Food security is the availability of food to everyone at all the time and at a reasonable prices. All nutrients and health factors that comes from food is very important and all these cannot be extracted from a single plant. We need a combination of plants to get all the energy required and also maintain a balance in nature so that the plant does not become extinct. So if we use a variety of plants we can create that balance in nature and also stay healthy and fit, Hence variety in plants is important for food security.
Identify and briefly discuss five reasons why the number, variety, and impact of security incidents is increasing
Define food security and the varying levels (low and very low food insecurity). Define food insecurity. Why is hunger such a problem in the U.S? What are some of the food programs directed to relieving hunger in the U.S.? Did you, or any family members, grow up with food insecurity and how did it affect you, or them?
3. Only 4% of clover plants are of the four-leaf variety. You will pick clover plants at random until you find a four-leaf clover.
Determine if the following statement is true or false, and why: We use plants in many facets of our society; they are used for medicine, building, food, and clothing A. False, we do not use plants for medicine. OB. All are true. C. False, we do not use plants for building. D. False, we do not use plants for clothing.
the food and agricultral orginazation identifes all of the following as dinensions of food security except:
The amount of leaf protein (mg/g fresh weight) in soybean plants of a particular variety was determined for a sample of six plants, yielding the following data: 12.9, 15.5, 13.2, 7.5, 6.1, 8.9 Compute: The standard deviation
The amount of leaf protein (mg/g fresh weight) in soybean plants of a particular variety was determined for a sample of six plants, yielding the following data: 7.62 7.33 9.54 4.53 499 0.77 Compute the sample mean (average)
The practice of Conuco, involves growing a variety of compatible plants in a relatively small area. This is also called 1) Monoculture. O2) Polyculture 3) Paraculture 4) Fair trade
What is food security? What steps can be taken in the world to reduce the burden of hunger? Why has this never been achieved in a world that has attained major technological advances? Contrast three consequences of under nutrition with three consequences of over nutrition. Please provide references
. Describe why CAM plants have an advantage over C3 plants in the desert and why C4 plants have an advantage over C3 plants in tropical climates. (Be sure to discuss the relevance of photosynthetic enzymes and their location, photorespiration, water use efficiency, and stomatal behavior and leaf anatomy.) 4. Thinking about anatomy, morphology, and “behavior” describe ways that plant leaves are adapted to intercepting light, increasing CO2 diffusion while reducing water loss. 5. In general terms, describe the characteristics...
