The correct answer is A. 
Secondary growth in plants allows many woody and non woody plants to grow tall and strong. The growth basically occurs in the roots and the stems and it is controlled by lateral meristem.  Examples of non woody plants that undergo secondary growth include: carrot, potato, tuber, etc.<span />

The growth starts from the roots and them to other parts. So the significance of secondary growth in plants is To support the extra weight of the tree due to an increase in its height and to prevent it from collapsing. So the answer to your question is letter A.

Average global temperatures are higher when the earths orbit is more elliptical and cooler when the orbit is more circular how c
svlad2 [7]

The obliquity (axial tilt), precession (wobble), and the eccentricity (how close to being circular) of the Earth’s orbit, comprise the Milankovitch cycle. These three factors affect the amount of heat energy from the sun (solar heat) directed to Earth, influencing climactic changes and patterns.


The tilt of the axis mainly affects the amount of solar heat each hemisphere receives. The greater the tilt, the more solar energy is directed at the northern hemisphere. Along with precession, they also affect the length of days and nights experienced by certain parts of the Earth.


The eccentricity of the orbit affects the distance of the Earth to the Sun during its revolution in orbit. The orbit is an elliptical path followed by the Earth, with the Sun not exactly at the center. Thus, there is a time when the Earth is closest to the Sun (perihelion) and this allows the Earth to experience radiation the most. On the other hand, there is also a time when Earth is farthest to the Sun (aphelion). This difference in distance creates a heat exposure retained by the Earth. From the time of perihelion it absorbs so much solar energy and is gradually expended revolving but at the same time still absorbing solar heat – hotter global temperature .


If the orbit was more circular, the distance of the Earth to the Sun will always be the same at any point in the orbit. Thus, allowing equal exposure to the Earth at all times. There will be no point in time in which the Earth will absorb so much heat. This will cause a cooler global temperature compared to the elliptical orbit.

The best indicator of the efficiency of exercise is
butalik [34]
I think the answer is D. A good indicator is the resting heart rate. Exercise strengthen your heart and it makes it more efficient. The resting heart rate shows of the heart is pumping blood normally each time it contracts. Having a normal resting heart rate would mean a healthy heart.

Which statements accurately describe the roles of decomposers in the carbon cycle?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, here's the complete question;

Which statements accurately describe the roles of decomposers in the carbon cycle? Check all that apply.

-Decomposers release carbon dioxide into the air as waste.

-Decomposers remove carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis.

-Decomposers break down the remains of dead plants and animals.

-Decomposers return carbon compounds to the soil.

-Decomposers use carbon to make food molecules.

The correct answer is;

Decomposers release carbon dioxide into the air as waste.

Decomposers break down the remains of dead plants and animals.

Decomposers return carbon compounds to the soil.

Explanation:

In the earth, all living things are made up of carbon. Carbon cycle is the process in which carbon travels from the atmosphere into living things in the earth and then returned into the atmosphere.  Carbon is released into the atmosphere through processes like respiration, decomposition, combustion etc. The carbon cycle explains how carbon is stored, made available to living things and replaced on earth. Plants absorb carbon in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce food (glucose) and release oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. When animals feed on these plants , the carbon is transferred to them and thus passes it along the food chain. During respiration, animals release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. When the organisms eventually die, the carbon from them is put back into the atmosphere by decomposers so that other living organisms can use it. Decomposers break down dead organisms , releases carbon dioxide through cellular respiration and enriches the soil with nutrients.  The examples of decomposers are bacteria, fungi and worms. Bacteria decomposes most types of organic matter. Fungi are the main decomposers in the forest as they break down wood and the cellulose in plant cell walls. Decomposers are very important because they release carbon locked up in the dead organisms back into the atmosphere and without carbon dioxide in the atmosphere plants can not produce glucose and oxygen.
