The capsule contains spores. With the capsule located above the rest of the plant, the spores may be more easily spread to new sites by the wind, water, or passing animals.

What are the five layers of the biosphere?

The lowest is the troposphere, which is the layer that provides most of our weather. It contains about 80% of the Earth's air, but extends only to a height of about 11 miles (17 kilometers) at the Equator and less at the Poles. Above the troposphere is the stratosphere. It extends to a height of about 30 miles (50 kilometers) and includes the ozone layer. Above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. Meteors generally burn up in this layer, which extends to a height of about 52 miles (85 kilometers). Above the mesosphere is the thermosphere. It extends to about 430 miles (690 kilometers). The International Space Station and other low orbit satellites orbit within this layer. Space is widely accepted now as starting at 100km above sea level. The highest layer is the exosphere. This part of the Earth's atmosphere extends outward until it interacts with the solar wind. It ranges from 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) to 6,214 miles (10,000 kilometers) above the surface, where it merges with interplanetary space.

What is the difference between the ascending aorta and the thoracic aorta?

The ascending aorta extends from the aortic root (which connects the aorta to the heart), upwards toward the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is one of two parts of the descending aorta, which extends back down towards the abdomen after the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is the part of the descending aorta that is above the diaphragm, while the abdominal aorta is below the diaphragm.
