We know that :
1 cal (th) = 4.184 J
1 J = 0.2390057361 cal (th) , so :

•55.2 j to cal > 13.193116635 cal
•110 call > 460.24 joule
•65 kj > divide the energy value by 4.184
= 15.535 kilocalories calorie (IT)
——————
Converting form C to F > (F-32)*5/9Understand it better if we have Fahrenheit just add to the equation mentioned to find Celsius.
+to find F to C> (9/5*C)+32

•425 Fahrenheit = (425- 32) × 5/9 =218.33333333 Celsius

•1935 C = 3515 F
———————————-
Converting Celsius to kelvin,We know that :
K = C + 273.15
C = K - 273.15
And from F to K=9/5(F+459.67)
And K to F =(9/5 *k)-459.67
•39.4 Celsius = 312.55 kelvin
•337 Fahrenheit = (337+ 459.67) × 5/9 =442.594 kelvin

Function of leaf in points​
klasskru [66]

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>
