Answer:

The plants that live in the bottom tend to have more broader leaves as compared to that of other plants that live in the hot or sunny conditions.

This is so because plants need to trap sunlight and plants at bottom do not receive much sunlight.

The chlorophyll and stomata in leaves has to be in huge number to increase the rate of photosynthesis.

so, the plants at floor must have broader leaves as compared to that of plants that receive more sunlight.

The reason that plants tend to have larger leaves on the forest floor is because the leaves need to capture more sun.


By increasing the surface area of the leaf, which also increases the amount of sun it collects, it can compete with the larger trees and vines when it is exposed to less sun due to said trees.

Elements are placed into the same period on the periodic table of the elements because they ___________.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

have the same number of electron energy levels

Explanation:

All of the elements in the same period have the same number of atomic orbitals that are occupied by electrons that are in constant motion. For example the elements in the first period have one orbital for its electrons. The elements in the second period have two orbitals for their electrons. As you move down the table, every row adds an orbital. At this time, there is a maximum of seven electron orbitals.

The nurse will determine that circulation to the feet remains sufficient by applying pressure to the toes. If color rapidly returns that means that circulation is adequate. This should be done with both feet and the responses should be compared for adequacy of circulation and symmetry.

suppopse you were going to deisgn a system for the rapid diffusion of oxygen across a phosphlipid bilayer. according to fick's l
Llana [10]

Answer:

According to Fick's law, the rate of diffusion of any substance across any barrier is<u> directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane or any layer exposed. and the concentration of the diffusing substance available, but the rate is inversely proportional to the diffusion distance available.</u>

<u />

Thus the rate at which oxygen will move across the phospholipid  bilayer will depend on the concentration or amount  per mole  of the oxygen molecule hitting the phopholipid at  a prticular time and how permeable the phospholipd layer is to oxygen molecules, but the rate of its  movement across will be reduced as the distance between the phosphoslipid bilayer and the diffusing molecules  increases.

Therefore, the concentration of oxygen should be maximised, the surface area of the phospholipid  bilayer should also be maximized. the distances between the phopholipid and the  vessel containing the diffusing oxygen molecules should be drastically reduced. With this Fick's law  has been applied , and therefore maximum oxygen molecules can diffuse across.
