A plant needs sunlicht, carbon dioxide, minerals an watter for tae mak fuid. A green substance in plants cried chlorophyll traps the energy frae the Sun needed tae mak fuid. Chlorophyll is maistly fund in leafs, athin plastids, that are athin the leaf cells. The leaf can be thocht o as a fuid factory. Leafs o plants vary in shape an size, but thay are aye the plant organ best suited tae fang solar energy. Ance the fuid is made in the leaf, it is transportit tae the ither pairts o the plant sic as stocks an ruits.
Plants can reproduce in different kinds ay ways. Some plants uise seeds, an ithers uise cones. Maist flouerin plants develop fruit frae thair flouers, that then graw aroond thair seeds.

Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is the simplest peroxide (a compoond wi an oxygen-oxygen single bond). It is an aa a strang oxidizer. Hydrogen peroxide is a clear liquid, slichtly mair viscous than watter. In dilute solution, it appears colorless. Contrary tae belief it daes nae cure acne. Due tae its oxidizin properties, hydrogen peroxide is eften uised as a bleach or cleanin agent. The oxidizin capacity o hydrogen peroxide is sae strang that it is considered a heichly reactive oxygen species. Concentratit hydrogen peroxide, or 'heich-test peroxide', is tharefore uised as a propellant in racketry. Organisms an aa naiturally produce hydrogen peroxide as a bi-product o oxidative metabolism. Consequently, nearly aw livin things (specifically, aw obligate an facultative aerobes) possess enzymes kent as catalase peroxidases, which hairmlessly an catalytically decompose law concentrations o hydrogen peroxide tae watter an oxygen.
At ane time, the maist common hoosehauld uise o hydrogen peroxide wis tae disinfect woonds, but it's nou thoucht nae anly tae be ineffective, but tae slaw healin bi damagin human tissue. Surgical uise can lead tae gas embolism formation, e.g.
Claims that dilutit hydrogen peroxide mey be taken intravenously or even orally, for treatin various sicknesses includin cancer hae been shawn tae be "Fraudulent, Dangerous, an Illegal", uisin "misbrandin" an leid explicitly prohibitit bi the Code o Federal Regulations, an hae caused several cases o daith. An organisation o doctors advocatin thir practices haes been shut doun bi the FDA, anither, wi seemilar publications, haes been absorbed intae the 'American College for Advancement in Medicine' (ACAM), a group advocatin dangerous an dubious Chelation therapy
Hydrogen peroxide haes been uised for creatin home made bombs, an reportit tae be a major ingredient in the 7 Julie 2005 Lunnon bombins.

Scota
Scota, in Erse meethologie, Scots meethologie, an pseudohistory, is the name gien tae the Wyffe o Geytholos an tae hees Mither, twa different meethological dochters o twa different Egyptian Pharaohs tae whom the Gaels tracit their ancestry, allegedly explainin the name Scoti, applee'd bi the Romans tae Erse raiders, an later tae the Erse invaders o Argyll an Caledonie which became kent as Scotland.
Early sources
Edward J. Cowan haes tracit the first appearance o Scota in leeteratur tae the 12t century. Scota appears in the Erse chronicle Book of Leinster (conteenin a redaction o the Lebor Gabála Érenn). Housomeivver a recension foond in a 11t-century manuscript o the Historia Brittonum conteens an earlier reference tae Scota. The 12t-century sources state that Scota wis the dochter o a Egyptian pharaoh, a contemporar o Moses, who marriet Geytholos (Goídel Glas) an became the eponymous foonders o the Scots an Gaels Efter bein exiled frae Egyp. The earliest Scots sources claim Geytholos wis "a certain keeng o the kintras o Greece, Neolus, or Heolaus, by name", while the Lebor Gabála Érenn Leinster redaction in contrast describes him as a Scythie. Ither manuscripts o the Lebor Gabála Érenn conteen a variant legend o Scota's husband, no as Goídel Glas but insteid Mil Espaine an connect him tae Auncient Iberie. Anither variant meeth in the redactions o the Lebor Gabála Érenn state that thare wis anither Scota who wis the dochter o a Egyptian Pharaoh namit Cingris, a name foond anerly in Erse legend. She marriet Niul, son o Fenius Farsaid, a Babylonie who travelled tae Scythie efter the collapse o the Touer o Babel. Niul wis a scholar o leids, an wis invitit bi the pharaoh tae Egyp an gien Scota's haund in marriage. They haed a son, Goídel Glas, the eponymous ancestor o the Gaels, who creatit the Gaelic leid bi combinin the best featurs o the 72 leids then in existence. See an aw Geoffrey Keating. Awtho these legends vary, they aw gree that Scota wis the eponymous foonder o the Scots an that she gave her name tae Scotland an aw.
Scota an the Stane o Scone
Baldred Bisset is first creditit tae hae fused the Stane o Scone wi the Scota foondation legends in his Processus (1301) puttin forrit an argument that it wis Scotland an no Ireland which wis the oreeginal Scoti hameland.
Bisset wis keen tae legitimise a Scots (as opposed tae Inglis) accession tae the throne efter Alexander III o Scotland dee'd in 1286. Alexander hissel at his coronation in 1249 heard his ryal genealogie recitit back throu 56 generations tae Scota. Bisset tharefore attemptit tae legitimise a Scots accession bi makkin Scota significant, as haein transportit the Stane o Scone frae Egyp durin the exodus o Moses tae Scotland. In 1296 the Stane itsel wis captured bi Edward I an taken tae Wastmeenster Abbey. Robert the Bruce in 1323 uised Bisset's same legend connectin Scota tae the stane in attempt tae get the stane back tae Scotland's Scone Abbey.
The 15t-century Inglis chronicler John Hardyng later attemptit tae debunk Bisset's claims.
Later sources
Andrew o Wyntoun's Orygynale Cronykil of Scotland an John o Fordun's Chronica Gentis Scotorum (1385) are considered major sources on the Scota legends, alangside Thomas Grey's Scalacronica (1362). Walter Bower's 15t century Scotichronicon includit the first picturs o the legends. Hector Boece in his 16t century Historia Gentis Scotorum ("History o the Scots Fowk") mentions Scota an the foondation meeth an aw.
