The correct answer is (b) The Sun's rays are more concentrated at the equator

The rays at the equator are more concentrated and as a result of this the equator is warmer than the pole. The hotness of the place depends on the angle by which the sun ray falls on it. When the sun ray falls on the equator then the angle made by the sun at equator is 90 degree. This means that the sun rays are concentrated. But at poles the angle by which the rays fall is relatively shallow and the rays gets separated over a large area.

This makes equator more warmer than pole.

A clade represents a group of organisms that have all characteristics common to their ancestor. The example of algea given here, has characteristics which are found mainly in plants belongs to Kingdom Plantea. Therefore, the clade of these Protists can be related with those of plants but cannot be related to Protists which exhibit animal like characteristics.

Therefore, species is classified in a clade that does not include all Protists.

Answer:

Explanation:

1)Pfr/Pr

2) Pr

3)far-red

Explanation:

The leaves at the top of a tree’s canopy are exposed to direct sunlight during the day, and their phytochromes will occur in a high *Pfr/Pr* ratio. Meanwhile, the leaves of the same tree at the bottom of the canopy are highly shaded during the day and will likely have a higher proportion of the * ( PHYTOCHROME )Pr *;form of phytochrome present due to exposure to a higher proportion of *FAR RED * light.

Plants make use of the phytochrome system to it's adjust growth based on the seasons. Through phytochrome plants is able to respond to the timing and duration of dark and light periods. At dawn, all the phytochrome molecules present in the leaved are converted to the active Pfr form until sunset this is because the sun is unfiltered, and unfiltered sunlight has high percentage of red light, but lower far-red light, with the help of phytochrome system , the plants is able to compare the length of dark periods over several days.
