The boiled kernels remain sweet instead of starchy because the applied heat greatly stops the enzymatic action of the corn kernels. The heat tends to stop the conversion of sugar to starch because when kernels are starchy than sugar, it will spoil easily. High sugar content preserves the corn kernels.

Bones kept in hydrochloric acid becomes soft why?
DanielleElmas [232]

Bones are made up of Calcium Phosphate given by the chemical formula, Ca_{3}(PO_4)_2. When bones are kept in Hydrochloric acid, given by the chemical formula, HCl, they become soft because the calcium compound present in the bones changes its form. The following double displacement reaction takes place when the bones are kept in HCl,

Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} + HCl ---> CaCl_{2} + H_{3}PO_{4}

Calcium chloride is water soluble, and gets washed away. This makes the bone thin and soft.

Hormones can alter the amount of water reabsorbed during urine production, allowing the production of either concentrated or dil
Sedaia [141]

The amount of water reabsorbed during the formation of urine can be changed by hormones, enabling the creation of either concentrated or diluted urine. The duct serves this purpose.

In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), air is delivered and removed by ducts, which are conduits or passageways. Examples of the necessary airflows include supply air, return air, and exhaust air.  As part of the supply air, ducts frequently deliver ventilation air as well. As a result, air ducts are one way to guarantee both thermal comfort and adequate interior air quality. The brain releases a substance called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which makes the kidneys release less water and reduces the volume of urine generated. The body makes less pee when its ADH level is high. A low
