The plants usually lose water through stomata present in their leaves. The water loss generally takes place at the time of daylight and when plants are exposed to the Sun. This loss of water, known as transpiration, is both essential and harmful for plants.

A leaf may lose more water each day in comparison to its own weight. Transpiration also reduces the internal temperature of the leaf as water evaporates. On hot days, the temperatures in the leaves may be between three to fifteen degrees cooler in comparison to the outside air.

It has been found that various plants exhibit heat shock proteins as a mechanism to hold the enzymes in their functional shapes in the case when the temperature of the leaf rises.

It is essential for the plants to hold their enzymes in their functional shapes because if the shape of an enzyme varies, it may not function adequately or it may function distinctly. The essential activities may get stop or slow down. The shape of an enzyme signifies its function.

How does global warming lead to succession events?
MissTica

Answer:

Due to increase temperature and drought condition.

Explanation:

Succession refers to the changes occur in the structure of a biological community with the passage of time. Global warming has a great affect on the succession events because the vegetative cover present in that area vanished due to increase in temperature which is unbearable for the vegetation and also drought condition occurs in that area due to no rainfall. Instead of vegetative cover, a new plant specie formed which has the ability to exists in that environment.

A strand of DNA has the bases AGTAAC. Using letters, show the matching DNA strand.
kkurt [141]
The matching DNA strand would be A - T, G - C, A -T, A - T, C - G, or in other words TCTTG (because you had the strand AGTAAC). 

Always remember that A pairs with T, G pairs with C, T obviously pairs with A, and C obviously with G.
