Complete question:
You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply
- The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk.
- The swing will move up. away from the ground.
- The swing will remain in its original position.
- The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Answer:
The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.
Explanation:
The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree.
Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:
- The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally
or
- The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye.
<em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>
The organelle in the plant that will most likely store the absorbed herbicide waste is the vacuole. Vacuoles act as storage bubbles in plant cells. They could store various materials such as food or nutrients to help the plant survive. It can also store waste materials to prevent them from contaminating the entire cell.
Answer:
b. thick wall.
Explanation:
Endospore is a structure formed by some bacteria, that help them survive unfavourable conditions (e.g. lack of nutrients). This survival strategy of some bacteria (usually Gram+ bacteria) help them stay dormant for a while, until stressful conditions stop. A thick wall composed of many layers (exosporium, spore coat, spore cortex, core wall) of the endospore is what provides resistance to different stressful chemical and physical factors such as UV radiation, temperature, chemical damage etc.
The type of ecological succession being described in the illustration is primary succession.
<h3>What is primary succession?</h3>
It is a form of succession that occurs when an area that has never been occupied by any living organism becomes exposed and eventually gets colonized by living organisms.
It is quite different from secondary succession which happens when an area that has been housing biotic communities before gets disrupted by a major disturbance.
A new island formed by volcanic action has never housed any biotic community before. Thus, only primary succession can occur there.

Answer:
It has a negative impact on the environment by allowing toxic chemicals to harm wildlife.
Explanation:
Mining refers to the act of extracting minerals and other valuable solids from the earth's crust. The process of mining can have adverse effect on an ecosystem in the sense that wildlife is threatened during the process.
During the mining process, chemicals, which are toxic to living organisms, from the minerals gets washed into the areas surrounding the mining site. Thereby, causing serious harm to the wildlife living in those areas.
