Answer: e.All of the above are plausible. It is impossible to predict.
Explanation:
The long tongue of moth Xanthopan morgani is able to derive the nectar from the orchid. If through many generations the nectaries become shorter the moth may not be able to derive the nectar this may facilitate the other insect species to derive the nectar and pollination.
If more insect species will able to use the orchid for nectar then obviously the orchid is more likely to reproduce due to pollination. The nectaries may get even shorter that the nectar will readily available to the other species of insects. This may also interrupt the pollination of other species of orchids as Madagascar orchid is a source of nectar which will attract many pollinators also those were specific to the other orchid species.
All conditions are plausible. But several generations of evolution of the Madagascar orchid is required to be observed to predict the association of insects with the orchid.
You would need to have exothermic
Exothermic is when heat is being released
Hope this helps
the answer A, steroids ; separate the cytoplasm from the environment
<u>Answer</u>: The answers are matched as follows:
African forests have been hunted to near extinction levels to obtain ivory-------------->human exploitation
The eruption of mount Saint Helens destroyed some populations of conifers------> natural disasters
An infection with a fungus reduced the population of North American Elm trees ----> disease
Increasing global temperatures have altered migration patterns of humpback whales ------>climate change
<u>Explanation</u>:
- <em>Human</em> <em>exploitation</em> is the unethical or selfish use of resources to satisfy their own personal needs or for any profitable activity which harms the resources in such a way that they get limited. Humans have been hunting elephants to obtain ivory for many purposes such as making jewellery etc. and earning profits from it. Due to such extensive hunting they have driven the elephants to a level of extinction and thus, this is a form of human exploitation.
- Mount Saint Helens is a volcano and its eruption which harms the population of the trees in the area is a form of natural disaster since volcanic eruption is a <em>natural</em> <em>phenomena</em>.
- Fungal infection is a <em>disease</em> which is cause by the microorganisms which harms the population of the Elm trees.
- Increase of global temperature is a type of climate <em>change</em> and thus, this effect of alteration of migration pattern is caused by climate change.
