All this happens within 0.4 of a thousandth of a second.

Further Explanation

"Bunchberry Dogwood" flowers are only about one-tenth of an inch high (about 2.5 millimeters). Scientists know that this flower blooms in a very "explosive way." This is done by the flower to throw the pollen further.

The scientists decided to find out how fast this flower must have bloomed. So they decided to record the blooming process of this small flower with a high-speed camera that can record 1,000 images in one second. But the camera turned out to be too slow.

Only after using a camera that can take 10,000 pictures per second they can see what is happening clearly. They see the flower buds opening, and as it happens, the stamen (stamens) of the flower glide so fast that the pollen in the stalk flies into the air.

All this happens within 0.4 of a thousandth of a second. It was more than 100 times faster than the movement of the chameleon's tongue when it caught his lunch. The flower stamens glide so fast they exert a force of more than 2,400 times the gravity of pollen.

Pollen is a generative means of propagation and propagation of flowering plants. Pollen is a modification of sperm cells. Cytologically, pollen is a cell with three nuclei, each named a vegetative nucleus, generative nucleus I, and generative nucleus II. Cells in pollen are protected by two layers (called intine for the inside and exine in the outside) to prevent it from becoming dehydrated.

The rate that would change would be the searching efficiency/attack rate. there are only two other rates in this model: the growth rate of prey, and the predator or consumer mortality rate.the searching efficiency/attack rate is what indicates how effectively can a predator capture its prey whether in the searching process or actual capturing/attacking process.

Up until 1938, paleontologists accepted the idea that coelacanths (an ancient fish) went extinct at the time that they last appear in the fossil record, about 80 million years ago. but in 1938, a live coelacanth was discovered off the coast of south africa that was compared to the fossil record and found to be the same species what goal of science does this discovery represent
