What adaptations does this plant have to thrive in a dry, arid climate?

2 answers:

6 0

Xerophytes, such as cacti, usually have special means of storing and conserving water. They often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration. Phreatophytes are plants that have adapted to arid environments by growing extremely long roots, allowing them to acquire moisture at or near the water table.

Hope this helps you

The plants that tend to live in the dry conditions have certain adaptations that can be used by them to survive there.

These plants are known as xerophytes, they lack pure leafy structure and the leaves are succulents in nature and have thorns on them to prevent the loss of water.

They have broad stem and leaves that stores water and performs the process of photosynthesis.

The stomata closes at times to prevent the loss of water through transpiration.

Describe what must come together in order for atp to be made

To make ATP, cells must join together ADP & a phosphate using energy from food. A phosphate is removed from an ATP molecule in order to provide energy for the cell. Thus, the ATP molecule turns into an ADP molecule. We eat food which gives us energy to add another phosphate group to the ADP molecule, turning it into an ATP molecule. The cycle then begins again.

Producers are usually the first organisms listed in a food chain. They provide energy to the other organisms in the food chain.

Sliva [168]

Hi!

The answer is C. The Sun

The energy that producers get from the sun, along with water, allows them to begin photosynthesis, the process in which they make their food, because they are not able to absorb other forms of energy because they are plants.

I hope this helps!!

You are sorting cards with pictures of organisms and their descriptions into groups. You would place the card with an osprey and

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The osprey card and its description should be placed in the heterotrophs group.

Explanation:

Organisms that can synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn it into food according to their own needs are producers, and they are called autotrophic organisms. These organisms are by excellence all plants, that photosynthesize. Organisms that are incapable of producing their food are called heterotrophic organisms. They depend on other organisms from the trophic chain such as plants or other animals to feed on, so they can get proteins and energy.

In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the first, second or third consumer level, after producers.

There are different types of heterotrophic animals: carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.

Which substance can enter a cell by diffusion

lara [203]

Answer;
The substance that can enter a cell by diffusion without having to be digested is water.

Explanation;
Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, down a concentration gradient.
Water is able to diffuse through the cell membrane without being digested since it has small molecules.
One property of cell membrane is semi-permeability; it selectively allows material to enter or leave the cell. Large molecules such as starch , fat and proteins, can not enter the cell due to their size and will need to be digested to small molecules for the to gain access to the cell.
