Hi all,

Need some advice on what greenhouse effect is and how it benefits plants. Does it also have negative and positive effects?

TIA

Hi
Green house effects is the amount of green house gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.These green house gases trap heat from the sun .As there are more green house gases in the atmosphere,more heat from the sun is trapped in the earth 's atmosphere.There is no positive effect on the plants due to the green house effect as far as i know.But,the negative effect is global warming an the rise of sea levels.

So bubble in boiling water at 100degrees can be considered as steam, hot water vapour and air? :scratchhead:

Answer key is 1 - is it correct ?

hi smurfalone,

yes ans is 1. (A and B)

A) flower will attract pollinators to it = promotes animal pollination.
B) flower has nectar = attracts animals to eat.
C) anther shorter than stigma = shows pollen grains will be brushed on animals when they are feeding on their nectar. (but pollen grains brushed on these animals will help to pollinate other flowers when the animals go to other flowers, not the same flower) D) stigma sticking out = shows stigma easily pollinated by wind.

so only A and B, ans = 1.

:thankyou: verykiasumummy
I agree with A, B and D but don't understand C (the part in red italics) as the question didn't mention pollinate the same flower.
