Nits are actually the immature, larvae stage of lice, but the two words are often used interchangeably. A lice comb will remove both lice and nits. You can get one at any drug store. add a comment.
Photoperiodism is a response that certain plants have to decreases or increases in the amount they receive in a day (which is normally produced by seasonal movement of the su â¦ n-longer and shorter days).  Some plants require short days to initiate flower formation, while others long day length initiates flowering.
Plants absorb energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy. Herbivores get energy by eating plants while carnivores get energy by eating herbivores and other carnivores. Trace the energy back to the source and you arrive at the sun. But converting solar energy into electricity is tricky. Photovoltaics can do the trick. These are materials that can absorb photons -- the basic quantum units of light -- and convert them into electricity. Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect in 1839 while experimenting with an electrolytic cell.
