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>

Please help me with this question !!!
Art [367]

Density of the vinegar is higher than the density of the oil.

Explanation:

Density of the vinegar is higher than the density of the oil. The consequence of this is that the oil will be the top layer in the pitcher while the vinegar is at the bottom layer in the pitcher.

When mixing oil and vinegar will not produce a mixture because the oil contains non-polar molecules while vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water and both of them are polar molecules.

Calculate the ΔHrxn for the following
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

2 NO (g) → N2 (g) + O2 (g)

2 NOCl (g) → 2 NO (g) + Cl2 (g)

____________________________

2NOCl (g) ⟶ N2 (g) + O2 (g) + Cl2 (g)

ΔH = [90.3 kJ x 2 x -1] +  [-38.6 kJ x -1 x 2] = -103.4 kJ

The ΔH for the reaction is -103.4 kJ

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.
vichka [17]

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

Make since? i hope this helps
