How does one build up stamina for exercising?

I used to be able to play basketball or baseball for 2-3 hours without needing any much of a break except water here and there. I stopped playing all sports for about a year and I was wondering how could one regain this stamina or energy. I am usually out of breathe after 20-30minutes of playing.

How does one build up stamina for exercising?
You just need to increase your time level of exercise a little at a time. Set a goal of 30 minutes of activity and increase it by 5 minutes each day, or couple of days, depending on your preference and comfort level. Also, make sure that you are drinking lots of water before, during, and after exercise. Water gives you energy and keeps you hydrated enough to build up your stamina. Be sure you're eating healthy outside of your exercise activity - if you load up on carbs, your energy will be good for about 20-30 minutes, but then you'll most likely feel a decrease in energy/stamina. You need to supplement your body with proteins prior to exercise, and in your daily diet. Good luck to you, I'm sure you'll get back into it in no time! :)

Reply:Sports requires bursts of energy...what you need to do is increase your aerobic exercises like walking, running, biking...work on getting your heartrate up and keep it up for 20 - 30 minutes. You'll need to push yourself so when you're walking...walk for 10 minutes and then run for as long as you can and then walk 10 minutes....run for as long as you can until the running and walking are of equal time or the running outlasts the walking. If you're indoors on a treadmill make yourself go uphill a little and keep increasing the speed....you'll get there. Oh, be sure to eat good healthy foods and make sure you are getting enough iron in your food.

The passion flower has a biblical story represented by the petals and stamen does anybody know this story ?

yes





The story relates that in 1609 Jacomo Bosio, a monastic scholar, was working on his extensive treatise on the Cross of Calvary, when an Augustan friar, Emmanuel de Villegas, a Mexican by birth, arrived in Rome





Bosio’s passion flower shows the crown of thorns (corona filaments) twisted and plaited, the three nails (stigma) and the column of the flagellation just as they appear on ecclesiastical banners. He writes that the insides of the petals are tawny in Peru, but in New Spain they are white tinged with rose-pink, the crown of thorns having a blood red fringe, suggesting the ‘Scourge with which our blessed LORD was tormented’. He describes ‘the column [androgynophore] rising in the centre of the flower surrounded by the thorn of crowns, the three nails at the top of the column. In between, near the base of the column is a yellow colour about the size of a reale, in which there are five spots or stains [stamens] of the hue of blood evidently setting forth five wounds received by our LORD on the cross’.








The rest of the story is on this site:


Does a flower really need to hold a pistil on its stamen in order to force it to pollinate?

Couldn't they work this out without armed violence?

Does a flower really need to hold a pistil on its stamen in order to force it to pollinate?
Here's the latest buzz! The anther to this question has a stigma attached to it, so I will try to be unpolitical about it ovule might get a pollination notice. We all know there is a seedy side to the plant world. (Hehe, there is a Morph-ia in my flower bed.)

What 2 parts make up the stamen in a plant??

What are both of their functions??

What 2 parts make up the stamen in a plant??
anther- pollen containing sac that sits on top of the filament (allows pollen access to pollinators)


filament- slender, thread-like structure


What advantage to diversity are the position of the pistil and stamen?

the pistil or carpel is in the middle of the flower so that it id the first thing the insect gets to when pollinating


the stamens are at the side so that the bee rubs against them when reaching for the nectaries

What advantage to diversity are the position of the pistil and stamen?
You are asking about the relative positions of the stigma and the anthers ... this position is important in maximizing cross-pollination and thus maintaining genetic diversity. Plants do this in various ways. Here are a couple of examples:


1. At least some species of the Lipstick Plant (Gesneriaceae) have flowers with the anthers at the top of the tubular flower while they release their pollen (which is picked up on the heads of pollinators -- see pic at link), then the style moves up into the same position while the stamens drop down. Now the stigma is receptive to pollen on the heads of other pollinators that have visited flowers at the earlier stage. You can see the swap taking place in the top pic at the second link.


2. Distyly -- this is where a species has flowers of two different kinds, one with long styles and short stamens and another with short styles and long stamens. The thing is that the short style needs pollen from the short stamens and the long style needs pollen from the long stamens. There are some nice pics of the two kinds most of the way down the page at the 3rd link (yellow flowers).


What is the stalk of a stamen?

