Answer:

Cassava and carrots are examples of plant roots.

Explanation:

Many people do not know, but the root is an organ that is part of plants. Generally, the root of the plant is below the surface of the soil and has two specific functions that consist of fixing the plant to the soil and also to absorb water, nitrogen compounds and other types of substances such as phosphorus and potassium (which consist of raw or inorganic matter). In general, the roots are not edible (for humans), but there are a type of roots, called tuberous roots, that can be eaten. An example of this type of root is cassava and carrots.

Plant Roots. The root system of a plant constantly provides the stems and leaves with water and dissolved minerals. In order to accomplish this the roots must grow into new regions of the soil. The growth and metabolism of the plant root system is supported by the process of photosynthesis occurring in the leaves.

Image result for Is work done when you carry a book across the room at a constant velocity

Work is not done when you carry an object forward. You may have learnt that carrying an object and moving horizontally at a constant velocity has no work done. The truth is, there is a slight amount of work done due to overcoming air resistance in the horizontal direction.

Sexual reproduction produces genetically different offsprings which do possess variations, hence better chance to survive in the environment.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sexual reproduction is the process of reproduction where there's a fusion of gametes from a male and female of the same species, resulting in a zygote and eventually an offspring. Sexual reproduction is very advanced type of reproduction which is very expensive for an organism. Much of the energy of the organism is spent to produce gametes and other necessary processes for reproduction.

Gametes of the sexual reproduction is produced mainly by means of meiotic cell division. This involves crossing over and chaismata formation which helps in genetic variations in the offspring. These variations help the species to survive unknown changes in environment, and helps to adapt quickly lessening the chances of extinction. So sexual reproduction has modified various times in different groups of species.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Reduction in species diversity

Explanation:

In habitat fragmentation, the large area of forest is divided into many smaller patches which reduce the area of habitat for species live there. This Fragmentation of habitat occurs mainly due to human activities like making highways and roads in the area.

This separates species member from each other which reduces the gene flow between that which can lead to inbreeding depression in a species and extinction of species can occur.

Cutting trees and human activities can alter the environment negatively which can cause extinction of some species that reduce species diversity. So the correct answer is a.
