1. They have evolved their leaves into spikes for minimum water loss through transpiration.

2. They have a waxy layer for minimum water loss.

3. They have thick walls for minimum water loss.

4. They can take water from atmosphere.

5. They change the photo energy from Sun into an intermediate stage and store it, so that they can make food even in night.

A housefly walking across a clean surface can accumulate a significant positive or negative charge. In one experiment, the large

Answer:

$4.56*10^8 \text{ electrons.}$

Explanation:

Since the fly accumulated a positive charge of +73pC, it must have lost an equal number of negative charge of -73pC to the surface (because the housefly was neutral to begin with).

Therefore, to answer our question we have to ask ourselves <em>how many electrons combine to make -73pC of charge? </em>

The answer is since one electron carries a charge of $-1.6*10^{-19}C$ , the number $n$ of electrons that make up -73pC $(-73*10^{-12}C)$ are

$n= \dfrac{-73*10^{-12}C}{-1.6*10^{-19}C/e}$

$\boxed{n= 4.56*10^8e.}$

Thus, the housefly lost about 456 million electrons to the surface!

Given a graph of volocity v . Time what does a horizontal line represent

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

For example, if the acceleration is zero, then the velocity-time graph is a horizontal line (i.e., the slope is zero). If the acceleration is positive, then the line is an upward sloping line (i.e., the slope is positive).
