Desert plants commonly have small wax coated leaves to prevent moisture and water from evaporating. It is an important feature in desert plants to adapt to the arid climate. The wax on the leaves also protect the leaves from the chilling temperature of the desert at night.

Explanation:
J. Dorman probably was the scientist.
I have a question too. Can you please help me with that? I have a test tomorrow. Thank you!
1. True or False? When you charge your laptop, you are separating charges in the laptop battery.
2. True or False? When you use your laptop, the battery becomes more neutral as it runs low on power.
Answer:
<h3>1. 10 e⁻</h3>
Oxidation numbers
I₂O₅(s): I (5+); O(2-)
CO(g): C(2+); O(2-)
I₂(s): I(0)
CO₂(g): C(4+); O(2-)
<h3>2. 4 e⁻</h3>
Oxidation numbers
Hg²⁺(aq): Hg(2+)
N₂H₄(aq): N(2-); H(1+)
Hg(l): Hg(0)
N₂(g): N(0)
H⁺(aq): H(1+)
<h3>3. 6 e⁻</h3>
Oxidation numbers
H₂S(aq): H(1+); S(2-)
H⁺(aq): H(1+)
NO₃⁻(aq): N(5+); O(2-)
S(s): S(0)
NO(g): N(2+); O(2-)
H₂O(l): H(1+); O(2-)
Explanation:
In order to state the total number of electrons transferred we have to identify both half-reactions for each redox reaction.
1. I₂O₅(s) + 5 CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5 CO₂(g)
Oxidation: 10 e⁻ + 10 H⁺(aq) + I₂O₅(s) → I₂(s) + 5 H₂O(l)
Reduction: 5 H₂O(l) + 5 CO(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 10 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻
2. 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + N₂H₄(aq) → 2 Hg(l) + N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq)
Oxidation: N₂H₄(aq) → N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻
Reduction: 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 Hg(l)
3. 3 H₂S(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) → 3 S(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Oxidation: 3 H₂S(aq) → 3 S(s) + 6 H⁺(aq) + 6 e⁻
Reduction: 8 H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 6 e⁻ → 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O
