If not then you are in the right place. Our blood group is determined based on special kinds of proteins that are present on the surface of red blood cells and in our plasma known as the antigens and the antibodies. If there is A-antigen present on the surface of RBC along with anti-B antibodies in the plasma then the blood type is “A”. If there is B-antigen present on the surface of RBC and anti-A antibodies in the plasma then the blood type is “B”. If there are both the A-antigen and B-antigen present on the surface of RBC and without any antibodies then the blood type is “AB”. And if there is no A OR B antigen present on the surface of RBC then the blood type is “O”. And to determine if the blood type is positive or negative, “RH(rhesus) FACTOR” is used. The RH factor is nothing but again a special kind of protein that is present on the surface of RBC. If this protein is present on the surface of RBC, then the blood group is RHD positive or simply positive else negative....

yes, you read that right. Rabbits, parrots, and chameleons can look at their back without rotating their head.  This is because they have their eyes placed on side of their head through which they have a very viewing field i.e. near about 360 degrees. they can even move their eyes independently by 360 degrees to keep their eyes on predictors. But as they have such a wide view they can't focus properly and can see thus they rotate their eyes continuously.

Your mobile charger costs less than a rupee to charge your mobile phone per day. Yes, indeed, mobile chargers don’t cost you more than 20-30 rupees a year. Here we are talking about the normal 10-watt charger. If you charge your phone for about 2 hrs a day it will just consume 0.020 units or kWh of electricity. And if you charge your phone 2 hours a day for a year it will become 3.65 units which will cost around 25 rupees a year. ( by a unit rate of 3.5 rs/unit, note: these unit rates vary according to consumption).

Did you know ants can become zombies ..!! Yes, you read that right, scientists have found zombie ants in the Brazilian rainforests. This is because of the species of fungus that takes control over the body of ants by infecting them. This fungus starts eating the ants from inside and multiplies itself inside the ant's body and after some when the population of fungus is large enough to infect other ants it causes the ants to leave their colony by sending signals to the brain of ants as it hijacks its brain. Later onwards despite doing normal activities the infected ant finds a suitable ideal place for the fungus to grow, they find a special leaf, then the fungus forces the ant to bite it with a "death grip," which causes the ant to die. Later on, this fungus gets onto the leaf by getting out of the ant's body and starts growing there and producing little seeds like particles known as spores. Which are then ready to infect other ants. If an ant gets in conta...

The world's deadliest animal to humans are mosquitoes, yep you read that right. mosquitoes, the tiny bugs which use to suck blood from humans and other mammals are responsible to carry deadly viruses from maybe mammal to humans or human to human. Nearly 0.7 million to 1 million people die each year only because of mosquitoes, which is the highest of any animal. Even the rate of humans killed by humans is less than the rate of humans killed because of mosquitoes. This is because they carry deadly viruses such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, yellow fever, Zika disease, West Nile disease, etc or even maybe any other diseases or viruses by which any person is affected that can be transferred to another person if the persons are bitten by the same mosquito. But let us tell you that male mosquitoes don’t spread such viruses, as they only feed on plant juices, whereas the female mosquitoes are only responsible for spreading such viruses as they use to suck blood from mammals.

India is the largest producer of mango in the World. During the fiscal year, 2020 India had produced almost 21 million metric tonnes of mangoes. And this rate is increasing year by year. Mango is the national fruit of India. Almost half of the mangoes produced by the whole world are cultivated in India alone. But although India is the largest producer of mangoes, it accounts for less than 1% of the international mango trade only, this is because India consumes most of its production of mangoes. These are the major mango-growing states in India I.E. Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, where Uttar Pradesh (up) is on the top of the list with a production of 23.47 % of the total mangoes cultivated in India. The major exporters of mangoes in the year 2019-20 were UAE, UK, USA, OMAN, QATAR.

cats can hear ultrasonic sounds, yes you heard that right. where a typical human can hear frequencies between 20 to 20,000 Hz ( which can also vary if someone has that gift from nature) cats can hear frequencies ranging between 55 Hz to 79 kHz which is even better than dogs as well as humans. Cat's have a very unique ears design to draw sound into the ear canal, which allows them to hear at such high frequencies. Also, they have extremely sensitive hearing capabilities which are even best in the range of 500 Hz to 32khz. But this is not it, The external visible ear of cats which is known as pinna functions both to catch and amplify the sound up to 2 - 3 times for frequencies in between 2 to 6 kHz. They can even rotate their ear (pinna) forward, backward, and sideways to determine where the sound is coming from. This is possible because cats have almost 32 muscles in their ears by which they can move their ears independently and even rotate them up to 180 degrees. But th...

