complex brain.(12)it to an array of electrical pulses;cells in plants also communicate through electrical signals.(13),the signaling in a plant is only (14)similar to the firing in a complex animal brain,which is more than a mass of cells that communicate by electricity.Taiz said For consciousness to evolve,a brain with a threshold (15)of complexity and capacity is required,he (16)Since plants dont have nervous systems,the (17)that they have consciousness are effectively zero.And whats so great about consciousness,anyway?Plants cant run away from(18).so investing energy in a body system

planet,from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench,because plastics are everywhere and dont break down easily.But some plastic materials change over time.They crack and frizzle.They weepout additives.They melt into sludge.All of which creates huge headaches for institutions,such as museums,trying to preserve culturally important objects.The variety of plastic objects at risk is dizzying:early radios,avant-garde sculptures,celluloid animation stills from Disney films,the first artificial heart.Certain artifacts are especially vulnerable because some pioneers in plastic art didnt always know how to mix ingredients properly,says Thea van Oosten,a polymer chemist who,until retiring a few years ago,worked for decades at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands.欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档!It s like baking a cake:If you dont have exact amounts,it goes wrong,she says.The object you make is already a time bomb And sometimes,its
