I am always a fat guy, and this can be seen from my body shape.
Fat means good health, at least for Titans. In fact, fat is never a bad thing for any creature, and only humans in the world are bored to lose weight!
This is very anti-human... no, it should be said to be anti-biological instinct!
Saving fat is the evolutionary advantage of human beings, so losing weight is an evolutionary advantage to "struggle". The difficulty can be imagined, and failure to lose weight is reasonable. For people who have overweight, the standard for successfully losing weight is: losing 5% or more of their weight and maintaining it for more than one year.
Humans are talented in gaining weight! If gaining weight is a unique survival skill for humans, some people must be gifted in this skill. After all, in the adult world, it is not easy to gain weight except for being prone to gain weight. How does humans gain weight? How sensitive is the body to "fat"? Let's talk about a brief history of gaining weight and teach you how to stabilize your weight scientifically.
How important is "fat gain" in the history of human evolution?
For a long time in the history of evolution, due to productivity, most early humans lived in a state of hunger and fullness. Since there was no long-term storage of food, once food was found or prey was found, people would eat them to the greatest extent and convert them into fat for survival when there was no food. From prehistoric transition to ancient times, "fat" was gradually considered a sign of health, wealth and wealth.
Gaining weight is a need for human evolution!
Evolution has significantly increased the brain capacity, height, and weight, which has also significantly increased the energy demand. Compared with grains and proteins, the energy obtained from fat is much more effective. In a harsh living environment, it is a good thing for people to quickly get fat, and the genetic advantages of getting fat are also constantly preserved in natural selection. Simply put, in an environment where food is insufficient, the more fat is stored, the stronger the survival ability of people.
Humans are born to love fat!
The reason why people like to eat sugar and crispy fried foods is the "nature" left by their ancestors. Sugar can be converted into energy faster, and excess sugar can be converted into fat quickly. The energy of oil is relatively high. Both intake is beneficial to human survival. In addition to providing energy to humans as always, fat is also quietly protecting the internal organs and resisting cold. Among the eight essential nutrients for the brain, fat ranks first. The fat in the diet can also help the body absorb fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E. Without the "energy warehouse" of fat, humans may not be able to survive and reproduce.
How sensitive is the body to "weight"? If storing fat is the evolutionary advantage of human beings, weight loss is to fight against their own advantages, and the difficulty can be imagined. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that two hormones (leptin and auxin) indicators play a leading role in weight changes. Human beings are very sensitive to body fat and weight loss. Once they find that the two are significantly reduced, they will immediately stimulate their appetite to remind the body to consume more food to maintain their original weight. After the basal metabolic level is reduced,
The minimum energy consumption will also decrease, and the body can work hard to "save back" the calories you consume. This "selfish" phenomenon shown by the human body can also be understood from an evolutionary perspective: in the long evolution, food sources are often insufficient, and the reduction of weight or body fat poses a major threat to survival and inheritance. The function of maintaining or increasing weight and body fat is gradually retained in human evolution. Therefore, these evolutionary advantageous functions that determine the survival of the species make today's obese people more hungry and hunger, ending in failure.
The pursuit of fat in wild animals is mainly reflected in their preference for fat-rich foods because fat can provide more energy. For example, carnivores such as lions and hyenas will eat fat-rich viscera and subcutaneous fat after capturing prey, because these parts have higher energy density, which helps them store energy when food is scarce. In addition, some animals rely on fat as their main energy source during dry seasons, because moisture is a scarce resource in the wild, and fat can provide energy without additional water replenishment.
The importance of fat in the animal diet is also reflected in the energy and nutritional value it provides. Fat is not only an important source of energy, but also contains many essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E and K, which are high in fat. Therefore, wild animals will prefer fat-rich foods to meet their physiological needs.
For humans, especially modern people, fat is always considered a bad thing, and fat is even discriminated against.
But when it comes to wild animals, fat means that you have advantages and are more popular!
