Question

Which tree yields resin and turpentine?

Answer 1

Hint: Turpentine is a resinous substance found in pine trees and other conifers. It is made up of a combination of resins and volatile oils. One of the pine trees used to make turpentine is Pinus longifolia. This gymnosperm belongs to the Pinaceae family.

Complete answer:
Turpentine, the resinous exudate or extract obtained from coniferous trees, particularly those of the genus Pinus, Turpentines are semifluid substances consisting of resins dissolved in a volatile oil; this mixture is separable by various distillation techniques into a volatile portion called oil (or spirit) of turpentine and a nonvolatile portion called rosin. Although turpentine used to refer to the entire oleoresinous exudate, it is now more generally used to refer to the volatile turpentine fraction, which has a variety of applications in industry and the visual arts.
Pinus wallichiana is the scientific name for blue pine. It is a commercial turpentine source. The wood is reasonably hard, long-lasting, and resin-rich. It's a good firewood, but it emits a strong resinous odour. Resin is a hydrocarbon secretion produced by many plants, notably coniferous trees, in the strictest sense of the term.
Resinous woods are typically found in the coniferous tree family. Their needles stay on the tree all year, and their fruit is in the shape of a cone (thus the term "coniferous" trees). Conifers such as cedar, pine, spruce, and balsam are well-known. Because resinous woods have a low density, they are easier to deal with.

Note:-
Turpentine oil is used to treat joint pain, muscular discomfort, nerve pain, and toothaches by applying it to the skin. People sometimes inhale the fumes of turpentine oil to relieve chest congestion associated with certain lung conditions. Dried turpentine oil is used as a flavour in foods and beverages.
