Pretty sure it’s 13.6 , hope I get it right
Explanation:
Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds (estimated 200,000) that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment. Secondary metabolism is connected to primary metabolism by using building blocks and biosynthetic enzymes derived from primary metabolism. Primary metabolism governs all basic physiological processes that allow a plant to grow and set seeds, by translating the genetic code into proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Specialized compounds from secondary metabolism are essential for communicating with other organisms in mutualistic (e.g. attraction of beneficial organisms such as pollinators) or antagonistic interactions (e.g. deterrent against herbivores and pathogens). They further assist in coping with abiotic stress such as increased UV-radiation. The broad functional spectrum of specialized metabolism is still not fully understood. In any case, a good balance between products of primary and secondary metabolism is best for a plant’s optimal growth and development as well as for its effective coping with often changing environmental conditions. Well known specialized compounds include alkaloids, polyphenols including flavonoids, and terpenoids. Humans use many of these compounds for culinary, medicinal and nutraceutical purposes.
I hope it's helpful!!
Explanation:
Bases have a slippery feel when touched but acids do not have a slippery feel.
- An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions, H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution. Here are some of its properties:
- Their dilute solutions have a sour taste.
- They have a burning effect on the skin and are highly corrosive on metals.
- They have the ability to change the colors of indicators.
- They react with bases to form salt and water only.
Examples of acids are:
Hydrochloric acid HCl
Tetraoxosulphate (VI ) acid H₂SO₄
- A base is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqueous solution.
- They typically have a bitter taste.
- They have a soapy feel
- They are electrolytes
- They also change the color of indicators
Examples are:
Potassium hydroxide KOH
Sodium hydroxide NaOH
