Defenses against herbivory and adaptations related to wind dispersal of pollen are likely to cause human health problems.

<h3>What are defense responses against herbivores?</h3>

The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores.

Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

They discourage animals by causing physical damage or by inducing rashes and allergic reactions.

Some Acacia tree species have developed mutualistic relationships with ant colonies: they offer the ants shelter in their hollow thorns in exchange for the ants’ defense of the tree’s leaves

If an infant reaches for a toy hidden under a cloth, what does this suggest?
adelina 88 [10]
The correct answer is b.
The child is reaching for a toy which is not visible to him (hidden under a cloth), therefore, the child has a mental representation of the object in his/her mind. This action means that the child acknowledges that the objects continue to exist even when he/she can not hear or see them. This thought process is called object permanence and it is an ability acquired between the 4th and 7th month of a child's development.
