Can a door open across the 36 inch space required in front of an electric service panel. Or in other word's is it legal if the 36 inch required clearance is only there when the door is closed?

There is no problem. The reason the code stipulates clearance, is for access without obstruction. This is so that breakers can be reset with out having to climb over materials stored in front of the panel. If any work has to be done on the distribution panel the electrician needs to have access and not have to move a pile of stuff before they start to work. I have actually told a customers that I will be back in an hour when the panel is clear of storage material.
It will be important to provide a way to secure the door closed so when work is being done, the door isn't abruptly opened and knocks the electrician into the panel. Any simple latch will suffice.

What is the minimum clearance of service wires above a sidewalk in feet?
The point of attachment of service wires shall not exceed 9 m (30 ft.) above grade or side walk.The clearance of supply conductors at any point above finished grade will not bet less than, 5.5 m (18 ft.) across highways, streets, lanes, and alleys, 4m (13ft.) across driveways to residential garages, 5m (16 ft.) across driveways to commercial and industrial premises and 3.5 m (12 ft.) across ground normally accessible to pedestrians only.
What is the minimum height above a driveway for an electrical service drop?
According to the National Electrical Code Handbook, clearance over public streets, alleys, roads, parking areas subject to truck traffic and driveways on other than residential property is 18 feet.

Yes
What is required to transport glucose molecules across the cell membranes of the intestine?
To start the process ATP is required to transport glucose milecules across the cell membranes of the intestine.
Why is it important to ground static electric charges?
Because of the electric force and stuff and the magnitude and lattitude that pulls it across the system of rods
What are some examples of a parallel circuit?

What is the minimum height of the service dropped wire?
The point of attachment of supply service conductors shall not exceed 9 m above grade. The drop has be located so that the clearance of the conductors at any point above finished grade is not less than the following heights; across highways, streets, lanes, and alleys - 5.5 m, across driveways to residential garages - 4 m, across driveways to commercial and industrial premises - 5 m and across ground normally accessible to pedestrians only - 3.5 m.

Is electric current and current the same thing?
Not really. You can compare them with the analogy of water flowing through a pipe. For water to flow, there must be a pressure difference across the ends of the pipe. An electric current is a movement of electric charges along a conductor. For those charges to move, there must be a voltage (more accurately, a 'potential difference') across the ends of the conductor. So a potential difference is required to cause current to flow.
Why do you get an electric shock after rubbing your feet across a carpet?
Yes
How is a stimulus transmitted across a synapse?
Neurons are responsible for transmitting a stimulus across a synapse. The electric potential of the neuron is sensitive to changes in the resting state and sets off electric transmissions.
How long and big do electric jellyfish get?
they are around four inches across
Why electric current across a wire drops?
Electric current does not drop. Electric voltage, however, drops across a wire because the wire has non-zero resistance. (Do not confuse electric current with electric voltage - they are not the same.)The reason current does not drop is that, in a series circuit, according to Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
What is required to transport glucose molecules across the cell membranes of the intestine?
To start the process ATP is required to transport glucose milecules across the cell membranes of the intestine.
What does an electric circuit provide for the flow of electric current?
It doesn't necessarily have a 'function'; it is simply the natural consequence of applying a potential difference across a conductor. However, this is usually done for a reason, and its function is then derived from one or other of the three effects of that current:heating effect -e.g. electric heatersmagnetic effect -e.g. electric motorschemical effect -e.g. electrolysis (electroplating)
