Some plants such as orchid plant or strangler fig have roots above the ground, what do we call them? How do they get water to grow?

Answers

Answer:

1. They are called AERIAL ROOTS

2. Their aerial roots absorb water from the air and other plants.

Explanation:

Roots are generally used for anchorage and absorption in plants, however, they do not always grow below ground level as seen in most plants. Roots called AERIAL ROOTS grow into the air above the ground as observed in plants such as epiphytic orchids and strangler fig.

These plants i.e. orchids and figs get water to grow with the aid of the AERIAL ROOTS they possess. Aerial roots in orchids absorb water from the air while those in strangler figs absorb it from the plants they entangle.

What is one disadvantage of using a poster to present the information in “Stop Germs! Wash Your Hands”?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation!

Explanation:

A disadvantage of using a poster would that it may, potentially, go unnoticed. For example, if a poster was hung up in the busy halls of a school, the students may not take the time to study it because they are in a hurry to get to class.

Furthermore, most handwashing education takes place among younger children,  typically kindergarteners or 1st graders. If a poster was hung up in an elementary school with the goal of educating the younger kids, it may fail because many younger children do not know how to read yet. Hope this helps!

Answer:

to inform people of when, how, and why to wash their hands

Explanation:

most younger people should be more aware of this because when your young your immune system isnt fully developed and when you interact with door knobs/handles, controllers, etc. you are catching germs which is why it is important to always wash your hand before touching your mouth or face. so the answer is to inform people of when, how, and why to wash their hands

Marcia Amidon Lusted

Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn't understand why he didn't want to eat the gourmet food described on the school's online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn't convince them that the food wasn't as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader's Short Documentary About School Lunch

irritable or short tempered

Answers

Answer:

Well, irritable means you are like grumpy. Short tempered means you get made easily always, like a short fuse! It depends on what and why you need it. The less "harsh" term is irritable. The more harsh term is short tempered.

Explanation:

To put it in a better view, when you are grumpy, or irritable, when you are hungry or sleepy, you get mad or frustrated quickly. But, when you are short tempered, you have trouble keeping your anger down. This is when you have a "short fuse"  they like to say. Now these may look similar, but they are much different. The only common thing is you get angry, or upset real easy. The causes are much different. However, you can prevent one, irritable, by getting the right sleep, and eating a balanced meals! Sometimes you need practice or a counselor most of the time when dealing with a short temper . Not always though, friends could also help, along with family!

Read the paragraph. Then answer the items. Giraffes’ towering height is the key to their ability to survive in their often-dry habitat. It allows them to reach the tender leaves at the top of acacia trees. Because these leaves are about three-quarters water, they also provide moisture when there are no watering places nearby. Giraffes didn’t just decide to grow longer necks to reach these leaves! Over hundreds of generations, the tallest giraffes, who could reach more leaves, became healthier, lived longer, and had more offspring. Gradually, the average height increased.3. Paraphrase the rst two sentences of the text.4. Summarize the paragraph.

Answers

Answer:

he genus Acacia is well-represented in southern California parks and gardens with dozens of different species. In fact, it is one of the largest genera of trees and shrubs in the world, with nearly 800 species. It is rivaled in size by only a few woody genera, such as Ficus (1,000), Eucalyptus (500) and Cassia (500). Acacias are commonly cultivated throughout temperate, tropical and desert regions, and include numerous distinctive growth forms with a profusion of yellow or white flower clusters. Acacias also provide us with many useful products, from beautiful hardwoods to water-soluble gums used as a thickening agent in your favorite frozen dessert. In the wild, native acacias provide the food and habitats for a variety of animals, from hoofed mammals and birds to countless species of insects. Extensive browsing by giraffes can prune the understory branches of acacia trees. The characteristic flat-topped crowns of some species are genetically determined. For example, the widespread umbrella thorn (Acacia tortilis) on vast African savannahs is adapted to this environment. Apparently the exaggerated umbrella-shaped crown enables the trees to capture the maximum amount of sunlight, with the smallest of leaflets. Swollen thorn acacias of Central America and South Africa form one of nature's most remarkable symbiotic associations with ants.
