the waterdrops rollingoff a lotus ()leaf carry away dirt,leaving the surface perfectly clean.This phenomena has been namedthe "Lotus Effect"and works best on rough surfaces.Contrary to popular belief,lotus leaves are not smooth at all.When examined under a powerful microscopethe leaf cells show a bumpy surface.That makes the surface rough.As a result,dirt rests only on thetips of the war crystals ()covering the leaf surface.The roughness reduces the contact area between thedirt and the leaf surface.A rough surface structure with war crystals makes it impossible for water to stick.Due to the friction ()the water contracts at once.It forms round waterdrops to minimize the contactarea with the rough,wary leaf surface and runs off the leaf very quickly.Since the dirt only rests on thetips of the war crystals they stick more strongly to the waterdrops than to the leaf surfaces.They are washedaway when the water falls on the leaves.On smooth leaves,the dirt is pushed from one part of the leaf to the other.This is because the dirt has alarger contact area where they can rest comfortably on the flat surface.We must also keep in mind that waterusually spreads and only partially runs off the leaves-that too,only if the leaf is tilted!The dirt may getdriven,but they are mainly displaced from one side of the leaf to the other.Scientists say that the "Lotus Effect"is particularly beneficial for it helps to protect the lotus leaves fromharmful bacteria.The dirt on the leaves often contains tiny disease causing fungi and bacteria.While mostof the bacteria get washed off,the few that remain eventually die since they do not get the water they requirefor survival and growth.4.(Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked.People who wake up early
