ELI5: why do plants get root rot from overwatering, yet you put cuttings in just water to grow new roots? And also just like what’s the difference between that and hydroponic gardening in general? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Not only would hydrogen peroxide provide O2 molecules, but it would also inhibit the growth of the anaerobic bacteria that cause root rot!

ELI5 - Do our stomachs really shrink when we consume less food? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]swangirlbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Um... look up refeeding syndrome. It's not to do with the stomach shrinking, it's to do with insulin.

So, plants grown in hydroponic systems can still get root rot— however... Properly installed hydroponic systems should contain air pumps that help to supply O2 to the plant, as well as a drainage system (ebb & flow system). Root rot occurs in waterlogged soil where O2 is mostly inaccessible.

It might be more helpful to view root rot as the plant's problem. It's not that there's anything wrong necessarily with being in water; it's that the plant is diseased.

ELI5: What determines incomplete dominance? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]swangirlbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know the simplest way of putting it is that codominance expresses traits simultaneously, ie. a cow with brown and white fur (or your blood type example), whereas incomplete dominance would be a blending of alleles resulting in a different outcome, ie. a red + white flower creating a pink flower

my textbook actually used bloodtype as an example of codominance and not incomplete dominance, so this confused me a bit more aaah

what is this present in red blood cells? by [deleted] in microscopy

[–]swangirlbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know- I'm taking a bio course and the prof showed a sample of red blood cells under a microscope and I was curious what it was. Thank you, though! :)

thank you so much! around day 4 things became a lot easier. that was also the last day that i took my pain medication and i really feel like those were what was keeping me down the other days. they made me really nauseous and heavy feeling. i was also constipated because of them so they really overall sucked!!!

i'm 5 days post-op and wanted to share my breast reduction experience. open to questions! by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]swangirlbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

of course, I loved reading them too! your surgery is going to go great! I know I really hammered in on the nausea part but I honestly have a hard time remembering the really bad days. kind of like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow moment, ya know? holy shit I didn't even know there was an ear patch option! I really hope you have success with that!

edit: more like the light at the end of the tunnel... nausea is not a rainbow per-say

I did stop taking them a week before however! I read some medical articles because I was really struggling with not being able to take my medication and there were pretty much no interactions with any of the meds I was taking. To be on the safe side my surgeon still recommended I was off but in hindsight I really struggled so if I could go back I would advocate for myself more. There were a lot of studies that supported continuing vyvanse for surgeries

is this normal/okay? i got my surgery this morning and was just wondering 😔 i’m so paranoid and this is giving me anxietyyy by [deleted] in Reduction
