Answer:

Xylem developed to transport water from the plant’s roots to the rest of the plant.

Explanation:

A waxy cuticle is usually present to reduce water loss, whereas spines are often in place that help plants avoid being eaten by herbivores.

Stomata are key for gas exchange, and actually permit the release of water. Water is taken up through the roots, not the stomata

All plant cells have nuclei, which is the organelle in which DNA is stored. The seeds did not develop to provide a place for the storage of genetic information.

However, the xylem is an important part of the plant vascular transport system that ensures water is transporter from the roots to the leaves. This is an important adaptation for land plants as it ensures all parts of the plant get a water supply, particularly the leaves that are undergoing photosynthesis.

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It inhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep.

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish. By predating on algae eating fishes, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.
