Light speed, or 300,000 kilometers a second, might seem like a speed
limit, but this is just an example of 3 + 1 thinking – where we still
haven’t got our heads around the concept of four dimensional space-time
and hence we think in terms of space having three dimensions and think
of time as something different.
For example, while it seems to us
that it takes a light beam 4.3 years to go from Earth to the Alpha
Centauri system, if you were to hop on a spacecraft going at 99.999 per
cent of the speed of light you would get there in a matter of days,
hours or even minutes – depending on just how many .99s you add on to
that proportion of light speed.
This is because, as you keep
pumping the accelerator of your imaginary star drive system, time
dilation will become increasingly more pronounced and you will keep
getting to your destination that much quicker. With enough .999s you
could cross the universe within your lifetime – even though someone you
left behind would still only see you moving away at a tiny bit less than
300,000 kilometres a second. So, what might seem like a speed limit at
first glance isn’t really a limit at all.
To try and comprehend
the four dimensional perspective on this, consider that it’s impossible
to move across any distance without also moving through time. For
example, walking a kilometer may be a duration of thirty minutes – but
if you run, it might only take fifteen minutes.

A close, long term relationship among two or more species that live and interact together
Answer:
The endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are thus distinguished from other cytoplasmic organelles by their common involvement in protein processing and connection by vesicular transport.
<em>endoplasmic reticulum (ER)</em> (DEFINITION) Organelle in eukaryotic cells that helps make and transport proteins; site of lipid synthesis.
<em>Golgi apparatus</em> (DEFINITION) Organelle in eukaryotic cells that processes proteins and prepares them for use both inside and outside the cell.
Asexual reproduction limits the spread of harmful characteristics because the offspring is only inheriting from one parent.
Just like vitamins, minerals help your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. The body uses minerals to perform many different functions — from building strong bones to transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat. Hope this helps:)
