The correct answer is - physically dettering herbivory, protection from frost, and minimizing evaporation.

The plants have developed multiple traits that help them in multiple different circumstances, and some of those traits are the thorns and the hairs on their steams and leaves.

The thorns primarily serve for protection of the plant. They are very sharp and give a painful sting (occasionally poisonous one), so they are a physical protection from the herbivores that would try to eat parts of the plants.

The hairs have multiple functions. They are like a coat that helps the plant to not be affected by frost, help to stop the evaporation, and also partially manage to stop most of the insects that feed on plants.

Nitella [24]
D, B

Algae will increase since the fertilizer has chemicals that will set with the water.

Toxic chemicals will rise since the fertilizer was made in a factory.

Not sure about fish tho because the lake can refill it's life after a while and the chemicals can work as a counter measure.

What would happen if u place a cell in a container of water with high solute concentration?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Large quantities of water molecules constantly move across cell membranes by simple diffusion, often facilitated by movement through membrane proteins, including aquaporins. In general, net movement of water into or out of cells is negligible. For example, it has been estimated that an amount of water equivalent to roughly 100 times the volume of the cell diffuses across the red blood cell membrane every second; the cell doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out. There are, however, many cases in which net flow of water occurs across cell membranes and sheets of cells. An example of great importance to you is the secretion of and absorption of water in your small intestine. In such situations, water still moves across membranes by simple diffusion, but the process is important enough to warrant a distinct name - osmosis.

Which of the following statements about Bacteria is FALSE?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Oxygen is necessary for the growth of all bacteria.

Explanation:

This statement is false, because not all bacteria require oxygen to produce energy and grow. The bacteria that need oxygen to grow are called aerobic bacteria. But there are also bacteria that can produce energy without oxygen, these are called anaerobic. Some bacteria can adapt to both environments, these are called facultative anaerobes bacteria.
