Plants such as epiphytes or orchids have aerial roots. Epiphyte plants grow on other plants without harming them. Aerial roots of orchids are needed for physical support: to climb other plants and compete for sunlight.

Orchids are epiphytic plants which means they grow on other plants and trees. To grow on other plants, they exhibit small tentacles like structures called aerial roots.

Aerial roots grow above the soil towards the sky. In orchid plants, these aerial roosts help them to grow and attach to other plants. It is a normal behavior seen in orchids.

Moreover, their ability to grow on other plats does not harm the host plants as orchids get their food from the surrounding environment which contains necessary nutrients.

The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is known as:
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B. Activation energy

Explanation:

The activation energy is usually used to designate the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur, that is, the basic requirement for the reaction to proceed.

For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy. As the molecules approach, their electron clouds are rejected. This requires energy (activation energy) and comes from the heat of the system, that, is, from translational, vibrational energy, etc of each molecule. If the energy is sufficient, the repulsion is overcome and the molecules are close enough for a rearrangement of the bonds of the molecules.

The concept of Activation energy was introduced by Arrhenius in 1889. Arrhenius suggested that molecules must prossess a minimum amount of energy to react. That energy comes from the kinetic energy of the clliding molecules. Kinetic energy serves to cause reactions, but if the molecules move very slowly, the molecules will only bounce when they collide with other molecules and the reaction does not happen. In order for the molecules to react, they must have a total kinetic energy that is equal to or greater than a certain minimum value of energy called activation energy.

What happens during radioactive decay, and what is the result at the end of radioactive decay
natulia [17]
Radioactive decay occurs when an atom has either to many or to few neutrons and becomes unstable and start to emit radio active radioactive radiation and the atom start to decompose.

At the end two things can happen either the atom will transform in a new element with a lower atomic # and atomic mass # or the remaining neutron will transform into an electron and be on its own way

What is the biological advantage of operons to bacteria?
TEA [102]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the Operons afford the organism the opportunity to simultaneously monitor the transcription of multiple genes, whose products are active in the same process.  

The genes, which correspond to a particular metabolic procedure are usually under the control of a single promoter in a bacteria. This is known as Operon that assists in monitoring the expression of genes taking part in the similar metabolic procedure.
