Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube (picture to right) is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity.
Answer:
C) eukaryote A) bryophyte D) moss B) seedless plant
Explanation:
According to Whittaker five kingdom classification, the most specific classification includes prokaryotes and eukaryotes . Unicellular organisms were placed under Monera whereas Multicellular organisms were placed under Eukaryotes. Based on the cell wall, Eukaryotes were further divided into plantae and animalia. Plantae includes Thallophytes, Bryophytes (lacks differentiation of stem, leaf and root), Pteridophytes (seedless vascular plants), Gymnosperms (naked seeds) and angiosperms (Flowering and non- flowering plants).
An ecologist studying plants in the desert performed the following experiment. She staked out two identical plots, which included a few sagebrush plants and numerous small, annual wildflowers. She found the same five wildflower species in roughly equal numbers on both plots. She then enclosed one of the plots with a fence to keep out kangaroo rats, the most common grain-eaters of the area. After two years, to her surprise, four of the wildflower species were no longer present in the fenced plot, but one species had increased dramatically. The control plot had not changed. Using the principles of ecology, propose a hypothesis to explain her results.
Explanation:
- This example highlights the impact of plant predation on species selection. In the fenced off plot animal predation is not a factor on plant selection.
- In this case plants will compete for resources only with each other and in this case one plant had a selective advantage over the other 3 species of plants. In the plot exposed to animal predation the ratio of the four species is equal.
- This is likely do to an increased preference of animals for the plant species that dominates in the fenced off plot and/or anti-animal predation tactics by the other three species.
a.Hypothesis: kangaroo rats are keystone species
-Reintroduce kangaroo rats (and the other locally extinct species)
-Should observe equilibrium re-established
b.Hypothesis: kangaroo rats exert top-down control on community
-Reintroduce kangaroo rats (and other locally extinct species)
-Increase kangaroo rat population in other plot
-Decrease (but don't eliminate) kangaroo rat population in other plot
c.Hypothesis: Locally extinct species inferiorly competed with the extant species of plant
-Remove surviving species from other plot (and remove kangaroo rat population)
QRS complex refers to the combination of the Q, R, and S waves, and indicates ventricular depolarization and contraction (ventricular systole).
Ventricular rate can be calculated by determining the time interval between QRS complexes. The duration of the QRS complex is normally 0.06 to 0.10 seconds. This relatively short duration indicates that ventricular depolarization normally occurs very rapidly.
P QRS and T waves in electrocardiogram signifies the P wave in an ECG complex indicates atrial depolarization. The QRS is responsible for ventricular depolarization and the T wave is ventricular repolarization.
