Plants typical of the tundra are very short in stature or height. What is advantageous about this so called 'cushion plant form

found in the tundra, relative to a tall plant?
a. wind speeds are lower closer to the ground, reducing convective heat loss from plants
b. daytime air temperatures are usually higher closer to the ground, leading to higher convective heat gain by leaves
c. daytime conductive heat gain from adjacent ground surface would be greater
d. all the above
e. b and c

Answer:

c. daytime conductive heat gain from adjacent ground surface would be greater

Explanation:

The plants in the tundra had to adapt to survive so they became short and developed closer together, this can create a sort of cushion that locks in the heat that the sun can provide, conductive heat from the adjacent soil is also taken advantage of and the leaves on the plant absorbe as much heat from the sunlight as they can, growin closer together also helps them mantain the heat.

The sole of a gecko's foot is covered with millions and millions of small, dry "hairs" that make direct contact with surfaces, a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.

What takes place when you inhale and exhale ?
vovangra [49]
When you inhale and exhale, you actually breathe. When you inhale, your intercostal muscles between ribs and diaphragm contract. This increases the space in chest cavity so your lungs can expand and the air enters the lungs. When you exhale, intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax reducing the space in the chest which leads to removing the air from the lungs.
