Can roots wrapped in plastic bag asborb water?

No. Roots wrapped in plastic bag cannot absorb water.


What food has the most plastic?

Seafood, particularly fish and shellfish, is often cited as having the most plastic contamination due to their ingestion of microplastics in polluted oceans. Studies have shown that various species, including mussels and oysters, can accumulate significant amounts of plastic particles. Additionally, processed foods packaged in plastic can leach microplastics, contributing to overall dietary exposure. Thus, both seafood and packaged foods can be significant sources of plastic in the human diet.


Will ice melt faster wrapped in plastic foil and aluminum foil and put it outside or if you put it inside?

The ice will melt faster if placed outside rather than inside, regardless of how it's wrapped, due to higher ambient temperatures. However, wrapping the ice in plastic foil and aluminum foil will provide some insulation to slow the melting process compared to leaving it unwrapped.


Why are telegraph cucumbers wrapped in plastic?

They are wrapped to increase shelf life of the cucumber as respiration of the fruit through its' thin skin will cause it to deteriorate and go soft. The wrap also protects the fruit from damage but that is a secondary benefit.


Why do food substances wrapped in polythene do not rot?

Food substances wrapped in polythene do not rot primarily because the plastic creates a barrier that limits exposure to air, moisture, and microorganisms, which are essential for the decomposition process. This lack of oxygen inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi that contribute to spoilage. However, while polythene can extend the shelf life of certain foods, it doesn't prevent spoilage indefinitely; some items may still degrade due to other factors like anaerobic bacteria or chemical reactions.
