Why can't we see chloroplasts in onion cells even though they have them?

Biology

 <span>Because the chloroplasts that actually photosynthesize are found in the tops of the onions - the part that is actually above ground. There's no reason for there to be chlorophyll in the onion skin itself because these grow underground :)</span>

Compare water reclamation, greywater use, and desalination
madreJ [45]

The water reclamation, the greywater usage, and the desalination processes are kind of similar, but also kind of different.

The water reclamation is a process in which the wastewater through chemical and biological treatments is cleaned from the polluters, so that it can be returned into the environment and not cause any damage.

The greywater is a wastewater from the households and offices that doesn't have fecal contamination. This water is not suitable for drinking, but it is also not in a very bad state, so it is used for the toilet flushing, laundry washing, for irrigation.

The desalination is a process through which the saline water is stripped of the salt, in order to be suitable for drinking. This is not a widely used process, but some places like the countries on the Arabian Peninsula have to do it because there is not a single stream or river with freshwater with constant flow.

In what ways does the "viscosity" of H₂O — as a property of H₂O — beneficial to life on Earth? {No answer choices given. WILL CO
butalik [34]

The viscosity of water is the thickness of water (it might also be considered the stickiness when talking about other fluids). Water has many properties, and the viscosity of water influences in many of them. We can take the surface tension of a liquid as an example. The more viscous a substance is, higher will the surface tension be and vice versa since there will be a higher and lower attraction between molecules respectively.


→ The surface tension of water is something really important since it contributes in many ways to the environment and if you think about it, if the water was a little less viscous, there wouldn't be water since the viscosity of water makes it resistant to evaporation to a certain degree.


Hope it helped,
