Which of the following adaptions will help a plant survive in the desert?

Biology
1 answer:
Soloha48 [4]3 years ago
3 0
A is correct. We know that water buildup is essential for plants (and all other organisms) that live in the desert due to its lack of moisture. So, the question is simply asking which adaptation will help a plant retain the most water in the desert. Here’s what makes each wrong or right:
A. Stem that stores water - Having stems that can retain a lot of moisture and water is absolutely necessary for plants that live in hot and dry biomes. The brief periods of rain in the desert make it easier for plants with water-storing stems to absorb the water and remain hydrated throughout their time. This is referred to as succulence, and most (if not all) plants in the desert are succulents. This is the correct answer!
B. Shallow root system - Many plants that live in deserts tend to have shallow root systems that allow them to quickly absorb and moisture in the environment — and because water never goes too far in the desert, they soak most of it up. Although this is helpful, it is better for plants that live in places with a lot of soil.
C. Large surface area - Having a large surface area is more useful for photosynthesis and may result in dehydration. This is wrong!
D. Flat broad leaves - Again, this adaptation is more favorable for plants that do not live in the desert because, as we know, photosynthesis requires water.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

sweepstake route

Explanation:

From the view of the horses, the ocean barrier would be seen as a  <u>sweepstake route</u>.

<em>By definition, the sweepstake route refers to a rather difficult or dangerous path through which animals can move from one place to another. No animal would take this path ordinarily except by pure chance or when events leave no other option.</em>

In the illustration, no horse would engage in an adventure of swimming across the ocean to North America until the European settlers decided to ferry them across. Hence, to the horses, the ocean barrier represents a sweepstake route.

Why does it make biochemical sense that chaperones recognize hydrophobic surface area? What catastrophic event are chaperones me
dexar [7]

Answer:

Molecular chaperons in the cells helps in protein folding. These are the group of proteins that have functional similarity and they also assist protein folding.

They have the ability to prevent the non specific binding and aggregation by the binding of the non native proteins.

Molecular chaperons helps in recognizing the hydrophobic surfaces of the unfolded proteins because they themselves are hydrophobic in nature and will combine to the hydrophic binding and bonding.

This helps in guiding the protein to folding.

Explain the role convection plays in the rock cycle
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All rocks are made up of minerals. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring, crystalline solid of definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure. A rock is any naturally formed, nonliving, firm, and coherent aggregate mass of solid matter that constitutes part of a planet.

If cobalt moved down a period what would it be?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Recall that a period is horizontal, and a group is vertical. 

So if cobalt is moving "down" a period, it would be most logical to say that it would be Ni, or nickel. It could also be Copper, Zinc, Gallium, and so on. Make sense?
