1) Long slender leaves ("needles") because:
a) They don't lose a lot of water from photorespiration b/c of low surface area
b) Snow doesn't pile into the branches and break the branches off (snow is very heavy). the needles don't catch and hold very much snow.
2) The wood is soft and bendable. Strong wind doesn't break it, because it flexes. Any snow that does manage to pile on is dropped when the wind blows, or when the weight of the snow bends the Branch down.
Hope this helps! :)

What is the main difference between weather and climate?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: Option B) The length of time over which the conditions are measured

Explanation:

Weather is the atmospheric condition of a given area over a short period of time, usually days to several months

Climate, on the other hand, is the atmospheric condition of a given area over a long period of time, usually over 2 years.

Thus, weather and climate differ based on the length of time over which the conditions are measured.

in what way are heterotrophs dependent on photosynthesis by autotrophs (explain at a 6th grade level)
aleksley [76]
Hello! Autotrophs make their own food (plants) and heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (consumers.) Autotrophs use the process of photosynthesis to produce the oxygen as one of its products. Heterotrophs use the oxygen produced by the autotrophs to perform cellular respiration, which releases carbon dioxide that plants use; it's a balanced cycle. Hope this helps!

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

e. All could limit protein mobility

Explanation:

Plasma membrane proteins perform a variety of functions: they act preferentially on transport mechanisms, organizing true tunnels that allow substances to pass into and out of the cell, function as membrane receptors, among other functions. These proteins vary greatly in their mobility, some are as mobile as lipids, while others are practically immobile. But FRAP has revealed that some proteins move in cell membranes much more slowly than in reconstituted liposomes. This limited mobility can be explained by the statement in alternative "E" of the above question.
