How does the structure of the stigma aid in pollination
natali 33 [55]
<span>Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female part of a plant. The stigma is the central part of the flower, that is supported by a style and is part of the female reproductive organ within plants. Its structure is optimised to promote pollination by having hairs, sticky surfaces and three-dimensional sculptures that capture and trap pollen.</span>

(a) A 70-kg person at rest has an oxygen consumption rate Qhum = 14.5 liter/h, 2% of which is supplied by diffusion through the
nevsk [136]

Answer:

(a) fd=1.7058\times 10^{-5}\ L.hr^{-1}.cm(b) [tex]r=26.008\ cm

Explanation:

(a)

  • Oxygen consumption rate of humans, Q_h=14.5\ L.hr^{-1}

area of human skin, A_h=1.7\ m^2

  • diffusion rate through skin of humans, d=2\%\ of\ Q_h
  • ∴d=\frac{2}{100} \times 14.5

d=0.29\ L.hr^{-1}

<u>Flux of diffusion rate, </u>

fd=\frac{d}{A}

fd=\frac{0.29}{17000}

fd=1.7058\times 10^{-5}\ L.hr^{-1}.cm(b)Surface area for a spherical animal:[tex]A=4.\pi.r^2

Diffusion flux rate for animal:

fd=\frac{14.5}{A}

1.7058\times 10^{-5}=\frac{14.5}{4.\pi.r^2}

r=26.008\ cm

A 40kg skier starts at the top of a 12 meter high slope at the bottom she is traveling g 10m/a how much energy does she lose to
nikdorinn [45]
Energy at top = U = mgh = 40 * 9.8 * 12 = 4704 J

Energy at bottom = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 * 40 * 10² = 4000 / 2 = 2000 J

Energy Lost = Final - Initial = 4704 - 2000 = 2704 J

In short, Your Answer would be 2704 Joules

Hope this helps!