In the cold season, animals need more energy to maintain body temperature. Therefore, they will increase their fat reserves by intake of more food. This behavior occurs in many mammals, such as bears, squirrels, etc. Before winter comes, these animals will eat a lot and convert excess energy into fat to store them. In this way, they can rely on these fats to maintain their life activities in the cold winter. What is the emotional psychological mechanism behind the animal's behavior of hoarding fat? From the perspective of animal behavior, hoarding fat is an instinctive reaction to self-protection. Animals improve their viability by accumulating fat to cope with environmental changes. Behind this protective behavior, there is actually an emotional need: a sense of security. For animals, hoarding fat means better survival security, thus bringing a kind of psychological comfort and satisfaction. Next, we will
Animal behaviors are compared and connected with human emotional psychology. In human society, people also show similar hoarding behaviors. For example, during economic difficulties, people may store food and other necessities to prevent possible future crises. The psychological mechanism behind this behavior is very similar to the behavior of animals hoarding fat: the sense of security and the need for self-protection. Hoarding behavior is also closely related to a human emotional psychology - anxiety. When people face uncertainty and stress, they often feel anxious. In order to alleviate this emotion, people may take some actions to improve their sense of security, such as hoarding material resources and seeking social support. These behaviors are actually a self-protection and coping strategy that people make when facing uncertainties. Behind the fat hoarding behavior of animals hides an emotional psychological mechanism: the need for security and self-protection.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A lion is fat and strong, which means its hunting skills are good, strong and fast.
What does this mean?
It means its genes are good!
So it is easier to win the favor of the female lion... Of course, in the end, you still have to fight with the original lion, but the body shape itself is a huge advantage!
This is true for wild animals.
The same is true for Titans.
After all, no matter what, Titans are...it's also considered animals...
Well, it’s a bit exaggerated to say that. Your animals don’t participate in the natural cycle and don’t even have to eat chewy food... Not to mention organic matter, they don’t even eat inorganic matter!
Just eating radiation is enough... It's magical or not. The key is that these things can actually transform radiation, such as invisible and intangible, pure energy, into flesh-and-blood entities... it's outrageous!
Although plants do not eat, they also need to absorb minerals and water, and sunlight participates in the energy cycle.
Titans don't need it, light lies there to absorb radiation and everything can be synthesized!
What's even more exaggerated is that the Earth can actually support the birth of this monster, which completely violates the laws of nature! Will the Earth allow a huge creature like Godzilla to exist? It will allow it to exist? However, according to the environment on the Earth, the larger the creature, the higher the requirements for the environment. The huge body needs extremely hard bones to support it, thick blood vessels to maintain blood circulation, and a strong heart. There have been huge creatures on the Earth, such as dinosaurs, but the oxygen content of the earth they live in is very high.
The earliest organisms on Earth were single cells. If organisms were always single cells, would they have the chance to grow into a behemoth like Godzilla? In our impression, cells are always so small that the naked eye cannot see them. You may say that organisms composed of such small cells naturally cannot grow big, but in fact, single cells can also grow big. There is a reason why cells do not grow big. The larger the cell volume, the smaller the relative surface area, that is, the ratio of surface area to volume, and the lower the efficiency of cell material transportation, which will inevitably affect the cells' absorption of nutrients. In addition, cells
The amount of genetic material inside will not change. If the cells are too large, it will also affect the control of the cell nucleus on the cell and the subsequent metabolic activities, so the cells will not grow very large. However, there are always exceptions in things. Over the years, organisms have actually explored a set of methods to make the cells grow bigger. A single nucleus cannot control a body that is too large. What if there are multiple nuclei? The cypress fern algae can be said to be the largest single-cell organism discovered so far. The largest cypress fern algae can reach 3 meters, and this plant looks very similar to ferns, leaves, stems, roots, etc.
The plant with all organs is actually just a huge cell. The cypress fern algae adopts a multi-nuclear strategy. Many independent nuclei are wrapped in a mass of cytoplasm. The nuclei of different parts produces proteins with different functions, constantly branching, and thus forming a complex leaf shape. If strict requirements are required, there can only be one nucleus in a single cell, and organisms have also evolved a common method: to make the cytoplasm as thin and long as possible and expand the surface area. In the shallow sea area, there is an algae called umbilicali. As its name suggests, a straight long handle is supported.
With a different shape, the height can reach 10 cm - unlike the pine-leaf fern algae, the entire marigold is a large cell with only one nucleus. In the multicellular organisms including humans, there are also large single cells - nerve cells. In order to transmit nerve signals to every corner of the body, nerve cells will continue to extend, and the longer they grow. For example, the nerve cells of blue whale can extend from the brain to the tail, up to 25 meters long. In order to feed the "huge" nerve cells, the animals wrapped a large number of glial cells around the nerve cells and trophed from the outside.
