Carrots

No, 2.2 kg is equal to approximately 4.85 pounds. So 2.2 kg of carrots is more than 1 pound of carrots.

Carrots prefer well-draining, sandy loam soil that is loose and free of rocks and debris. Soil that is too compacted or heavy in clay can hinder the growth of carrots. Adding organic matter such as compost can improve soil quality for growing healthy carrots.

Yes, carrots do have vacuoles. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in plant cells, including those in carrots. Vacuoles play important roles in storing nutrients, maintaining turgor pressure, and regulating cell size and shape.

One potential disadvantage of carrots is that they are high in natural sugars, which can be a concern for individuals monitoring their sugar intake, such as those with diabetes. Additionally, consuming very large quantities of carrots over a long period of time could potentially lead to a slight orange discoloration of the skin, known as carotenemia.

That is the same as askin why do people eat tomatoes? it could be because they like the taste and the healthiness (like me) or some believe it helps you see in the dark it is kind of open to interpretation really hope this helps =)

Carrots vary in length depending on such conditions as: location, care, age, soil nutrients, amount of water/sunlight received and they very individually. The average carrot length is about 20cm (just under 8 inches).

no it is a physical change

Carrots were not invented. Somewhere back in pre-history people found that wild roots were good to eat. As people began to choose the best and biggest roots to propagate, the wild carrot was developed into the carrot we know today.

Carrots are typically eaten for their edible root, which is the long, orange part that grows underground. Sometimes the leafy green tops of carrots are also consumed, but they are not as commonly eaten as the root.

Depends on the size of the carrot, one big carrot can weigh a pound or more, on the other hand lots of small carrots would be needed to make up a pound.

Carrots are not hybrids by nature; they are a naturally grown vegetable that has been cultivated over thousands of years through selective breeding to reach the varieties we see today. Hybrid varieties of carrots may exist, but the standard orange carrot is not considered a hybrid.

A can of peas and carrots is considered a mixture because it contains two or more distinct substances that are physically combined but not chemically bonded. The peas and carrots can be easily separated and retain their individual properties.

Yes, carrots do contain traces of iron along with other essential nutrients like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. While carrots are not a significant source of iron compared to other foods like red meat or spinach, they can still contribute to your overall iron intake as part of a balanced diet.

Yes, carrots grow underground. Carrots are root vegetables, which means that the edible part of the plant grows below the soil surface. The green tops that you see above ground are the carrot plant's leaves and do not form the part that is typically eaten.

Neither, they grow under the ground, with just the leaves being above ground. Each carrot is a separate plant.

you can usually dig around the sides to get an idea about the diameter of the carrot. Otherwise, we have been pulling ours after about 2 months (check the "days to maturity" on your seed pack) and you are usually pretty good. They stay good if left in the ground so you can harvest a single planting for a few weeks.

No, carrots do not engage in photosynthesis. They are heterotrophic plants, meaning they obtain their energy and nutrients from the soil through their roots rather than through photosynthesis like autotrophic plants.

i think it is vascular because it has roots

Some types of carrot are naturally small-growing, and others are just harvested early.

-- While this may have been true some time ago, the truth is that now nearly 100% of baby carrots sold in stores are regular full grown carrots which have been cut down to a small and somewhat uniform size.

Most of the carrots used to make baby carrots are ones which would have only been sold for animal feed or simply thrown away due to small cosmetic defects. By taking these carrots and cutting them down the farmers lose less of their crop while providing a healthy snack to us overeating Americans.

Yes

Owls don't typically eat carrots but in major starvation they will eat carrot though it is RARE
