Answer:

During hot summer day with high temperature, high light intensity and low humidity result in the increase in the transpiration of water from leaves.

The wilting of leaves helps the plant to reduce transpiration but the prolonged wilting leads to the death of the leaves and the wind causes the drooping of the leaves. This is advantageous to plant as it helps reduce the surface area for the plant to release water to the atmosphere and plants can conserve more amount of water.

Thus, drooping is helpful to plants.

Plants will usually droop their leaves and wilt on a hot day due the amount of water they're not receiving. This can be advantageous to a plant because this releases moisture in the air called <span>transpiration.

A specific brand of gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-g piece. how many kilograms of dietary f

timofeeve [1]

7 g of dietary fat in each 22.7 g piece.
To convert pounds to kilograms,
1 kg = 2.205 lbs
Thus; 1 lb is equal to 1/2.205 kg
Thus; (1/2.205) × (7/22.7)
= 0.14 kg
Therefore; that would be 0.14 kg of fat per 1 lb of chocolate.

Why does an energy transfer not always result in phase change?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. "If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

<span>Heat strokeHeat stroke is a condition caused by failure of the body's temperature-regulating mechanism when exposed to high temperatures. Heat stroke is treated by keeping the body temperature less than 102.5°F. Various cooling methods includes removing clothing, placing the patient in front of a large fan, and immersing the patient into a tub of cool water.
