The main reason for the difference in the mass extinction occurring today and previously is the pace of the current extinction. The extinction is taking place globally and involves hundreds of species at the same time. In less than 50 years, we have lost numerous species. In contrast to this, previously during the mass extinction, only a few species were lost, and other managed to survive. But, not the status is opposite due to the magnitude of the extinction.
<span>The hormone which is being produced under a water-deficit condition which triggers a drought response is known as Abscisic Acid or ABA.
Abscisic acid is termed as a plant hormone. The main functions in the development of plants include
1. Stomatal closure.
2. Control of organ size.
3. Bud dormancy.
It responds to environmental stresses in plants, which include heat stress, freezing tolerance, cold tolerance, soil salinity, and drought.</span>
Because water is a polar molecule, it makes an excellent solvent for polar and ionic compounds found within cells and tissues.
Answer: Viruses, although not living things, do show some characteristics that they are living. Because they can't reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA.
They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.
