The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.
<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>
The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.
Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

Answer:
Mushrooms with gills, typically available in supermarkets, have meiotically produced spores located in or on BASIDIA and belong to the phylum BASIDIOMYCOTA.
Explanation:
Mushrooms are fruiting bodies of certain fungi that belongs yo the phylum BASIDIOMYCOTA. They are incapable of producing their own foods( because of lack of chlorophyl) therefore are saprophytic in nature. It derives its nutrients for growth from metabolizing non living organic matter.The structure that you normally see above the ground is the part of the mushroom that is producing and dispersing spores which is located at the BASIDIA.
Mushroom are used for different purposes:
- the edible species are useful in cooking since it provides vitamin D to the diet.
- it's extracts can be used for medical purposes.
Biological dyes work by adhering to various biological parts. Different dyes adhere to the different constituents of the cellular membranes, other attach to the proteins, carbohydrates, or lipids.
Some dyes are specific to the cell, and attach to the constituents of those specific cells only.
