Explanation

• In maize (Zea mays), the first structure to emerge from the seed during germination is the radical root.
• It is also known as the primary root.
• This root grows downward into the soil, anchoring the seedling and absorbing water and nutrients.

Explanation

• Sound travels fastest in diamond, with a speed of approximately 12,000 meters per second (m/s).
• This is because diamond has a very high stiffness and density, which allows sound waves to propagate quickly through the material.

The speeds of sound in different materials:

• Air: 343 m/s
• Water: 1433 m/s
• Wood: 3300-3600 m/s
• Brick: 4176 m/s
• Steel: 6100 m/s
• Diamond: 12000 m/s

Explanation

• Easily digested and absorbed
• Quickly converted into glucose
• Readily available for use by the body's cells

Explanation

In the Fahrenheit scale:

• The freezing point of water is 32°F
• The boiling point of water is 212°F

Explanation

• A translucent object allows some light to travel through it, but scatters or absorbs some of the light, making it semi-transparent.
• Examples: Frosted glass, wax paper, and tissue paper.

Transparent: Allows all light to pass through, providing a clear view. 

Opaque: Does not allow any light to pass through.
