It is estimated that animal- or insect-pollinated plants produce 1000 pollen grains for each ovule; wind-pollinated plants produ

6 0

Explanation:

The plants which use animal or insects as pollination vector produce less pollen compared to the wind-pollinated plants.

This could be due to the reason that the chances of pollination by wind are less than the pollination by the animal or vectors.

The chances of pollination in animal pollination are high as the animals to feed on the useful product of plant will go to the other plants but in wind pollination, the chances are less as it depends on the speed and direction of the wind.

Thus, wind-pollinated plants produce high number of pollens.

One of the seed banks has been storing seeds of a rare and endangered plant to keep the seeds fresh.120 of the seeds of this pla
lianna [129]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

According to this question, a seek stored seeds of a rare and endangered plant. In order to ensure that the seeds remain fresh, 120 seeds are selected to be grown. However, out of these 120 seeds, only 90 germinated. This means that only 90 of 120 seeds are fertile.

This further means that (120-90) = 30 seeds are infertile and hence, could not germinate. In percentage, this can be represented as:

30/120 × 100

= 1/4 × 100

= 100/4

= 25% of the selected seeds are infertile.

Which of these gymnosperms are known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem?
CaHeK987 [17]

The correct answer is:     [D]:

___________________________________________________

                    →   " redwood tree forests " .

___________________________________________________

 <u>Note</u>:  Let us consider the other answer choices.

___________________________________________________

Choice:  [A]:  "garden flowering plants" ;  is incorrect  — since these are not generally considered to be part of a true or traditional "ecosystem" ; and especially since "garden flowering plants" are, in fact, "flowering plants" —  which means that they are "angiosperms" —  <em><u>Not</u></em>  "<em><u>gymnosperms</u></em><em> </em>".

      →  Rule out:  " Choice:  [A] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice:  [B]:  " ferns and liverworts " ; is incorrect — since <em><u>both</u></em>  ferns — as well as liverworts —<u><em> are Not  </em></u><u>"</u><u><em>gymnosperms </em></u>".  

          Liverworts are "bryophytes" {which lack true vascular tissue] ; and ferns are "pterophytes" ["seedless vascular plants"].

      →  Rule out:  " Choice:  [B] " .

___________________________________________________

Choice:  [C]: " mosses and horsetails "; is incorrect ;  since <em><u>both</u></em> mosses — as well as horsetails — <u><em>are Not  </em></u><u>"</u><u><em>gymnosperms </em></u>".   Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — <em><u>and Not by seed</u></em><em> .</em>].

      →  Rule out:  " Choice:  [C] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice:  [D]: " redwood tree forests "  ;

               — is the only answer choice provided that is a "gymnosperm".    

             Furthermore, the "redwood tree" is a conifer (i.e. "coniferous; or, "cone-bearing" plant} that reproduces through seeds spread by "cone") — and all "conifers" are a type of "gymnosperm."  

            Furthermore, "redwood trees" grow large and tall, and redwood forest communities within an ecosystem; due to there size and presence, are:  "<em><u>known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem</u></em>."

__________________________________________________

 →  As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

 →  Answer choice:  [D]:  " redwood tree forests " .

__________________________________________________

Hope this helps!

    Best wishes to you in your academic endeavors

           — and within the "Brainly" community!
