The Wind and the Sun

The wind and the sun argued one day over which one was the stronger. Spotting a man traveling on the road, they sported a challenge to see which one could remove the coat from the man's back the quickest. The wind began the challenge. He blew strong gusts of air, so strong that the man could barely walk against them. But the man clutched his coat tight against him. The wind blew harder and longer, and the harder the wind blew, the tighter the man held his coat against him. The wind blew again and again until he was exhausted, but he could not remove the coat from the man's back. It was now the sun's turn. He gently sent his beams upon the traveler. The sun did very little, but quietly shone upon his head and back until the man became so warm that he took off his coat and headed for the nearest shade tree.

Cells

Simple tissues are also referred to as ground tissues. They include the tissues known as parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Parenchyma tissue is composed of parenchyma cells, which are found throughout the plant. They are particularly abundant in the stems and roots. The leaf cells that carry out photosynthesis are also parenchyma cells. Unlike many other plant cells, parenchyma cells are alive at maturity and retain the ability to divide. They perform many functions. Some are specialized for photosynthesis, others for storage, and still others for secretion and transport. An important class of parenchyma cells makes growth tissues called meristem and cambium. These tissues give rise to all other tissues in the plant body.

Like parenchyma cells, collenchyma cells are alive at maturity. They differ from parenchyma cells in that they have thick cell walls. Collenchyma tissue is most often found in the form of strands or cylinders of cells in stems and leaves. The thick cell walls of collenchyma cells provide support to these plant structures. The strands of tissue in celery are collenchyma tissues.

cellsb. The forms of parenchyma cellsc. The forms of collenchyma cellsd. The functions of collenchyma cellse. The characteristics of collenchyma

Making Paper from Woodchips

Wood chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees. The wood chipping process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest called a coupe. Next the tops and branches of the tress are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill.

At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called wood chips. The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage, they are either exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat. The pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed. Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.21. The text describes the process of ……

FacsimileFacsimile, often called fax, is away of transmitting

texts and pictures over telephone lines. News services often use facsimile to send news, stories, and photographs to newspaper and television stations. Banks, law firms and other businesses use facsimile to send copies of document, to clients and other organization.

A device called a facsimile machine is used for transmitting and receiving images. Facsimile machines resemble small photocopiers. However, they are equipped with a telephone or are connected to one. To send a document, the user inserts it into the machine and dials the telephone number of the receiving fax machine. After the connection is made, an electronic scanner on the transmitting machine moves across the page and converts the image a set of electric signals. These signals travel over the telephone line to the receiving fax machine. That machine converts the electric signals back into an image of the original document and then prints a copy.

Some business people use small desktop fax machines or portable models at home or when they travel. A personal computer can also be used to send and receive documents if it is equipped with a special electronic circuit board called a fax board.26. What is the main information in the second