It's called a filament. You can find a complete flower with all of the parts labeled here:

What is the stalk of a stamen?
It's called a "filament" - the little thing on the top is called the "anther"
Reply:It is a long stick like sructure, also called filament on which the anther consisting of pollen sacs are present.

Well when I spill my Stamen I wash me undies in the washer.

the same way i get the stains out of the curtains ... love me gunks dry now.... clean it up!!!!
Reply:Hi Cass,





Soak it in a hot solution made up from Oxi-Clean. Vanish won't do it. I've used Oxi-Clean though, and it works quite well. I had stamen pollen (from lillies) on a jumper, and it came out perfectly.

What would you find ina plant anther or stamen?

The stamen is the general term for the plant's male reproductive organs, including the anther and the filament, the stalk the anther is on. The anther just holds the pollen of the flower.





Hope that helps!

What would you find ina plant anther or stamen?
The stamen consists of a filament which is a stalk to support the anther. The anther is the male reproductive organ of the flowering plant. It produces the pollen used to fertilise seeds in flowers of the same species.

Reply:The flower
Reply:the pistil is female part containing the stigma,style, and ovary. the stamen is the male part containing the anther and filament. both are within the corolla which is part of the perianth


Why would cross fertilization happen more if the stamen and pistol matured at different times?

im so lost can you explain it to me?


THANKS

Why would cross fertilization happen more if the stamen and pistol matured at different times?
Because the plant would not have the ability to self-polinate if it did not have both its stamen and pistol at the same time (the stamen and pistol are for plants much like human reproductive organs are for us- you need both for reproduction)





Lacking both a stamen and pistol, the only way a plant can reproduce is with another plant.

How many stigma, anther, and stamen are ona dogwood flower?

I am doing a lab write up and need to know about the anatomy of a dogwood flower.

How many stigma, anther, and stamen are ona dogwood flower?
Cornus species have


4 or 5 sepals


4 or 5 petals


4 to 10 stamens


Inferior gynoecium with 2 carpels
Reply:Dogwood flower or Cornus florida, family: Cornaceae has 4 stamens,4 anthers and one stigma.
Reply:i believe its 13
Reply:The Dogwood flower is a small flower cluster. The flower cluster is surrounded by 4 large showy bracts that are often mistaken as petals. The four white "petals" aren't petals at all, but rather bracts, which are modified leaves. The actual flowers are the tiny greenish-yellow objects in the center of the thing people usually call dogwood flowers, but which is actually a flowering head. When the early spring flowers seem to present themselves before the leaves come out, they are actually modified leaves.


When the bracts of the dogwood flower are fully open, they measure about two inches in diameter. Flowering dogwood blooms in either white or pink, depending on the cultivar. Some of the white Dogwood flower cultivars are ‘Barton’, Cherokee Princes’, ‘Plena’, ‘Cherokee Daybreak’, and the White Flowering Dogwood (Cornus Florida). The pink and red Dogwood flower is exhibited by cultivars such as ‘Cherokee Chief’, ‘Cherokee Sunset’ and ‘Stokes Pink’.





All dogwoods are potential flower producers; however, trees grown from seed vary in the age at which they begin flowering. Fast growers will usually be delayed in beginning the flowering cycle. Those which produce an abundance of Dogwood flowers and follow up with a heavy berry crop will likely produce a small number of flowers the next year. Also, trees located in heavy shade tend to produce fewer flowers than those in full sun. Dogwood flower buds are quite evident in September; therefore, it is possible to predict the number of flowers that will be produced the next spring.





The Dogwood tree and the Dogwood flower are beautiful harbingers of spring and are the state flower of Virginia and North Carolina.

How to remove lilly stamen marks?

I had some lilly's in our new kitchen, and they have fallen off and marked our new tiles and white grouting. It looks such a mess and I cannot get it off, it has also marked the stainless steel drainer.


Does anyone know what might remove it please?

How to remove lilly stamen marks?
White grouting can be bleached (not great to do it frequently, but ok occaaionally) simply put bleach on a toothbrush and rub on.





Good luck

I bought a dozen Yellow Roses, but only ONE of the 12 roses had visible stamen inside. Is this normal? Why?

I guess my questions are:





-why only 1 of them had lots of visible stamen?


-Is it because it's not a rose?





A picture can be provided upon request.





Thanks,





Peter
