Why do astronauts eat freeze dried food I space

Biology

zmey [24]3 years ago

Food was cooked, quickly frozen, and then dehydrated in a special vacuum chamber. Freeze-dried food didn't need to be refrigerated and would last a long time. To make most freeze-dried foods, astronauts squeeze water into the food packages and then eat the food after it absorbs the water.

The astronauts  had to eat dried food because they didn't know when their food was going to spoil or when they would get more. Its like living of a weeks worth of  groceries for a few months. It took the station a long time to send food because of all the light years ( how many years it takes light to go through space) it takes to get to the space ship with hungry astronauts.

What is water’s role in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is - Its electrons are used to form NADPH.

On receiving light energy, electrons are expelled from the reaction center of photosystem II. The expelled electrons finally reduces oxidized NADH⁺ to NADH. The oxidized reaction center of photosystem II split water into protons, electrons and oxygen. The electrons released from water reduces oxidized reaction center of photosystem II. Thus, oxidized reaction center of photosystem II gets back its expelled electrons. Therefore, electrons from water forms NADH.

The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels
LuckyWell [14K]
The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels are low.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease which results from mutations of genes for enzymes involved in the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis). <span>Low cortisol production results in rising levels of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) because cortisol usually inhibits ACTH production. This increased ACTH production induces overgrowth (hyperplasia) and overactivity of the steroid-producing cells of the adrenal cortex.</span>
