Explain how the scent of a flower gets to the bee

Biology

Answer:

Some flowers use scent to attract pollinators. Scent is a signal that helps pollinators find and select particular flowers. These floral scents are typically a complex mixture of highly volatile compounds and essential oils that flowers emit into the atmosphere. A flower scent's structure, color, and odor are important in attracting pollinators. Flowers can be identical in their color or shape, but no two floral scents are exactly the same because of the diversity of volatile compounds, relative abundances, and interactions.

A pollinator detects a flower's scent and follows the concentration gradient of the chemical producing the scent to the flower. Plant species pollinated by bees and flies have sweet scents and those pollinated by beetles have strong musty, spicy, or fruity odors. Flowers that use scents to attract their pollinators are generally drab in appearance, white or purple-brown to dark red-brown, and exude very strong scents that can be detected at a distances over one kilometer.

¿Que aspecto debemos considerar para desidir el uso mas adecuado de lagunos materiales en la satisfacción de necesidades humanas
umka21 [38]

Answer:

El efecto del material sobre el medio ambiente es el aspecto a considerar.

Explicación:

Se debe verificar la estructura química del material o de qué elementos se forma un material para conocer el efecto de estos materiales en la salud y el medio ambiente de las personas. Si los materiales no afectan el medio ambiente y la salud humana, el ser humano puede utilizarlos para satisfacer sus necesidades. Si el material se forma a partir de elementos tóxicos o elementos que no se descomponen por microbios, entonces este tipo de materiales son peligrosos tanto para la salud humana como para el medio ambiente porque estos materiales contaminan el medio ambiente y debido a esta contaminación la salud humana se ve gravemente afectada.

Brown eyes is dominant to light eyes. Mr. O'Ryan has blue (light) eyes. Mrs. O'Ryan is heterozygous for brown eyes. What are the
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Brown eyes = 0.5

Blue eyes = 0.5

Explanation:

Given, B ( brown eyes ) is dominant over b ( blue/light eyes ). So,

BB = Brown

Bb = Brown

bb = blue/light

Mr. O'Ryan = blue eyes = bb

Mrs. O'Ryan = heterozygous brown eyes = Bb

Their children: Bb X bb :

      B        b

b    Bb     bb

b    Bb     bb

Half of the children will have Bb genotype and brown eyes, other half will have bb genotype and blue eyes. Hence, Kellan O'Ryan has 0.5 probability of blue eyes and 0.5 probability of brown eyes.