Obviously, it is still a bit difficult to grow into a behemoth with just one cell. It is difficult to complete all the physiological functions of organisms and requires the help of other cells. So how big can they grow when a large number of cells gather together? According to the Guinness World Records, the "largest organism on earth" is a giant honey bacteria found in the Mallor National Forest in Oregon, USA. It covers an area of 8.9 square kilometers and is estimated to be 2,400 years old. The total mass may be as high as 605 tons. The mycelium of honey bacteria is hidden deep underground and emits spores.
The seeds continue to spread around and grow bigger and bigger as time goes by. Strictly speaking, the largest monomer organism is a giant sequoia called the "General Sherman Tree", which is located in the Sequoia National Park on the west side of the Sierra Nevada Range in the United States. The "General Sherman Tree" is 83.8 meters high, with a base diameter of 11.1 meters, and its volume is about 1487 cubic meters and weighs about 2800 tons. It is estimated that it is between 2150 and 3100 years old. Historical records have described several larger giant sequoia, but it was cut down by humans in the late 19th century.
Compared with Godzilla, these huge creatures still have a big gap. What limits their size?
Whether it is the honey cypress or the "General Sherman Tree", the first factor that determines their size is the number of resources in the natural environment. Fungi and plants cannot walk and can only rely on soil (and the organisms in it) and sunlight to supplement nutrition. The honey cypress needs to rely on mycelium to draw nutrients from surrounding plants. As it continues to expand its territory, the nutrients of the plants are completely plundered and surrounding forests wither on a large scale. The same is true for plants. As the body grows bigger and bigger, the nutrients and sunlight are needed more and more. When the energy obtained is insufficient, the plants stop growing.
For monomer plants, even if the nutrients are sufficient, their own physiological structure will limit their size. Plants absorb water and inorganic substances by roots. Therefore, unlike animals, these nutrients are transported from bottom to top to the whole body of the plant. The direction of the movement of nutrients is opposite to the direction of gravity. Plants need to use great force to send nutrients to high places. The higher the plant grows, the greater the gravity that needs to be fought against. When it reaches a certain height, the leaves at the top cannot obtain nutrients. If the inorganic substances are not replenished, the trees will get sick, and the photosynthesis using water as raw materials will be interrupted and eventually stop growing.

Compared with plants, animals are more restricted to growing up, so the size of animals is far less than that of plants. At present, the largest land animal we know is the sauropod dinosaur - the length can be more than 40 meters and the weight can reach 70 tons. Unfortunately, the sauropod dinosaur is still like a cat or a dog in front of Godzilla. When an animal grows 1 times taller, the touch area of its body will increase by 4 times, and its volume will increase by 8 times.
The amount will also increase in proportion. The bones need to evolve the ability to support additional weight—such as increasing bone density. And muscles need not only more energy to drive a huge body, but also put additional pressure on the heart and lungs. Sauropods have found a good way to support heavier bodies without consuming too much energy. They feed on plants and use a long and flexible neck to wander around for food, while their bodies remain unmoved. Even so, sauropods may touch the sky of the earth's terrestrial organisms
The flower is here. If a living body expands its size infinitely, the final result will cause it to be unable to support its huge body and fall down. So, what about aquatic animals? So far, the largest marine creature discovered is a blue whale, with a body length of 33 meters and a weight of 181 tons. Due to the effect of buoyancy, aquatic animals do not need to consider the problem of being unable to stand, so they can grow larger than terrestrial animals. However, nature has put shackles on the creatures in the ocean in other places. It is similar to terrestrial animals.
Like, every time the body length of marine organisms increases by 4 times, the body surface area increases by 8 times, which is equivalent to the number of cells increasing by 8 times. It can be said that the heat generated by cells increases by 8 times, while the heat emitted through the skin can only increase by 4 times at most. Therefore, even if the body is soaked in the ocean, the too large blue whale will eventually cause heat damage due to excessive heat production and insufficient heat dissipation in time. Therefore, for the reasons of protecting its own internal organs, the ocean environment cannot support the existence of the giant Godzilla.
But, Godzilla and other Titans exist.
If you have combined air, you really won’t participate in the survival of Titans?
Then why does the oxygen destroyer have an effect on Godzilla?
That's all, the key is that they can actually produce fat through radiation!
And fat is also very important to them!
Fatty is definitely not a disadvantage in Titans, but a great advantage!
