Explanation:
The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.
I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.
- <u>Photosynthesis: </u>Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
- <u>Transpiration</u>: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
- <u>Guttation</u>: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
- <u>Storage</u>: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
- <u>Defense</u>: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

I believe the answer you're looking for is, D. The motion of atoms and molecules.
<span> </span><span>Fusion
reaction is a type of nuclear reaction where two or more nuclei combine or
collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. This happens when the
collision is in a very high speed. In this process, some of the matter of the
fusing nuclei is converted to energy.</span>
Answer:
9.
a. NH2CH2COOH
b. The function group is what I put in bold.
c. carboxylic acid and amine
10.
a. NH2CH(CH3)COOH
b. The functional group is in bold.
c. carboxylic acid and amine
Explanation:
NH2 is amine (amino acid)
COOH is the carboxylic acid (acetic acid)
Answer:
D.atom 2 is not the same , because the mass number is different from atoms 1 and 2
