I’m sorry for everything I’ve done so far. I hope to rectify it soon.
So I didn’t have an internet connection anymore, and working this site on my phone is harder than you would think.
But we moved! To a much nicer place and now we have free internet service. Ok, on with the business!
why do stramberries go green white red instead of just green red like other plants?
Stramberries…stramberries…don’t know if I’ve heard of those. Just kidding. They turn red because the surface and contents of the strawberry absorbs all colors of light but red light. So they look red. Same for the green and white times. It simply is a literal reflection of the light-absorbing properties of the fruit in different stages. Bell Peppers grow green, then orange, then red, then yellow.
explain grafted cactus.
This is the answer from an expert:
“In order for a graft to be successful, meristematic tissue must develop between the stock and scion, and differentiate into vascular tissues (xylem and phloem). Initially, undifferentiated “callus” cells grow from the vascular cambiums of the stock and the scion. These cells form a callus bridge between the stock and scion and intermingle as they proliferate. If the cells are incompatible, this intermingling does not occur and the graft fails. If the cells are compatible, this bridge of callus differentiates into vascular cambium and vascular tissues. The vascular connection between the stock and scion allows for the translocation of water, mineral nutrition, carbohydrates and other metabolites. Well-formed graft unions are structurally sound, and are no more likely to break than other portions of the stem.”
Basically, all plantts can graft so long as the tissues are similar enough, and it happens all the time naturally. I grew up with 2 live oak trees that were grafted at the base because they grew to close to each other.
have you ever seen a lithops?
No, they are very common in Africa, where I have never been. It’s an interesting plant, but not all that bizarre in that it simply looks like a stone in visual texture.
you know when your phone vibrates in your pocket, and you check it and it didnt really vibrate? is there a word for that feeling?
Urban Dictionary suggests many, most are lame or overly clever. I figure most people would relate to a good joke you can make about your phone pranking you or just wanting your attention. What really bugs me is the feeling of my phone vibrating or hearing the text sound when I don’t even have my phone! I’ll be in the shower, or in a pool, or asleep and feel it alerting me of something against my leg. Probably some kind of hypnosis, paranoia, or cocktail party effect.
As far as emotional creatures go, do you think Chimps or Elephants or more sentimental?
I would suggest that Chimps are, simply since they are more intellegent overall. I have also known cows to cry at personal tragedy. So I can’t say really. Maybe if I had a few chimp and elephant friends, I could better understand!
What’s the diffrence between Regular Heinz Ketchup and Whataburger Ketchup?
Heinz’s: tomato concentrate made from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavors
Whataburger’s “Fancy Ketchup”: Tomato concentrate (tomato paste, water), corn syrup, sugar, distilled vinegar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and natural flavor.
Bear in mind that “Natural flavors” are proprietary contents, so nobody really knows(not even the FDA) what is in them. It has more High Fructose Corn Syrup and extra sugar, which is the key to fast food success–the combination of sweet and salty with a pleasing texture. It is appealing, but dangerous as it is a combination of extremes with no real requirements for nutrition.
I really dig Whataburger’s Fancy Ketchup. Especially the tubs it comes in.
I will be back in business now, so please–ASK AWAY.
