Answer:

Meristems are able to differentiate into other tissues

Explanation:

The presence of meristems explains the ability of plants to regenerate from cuttings.

<em>Meristems or meristematic tissues consist of a group of actively dividing, undifferentiated cells. They posses the ability to enlarge, stretch and differentiate into other types of cells or organs as they mature.</em>

Meristems are of three types:

Apical meristems which consists of shoot apical meristems that give rise to organs like leaves and flowers and root apical meristems that give rise to roots.
Intercalary meristems which is specific to the stems of monocots and responsible for rapid stem elongation as well as leaf regrowth in some plant species.
Floral meristems which is the transformation of apical meristems in flowers and responsible for the development of flower structures like sepal, petals, etc.

"Over the past few decades, researchers have observed declining numbers in two species of penguins native to the West Antarctic

Naya [18.7K]

There are a few very good reasons why the change in the ice mass results in a decline in the populations of penguins. One reason is the penguins food source grows and develops under the the ice masses. Another reason is a loss of habitat for the penguins. When there is less ice, there are fewer krill for the penguins to eat.

Which food chain sequence can be found in this meadow?

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "grass -> grasshopper -> raccoon -> wolf"

Explanation:

Food chains are diagrams that represent the order at which organisms feed from each other, starting from producers that are able to make their own food, until quaternary consumers that feed from predators. In this case, the sequence of grass -> grasshopper -> raccoon -> wolf can be found in the meadow. Grass is a plant that function as producer, which is consumed by grasshopper (primary consumer), which is consumed by raccoon (secondary consumer), which is consumed by wolf (tertiary consumers). I attached the missing information in a picture.
