It is important to put the bundles of asparagus in water. This is because the asparagus will wilt with its water source (the roots) removed. By putting the asparagus’ cut bottoms into water, water will be transported through its vascular tissue systems to the stems and leaves. Then, the asparagus will be able to photosynthesize with the water supply, sunlight, and carbon dioxide, and make food to function. Then, the meristematic regions of the asparagus (plant tips) will have undifferentiated cells to grow and divide, eventually allowing the plant grow and elongate (if the asparagus is kept in water for a long period of time).

Carcinogens are any environmental factors that cause cancer. Some examples of carcinogens are tobacco smoke, radiation, certain chemicals in plastics, and certain viruses such as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) or Hepatitis B. Although cancer is not predictable, people should limit their exposure to carcinogens. Thus, I would suggest the customer to avoid carcinogens such as tanning or exposure to sun for long periods of time, and suggest to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher during their trip to …show more content…
The risks could include personal and family medical history, excessive exposure to carcinogens in the environment, and some lifestyle choices. Besides avoiding tobacco smoke, exposure to radiation such as X-Rays and UV rays from tanning beds and sunlight, and other carcinogens, a healthy diet including a lot of fruits and vegetables and less fatty meat may help. A diet of “super foods” contains substances that help protect your body from cancers. Some “super foods” include tomatoes, carrots, avocados, broccoli, garlic, nuts, cabbage, and raspberries. Regular cancer screenings can also increase the chance of treating cancer successfully if discovered. Pap tests, PSA tests, blood tests, etc. are some examples of cancer screenings. In addition, reducing the amount of alcohol consumption can reduce the risk of some cancers such as kidney or liver cancer. Also, regular exercise can aid weight loss and control your blood pressure and sugar levels. This can lower the risk of cancer as
