Answer:

C. It makes getting water easier and quicker for the cactus.

Explanation:

Cacti have roots that are perfectly adapted to the dry and hot climate of a desert. Some of them are very long to reach the water underground, providing them enough water. Some have roots that are very extensive and shallow, this is because they have a different strategy, they take their water mostly from brief showers, and their roots allow them to maximize the amount of water they can get.  A corky layer on the roots also helps to prevent water loss.

Plants use sugars as
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

a fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material for making other organic molecules.

Explanation:

Plants have the ability to produce sugars by the process of photosynthesis. Plants can convert the inorganic CO2 from the air into the organic nutrients such as sugars. Plants store sugars so that they can serve as a source of ATP for the cells as and when required. The sugars enter the process of cellular respiration and are oxidized into CO2 and H2O. In addition, the energy of chemical bonds of the sugars is used to form ATP molecules.

Plants also use sugars to synthesize other organic molecules. For example, several intermediates of Kreb's cycle can serve as precursors for the synthesis of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together to form different proteins.

Which term describes the perception of the body’s movement through space?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Complete question

Which term describes the perception of the body's movement through space?

A. nociception

B. neurasthenia

C. kinesthesia

D. dimensionality

Solution

The word Kinesthesia is made up of two words kinetic and anesthesia. On one side kinetic means movement while anesthesia means feeling, sensation, visions etc.  

Whenever a person senses his/her body movement through space or any other kind of physical bodily movement or action, he/she actually faces Kinesthesia. This is also related with the Charles bell concept of sixth sense through which one could perceive sensation of static position or velocity of the movement

 Hence, option C is correct

Genrish500 [490]
The incorrect one in the Meiosis category would be,

"Same number of chromosomes as the original cell." 

This is because the original cell would've had 46 chromosomes but the new cell only 23.
