PLANT VARIETY-EPIPHYTIC AND PARASITIC PLANTS.

  EPIPHYTIC  AND  PARASITIC PLANTS  GROW  ON  OTHER LIVING  PLANTS.Typically  , epiphytic   plants  are  not  rooted  in  the  soil , instead  ,  they  live  above the  ground   level  on  the  stems  and  branches  of  other plants.Epiphytes    obtain  water  from  trapped  rain  water   and  from  moisture  in  the  air ,  and  minerals  from  organic  matter  that  has  accumulated on  the  surface   of  the plant  on which   they  are  growing .Like  other  green   plants ,  epiphytes  produce  their  food   by  photosynthesis. Epiphytes  include  tropical  orchids    and  bromel...

SPACE-THE MILKY WAY

  THE  MILKY  WAY  IS  THE  NAME   GIVEN  TO   THE  FAINT  BAND  OF  LIGHT  that  stretches   across  the  night  sky . This  light   comes    from   stars  and nebulae in  our  galaxy,  known  as  the   Milky   way  Galaxy  or  simply   as  the  "Galaxy".The  Galaxy  is  shaped    like a  spiral ,   with  a  dense   central  bulge  that  is encircled   by  four  arms   spiraling    outwards   and  surrounded  by a  less  dense  halo.We  can  not  see the spiral  shape  because   the  Solar system  is  in  one  of  the  spiral...

SPACE-GALAXIES

  A  GALAXY  IS    A  HUGE   MASS    OF  STARS , nebulae,   and  interstellar    material .The  smallest    Galaxies    contain  about   100,000  stars ,  while  the  largest  contain  up  to   3,000   billion  stars . There  are  three   main  types   of  Galaxy , classified  according    to  their  shape ;elliptical  ,which    are  oval  shaped; spiral, which  have   arms  spiraling  outwards   from  a  central  bulge; and  irregular, which   have  no  obvious  shape .Some times ,  the   shape  of  a  galaxy   is  distorted  by  by  a  collision...

SPACE-THE SOLAR SYSTEM

  THE  SOLAR  SYSTEM  consists   of  a  central   star  (the  sun) and  the  bodies that  orbit  it.These  bodies  include  nine  planets   and  their  61  moons ;asteroids ,comets,and  meteoroids.The  solar  system  also   contain  interplanetary    gas  and  dust.Most of  the  planets   fall  into  two  groups ;four  small   rocky   planets  near  the  sun (Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,)  and  four planets    further  out ,  the  gas  giants(Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus, and  Neptune.)Pluto  is  the  outermost  planet , except  when  it  passes  briefly   inside  Neptune's   orbit.Between  the rocky planets...

SPACE-ASTEROIDS,COMETS,AND METEOROIDS

  ASTEROIDS,COMETS,AND  METEOROIDS  are   all   debris  remaining  from  the    nebula  in  which   the Solar  System   formed 4.6  billions  years  ago.Asteroids  are  rocky   bodies   up  to  about  1,000  km  in  diameter  ,  although     most  are   much  smaller .Most  of  them  orbit    the  Sun    in  the asteroids   belts,  which lies   between   the  orbit     of  mars  and Jupiter.Comets   may  originate  in    huge   cloud (called  the   ourt cloud),  that  is  thought  to   surround   the  Solar System .They  are made  of  frozen...

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans . These systems can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI encompasses a wide range of technologies, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing.     Simulation of Human Intelligence: AI aims to create machines that can mimic human cognitive functions, like learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.   Algorithms and Models: AI systems rely on algorithms and models that analyze data, identify patterns, and make decisions based on that analysis.   Learning and Adaptation: A core aspect of AI is its ability to learn from experience and adapt to new inputs, allowing it to improve its performance over time.   Wide Range of Applications : AI has diverse applications, from virtual assistants and recommendation syste...

THE DINOSAURS

  THE   DINOSAURS   WERE  A  LARGE  GROUP  of   reptiles  that   were  the  dominant    land   vertebrates  (animals  with  backbones),  for  most  of  the Mesozoic   era(245-65  million  years  ago). They   appeared   some  250   million  years  ago    and  were  distinguished  from  other scaly ,  egg  laying   reptiles   by  an  important  feature ; dinosaurs  had   erect   limb   stance .This   enabled  them     to keep   their  bodies   well   above  the  ground ,  unlike  the  sprawling   and  semi sprawling     stance  of  oth...
