Answer: Mosses retain soil humidity and prevents its degradation, besides are habitat for little invertebrates.
Explanation: Mosses are non-vascular plants (they don't have conductive vessels as xylem and phloem) that live places as tree trunks, rocks, walls and soils. This habitats must be humids because mosses need water for nutrient transport, because they don't have cuticle (prevents water lost) and for fertilization. Mosses are important for the ecosistems where they live because retain water in the soils thus prevent erosion and harbor invertebrates as Tardigrades (water bears).
Answer:
any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, or different atomic weights. There are 275 isotopes of the 81 stable elements, in addition to over 800 radioactive isotopes, and every element has known isotopic forms. Isotopes of a single element possess almost identical properties.
Explanation:
B represents the growth shown in plants without fertilizer even in similar conditions. Experiment B is important because it helps bring the experiment to a conclusion that plants react better with fertilizer when growing in it’s early stages.
Answer:
Rats - Virgin Island
Hemlock - Asia
Zebra moulds - Great Lakes
Explanation:
An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.
Three invasive species are as following:
- Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
- The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
- Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants
