What is meant by “pressure” in a scientific sense? What units are used to measure pressure?

Biology

HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

Pressure, in the physical sciences, the perpendicular force per unit area, or the stress at a point within a confined fluid. ... In SI units, pressure is measured in pascals; one pascal equals one newton per square metre. Atmospheric pressure is close to 100,000 pascals.

Answer:

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distribute.

The SI unit for pressure is the pascal, equal to one newton per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (Ibf/in2), bar and atmosphere, are also in common use.

Describe the characteristics and classification of seedless vascular and nonvascular plants
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Vascular plants, also known as tracheophytes, are plants found on land that have lignified tissues for conducting water and minerals throughout the body of the plant.

1. These lignified tissues are also called vascular tissue and consist of water-conducting xylem tissue and food-conducting phloem tissue.

2. Vascular tissue forms a central column, also called stele, through the plant axis for the transport of different substances.

3. Vascular plants are said to have a true stem, leaves, and roots due to the presence of vascular tissues.

4. The root is a true root that enables the plant to anchor onto the soil and gets nutrients from it.

5. The leaves are broad and have stomata that work for gas exchange and support transpiration.

6. The stem of vascular plants is multilayered with vascular tissue that helps in the protection and conduction of food and water.

7. The arrangement of these issues might be different in a different group of plants as it depends on the pattern of division of cells.

8. The xylem is composed of non-living matter, tracheids, and vesicles, hardened by lignin that provides a stiff structure to the tissue. 9. The phloem, on the other hand, contains living sieve elements that are not lignified.

10. Vascular plants are capable of surviving on land due to their ability to transport food, water, and mineral to different parts of the plant by creating pressure through the tissues.

11. Besides, they also have several modifications that facilitate their survival on land.

12. Another essential characteristic of vascular plants is that the principal generation phase in these plants is the sporophytic phase where they produce diploid spores.

13. Vascular plants are tall and large in size compared to the non-vascular plants because of their ability to transport necessary substances to all parts of the body via vascular tissue.

14. It is believed that vascular plants are a more evolved version of non-vascular plants and thus came later in the evolutionary history.

15. Vascular plants are divided into two groups; non-seed plants or lower vascular plants or cryptograms and seed plants or higher vascular plants or phanerogams.

16. The lower vascular plants include plants like ferns that although are adapted to survive on land still have some characteristics of their aquatic ancestry. These plants belong to the group Pteridophyta.

17. The higher vascular plants are numerous and extremely diverse and are further divided into different subgroups.

18.Some examples of vascular plants include maize, mustard, rose, cycad, ferns, clubmosses, grasses, etc.

Why is it difficult to evaporate seawater?
Alika [10]

Answer: Different liquids will evaporate differently depending on the force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid. The weaker the force of attraction the higher the rate of evaporation and vice versa.

In Sea water the water molecules are attracted to the salt ions and thus it requires more energy to evaporate.
