Answer: Hydrophobic substance

Explanation:

The coffee is a brown color powder that has a bitter taste. It is a member of the purine derivative methylated xanthines. It is a principle source of caffeine. After digestion, of caffeine in the body it get rapidly absorbed in the blood stream.

The coffee is a moderately soluble substance thus some components remain hydrophobic when dissolve in water or milk. These components form a layer over the surface of the fluid.

Which form of natural selection does the graph represent? A graph has trait value on the horizontal axis and proportion of indiv
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is the most common type of natural selection and occurs when some individuals with characteristics favorable to the conditions of the environment in which they live, have survival advantages over individuals who do not have this advantage, who end up dying.

Imagine, for example, a graph showing the directional selection in the same species of moths. Moths of the same species have white and brown collations, in summer, brown moths can camouflage themselves on tree trunks, while white moths cannot and are easily captured by their predators, which means that the amount of white moths decrease.  In this graph, the population of white moths would be at a minimum, at the same time that the population of brown moths would be at maximum.

However, with the arrival of the reverse, snow begins to cover the trees, allowing white moths to camouflage themselves more easily. The brown moths, then, are very exposed to predators, causing their population to reach the minimum while the population of white moths reaches the maximum.

Which two examples show adaptations for plants growing in the desert?
aleksklad [387]

there is no clear evidence about plants evolving in the desert, or fossils of any kind of cactus despite their distribution over a large area. But, scientists are of the opinion that they acquired specific attributes millions of years ago, as a response to the vastly changing climate and conditions.

-Desert plant root system

A typical desert plant has a deep root system, which is a specific physical mechanism. As the roots grow deep down the soil, they absorb soil water, which is then transported to the upper portions of the plant.

-Desert plant leaves

Bear small foliage with waxy surface to minimize transpiration (loss of water through stomatal pores), which in turn, helps to conserve water.
