Answer:

Explanation:

The tallness is a phenotypic characteristic of the plant. It will either beneficial for the plant or it may be disadvantageous.

Pros- The tall plant will receive maximum sunlight due to tallness. This will help in increasing the photosynthesis rate of the plant.

Cons- Exposure to direct sunlight can harm the plant as this will evaporate the maximum available water in the plant by the process of transpiration. The plant may suffer from wilting or may die due to dehydration.

You are making an illustration of the life cycle of an average star and the life cycle of a massive star as part of a computer a

Leya [2.2K]

The average star cycle: nebula, protostar, main sequence, red giant, white dwarf. The massive star cycle: nebula, protostar, main sequence, super red giant, supernova, black hole, neutron star.

The star cycle is the sequence of changes that a star undergoes throughout its existence.

<h3>The evolutive stages of an average star are </h3>

Nebula: Stars are born from the nebula that is the dust and gas particles condensation due to gravity effect in the interstellar clouds

Protostar: It is a more advanced level of condensation.

Main sequence. Equilibrium between gravity and nuclear fusion helps the star keep stable as long as the fuel lasts. The two main types are

• Orange dwarf: between the red dwarf and the yellow dwarf

• Yellow dwarf: Like the sun

Subgiant: occurs when orange and yellow dwarfs finish their main sequence and start to run out of fuel, expanding.

Red giant. After the subgiant stage, the star enters a giant phase. The star can reach a size of up to 100 times its current size.

White dwarf. When average-sized stars run out of fuel, the red giant begins to disintegrate, losing its outer layers and exposing its core, which will become a white dwarf.

<h3>The evolutive stages of a giant star are </h3>

Nebula

Protostar

Main sequence. There are two main types

• Yellow supergiant. Extremely short phase. Almost no stars are known to be in this stage. The star swells on its way to becoming a red supergiant.

• Red supergiants are the largest stars in volume, but not in mass.

Supernova. When fuel is over in the red supergiants, the gravitational collapse produces a violent explosion originating the supernova.

Neutron star. A celestial body that remains as a remnant after the explosion gives rise to a supernova.

Which type of cell might have been the first one to evolve and explain why this may have been the first.
The hypothesis that eukaryotic cells evolved from a symbiotic association of prokaryotes—endosymbiosis—is particularly well supported by studies of mitochondria and chloroplasts, which are thought to have evolved from bacteria living in large cells.
Compare and contrast eukaryotic cells with prokaryotic cells.
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example ofprokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
