Answer:

C) II, III, and IV only

II. low precipitation

III. poorly developed soils

IV. animals with extreme adaptations

Explanation:

This is something that generally comes from environmental knowledge.

I. Permafrost. This is commonly found in Tundra's, and is arguably the definition OF a tundra. Tundra's have land with underlying permafrost, which prevents plants that rely on large roots from breaching the land. Deserts don't have THIS problem, they just have sand and overly dried rock-soil.

II. Low precipitation. This is true of both deserts and tundras. If you've ever seen a desert-set- movie, you'd know that the prominent issue of deserts is that they never seem to have water. While Hollywood isn't to be considered accurate, it DOES have some truth here. Deserts are infamous for their extremely low amounts of precipitation (rain). Tundras are nearly identical, though due to other reasons.

III. Poorly developed soils. Yes, Tundras and Deserts both have terrible, terrible soil, for opposite reasons. Tundras are known for extremely low temperatures and little precipitation. Deserts are known for extremely hot temperatures and little precipitation. With Tundras, permafrost lays beneath all the land, preventing any serious plants from growing (outside of resilient grasses, weeds, and shrubs). Deserts have the opposite issue... they average 102 degrees during the day and 24 degrees at night. Excluding the typical presence of sand, this makes for VERY rough soil, as it's baked throughout the day and hardened at night.

IV. Animals with extreme adaptions. Yes. In Tundra's, you'll find a majority of animals that have found ways to adapt to the extremely low temperatures... namely foxes, hares, reindeer, wolves, birds, and some smaller mammals. In deserts, you'll find animals who've adapted to living and thriving in hot temperatures and tolerating the night temps. . .namely reptiles, foxes, scorpions, and armadillos, along with some birds.

V. Hot days and Cold nights. As mentioned before, Deserts average 102F during the day and 24F at night. On the CONTRARY, tundras average -30F to 20F. Obviously, this answer choice is only applicable to deserts.

Hope this helps!

Question 6 (1 point)
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

asexual

Explanation:

This honeydew contains millions of asexual spores (conidia) which are dispersed to other florets by insects or rain. Later, the Sphacelia segetum convert into a hard dry Sclerotic clavus inside the husk of the floret. At this stage, alkaloids and lipids (e.g. ricinoleic acid) accumulate in the Sclerotium.

A positive potassium cation (K+) could be an example of a solute in the cytosol when it is at its resting potential. To add up, the resting potential difference inside the membranes of a neuron was estimatedly -70 mV wherein aside from potassium ions, sodium ions are also present in the neuron.

What produces the cell cycle?
Marta_Voda [28]

The cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells. Cells on the path to cell division proceed through a series of precisely timed and carefully regulated stages of growth, DNA replication, and division that produces two identical (clone) cells.

What organelle is missing from the red blood cells?
taurus [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is - they lack a nucleus, DNA, and organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria

Explanation:

Red blood cells are considered as the cells, carry oxygen with the help of hemoglobin protein present in it to the various parts of the body from the lungs and carry CO2 back to the lungs.

These cells are different from the normal cell as they do not participate in the protein synthesis due to the fact that they lack various cell organelle and cell components required. Nucleus and DNA are major components or organelle missing from these cells. In addition to these two, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria also missing from RBCs.
