Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity: One of the <u>adaptations</u> of land plants are the deposits of <em>lignin and cellulose</em>. The cellular wall is composed of two phases:

-  The fibrillar phase, which is inert, rigid and constituted by long <em>cellulose</em> molecules. <em>Its function is to shape and protect the cell</em>.   

-  The matrix, constituted by pectic and hemicellulose substances.

Other substances can compose the cellular wall. One of them is the <em>lignin</em>, which is one of the most important components of the secondary wall, and after the cellulose, the most abundant polymer. During lignifications, the matrix contracts because of water loss, and the spaces left by the contraction are filled with lignin. Its function is to <em>give rigidity </em>to the cellular wall.

Competition: The meristem is composed of non-differentiated cells, with a thin wall, abundant cytoplasm, small vacuoles, and small endoplasmic reticule. Their size and shape vary: there are small isometric cells, and long, stretched, and fusiform cells. The <em>apical meristems </em>are in the roots and shoots. They compose the primary plant body. During growth the <em>meristem cells start to differentiate</em>, allowing the plant to get <em>bigger and higher</em>. In the competition for light, this is very important, especially when there are too many individuals together, like in a jungle or a forest. They need to <em>get</em> <em>higher</em> to <em>avoid being covered</em> by other plants and <em>to receive more radiation</em> for photosynthesis.  

Desiccation: Spores and pollen are covered by <em>sporodermis</em>, a membrane that covers and protects them. On the surface, there might be a pollinic cement, viscous and lipid, that favors adhesion with a pollinator. One of the principal functions of the sporodermis is to <em>protect the spore or pollen from dehydration</em>.

Radiation: Pigments are helpful filters; by their <em>absorption,</em> they <em>protect different tissues from injurious radiation</em>. When exposed to different  radiation, it is expected a change in plant pigments. This change can be related to different seasons, different stages of the plan development and different tolerance levels. Changes in pigments reflect the structural and functional reorganization of the photosynthetic system and are an indispensable part of the process of plant hardening to the changing radiation conditions.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Capillaries are the blood vessels with the smallest diameter and those closest to the surface of the skin. The blood that circulates through them is therefore closer to the outside air than the blood in the rest of our blood vessels. As the capillary dilates, a greater amount of blood is exposed to the air, which allows it to cool down and our body temperature to be maintained.

Explanation:

Blood is a solution where solutes and cells are found and that participates in homeostatic mechanisms such as the control of body temperature, helping to regulate respectively the preservation and elimination of heat. Blood vessels are the routes of the cardiovascular system, which are responsible for being a means of transport for blood with and without oxygen that reaches all tissues and returns to the heart. In very hot weather, surface thermoreceptors signal the brain that something needs to be done to dissipate heat. For this reason, a vasodilation process is activated, which allows blood to flow to the outermost layers of the skin. This promotes a heat exchange with the environment, which helps the individual to lower their body temperature. Cold causes a decrease in blood flow by reducing the size of the vessel (arteries or veins) through which blood and other substances circulate. By reducing the size of the vessel, the substances that circulate in the blood are also reduced. The heat causes an increase in the size of the blood vessels, which generates greater transport of nutrients through the blood.
