Answer:
B. Competition for light and moisture
Explanation:
Plants grow towards sunlight which is necessary for photosynthesis, of which they utilize sunlight, carbondioxide, and moisture to manufacture their food. In the tropical rain forest, competition is intense among plants for sunlight and moisture.
The trees/plants that are able to get enough sunlight and moisture gain advantage over others as they grow bigger and taller, as the rest struggle to get some sunlight and moisture. The canopy of taller trees usually cut-off sunlight from teaching shorter trees, thereby making availability of sunlight to the shorter trees quite limited. As a result of this, we have variations of trees with different height in the tropical rainforest.
Answer:
D. Active transport.
Explanation:
Active transport is the method that uses the ATP's energy to move ions and molecules from one side to the other of the membrane. The elements move from a place of lower concentration to one of a higher concentration. They move against their concentration gradient, which is why they need the energy to do it. There are two types of active transport, primary and secondary.
The primary active transport is ion pumps that hydrolyze ATP using one of the phosphates of the ATP to change the pump's shape and move the elements against their concentration gradient. It uses the ATP's energy directly.
The secondary active transport does not use ATP directly. It uses the electrochemical gradient that the primary transport had created when hydrolyzing ATP to transport the ions and molecules.
The tissue you are referring to here is the xylem, a <u>vascular tissue</u>, whose basic function is to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Answer: Antibiotic Resistant Mutation
Explanation: Not all of the bacteria die because there are individuals in the population that have an antibiotic resistant mutation, which causes them to be adapted to dealing with the antibiotic. There will be a large population of bacteria again because the ones with the mutation survive, reproduce, and pass the antibiotic resistance trait on.
