With distilled spirits (such as bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, and rum), alcohol content is expressed in terms of proof. For example, 100-proof gin is 50 percent alcohol.

'Proof' is directly two times the alcohol by volume or ABV (measured as a percentage).

The term 'proof' originated from England, where the government used to impose a greater tax on liquor having a greater quantity of alcohol. Alcohol content was decided by means of a quite primitive test.

Primarily, the government would rinse a gun pellet with alcohol and seek to ignite the gunpowder. If it was ignited, the alcohol content in the liquor was considered high enough to be judged to be a 'proof' spirit, in the sense that there was proof which indicated that it had a greater quantity of alcohol.

Usimov [2.4K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Phloem

B. Xylem

C. Apical meristem

D. Root cap

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Root cap

Explanation:

The plant growth takes place not only above the surface but below the surface also in the roots. Roots continually grow to absorb more water and nutrients to support the growth of the plant.

The roots are protected by a layer of protective cells forming a structure called root cap below the root. The root cap protects the roots, secretes a substance which helps the growth of the root and the sense gravity.

In the given question since the roots are not able to grow therefore the damaged part will be the root cap.

Thus, the root cap is the correct answer.

Testing Two-Point Discrimination
yanalaym [24]
Two-point discrimination is the minimal distance which someone can perceive two different stimuli that given simultaneously. An area with higher receptor density will have a lower two-point discrimination result since the distance between receptor is lower. 
The area that needs a high sensitivity like the palm of the <span>hands(especially the fingertips), face</span>, and tongue should be the one with lowest two-point discrimination.

In this report, a<span>nterior forearm two-point discrimination result is the lower than the fingertip. This result is suspicious since the forearm shouldn't more sensitive than the fingertip. Fingertip two-point discrimination is around 2-6mm and forearm should be much higher than 6mm.
