Explanation:
Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds (estimated 200,000) that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment. Secondary metabolism is connected to primary metabolism by using building blocks and biosynthetic enzymes derived from primary metabolism. Primary metabolism governs all basic physiological processes that allow a plant to grow and set seeds, by translating the genetic code into proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Specialized compounds from secondary metabolism are essential for communicating with other organisms in mutualistic (e.g. attraction of beneficial organisms such as pollinators) or antagonistic interactions (e.g. deterrent against herbivores and pathogens). They further assist in coping with abiotic stress such as increased UV-radiation. The broad functional spectrum of specialized metabolism is still not fully understood. In any case, a good balance between products of primary and secondary metabolism is best for a plant’s optimal growth and development as well as for its effective coping with often changing environmental conditions. Well known specialized compounds include alkaloids, polyphenols including flavonoids, and terpenoids. Humans use many of these compounds for culinary, medicinal and nutraceutical purposes.

Answer:
Explanation:
B)The compound potassium chloride (KCl) has different properties than potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl).
The answer is Na-F. The F has highest electronegativity among these elements. So we need to find the element with smallest electronegativity. And this element is Na.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Science is not based on primarily on peoples opinions and views of the subject matter whereas science is based on empirical observations and research for its validity.
<u>Science aims to find answers to human questions related to the natural world through their research observation and experiments. Scientists and researchers provide valid proof of human questions so that people can trust them.</u>
Science can change people's opinions regarding the natural world with valid proof and observational theories but science is not based on people's opinion.
Hence, the given statement is "false".
Answer:
– 1
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following:
Electron = 8
Net charge of nitrogen =.?
Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.
Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:
Proton = 7
Electron = 8
Net charge = Proton – Electron
Net charge = 7 – 8
Net charge = – 1
Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
