The cuticle decreases water loss and stomata assist gas exchange. The plants from wet habitats must have a comparatively large number of stomata and thin cuticle. The plants existing in dry habitats must have comparatively few stomata and thick cuticle.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The answer is down below.
Explanation:
Estuaries
-More than 80 percent of all fish and shellfish species use estuaries as primary habitat or as a spawning or nursery ground.
-Estuaries are often called the “nurseries of the sea”.
-Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea. 
Abiotic factors
In an estuarine ecosystem, these factors are light, oxygen, water, nutrients, temperature, salinity, and space. So just divide these into three. 
Biotic factors
These include plants and animals such as shrimp, fish, and oysters
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Western blot should be performed
Explanation:
 Generally ELISA test is sensitive to elevated antibodies levels in the blood. Because HIV infection is characterise with increases in antibodies levels(HIV-antibodies levels)of the body, it is usually the first screening test for HIV,however it  is also sensitive to elevated antibody   from  any other infection apart from HIV. Therefore for confirmation, the procedure is to run a second ELISA test, to determine if the antibody rise was due to HIV or not. If the second test turns positive, then Western blot can be applied.
The Western blot through  secondary and primary antibodies binding , separates the  investigating antibodies, and  identity the specif HIV antibodies present  to give a positive HIV-antibody,  confirming ELISA positive test.
Thus for confirmation of HIV specific antibodies  of the blood; ELISA test followed by Western blot is  ideal
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer and Explanation:
 A null hypothesisstates that there is no significant difference between specified populations, any observed difference being due to sampling or experimental error.
In order to reject or retain a null hypothesis, compare the P-value to the alpha . If the P-value is less than (or equal to) ,the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. If the P-value is greater than , the null hypothesis is not rejected.
