Please correct any of my scientific mistakes.

    We all know matter tugs on each other. Every atom, everywhere. They tug towards each other, as much as they can. There must be some relationship with every atom, right?

    What if the matter/energy tugs on each other because it has been "magnetized," or "gravitized," or something of the sort? All the matter must have been touching in the Big Bang's singularity. What if the matter formed a sort of "relationship" with each other. As we know, protons are positive - electrons are negative. What if positive high massed particles attract other massed particles of the same charge? What if photons, again, a hypothetical "substance" exerts a "charge" of some sort. It transmits light energy.

    Dark matter, as we know it, is a hypothetical substance. It seems to exert a gravitational pull, but is not detectable by normal means. What if it is lone protons, somewhat like hydrogen ions, leftover from a supernova of a hydrogen rich star? The protons could not be discoverable by electromagnetic forces because of their lack of electrons, right? The protons could still pull other protons, according to my above hypothesis, however.

    Dark energy, as we know it, is a hypothetical substance (as well). It seems to exert a push force. What if dark energy is negatively charged protons? These negatively charged protons, antiprotons, could propel oppositely particles such as antiprotons away.
