The spines of the cactus have several functions, which are the following:

To defend them from possible predators: inside the body of the plants there is a great deal of water; if herbivores could access it, these plants would not survive.

To provide them with shade: it is true that not much, but it is enough so that the loss of water by evaporation is minimal.

Reflect sunlight: many species have white spines.

A scientist observes a cell under a microscope and notices that the cell’s cytoplasm is almost completely full of the rough endo
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Endoplasmic Reticulum is part of the endomembranous organnelles in a living eukaryotic cell. It is either found as smooth or rough depending on whether or not ribosomes are attached to their surfaces. The attachment of ribosomes (organnelles of protein synthesis) gives the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) its characteristic rough appearance.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, due to the attachment of ribosomes to it, performs a function related to protein synthesis. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum helps in the production and folding of proteins synthesized in the ribosomes attached to them.

Based on this, a cell whose cytoplasm is almost completely full of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum would be making proteins in large amounts since that is the primary function of the RER.

The Tasmanian tiger, the largest known carnivorous marsupial, was wiped out of the wild due to constant hunting:
Darya [45]

The statement is - True.

The Tasmanian tiger went extinct because of the extensive hunting by the new settlers. People were killing the Tasmanian tiger because they thought that it is the animal responsible for the killing of the livestock, but at the end it turned out that they made a huge mistake and that actually the feral dogs and the dingo were the ones responsible for that. The last Tasmanian tiger was a female and died in captivity under very bad conditions.

Even though people use the term Tasmanian tiger (because of the stripes) and Tasmanian wolf (because of the dog-like face), it is an animal that is not related with neither the cats nor the dogs, but instead it is a marsupial, the biggest marsupial carnivore in the recent history, and its real name is Thylacine.
