Many cactus plants, such as the species shown in the illustration, use a special type of photosynthesis called CAM photosynthesi

s. This specialized process allows the cactus plant to keep the stoma or leaf openings closed during the day. Most other plant species keep their stoma open during daylight hours. Which is the MOST likely reason that cactus use this special photosynthetic process? A) retain oxygen B) conserve water C) avoid insect predators D) conserve energy in the form of ATP

B because cactus' are usually in a dry environment, they close their stomata during the day to keep water vapor from leaving the plant. Instead they do their processes at night to avoid extreme water loss.

Ans. (B). conserve water.

Cactus plants grow in dry and arid conditions. These plants have adapted to perform CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) photosynthesis, which helps them to conserve water.

Plants that use CAM pathway open their stomata during night to take CO2 for photosynthesis, while their stomata remain closed during the day to reduces evaporation or transpiration and conserve water.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer:

1: 7.8 cm

2: .7 cm

3: 5.55 cm

For the other questions, you have to use a ruler yourself and measure using cm. :)

1 cm = 10 millimeter. To convert, just add a 0 to the end of cm to find the mm (or move the decimal one place to the right.)

For example, 2.6 cm = 26 mm / 5 cm = 50 mm. Hope this helps!

The answer is; hydrothermal, geothermal, and wind

Hydrothermal, taped from the biggest river on the state contributes approximately 60% of the energy in the state. Geothermal is second,approximately 30% while wind power contributes approximately 10%.


The costs of the electricity in the state are relatively cheap compared with states whose main source of energy is hydrocarbon fuels.   Geothermal power is the cheapest (even though initial investment is prohibitive). Hydrothermal is slightly expensive than geothermal due to the maintenance required and also  is prone to fluctuations of the river regime. Winds are also cheap but initial investment if the wind farm is high.



Hydrothermal energy has the biggest environmental impact compared to the other two. Due to the walls of the dam on the river, migration of some aquatic species is impeded. The reduced flow of water (and sediments) downstream of the dam also impact these ecosystems. Geothermal and wind energy sources have a very minimal environmental impact on the environment .


The state could increase electronics with low power consumption (such as LED lights) in the market for availability to the population. This would be followed by a sensitization campaign on the ideal use of power in the household to conserve power when not in use.

In alzheimer's disease patients, amyloid plaques develop that contain misfolded beta-amyloid proteins. based on this observation
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Based on this observation you would predict that the MISFOLDED BETA AMYLOID PROTEINS COULD NOT BE REFOLDED BY THE CHAPERONE PROTEINS.
Chaperon proteins are proteins which assist newly formed proteins to form correctly. A protein that is already mis-folded can not be refolded by the chaperone proteins.
