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.

A huge amount of water − 7 to 9 l − moves from the blood into the bowel every day, through osmosis and digestive secretions. sin
Alexus [3.1K]
The event order should be:

1. Ingesting food, the small bowel filled with food solutes and become hypertonic. It will attract water from the blood which is hypotonic
2. Food digested, some of it absorbed. The osmotic pressure inside bowel will be reduced.
3. All food is absorbed, the osmotic pressure reduced significantly makes it hypotonic. The blood attracts water as it is hypertonic. This will increase the blood volume

When you decrease the pH in the simulation, the ocean’s acidity increases. What do you expect to happen over time to the populat
kherson [118]

Answer:

With decrease in pH of ocean water, the survival rate of corals, algae, and fish in coral reef reduces.

Explanation:

Coral reefs find difficulty in living in acidic ocean water. It is so because the coral’s shell that is made up of calcium carbonate is unable to sustain in acidic environment.  

Not only this the skeleton of snails, clams, algae , fish etc is also made up of calcium carbonate. Increased acidity leads to death of these species.  

Thus, the lower is the pH of ocean water, the higher is its acidity and hence the lower is the probability of survival of corals, algae, and fish in the coral reef
