Question
Chapter 29.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The architecturalfeatures, which influences self-shading.
Introduction:
Theplants require sunlight for the derivation of the food in terms of stored chemical energy. The leaves are the organs, which traps the sunlight. The transpiration also occurs along with the process of photosynthesis. The water loss and effective sunlight trappingaremanaged by the plants through self-shading and architecturaldesign.

Touching a specialized caliper to the surface of the skin will measure the distance between two points that are perceived as distinct stimuli versus a single stimulus. The patient keeps their eyes closed while the examiner switches between using both points of the caliper or just one. The patient then must indicate whether one or two stimuli are in contact with the skin. Why is the distance between the caliper points closer on the fingertips as opposed to the palm of the hand? And what do you think the distance would be on the arm, or the shoulder?arrow_forwardIn attempting to discern distant details, people will sometimes squint. Why does this help?arrow_forward
