AI Thread Summary
Environmental events that can trigger seed germination and growth into wildflowers include smoke from wildfires and specific weather conditions. Smoke acts as a chemical cue that signals seeds to germinate, while weather factors like temperature and moisture levels also play a crucial role. The term "wildflower" refers to flowers that grow naturally in their environment, distinguishing them from cultivated varieties. Understanding these triggers clarifies how seeds transition from dormancy to active growth in natural settings. This knowledge is essential for comprehending plant ecology and the dynamics of wildflower populations.

List 2 enviromental events that might have triggered seed germination and growth into wild flowers


The Attempt at a Solution



I thought smoke from wild fires was a cue however I was told it has to do with the weather

The wild flower part is throwing me off, how all of a sudden a seed from a plant germinates and grows into a wild flower..not natural

A wild flower just means a flower growing in the wild, like one in a meadow or forest, rather than a cultivated one, like you might plant in your garden. Is that what was giving you difficulty?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
