Answer to Question 1

a) When the drop-down curtain begins to open in cold weather, the
incoming cold air enters above plants where it mixes with hot air before reaching
the plants. In a roll-up system the cold air enters directly on plants chilling those
close to the curtain. b) In a windy climate and a greenhouse with an overhead
sprinkler watering system, the roll-up curtain allows air to blow in on the plants
which could divert water from plants on the windward side.

Answer to Question 2

The trend is toward a higher proportion of passively cooled greenhouses.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
