They would dehydrate too rapidly and die. Plants (well, plants with true vascular systems) need to have water to dehydrate from the leaves to help draw the water up from the soil. This is transpiration, but without the waxy cuticle this would occur at an excessive rate, killing the plant.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is myofibrils

Explanation:

The fundamental part of the muscle cytoskeleton is made up of myofibrils that are the contractile elements of skeletal muscle cells.Muscle fibers are made up of myofibrils, membranes, and cytoskeletal networks that anchor contractile fibrils to the sarcolemma. Myofibrils are composed of repeating contractile units known as sarcomeres and are perhaps the most ordered macromolecular structures in eukaryotic cells. Myofibrils are made up of actin and myosin filaments that are large polymerized protein molecules responsible for actual muscle contraction.

How do food webs show the flow of energy?
stepladder [879]
Food webs normally start at the bottom and work their way up. Like the plants will be at the bottom, and then each level shows the animals getting bigger while losing energy. You continually lose energy as you work your way up an ecosystem, so normally there are only three or four levels. I hope this helps!
