    But evolution is not a process of increasing complexity, nor any other measure of superiority you can find.

    the humble and dull-looking lymphocytes turned out to be at the heart of the system. Not only that, there are three distinct flavours of lymphocyte: the B-cells make antibodies, the T-cells identify foreign agents in our bodies and the natural killer cells seek out and destroy our own cells that have become infected with viruses.

    It’s called the lock and key model

    Химическая система "замка и ключа": наши химические рецепторы воспринимают не всю молекулу вещества, а только определенный набор атомов, который остаётся одинаковым из одного вида молекул к другому

    multi-point attachment theory, developed by biologists at the University of Lyon in France. In this theory, the sweetness receptor on the tongue detects not one big structural region but up to eight, smaller and spaced-apart areas – it looks like a molecule doesn’t need to contain all eight regions to register as sweet. It’s not so much a lock and key model as a sack full of locks and a key ring crammed with tiny keys.

    Некоторые сахорозаменители имеют в составе другие атомы и не подходят под наши "замки", однако мы все равно распознаем их как сладость. Возможно, у наши рецепторы воспринимают не только состав сахарозы, как сладость, но и другие более маленькие части молекул

    То есть сода в выпечке при воздействии кислоты превращается в угольную кислоту, которая потом разбивается на воду и углекислый газ. От этого газа выпечка наполняется пузырями и становится пышной и мягкой, "воздушной"
