Answer:

Option D, leaves

Explanation:

The maximum concentration of zinc is accumulated both in the leaves and stem of corn and tobacco plants. But comparatively it is higher in the leaves than in the stem.

Zinc is a micro nutrient as it is required only in a small amount and it is found that plants will lesser zinc concentration dry out easily.  

Also the relation between the zinc absorbed is linear to the accumulation of zinc in the leaves.  Hence, the higher the zinc absorbed in the corn and tobacco plants, the higher is the zinc accumulating in the leaves.

Hence, option D is correct

1. How is the Burmese python impacting the Everglades ecosystem?
stepladder [879]

1. The Burmese python is an invasive species in the Everglades ecosystem. This means its numbers increase dramatically due to lack of natural predators. The python is feeding on small mammals such as rodents that feed of egg of animals such as the turtles. This, therefore, causes a ripple effect on the food web in the ecosystem e.g  dramatically increasing turtle population.


2. Due to the lack of natural predators in the ecosystem, the Burmese python causes an imbalance in the Everglade ecosystem. They reduce the biodiversity of the ecosystem hence diminishing the quality of natural resources.


3. The number of Burmese pythons can be regulated by introducing a predator in the Everglade ecosystem. Examples of animals that can prey on the snake are eagles, pumas, lions, crocodiles, cobras, and humans. This will reduce the numbers of the Burmese python and restore the balance in the ecosystem.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

sympatric speciation

Explanation:

Species of fruit fly larvae in the genus Rhagoletis each feed on a particular kind of fruit. Rhagoletis pomonella feeds on the small red fruit of the hawthorn tree. In 1865, farmers in the Hudson River valley found that R. pomonella flies had begun attacking their apples and then spread to apple orchards in adjacent areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. These now separate varieties of flies, the apple and haw flies, usually don't interbreed with each other because their periods of mating coincide with the different ripening times of apples and hawthorn fruit. Each variety is becoming specialized to feed and reproduce in its own particular microhabitat and may be transitioning to separate species.If the apple and haw flies become distinct enough to be separate species, their evolution is an example of sympatric speciation
