Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

Which organic molecule is correctly paired with an end product of its break down via hydrolysis?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

protein - amino acid

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the four major biomolecules in nature. Proteins are polymers of monomeric units called AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are joined together by a type of covalent bond called PEPTIDE BOND to form proteins. Hence, since proteins are made up of amino acids, the hydrolysis of proteins will result in amino acids.

Hydrolysis is the breaking down of a large polymer into its monomeric unit with the release of water (H2O) molecule as a product. The bonds that forms between the respective amino acids are broken, hence, releasing the amino acids.

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!
