Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "shallow roots".

Explanation:

Some plants had developed shallow roots as an adaptation to permafrost. The artic plants have shallow roots because the permafrost does not allow the plants to push its roots deep down under the frozen topsoil looking for liquid water. Most arctic plants have a very short growing period of time since the liquid water above the frozen topsoil lasts liquid only from 50 to 90 days per year.

Explanation:

The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell's genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins. Inside the nucleus, chromatin (DNA wrapped around proteins, described further below) is stored in a gel-like substance called nucleoplasm.

The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases with increase in temperature.

However, in chart 1 it was observed that the amount of dissolved oxygen increases with increase in temperature.

<h3>What is the relationship between dissolved oxygen and temperature?</h3>

Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen dissolved in water at a given temperature. Dissolved oxygen is important to aquatic animals for respiration.

The relationship between dissolved oxygen and temperature is that dissolved oxygen increases with decrease in temperature and vice versa.

Based on chart dissolved oxygen initially had a linear relationship with temperature. This, however is contrary to the expected results.

How are microorganisms involved in the movement of nitrogen from the atmosphere to the bodies of other organisms? Why can’t othe

Maru [420]

Microorganisms that are involved in the nitrogen cycle are able to break the triple of elemental nitrogen using special enzymes that they have developed and make ammonium. Other organisms like plants are unable to break the triple bond and therefore rely on these microorganisms so that they can absorb the ammonia

<span>The correct answers are that it lacks cells, DNA, and cannot maintain homeostasis. It doesn't have any organic matter and homeostasis is impossible because it would turn off eventually. It doens't have DNA and it doesn't reproduce. It's just plasma and it is not a living being, it just moves because of the chemical reactions that occur. </span>
