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.

The correct option is B: MAJOR DIVISIONS IN THE SEDIMENTARY ROCK LAYERS.
Geologic time scale refers to a system of chronological dating which relates geological strata to time. Geologic time scale is used by scientists to describe the timing of the events that had occurred in the past, thus the scale divides the earth history into units of varying magnitude. There are four basic block of time, these are eons, eras, periods and epochs.

Answer:

The correct answer is A The student is investigating the passive transport of diffusion.

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of transport process which helps in the transport of small molecules and gases towards their concentration gradient that"s means from region of high concentration to the low concentration region untill equilibrium is reached.

In this question the 10 drops are red coloured food particles that are placed into the beaker, diffuses to all the regions of the beaker untill the concentration of that red colored food particle become same in all the regions to which red colored food particle diffuse.
