34、 does not.In fact,there have been many such studies to arrive at that conclusion.One notable example from 2014 compared students who took notes by hand with those who took notes on laptops.They found that the students using laptops tended to write down what the professor said word for word,while tho

47、 jellyfish fit into the story?Well,its the jelly part of jellyfish,and specifically their sticky,jelly-like mucus that is key.Jellyfish produce a thick,sticky liquid called mucus.Dr Ana Rotter has discovered that this mucus has strong absorptive capabilitiesit can absorb,take in liquids and other su
48、bstances.One of the substances jellyfish mucus absorbs are the particles that make up microplastics.Dr Rotters research is still in the early stages,but its hoped that jellyfish mucus could hold the key to a future free of microplastic polluted oceans.Scientists are hoping that the mucuss absorptive
