C

The hygroscopic nature of lichen also does not allow them to survive highly polluted environments. This is because they will also absorb the toxins from the atmosphere into their systems. The toxins will then affect their growth, negatively.

Explanation:

Lichen is one pioneer species in primary succession. They have undefined roots hence do not require soil and can grow on rocks and break them down slowly by chemical weathering (using excreted organic acids). More so lichen does not need to absorb nutrient via roots because the organism is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae. The algae can use photosynthesis to manufacture food while the fungi complex hyphae that surround the  algae can absorb water & nutrients from the air due to their high hygroscopic nature.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

a catalytic converter is device made up from metals like metals like palladium and rhodium to reduce the toxic gases emitted in the environment

Explanation:

Catalytic converter is an exhaust emission controlling device. It was made to reduce pollutants in air. Almost every automobile has a catalytic converter. It is present to completely remove the fuel that was not combusted and other toxic/dangerous compounds before they are let out in the environment.

If the catalytic converters are not used then the harmful compounds are released in the air and thus increasing air pollution and also decreasing the air quality for breathing in the surrounding environment.
