Answer:

storage of water and developmend of thorns

Explanation:

The cactus is the best example of a plant that has adapted very well to the desert.

The first adaptation has to do with water storage. Thanks to the long roots it has, it can absorve water from very deep areas. The water stored is stored in adapted vacuoles. The cells of the cactus are adapted to transpirate as little as possible, no to loose water in evatranspiration process.

The second adaptation has to do with it´s thorns. Big, rigid and pointy thorns are the perfect defense tolive in the dessert. Animals will tend to eat plants which will not harm them at all. This is why, thorns are a great protection against hungry eaters.

What structural feature in a molecule is necessary for a gas to absorb ir radiation?.

dybincka [34]

The structural feature in a molecule necessary for a gas to absorb IR radiation is: a net change in dipole moment due to the vibration or rotation of the molecule.

IR radiation is the infrared radiation. In the electromagnetic spectrum, its value ranges from 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. The waves are longer than that of visible light and shorter than the radio waves. The waves are not visible to the human eye.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity. It is equal to the charge of the molecules multiplied by the distance between the two charges. In a dipole there is a positive charge at one end and a negative at the other. The direction is considered from negative to positive.

Why is oxygen important in the electron transport pathway and atp synthesis?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to specialized cell membranes,where they are harvested to create ATP.Once the electrons are used, they become depleted and must be removed from the body. Oxygen is essential for this task. Used electrons bind with oxygen; this molecules eventually bind with hydrogen to form water
