The male and female flowers spring from the axils of the leaves on separate plants. The flowers of the male plant grow in panicles, 3 to 5 inches long, but are not cultivated. Only the female flowers are used for medicinal purposes. The fruit of the female plant are called strobiles and resemble small pine cones.
The atmosphere is composed of a mix of several different gases in differing amounts. The permanent gases whose percentages do not change from day to day are nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%.omposition of the Atmosphere extended definition. The atmosphere contains many gases, most in small amounts, including some pollutants and greenhouse gases. The most abundant gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen, with oxygen second.
[/caption]There are different gases in the atmosphere. Thereâs nitrogen (the most abundant of them all), oxygen, and argon. There are of course a lot more but theyâre no more than 1% of the entire atmosphere. Among the minority are the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide being the most prominent of them all. These gases are presently cast as harmful to the planet, being the primary cause of global warming. Of course, theyâre only harmful because theyâve exceeded their ideal levels.
