What colors do plants absorb best? Short answer: plant absorbs mostly “blue” and “red” light. They rarely absorb green for its mostly reflected by plant, that makes them green! Long answer : Photosynthesis is the ability of plants to absorb the energy of light, and convert it into energy for the plant. Do plants grow […]
What are natural esters?
What are natural esters? Natural esters are made from renewable natural sources, for example MIDEL eN 1204 (rapeseed/canola) and MIDEL eN 1215 (soybean). The base oil is chosen to give the best possible fit to the application; however unlike synthetic esters the properties of these base oils cannot be significantly altered. What are the main […]
How is Biosphere dependent on all the three spheres?
How is Biosphere dependent on all the three spheres? Answer: The atmosphere is the layer of air that stretches above the lithosphere. The Earth’s water—on the surface, in the ground, and in the air—makes up the hydrosphere. Since life exists on the ground, in the air, and in the water, the biosphere overlaps all these […]
What will be the magnetic field outside and inside a long current carrying solenoid?
What will be the magnetic field outside and inside a long current carrying solenoid? Outside the solenoid the magnetic field will be weak and the field lines will curl up to form closed loops. Hence, the magnetic field inside a solenoid carrying current will be the same at all the points. What is the value […]
How do you calculate half-life examples?
How do you calculate half-life examples? The quantity of radioactive nuclei at any given time will decrease to half as much in one half-life. For example, if there were 100g of Cf-251 in a sample at some time, after 800 years, there would be 50g of Cf-251 remaining. After another 800 years (1600 years total), […]
What will happen if the chloroplast stops working?
What will happen if the chloroplast stops working? because chloroplasts have chlorophyll, which absorbs energy from the sun. This energy is used for photosynthesis. it also can affect the whole process of photosynthesis the green plant will not be able to carry out the process of photosynthesis which means the plant will die. What will […]
What are the types of LDR?
What are the types of LDR? Light dependent resistors, LDRs or photoresistors fall into one of two types or categories: Intrinsic photoresistors: Intrinsic photoresistors use un-doped semiconductor materials including silicon or germanium. What is the purpose of LDR? An LDR is a component that has a (variable) resistance that changes with the light intensity that […]
What is the relationship between absorbance and concentration?
What is the relationship between absorbance and concentration? One factor that influences the absorbance of a sample is the concentration (c). The expectation would be that, as the concentration goes up, more radiation is absorbed and the absorbance goes up. Therefore, the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration. How do you calculate absorbance from […]
What does miasma mean in Greek?
What does miasma mean in Greek? In Greek mythology, a miasma is “a contagious power that has an independent life of its own. Until purged by the sacrificial death of the wrongdoer, society would be chronically infected by catastrophe.” An example is Atreus who invited his brother Thyestes to a delicious stew containing the bodies […]
