What do studies show about temperature tolerance of intertidal animals

Biology
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The intertidal zone is a region of extreme conditions and the organisms should have special mechanisms to cope up with the extreme conditions. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Low tides expose an intertidal zone to air while high tides cover the intertidal zone with ocean water. When exposed to air the intertidal region is <em>directly exposed to the sun and there will be high temperature. </em>

Thus the animals have to cope up with the extreme heat and also have to face colder environment when under the sea.  <em>Since there is change in salinity the organisms have to handle this as well.</em>

Some animals with shells close their shell tightly to seal moisture. Animals like <em>snails and crabs have thick outer covering to prevent water loss by evaporation. </em>

Organisms like leaf barnacles cluster together to avoid individual exposure. <em>Animals like sea stars cling to the rocks to avoid being washed away by the waves. </em>

Write an essay how water moves from the soil to leaves of a mesophyte
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes by osmosis and xylem conduction.

<h3>What are mesophytes?</h3>

Mesophytes are plants that are adapted to moderate water environments only. In other words, they cannot survive extremely or extremely wet environments.

Water moves from the soil to the leaves of mesophytes as follows:

1. Water moves into the root hair by osmosis

2. Water is conducted upward from the root hairs by special cells known as xylems.

3. Conducted water reaches various plant parts, including leaves.

The ESA only protects the actual species listed for protection and does not include their habitat. True False
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

This trend suggests that although the ESA does effectively protect habitat, it doesn't protect all parts of a species' range equally. Rather, the Endangered Species Act provides unique and more effective protection for habitat that happens to be on federal land.
