Explanation:

1. Stomata are the openings on the leaf for the exchange of the water and air from the plant to the environment. It actually helps plants to breath, so it can also be seen as nostrills of the plants. They are present on either side of the leaves. Opening a stomata is like opening the doors for the exchange of the gases . This comes at a cost.

Due to sunlight and heat from the environment water content of the leaf is also remarkably lost when stomata opens, which is protected otherwise due to outer waxy layer of the leaf. To reduce this, most of the stomata are present on the lower surface of the leaves, as it will reduce the possibility of water loss due to high sunlight during the afternoon.

2. In aquatic plants you can find most of the stomata present on the upper surface of the leaf. As the plants float on the water surface, its lower epidermis is stuck to the water, hence respiration is least likely there as there is no contact of the stomata with the air.

What happens to the superheated water leaving the reactor?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

D) it turns steam when released​

Explanation:

In a nuclear reactor, the superheated water leaving turns to steam when released and it in turn is channeled to turn turbines in order to produce electricity.

  • A nuclear reaction is used to generate current through a series of processes.
  • The reaction produces a significant amount of heat energy.
  • This heat energy is used to superheat water and convert it to steam.
  • The steam is then channeled to drive turbines whose mechanical rotation produces electricity.

Help me out a bit! This may be a bit hard but still guys, you can do this question!!!!!!!!!
ra1l [238]

Layers of the soil are called horizons. Here are the horizons:

  • Humus
  • Topsoil
  • Subsoil
  • Fragmented rock
  • Bedrock

Once a soil has developed, it forms layers called horizons. Beneath a surface layer of a plant remains, the topsoil is rich in decomposed plants and animal matter. The subsoil is mainly mineral particles, with much less organic material. The fragmented rock/bedrock is primarily small stones, and beneath it lies all bedrock.

Hope this answer helps you!
