 Its To Attract Insects!

Answer:

The flowers of various plant species exhibit specialized cells that generate scents. This scent is generally a composite mixture of low molecular weight compounds discharged by flowers into the atmosphere and its color, structure, and odor are the critical elements in fascinating pollinators.  

Though the flowers can be similar in their shape and color, however, no two floral scents will be exactly the same due to the huge diversity of volatile components and their comparative abundances and associations. Therefore, the scent is a signal, which directs pollinators towards a specific flower whose pollen or nectar is the reward.  

The scents discharged from the flowers work as both short and long-distance attractants and perform an essential function in the selection and localization of flowers by insects, mainly the moth-pollinated flowers. The species of flowers pollinated by flies and bees emit sweet scents, while those pollinated by beetles exhibit spicy, musty, or fruity odors.

This more water retention may cause you to feel heavier than normal, and less active so the person did not die due to the deficiency of this disease.

Between 1896- 1906,he collaborated with many nucleic acids  and protein exoperts  e.g Albrecht Kossel and Emil Fischer to  wok on the structure of DNA.And headed the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.

He works included :the isolation of  Nucleotide-monomers of DNA

:the isolation of D-ribose sugar from ribonucleic acid molecule.(RNA)

Discovery of 2-deoxyribonucleic ,

How the components of Nucleotide(phosphate group,sugars, and organic bases) combined to form nucleotide, and how the latter undergo condensation reaction to form DNA.
