Why does a bee die when it stings?

If you have ever been bitten by a bee, you know how painful it is. Did you feel very sorry for yourself? Well, you should actually feel sorry for the bee, because as soon as it stung you, it died! A bee attacks by driving its stinger deep into the enemy's flesh. But once the stinger is in, the bee cannot pull it out. In trying to do so, the stinger is torn from its body, leaving the poor bee dying. So in effect, the bee gives its life to attack the enemy. When humans do that, we call them heroes!
 
Is chocolate bad for dogs?

Chocolate is poisonous to dogs; however, the hazard of chocolate to your dog depends on the type of chocolate, the amount consumed and your dog's size. In large enough amounts, chocolate and cocoa products can kill your dog.

- The toxic component of chocolate is theobromine. Humans easily metabolize theobromine, but dogs process it much more slowly, allowing it to build up to toxic levels in their system.
- A large dog can consume more chocolate than a small dog before suffering ill effects.
- A small amount of chocolate will probably only give your dog an upset stomach with vomiting or diarrhea.
- With large amounts, theobromine can produce muscle tremors, seizures, an irregular heartbeat, internal bleeding or a heart attack. The onset of theobromine poisoning is usually marked by severe hyperactivity.

The usual treatment for theobromine poisoning is to induce vomiting within two hours of ingestion. If you are worried or suspect that your dog may have eaten a large quantity of chocolate and they are showing any of the signs listed above, call your veterinarian immediately.
 
Why are fruit flies important to scientists?

If you have been seeing small flies or gnats in your kitchen, they are probably fruit flies. Fruit flies can be a problem because they are attracted to ripened or fermenting fruits and vegetables. Scientists use fruit flies for research. In fact, major discoveries in genetics -that genes are aligned on chromosomes and that chromosomes determine gender- have come from fruit fly.
To scientists, fruit flies are ideal subjects because they have a short life cycle and breed rapidly. Since they reproduce quickly, many generations can be studied in short time.
 
How Do Mobile Phones work ?

When you call someone using mobile phone, it converts your voice into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted as radio waves and converted back into sound by receiver's mobile.

Now, in order to remain portable, mobile phones need to have relatively compact antennas and use a small amount of power. This means that mobile phones can send a signal over only a very short range.
However it is cellular network which enables you to spread these signals by dividing up land into hexagonal areas. These areas pick up the weak signal from your phone and relay it onwards to another hexagon. And if you’re on the move while you talk, your phone switches hexagon as you go without interrupting your call.
 
Why was the earthquake in China in 1556 considered the greatest natural disaster in history?

Do you know what an earthquake feels like? The ground rumbles and trembles, hanging lamps begin to sway back and forth, shelves begin to rattle or spill their contents, and the floor and walls shake! But the earthquake in 1556 in the Shensi Province of China, which killed about 8,00,000 people, was one of the greatest natural disasters in history. The earthquake happened at night. Thousands of people died, and fires raged through the ruins. Many people in Shensi lived in caves that were hollowed out of the soft cliffs. The cliffs caved in, burying them, while landslides and floods carried away thousands of others. The destruction spanned an area of 800 kms, and in some provinces, the average death toll was 60 percent of the population.