In space, if two pieces of the same metal come in contact with each other they will permanently fuse. Yes, In space if two pieces of the same metal came in contact with each other they will permanently fuse. This process is called cold welding, caused by atomic diffusion. But on the condition that the two surfaces of similar metal should be perfectly smooth and corrosion-free and must be pressed together with some force. However, On earth, we have an atmosphere that is rich in oxygen, due to which a very small protective layer (corrosion ) is formed on different pieces of the same metal surfaces naturally ( oxidation ) so they don’t stick together. But, in space there is no such atmosphere or oxygen, thus the metal in space doesn't come to know that they are different pieces and get Fused. Due to the absence of the protective layer, The metal molecules don’t come to know that where is the end and where is starting of the metal. Due to which the electrons and atom molecu...

Neptune takes nearly 165 Earth years to make one orbit of the Sun. That’s almost 60,190 earth days. This is because Neptune is the 8th and farthest planet of our solar system, because of which it is having a very large orbit and also a very low orbital velocity of about 5.43 km/s. The distance between the sun and Neptune is about 4.4754 billion km.

Even though the ISS is in space still there is some gravity over there ..!! Do you know how..? This is because the ISS i.e. the international space station revolves (orbits) around the earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers or 250 miles. And at that much altitude, there is about 90% of the earth's gravity as compared to being on the surface. It is orbiting the earth at a speed of about 27,600 kph, by which it orbits the earth about 15.5 times each day. The International Space Station (ISS) is the biggest man-made structure i.e. in space with a massive size i.e. about 239.4 in length and 357.5 in width that is near about the same or a little bit greater than the football field, having a mass of about 419,725 kg.

It snow's on Venus, but metal snow..!!! As we know Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system where the average temperature of the surface is about 472 °C. This temperature is much enough to melt and vaporize metal like lead and bismuth and rise above into the atmosphere of Venus. But the temperature above in the atmosphere of Venus is very low as compared to the surface i.e. ranges from -43 °C to -173 °C.  As we go away from the surface the temperature decreases. So as the metal vaporizes and goes above in the atmosphere of Venus it condenses and gets back to the surface in the form of snow, which then covers the very top of the mountains present on Venus which looks like snow.. but it's metal particles.

A single day on Venus is longer than a year on venus..!! Yes,  a single day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus. Venus takes more time to rotate once in its axis as compared to completing one rotation (orbit) of the sun. Venus takes almost 243 earth days to rotate once around its axis, which is the longest time taken by a planet to complete one rotation in its axis in our solar system, while only ~224.7 earth days to complete one orbit of the sun. it spins very slowly and also spins in the opposite direction as compared to other planets.

Owls can’t move their eyeballs, as they don’t have eyeballs ..! Yes, you read that right. Owls can’t move their eyeballs as they don’t have eyeballs. Instead of eyeballs, they have tube shape eyes that are directly fixed on the bones named sclerotic rings. But in spite they can’t move their eyeballs, they don't have a problem looking around them, as they can rotate their entire head by about 270 degrees in any direction and by about 90 degrees up and down without even moving their shoulder !!! And if you ever have noticed owls, you might have noticed that owls have enormous eyes. By which, they can see objects which are far away from them easily but not those which are closer to them. They can also see clearly at night. And as they have a binocular vision they can focus on any object with very high depth precision as they can focus through both eyes at the same time on the same objects.

Yes, Hummingbirds can fly upside down, forward and backward. This is possible because of their rotator cuff i.e. the special ball socket joint where the wings are joint to the body. with the help of this, they can move their wing by 180 degrees and also in a motion similar to figure eight (8) or infinity (∞). This allows them to fly upside down and forward as well as backward. Their wings can flap at a rate of about 80 beats per second, and their heart rates can reach up to 1,260 beats per minute.
