Answer 2

Answer:

Blotting paper is made from the seed receptacles of sunflowers.

Explanation:

• A blotting paper is a kind of absorbent paper capable of absorbing extra liquid such as excess ink, water or oil from any surface by capillary action.

• Unlike plain paper or tissue papers, they are made up of extra-absorbent materials like rice, cotton, flax seeds and sunflower seed receptacles.

• The seed receptacle part of seeds in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) belongs to the largest ubiquitous family of flowering plants i.e. Asteraceae.

• The research studies have revealed the feasibility of making blotting paper out of used paper and sunflower seed receptacles and the effectiveness of the blotting paper.

• There exists a significant difference between the homemade sunflower seed receptacle-infused paper and plain paper.

• The studies have concluded that the sunflower is indeed feasible in making blotting paper since it absorbed the excess liquid from the ink.

Thus sunflower acts as an additive in making blotting papers.
