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.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Terms matched with the right definitions.  

1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph

2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.  

3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.  

4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.  

5.  A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.  

6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.


An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.


Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).

An inactively of muscle will cause local temperature to decrease and will produce less CO₂. Cold temperature and higher pH cause
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Cold temperature and higher pH cause the oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve to shift high reflecting that hemoglobin releases more oxygen.

Explanation:

In higher pH i. e. neutral or alkaline and low body temperature, the hemoglobin molecule attach more oxygen to their active sites. When the temperature of the blood increases, the hemoglobin stops or reduces the binding of oxygen to their active sites and lower the saturation level.    Oxygen-hemoglobin saturation level refers to the amount of oxygen binds with the hemoglobin. This saturation decreases with increase in temperature and lower pH while saturation level increases when the temperature of the body is lower and pH is high.
