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.

To find out which ingredient the cockroaches are refusing, you can carry out a controlled experiment. hydramethylnon is dissolve
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The correct options for this question are:

<span>A) Roaches ate about the same amount from the dish with no hydramethylnon as they did from the control dish.
B) Roaches ate about the same amount from the dish with no oleic acid as they did from the control dish.
F) Roaches are refusing corn syrup.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>In this scenario (before pesticides were ever introduced to cockroaches) a certain subset of the population was genetically more likely to avoid oleic acid for whatever reason.  Traits like this float throughout populations and contribute to genetic variance.  When pesticides are introduced to the population, cockroaches with the previously neutral trait of oleic acid avoidance were now given a significant boost in regards to their relative fitness.</span>

A person dies, and within hours, the skeletal muscles develop a locked contraction known as rigor mortis. calcium ions leak from
S_A_V [24]
During when we are alive, oxygen is used to make atp, and atp  is used to break cross-brdiges when we are relaxing / contracting our muscles. when a person is dead then there is no oxygen but the body can still produce atp via anaerobic glycolysis, when the glycogen is depleted then no atp is produce so the the cross bridges can no logner be broken that is why skeletal muscles lock
