Is this a correct food chain:sun,plant,corn,fly,frog,...

Flies don't eat corn, therefore your chain is incorrect. If you want to use corn, do sun, plant, corn, cow, human.. or if you want to use fly do sun, plant, cow, dung, fly, frog, snake, etc.


How does Mama's plant in "A Raisin in the sun" act as a symbol?

what does it symbolize and how does this contribute to the play?

Mama treats the plant, like one of her children, she nurtures it and wants to take it to a new house to live.


She believes it will survive in the poorest of soil, but knows it will truly flower in better soil.


In the last part of the movie, the family gets the better house in the better neighborhood and Mama, and family and plant move there.


I think the plant symbolizes hope for the future.

The plants are like her kids...... she has to take care of them not matter what, or else they will die, kinda like she has to put up with her kids, even if Beneatha made her angry about the God comment, she still has to take care of Beneatha no matter what..... the plants also symbolize growth, at the end of the story you'll c how the characters go through growth


Can a lamp replace the sun when growing plants inside???

I am a beginner gardener that wants to grow rosemary, lavender, etc indoors. i know that those plants (especially rosemary) needs plenty of sunlight, but i wont be able to give it to them. It is out of the question to grow them outside because of all the bad animals out there (they eat and mess up everything!!). the only alternative is to plant inside. i have a shade house. sunlight doesnt come through any of my windows, and id have to walk 30 feet from my house just to get some sun. i would like to know, since i wont be able to give my plants the right amount of sun and heat they'll need, cant i just shine a bright lamp on them a few hours a day to replace the sun??? please help me out!!

Can a lamp replace the sun when growing plants inside???
They make specific grow lamps for flourescent fixtures. Otherwise, any other bulbs give off the wrong spectrum of colors the plants need.





I've seen really pretty indoor planters with the light railings and everything. I did a quick search and found a light like what I told you at first.





Check Home Depot. They have the florescent grow bulbs. And, yes they do better and they do herbs better.
Reply:Yes, but only if you have florescent lighting or have plant or grow lights. I have a hard time with indoor plants when there is no good source of natural lighting. Good Luck
Reply:You Can Buy " Full Spectrum" Fluorescent Bulbs From Most Hardware(home depot ,lowes etc.)stores . If You Are Serious about growing inside go to www.hydroponics.com And you Can Research anything you need to Know About Growing Inside .... Oh Yes Hydroponics is used for much more than just Marijuana, There are Huge Vegetable Companies that Grow Alot Of Food You Buy At the Grocery store HYDROPONICALLY. Remember When You Grow Inside, You Are MOTHER NATURE you must provide Everything that a plant would get outside.O2, Co2, Light ,Wind, Food, H2O.
Reply:hell yeah it's called hydroponics.


mostly for growing marijuana, which i have nothing against
Reply:in the light bulb isle, get a grow bulb put in your lamp and there you go.happy gardening
Reply:Yes. My mom has a collection of exotic plants in her basement. She leaves the light on for them and they grow beautifully! She doesn't have any special bulbs for them.
Reply:Grow lights or flourescent lights should work.


Flourescent lights are much cheaper if you are on a budget.


Keep them about 6" from the seedlings and move them as the plants grow tallers.


Any supplemental sunlight from a window would be helpful.
Reply:Based on past experiences, I would say yes. I even used a flourescent buld and my ivy plany grew. It does not necessarily have to be a grow light.
Reply:you need to buy special light bulbs, they are commonly called grow lights, or full spectrum lights.

Chemisty Help!! Nuclear Power Plant & the Sun type questions?

I need to answer the same question for both the Nuclear Power Plant(Not Fossil Fueled) %26amp; the sun. I cant find them so I need help.





1)What are the fuel sources?


2)How is the fuel used to produce/release energy?


3)What are the similarities in the way they produce energy?


4)Are there any health hazards associated with the way they produce energy?


5)Why is energy released when the nuclear reactions take place? Talk about this using your research on the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together.





I will really appreicate it!!

Chemisty Help!! Nuclear Power Plant %26amp; the Sun type questions?
Nuclear power plant: Uranium, nuclear fission, both are nuclear reactions, radiation is hazardous, small amounts of mass are converted to energy.





Sun: hydrogen nuclear fusion, same answer, same answer, same answer.


What perennials can I plant now Aug21, that will bloom trough the fall,some into winter, for sun .?

some for shade and the area is warmer than usual we won't get any more rain in the napa valley area

What perennials can I plant now Aug21, that will bloom trough the fall,some into winter, for sun .?
Hi, I'm in the North East--- we plant Pansies in September... they often will bloom well into winter even past Christmas if it's mild enough... they are considered perennial but they don't make it in the high heat (90 and up) and are often treated as annuals in this area. But they do well with little water and ok in the shade.


I'm not sure they will be true perennials in in the Napa Valley area... but they would be worth a try as their blooms are awsome.


MUMS are true perennials.. and will bloom year after year. I would guess they would do very well in your climate.
Reply:Mums are the only thing I can think of. They bloom in the spring and in the fall. Despite what some might say, they grow quite well in shaded/partly shaded areas.
Reply:Mums are the best way to go. They also look very nice for Halloween.


Does potency of plant go with the sun (day): PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW............................

Is it true that if u have a vegetable garden and u want to use the vegetable for cooking the best time is to cut it from the plant is after 6am and before 6pm?





It is said that if u cut a plant to use, say aloe vera (straight from the plant) at night, it wont work because the plant has gone to sleep or because their is no more sun?

Does potency of plant go with the sun (day): PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW............................
Vegetables to be cooked on the day they're picked should be picked early in the morning before the sun heats them up (cooks them!), but after the dew is dry. For herbs and flowers, follow the same rule, but take a pail with lukewarm water with you, cut the herbs/flowers on a slant with sharp knife, and plunge into the water. When done, have vase ready with water and citric acid (Sprite works), cut flower stems again under water and put in vase. Take herbs out of pail and rinse well before using. For aloe, light makes no difference. There are some flowering plants and herbs which are more fragrant and/or potent early in the day.
Reply:It makes absolutely no difference to vegetables whenever you pick them. In France, market gardeners commonly harvest for market at DAWN. What the French do not know about fresh vegetables is not worth knowing. The only considerations would be, heavy rain, severe drought, or frozen ground.
Reply:It sounds very likely to me that some plants should be harvested during daytime, with herbs it makes sense.


I don't think the difference is that huige though.
Reply:The only thing i have heard in relation to this is that some plants which are grown for pharmaceutical purposes need to be harvested at certain times of the day. For example, the levels of morphine in an opium poppy is higher at certain times of day (e.g. early morning) than at others (e.g. late afternoon).





Not sure about cutting vegetables, although they do SEEM to taste better when they are warm from the sun, especially tomato or basil which have stronger flavours when harvested this way.
