Spadix (botany) Typically, the stigmas are no longer receptive when pollen is released which prevents self-fertilization. We also have Compound Spadix Inflorescence in which the axis is branched. Usually whole Inflorescence is covered by a stiff boat shaped path for example- Coconut. Spadix (botany) In botany, a spadix ( ; plural spadices , ) is a type of spike inflorescence having small flowers borne on a fleshy stem. Spadices are typical of the family Araceae, the arums or aroids. The spadix is typically surrounded by a leaf-like curved bract known as a spathe. For example, the "flower" of the well known "Anthurium"
Decay energy Decay energy The decay energy is the energy released by a radioactive decay. Radioactive decay is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and radiation. This decay, or loss of energy, results in an atom of one type, called the parent nuclide transforming to an atom of a different type, called the daughter nuclide. The energy difference of the reactants is often written as "Q": Decay energy is usually quoted in terms of the energy units MeV (million electronvolts) or keV (thousand electronvolts). Types of radioactive decay include The decay energy is the
