CO is a fuel while N is not a fuel. There was a similar question that said Oxygen instead of Nitrogen. The fuels that I know are CO CH4 H2 all hydrocarbons and some others but N2 and O2 are defenatliy not a fuel

Shouldn't the answer be A? (nov. 2010)
View attachment 12301
Nope it should be B hydrated CoCl2 is pink and it is an exothermic reaction as forming of bonds will give energy. Steam will trick you as it will increase the temperature so the opposite reaction will have to be decrease but it doesn't depend on steam it depends if the bonds were broken or formed (y)

this is bcoz the flower shown in the picture isn't the full flower...it's the half flower and therefore in a full flower the stamens will be more than 4..

Hope that helps! :)

the male gametes are more than the female as there will be more pollens than egg cells. Even in the humans millions of sperms are produced for a few amount of egg cells which is usually one
Nov 2008 it is half of a flower so there will be some left in the other side that wasn't shown

You mean more pollen are landing on the stigma right so they will be more than the ovules inside. I got it !! Thanks A lot .
nope...i mean in sexual reproduction...flowers are either insect pollinated or wind pollinated...in insect pollinated flowers not all of the anthers/pollen grains reach the sticky stigma...some may be left over on the bodies of insects...which means that there are more pollen grains as some of them are lost!
same is the case with wind pollinated flowers....they are carried by wind so they can be scattered everwhere...

i hope this clears your doubt :unsure:

when they are carried by wind, in wind pollinated flowers or by insects in insect pollinated flowers!
bcoz not all of them reach the stigma....
mmm.... If this is your suggestion then more female , which I thought of . But that is wrong because more pollen will Land on stigma than the number of female gametes inside the ovary of the flowering plant , I think that's reasonable? I dunno, everyone has his own thinking .
