Answer and Explanation:

In some, the leaves are needle-like and stomata are reduced in number and located in cavities on the epidermis. A layer of moist air builds up in the cavity. This reduces the humidity difference between the intercellular air spaces in the leaf and the immediate external environment thus reducing the rate of transpiration.

In some the epidermis of the leaves is multilayered and is covered with a thick waxy cuticle which reduces water loss through evaporation, e.g. oleander. The cuticle is normally shiny which helps to reflect solar radiation preventing the leaf from heating up rapidly.

The diagram above shows four steps in an attempt to investigate the release of gas during photosynthesis. Each setup was kept at

Lena [83]

Answer:

light

Explanation:

The above experiment is an investigation on the factors that affect photosynthesis which include carbon dioxide concentration,light intensity and quality,chlorophyll, water and temperature.Light was the independent variable. When the lant is moved to an area where light intensity is low, the rate of photosynthesis decreases.

After the experiment, oxygen gas is produced being a by-product of photosynthesis. Plants that are not adapted to an aquatic environment are not suitable for this experiment. The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in water is low.

Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike

QveST [7]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is the problem statement and alternative hypothesis is counter of the null hypothesis.

Hence, the null hypothesis here is the rate of extinction was neither higher nor lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)

And alternate hypothesis is "the rate of extinction was either higher or lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)"

Hence, option C is correct
