    How do pollinators get attracted to flowers?

    Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies For our ecology to survive and for food production to occur, pollination is essential. Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies. Brightly coloured petals in hues like yellow, red, and blue are designed to catch the attention of specific pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, each of which may be drawn to different colours. For the male reproductive cells (pollen) to reach the female reproductive parts (ovaries), all seed plants must be pollinated. This preserves genetic variation and enables the plants to generate seeds for species propagation. In order for pollinators to locate them, flowers have evolved to exhibit clues. In addition, pollinators are frequently compensated with nectar for the “service” they render. Many flowers also emit enticing fragrances that signal the presence of nectar, creating an appealing invitation for pollinators to…

      Why going close to an aircraft engine can be dangerous?

       Did you know that a jet engine sucks in about 1.2 tons of air per second during takeoff? That’s right. And if you get close enough to an operating engine, the same thrust can suck you into the airplane engine. The 9-foot-diameter fan in the engine rotates 2800 times a minute at take-off. In less than half a second, this turbine can suck in enough air to vacuum out the air in a four-bedroom house. Given this fact and the risk it poses, pilots and ground staff have a strictly curated set of guidelines that have to be followed when taking off and landing. Each airline develops its own safety procedures based on the engines they use. In most airlines,…
