What is a pomegranate? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? What is a pomegranate? The pomegranate has a very interesting history. The ancient Greek myth tells that the pomegranate was exactly the fruit that Persephone ate in the kingdom of Hades. Because she ate six seeds, she had to spend six months every year in the underworld. For the Greeks, the juicy, multi-seeded pomegranate has always symbolized the forces of darkness. In China, the pomegranate was a symbol of fertility. As it is written in the Bible, King Solomon had a pomegranate garden. When the Israelites wandered the deserts, they really wanted pomegranates, which they were used to in Egypt. Muhammad advised his followers: "Eat the pomegranate, as it purifies the soul from envy and hatred." Thus, you are convinced that in the East in ancient times great importance was attached to the grenade. It is assumed that it comes from Persia, but since ancient times it has grown in the warm countries of southern Asia, northern Africa and southern Europe. It has now gained distribution in South and Central America and in the United States. Pomegranate grows on a shrub reaching a height of 1,5-6 meters. It has glossy leaves, and coral-red, waxy flowers grow at the ends of slender branches. The fruit is about the same size as an orange. It has a dense peel, painted in dark yellow with an admixture of red. There are many small seeds inside the fruit. They are covered with a sweet, red, juicy mass, which is often used in the manufacture of soft drinks. This juice is especially suitable for people living in hot, dry places. There are many varieties of pomegranate. One Moor more than 700 years ago described 10 different varieties that grew in Spain at that time! There are three main varieties cultivated in the United States. They have the names "Wonderful", "Paper Shell" and "Spanish Ruby". Author: Likum A.
How do we grow? All living things grow and develop: both in shape, size, how it is made, and in its purpose and capabilities. The most important forces that cause growth are contained within a living being from the moment of its inception. These forces are called heredity. Animals, including humans, have stages of growth and development. These include: the embryonic and uterine state, infancy, childhood, youth, maturity and old age. In some creatures, one can hardly speak of the period of infancy. For example, there are birds that can fly as soon as they hatch. A guinea pig is able to take care of itself three days after birth. But a person is not an adult until about 20 years old. At birth, a baby already has all the nerve cells that a person is supposed to have: cells of the brain and spinal cord and those that penetrate into all parts of his body. The development of connections between these nerve cells helps him learn to control his movements, learn about the world and behave in a way that is accepted in his society. So, all people are very similar in their development. But there are also important differences. Both boys and girls develop, of course, along the same general path, but still each of them has his own path and his own speed of development. In the first weeks of life, a person grows faster than ever. Even at the end of the first year of life, it develops more slowly. It grows at a moderate rate throughout childhood. Then again comes a period of intensive growth. For girls, this usually occurs at 11-13, for boys - at 12-14 years. They grow faster for a while until they reach their peak speed. Then growth slows down again until it stops altogether. This suggests that the person has reached the maximum size. Growth in height and weight gain often occur alternately in a person. First, for some time, it develops in height, then in width. For many people, somewhere between the ages of 11 and 12, the so-called "chubby" period begins. But in the following years, they begin to catch up in growth, and fatness passes.
