When insects fly, they expend more energy and consume more oxygen as compared to their state of rest. Insects have a tubular breathing system called tracheae, instead of lungs. The action of flight muscles pumps air through the trachea. This is how they generate extra energy while flying.

Coastal Ocean!

Explanation: It’s important to remember that although the ocean produces at least 50 percent of the oxygen on Earth, roughly the same amount is consumed by marine life. Like animals on land, marine animals use oxygen to breathe, and both plants and animals use oxygen for cellular respiration. Oxygen is also consumed when dead plants and animals decay in the ocean.

This is particularly problematic when algal blooms die and the decomposition process uses oxygen faster than it can be replenished. This can create areas of extremely low oxygen concentrations, or hypoxia. These areas are often called dead zones, because the oxygen levels are too low to support most marine life.

NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science conducts extensive research and forecasting on algal blooms and hypoxia to lessen the harm done to the ocean ecosystem and human environment.

The part of the plant where you would find the most cellulose is ? ( dont say cell walls , im looking where at
pochemuha

Answer:

d-stem

Explanation:

Cellulose is most abundant in meristems tissues which are present in the tips of the root and stem and in the cambium between the xylem and the phloem and under the epidermis of the trees and shrubs, therefore it is abundant in the stems.

Meristems are also found in other parts of the plant  but it is mostly abundant in the stems.

Meristems are the cells that are responsible for the cell growth and elongation.
