Clouds are formed when air contains as much water vapor as it can hold. This is called the saturation point, and it can be reached in two ways. First, moisture accumulates until it reaches the maximum amount the volume of air can hold. The other method reduces the temperature of the moisture filled air, which in turn lowers the amount of moisture it can contain. Saturation, therefore, is reached through evaporation and condensation, respectively. When saturation occurs, moisture becomes visible water droplets in the form of fog and clouds.

The answer is d. semi permeable nature of the membrane
Answer:
1. Roots: anchor the plant in soil and absorb water and minerals
2: Stem: Holds the plant upright and bear leaves, branches and fruits.
3. Leaves: Carry out photosynthesis to make food for other plant parts.
4. Flower: serves as organ of reproduction to maintain the continuity of the species.
Explanation:
1. Roots: The cells of roots are specialized to penetrate the soil deep to anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals for nutrition of plants.
2: Stem: The cells of stem impart mechanical strength to keep the plant upright and bear leaves, branches and fruits.
3. Leaves: Cells of leaves have chlorophyll pigment to carry out photosynthesis to make food for other plant parts.
4. Flower: Some of the cells of flowers produce male and female gametes that fuse leading to seed formation. Seed germination maintains the continuity of the species.
Answer:
Wilson has created the theory of the biogeographic nature of the island, which predicts that the number of species on the island depends on the balance between colonization, the evolution of the novel island species, and extinction.
Explanation:
A new DNA sequence containing 596 species of terrestrial birds from 41 island chains (archipelagos) around the world has been assembled by the researchers. The data combined sample data from their own field visits, research, and field samples from GeneBank colleagues. This information was utilized to build and employ a dynamic model that predicted international relationships that regulate biodiversity variation in their novel analysis approaches. In that, they confirmed two main components of MacArthur and Wilson's initial biogeography theory on the island.
The understanding of biodiversity on the island is important to conservation but also has implications beyond that – when imposing barriers to species dispersal it could enable us to assess better the effects of human activities, and it can contribute to a wider understanding of biodiversity around the globe.
