National Geographic ¿Por qué se caen las hojas en otoño Por: Redacción Quo Jueves 26 de septiembre de 2013 Te ayudamos a ser experto con esta y más Preguntas Inteligentes. ¿Por qué los árboles pierden sus hojas en otoño? Durante mucho tiempo, la gente pensaba que las hojas de los árboles morían durante la temporada de frío. Pero, en realidad, no es el frío el que afecta a los árboles. De acuerdo con Softpedia, el frío provoca la llamada sequía fisiológica. La función principal de la fotosíntesis es usar agua, dióxido de carbono y luz para generar compuestos orgánicos para alimentarse y oxígeno. De hecho, los árboles que no se desprenden de sus hojas en otoño, como las coníferas, están muy adaptados a la sequía. Sus hojas son muy pequeñas (esto reduce la sudoración superficie y la liberación de agua), además están cubiertos con cera (que impide la pérdida de agua). ¿Por qué las hojas cambian de color en otoño? La clorofila, como el pigmento más abundante, es el que le da el color verde a las hojas en la primavera y el verano.

PLOS - Open For Discovery Microwave Mug Cakes – #4 Banana « Love Swah – A Sydney food, travel and design blog This is the last (but certainly not least) addition to my Microwave Mug Cake series – banana! First we had dark chocolate, then salted caramel, followed by S’mores. I like to refer to this mug cake as “breakfast in a cup” as it combines two of my favourite breakfast items – banana bread and coffee! But I guarantee you will want to eat this any time of day. The banana ensures this cake is super moist and dense, and it’s literally like eating a hybrid banana bread-pudding in a mug! I was about to say it’s a healthier version than cafe-bought banana bread due to the relatively low amounts of butter/sugar/flour, but then I remembered I covered it in ice cream. **Make sure you use a large mug or the mixture can overflow! Microwave Mug Cakes – #3 Banana 1 tbsp butter, melted (or flavourless oil)1 egg (lightly beaten)1 tbsp milk1 ripe banana (mashed)3 tbsp plain flour3 tbsp brown sugar½ tsp baking powder1 scoop of coffee ice cream to serve I hope you enjoyed my Microwave Mug Cakes series!

How do we know what color dinosaurs were? - Len Bloch The dinosaurs were a large group of animals that first appeared in the fossil record about 227 million years ago. Then, about 65 million years ago, most of the dinosaurs went extinct, but one group– the birds– continues to thrive. The era during which the non-avian dinosaurs lived is called the Mesozoic. Feathered dinosaurs have played an important role in the history of science. In more recent years, a number of dinosaur feathers have been discovered, mainly in China. Interested in learning more about feathers?

Science News Apple Cinnamon Mug Cake | the Hungry Hedgehog Microwave mug cake is an awesome idea, but it’s only awesome if it tastes as good as the oven variety. I don’t care how easy or convenient it is, cake isn’t worth making or eating unless its totally delicious and has the perfect spongy but not an actual sponge cake texture. Some people claim they can make a mug cake in under five minutes, but it took me a little bit longer especially since I made frosting too. This recipe still shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes total. Cake cravings, beware! This mug cake is a small (but satisfying!) The cream cheese frosting recipe calls for room temperature cream cheese. Apple Cinnamon Mug Cake Ingredients 3 tablespoons flour 1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon applesauce 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 tablespoon milk 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract icing 1 tablespoon room temp cream cheese 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 teaspoon milk Directions
