One example can be the needle shaped leaves.
In desert areas, there are not much water sources. So basically, any drop of water is precious. To help prevent water loss of plants, for example cactus has very thin leaves that are needle shaped. Or some even don't have any leaves. This can reduce the surface area of leaves and thus reduce the water evaporating to the outer environment.
Another example also shown on cactus is that they have very thick waxy cuticle. It can also prevent water from evaporating from the stem. So that's why you see the stem is very shinny.
Answer/Explanation:
Density-dependent limiting factors are non living and biotic factors that affect the size and growth of a population based on the population density, while density-independent limiting factors are those factors that do not depend on the density of a population before they can have an effect on the growth and size of the population.
Examples of density-dependent limiting factors are predation, disease, Parasitism, competition. These rely on the density of a population in order to affect the growth and size of a population.
On the other hand, examples of density-independent limiting factors are pollution, flood, temperature.
The answer is Fog because it creates a cloudy damp air type weather.
One example of irradiation solving a societal problem might be the way
in which it is able to prevent diseases in food. Using small amount of
radiation, the bacteria and insects that would otherwise be carrying
harmful bacteria can be killed. This will solve a societal problem, in
that food wastage and illness due to food poisoning in poverty-stricken
areas are massive problems faced in our society.
Answer:
Homeostasis.
Explanation:
A characteristic of living organisms is their ability to maintain internal balance. Therefore, maintaining internal balance inside the body is known as homeostasis.
Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.
For example, if a person becomes infected with a pathogen such as a virus. The internal stimulus that most likely takes place in order for their body to maintain homeostasis is that their core temperature increases. This is because pathogens such as a virus do not thrive or survive in a hot environment; they're naturally allergic to high temperature (heat).
