Function of leaf in points​

Chemistry
1 answer:
klasskru [66]3 years ago
3 0

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.

  • Photosynthesis.
  • Transpiration.
  • Guttation.
  • Storage.
  • Defense.

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).

<u>Hope this helps!</u>

He (Helium) is _________ atomic molecule.
babunello [35]

Answer:

Monatomic molecule

Explanation:

Each helium atom has 2 electrons, which is already the maximum no. of electrons that can fit in the first electron shell. When the outermost electron shell is full (2 for the first layer, 8 for others), the atom is stable.

Helium atom itself is already stable, so it doesn't need to combine with another helium atom to form a molecule, hence we call it monatomic.

Mr. Chem S. Tree added water to 250. ML of a 2.50 M NaOH solution, until the final volume was 500. ML. What is the new molarity
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

molarity of diluted solution = 1.25 M

Explanation:

Using,          

C1V1 (Stock solution) = C2V2 (dilute solution)

given that

C1 = 2.50M

V1 = 250ML

C2 = ?

V2 = 500ML

2.50 M x 250 mL = C2 x 500 mL

C2 = (2.50 M x 250 mL) / 500 mL

C2 = 1.25 M

Hence, molarity of diluted solution = 1.25 M
