Why do most angiosperms have alternate phyllotaxy, with leaf emergence at an angle of 137.5° compared to leaves above and below?

Elanso [62]3 years ago

Answer: The answer is D: to allow maximum exposure to light and to reduce shading of lower leaves.

Explanation:

The arrangement of leaves on a Stem is known as Phyllotaxy. It is used to enable them obtain maximum exposure to sunlight.

Leaves are classified as either alternate, spiral or opposite.

Leaves with alternate pattern arise at a different point (node) on the stem. This helps reduce shading of the lower leaves.

Describe the three types of polar climates
rewona [7]
There are two types of polar climate: ET, or tundra climate; and EF, or ice cap climate. A tundra climate is characterized by having at least one month whose average temperature is above 0 °C (32 °F), while an ice cap climate has no months above 0 °C (32 °F).

The two members used in the construction of an aircraft fuselage are joined together using a 30° fish-mouth weld. Determine the
Leya [2.2K]

This question is incomplete because it lacks the required diagram of the fuselage. Please find attached to this answer the appropriate diagram.

Answer:

The average normal stress on the plane of each weld = 66.7 psi

The average shear stress on the plane of each weld = 115.5 psi

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that two members are joined together.

From the diagram we see 800lb.

Since there are 2 members = 800lb/2

= 400lb

a) The formula for average nor umal stress on the plane of each weld = Force (in Newton)/ Cross sectional area (in inches)

From the question, we are assuming that the horizontal force = 400lb

We are given an angle of 30°

Therefore, the resultant force in Newton = F sin θ

= 400 sin 30 = 200lb

Cross sectional area = A/sin θ

= 1 × 1.5/ sin 30

= 3 in²

The average normal stress on the plane of each weld is calculated as:

200lb/3 in²

= 66.7lb/in² or 66.7 psi

b) The average shear stress on the plane of each weld = Force (in Newton)/ Cross sectional area (in inches)

Resultant force =  F cos θ

= 400 cos 30 = 346.41016151lb

Approximately = 346.41lb

Crossectional area = 3 in²

The average normal stress on the plane of each weld is calculated as:

346.4lb/3 in²

= 115.47Ib/in²

Approximately = 115.5Ib/in²

Therefore,

The average normal stress on the plane of each weld = 66.7 psi

The average shear stress on the plane of each weld = 115.5 psi

What is a failure to maintain homeostasis called
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Homeostasis imbalance

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain stable internal environment. It is one of the major life functions. For example, the body has a way of regulating excess water in the body in form release of urine.

When the internal enviroment is not in equilibrium, it is called a homeostasis imbalance. It occurs when an organism is no longer able to maintain a fairly stable internal environment. Most this results as a result of diseases in the human body.
