Question 79

Thunderstorm can be beneficial to plants because it
Show explanation Expand Question
Thunderstorms contribute to nitrogen fixation in the atmosphere. Lightning converts nitrogen gas into nitrates, which are deposited in the soil through rainfall, providing essential nutrients that promote plant growth.

Question 80

A flowering plant having both the male and female flowers on the same plant is said to be
Show explanation Expand Question
A monoecious plant bears both male and female flowers on the same individual, allowing self-pollination or cross-pollination. This contrasts with dioecious plants, which have male and female flowers on separate plants.
