@Muonium1 3 жыл бұрын

does it? because it fluoresces red on irradiation with blue and violet light, all that high energy light is effectively being reradiated away and wasted when it could have gone into splitting carbon dioxide and water to make more sugar and cellulose. it is not clear to me at all why evolution would have selected for this in plants when presumably a greater efficiency of photosynthesis would allow any plant possessing that capability to grow and reproduce faster and outcompete other species in its local environmental niche. seems more like an accident if anything to me, a historical contingency that's hard to evolve out of like the blood vessels of the eye being in FRONT of the retina in us rather than behind it where they should be like in invertebrates.

Now THIS is the stuff I love to learn about. I used to be fascinated with Black Light UV and fluorescent paint. I would sit and paint amazing trippy paintings for hours under the UV tube that could only be appreciated while viewed with a UV tube as in normal light the detail was lost. Anyways I'm surprised you didn't use the Monster "Ultra Violet" and "Ultra Blue" drinks in this experiment as it be quite fitting. Plus they taste really good and have a beautiful colour.

In the US there is an energy drink called Rockstar. I used to drink it all the time. One side effect was that it would turn my pee Bright fluorescent yellow. It is the only energy drink that did this. None of the other ones did. I always wondered if this happened to other people, but I'm not usually in the habit of talking to other people about their pee, so IDK.

Fun fact: We are know the reason why the vinegar was more effective at 4:12 to dissolve the vitamin b into solution, but do you know why the rate was different in water and ethanol? This is because water has some hydronium ions, H3O+ which are very weak acids and hence dissolve the vitamin b albeit at a slower rate. And in the case of ethanol, its not pure and hence is hydrated so also contains H3O+ ions but at an even smaller amount than the water also the second time when the curry was dissolved, im not sure what it exactly is but its a non-polar solvent as it didn't dissolve in the water(polar solvent). This is because like dissolved like, as alcohol is a non-polar organic solvent
