In the anaerobic organisms: Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria use the energy of sunlight to drive photosynthesis, a process where the energy of light is used to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide. Because they are aquatic organisms, they typically employ several strategies which are collectively known as a "carbon concentrating mechanism" to aid in the acquisition of inorganic carbon (CO2 or bicarbonate).
Photoautotrophic, oxygen-producing cyanobacteria created the conditions in the planet's early atmosphere that directed the evolution of aerobic metabolism and eukaryotic photosynthesis. Within this evolutionary context, it is noteworthy that, as far as we can tell, oxygenic photosynthesis only evolved once (in prokaryotic cyanobacteria), and all photosynthetic eukaryotes (including all plants and algae) have acquired this ability from them.

Cyanobacteria possess numerous E. coli-like DNA repair genes. Several DNA repair genes are highly conserved in cyanobacteria, even in small genomes, suggesting that core DNA repair processes such as recombinational repair, nucleotide excision repair and methyl-directed DNA mismatch repair are common among cyanobacteria.

bismuth is a slightly radioactive metal, but its half-life is longer than the estimated age of the universe. since its half-life is so ridiculously long, it's considered stable despite being radioactive!


same question!

Easiest thing to explain is, blinking of an eye; though, I'm not going to go into detail about said explanation.



How do you deal with people whom are willfully ignorant about many things in life as a whole?

Have you even been in a cornfield or hedge maze?

It's been a few years since I have visited such a place.

What would you say to a parent who is lenient towards his/her children?

in general nothing, they don't like it
but (supernanny) i was a bit surprised by the mean behavior of a girl that i saw, i know the parents,
some years ago already, the girl thought it was funny to slap me repeatedly, at a gathering at their house, it was stupidly uncomfortable and deja vu, but the parents were ok with that,
that behaviour wasn't turned around for better yet,
but im not supernanny, so what can you say?

depends on what behaviors the parents countenanced in their children. if it was physical, mental or psychological/psychic violence, i would avoid those parents and their psycho children.

chose one-
automatic transmission
or
manual

It means "Voluptuous" -- someone (usually a woman) whose slightly-excessive body fat is distributed in a visually attractive way.  Also known as "Pleasingly Plump".

What would your life would have been like if you had been an abandoned orphan?
