5 0

Answer:

Countries depend on nuclear energy when the conventional mode of energy extraction are either not available or not sufficient

Explanation:

Yes this is true and in this regard the best example would be Japan. Japan has meager energy supplies or alternative sources of energy. There are several restrictions in regards to production of energy from alternative sources such as  

a) The solar energy extraction requires adequate sunlight availability and land. Japan has restricted land and also the sunlight exposure. Thus, solar energy cannot be a good source of energy for Japan. The same implies for the wind energy farms.

b) Japan has no coal reserves and hence it cannot be prominent source of energy

c) Hydroelectricity is also not possible because of unavailability of sufficient land parcels to develop such mega structures.  

While on the other hand nuclear power plants acquire less space and produce more energy as compared to any of the conventional energy resources.

Plants adapted to the desiccating effects of the land environment and increased ultraviolet radiation with the evolution of ____
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

e. ​cutin

Explanation:

Plant exhibit many variations to withstand the temperature variations, desiccation and increased UV exposure which are some of the factors associated with land habitat. Cutin is a waxy substance that is found in the outer walls of the epidermal cells of plants. Cuticle in plants serves to make the outer most covering of aerial parts of the leaves and non-woody stem of herbaceous plants. The cuticle is made of cutin.

Cutin serves to protect the plant’s aerial surfaces from excess water loss. It also filters the excess UV light and thereby protects the underlying plant parts. The thickness of the cuticle varies in different plants depending upon the environmental conditions. The leaves of plants adapted to hot, dry climates have thick cuticles. The thickness of the cutin layer also varies in different parts of a plant. For example, the upper epidermis of leaf generally has a thicker cuticle than the shaded and relatively cooler lower epidermis.
