A root of a cotton plant must
overcome various potential forces such as gravitational forces that pulls water
downward, matric forces where there is an adhesion of water molecules from a soil and osmotic forces where attracting water in the presence of large amount of soluble salts in the mixture of soil.
If the soil were compacted by
a heavy vehicle, the matric forces would be mostly affected for compaction will
result to increase matric forces due to reduced size of pores of the soil
making it more difficult to draw water from a solid surface.
They are better competitors because they emerge earlier in the spring, grow rapidly, and are impacted by few, if any, natural predators. When invasive plants are allowed to grow unchecked, many native plants and the wildlife species that rely upon them suffer.
Answer:
D. Photosynthesis
Explanation:
Plants got more sun on land, so photosynthesis helped them create more energy.
The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.
The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond.
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.
Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication
