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 " .

___________________________________________________

Note: 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" — Not "gymnosperms ".

→ Rule out: " Choice: [A] " .

__________________________________________________

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

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 both mosses — as well as horsetails — are Not "gymnosperms ". Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — and Not by seed .].

→ 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: "known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem."

__________________________________________________

→ As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

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

1.How would you differentiate your heart rate before and after exercising?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Your heart rate before exercising would probably be the at rest rate of say about 50-60 beats per minute whereas immediately after exercise it could easily be say 115-130 and depending on age there is an optimum heart rate for each age range which decreases somewhat with age. Timing for a full minute your heart rate is best as it will give the actual count whereas if you just do it for 10 seconds and then multply by 6 it would assume it will be consistent whereas it could decrease during the minute so the actual measured count for a full minute is more accurate.

Why did the five-kingdom system of classification fall out of favor?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Answer is B. It did not reflect the actual evolutionary relationships among organisms very well.

Explanation:

The five-kingdom system of classification was initiated or formed by Robert H. Whittaker in 1969. And it involved the Kingdoms monera, fungi, protista, animalia and plantae.

This classification system was regarded as not so good because of placement of some certain organisms. For example, in the classification system, unicellular algae were put under the kingdom protista, when other multicellular organisms like algae were being classified under the kingdom Plantae.
