Interesting Biology
facts to know !
About Eye
- Our eyes actually capture all the images we see upside down in retina. Our brain processes those images and flips to show us the corrected image. So we also have in-built image rotator in us !
- Our eyes can process upto 36,000 bits of information in an hour !
About Brain
- Human brain generates electrical power enough to light up a bulb !
- A human brain has storage upto 1,00,000 GB. It also have over 100 billions neurons and trillions of neural connections !
About Heart
- Our heart has it's own electrical systems to pump independently without the need of brain !
- Human heart pumps around 7,570 liters of blood throughout the body each day, beating about 100,000 times.
About Gene
- The average human body contains approximately 37.2 trillion cells. The length of DNA in a cell is about 2 meters. The total length of DNA in one person would stretch to about 74 trillion meters. This is equivalent to nearly 500 times the distance from Earth to the Sun.
- There are 4 types of Nitrogen bases in our gene.
- Adenine(A)
- Thiamin(T)
- Guanine(G)
- Cytocin(C)
If you read one base pair per second, it would take approximately 95 years to read the entire human genome without taking any breaks.
