Explanation:
The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.
I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.
- <u>Photosynthesis: </u>Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
- <u>Transpiration</u>: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
- <u>Guttation</u>: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
- <u>Storage</u>: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
- <u>Defense</u>: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

Answer:
Faster
number
reactants
increases
Explanation:
The rate of reaction refers to how fast or slow a reaction occurs. The rate of reaction is dependent on factors such as surface area, concentration, temperature, nature of reactants, catalyst etc.
The concentration refers to the amount of reactants present. When the acid is made more concentrated, its amount is increased. This increases the number of collisions between the acid particles and the marble chips ultimately leading to increase in the rate of reaction according to Arrhenius theory.
PH is the scale of measurement to check either the solution is acidic or basic. if the pH value is greater than 7, the solution is towards basicity and if the pH value is less than 7, the solution is towards acidity.
pKa is the dissociation constant and it is used to describe the change in pH value, when pKa is equal to pH: 50% of the ionizable group is protonated and 50% of the enzymes will be active.
So 50% of the enzymes will be active.
Answer: No, boiling water is a physical change.
Explanation:
Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance.
Boiling water is a physical change as liquid changes to gaseous state and no new substance is being formed.
Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state.
