Answer: a. capillary action.
Water is a taken up by the plants from the roots, which needs to be transferred to all the parts of the plants to conduct cellular metabolic processes like photosynthesis and respiration. The properties of water molecules are responsible for conduction of water from the root to the stem and other higher parts. The cohesion is the property of water which water molecules are combined with each other due to sharing of bonds at the atomic level. The adhesion is the property of water which allows water molecules to attach with other substances or substrate. Adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. Capillary action occurs when the adhesive force is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules. The supply will be upward and force of gravity will also be applicable on this. Capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. In this way water is drawn upward from the roots through plant tissues to the leaves by capillary action.
Answer:
A. An increase in nutrients
Explanation:
By definition, eutrophication is excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
Answer:
B. they absorb it to make their own food
Explanation:
Producers absorb the disassembled organic matter found in soil to make their own food.
The answer is dusk and dawn.
Crepuscular animals are active during twilight (latin crepusculum). Twilight is a period after dawn and before dusk, so crepuscular animals want to avoid dusk and dawn. Animals' activity in different periods during the day depends on temperature or other biotic factors. It also depends on predators' activities or local competition.
Answer: the question is incomplete,below is the complete question.
List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert
The answers are, Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree.
Construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert will threaten the existence of Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and and Joshua tree.
Explanation: The construction of solar power towers in Mojave desert in California poses a threat to the existence of quite a number of plants.The Mojave desert houses the largest solar power plant in the world,creating the solar power tower will create job opportunities for people but at the same time endangering the existence of about 12 rare plants that are found in the region of which Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree are greatly included,these plants cannot co-exist with solar thermal mirror arrays,this brings a controversy between energy/electricity generation and wildlife/ecosystem conservation.
