Answer:
e. cutin
Explanation:
Plant exhibit many variations to withstand the temperature variations, desiccation and increased UV exposure which are some of the factors associated with land habitat. Cutin is a waxy substance that is found in the outer walls of the epidermal cells of plants. Cuticle in plants serves to make the outer most covering of aerial parts of the leaves and non-woody stem of herbaceous plants. The cuticle is made of cutin.
Cutin serves to protect the plant’s aerial surfaces from excess water loss. It also filters the excess UV light and thereby protects the underlying plant parts. The thickness of the cuticle varies in different plants depending upon the environmental conditions. The leaves of plants adapted to hot, dry climates have thick cuticles. The thickness of the cutin layer also varies in different parts of a plant. For example, the upper epidermis of leaf generally has a thicker cuticle than the shaded and relatively cooler lower epidermis.
Answer:
Explanation:
The spores of some fungi are dispersed in water or on the surface of water. The chemical composition of the wall of these spores makes them "non-wettable" so they won't sink. The spores are carried along on the surface of the water like little boats. Water in the form of raindrops can disperse spores in a different way. While gravity is not a primary means of spore dispersal, evolutionary adaptations have been required of many fungi to overcome gravitational effects for effective spore dispersal. SPORE DISPERSAL BY WIND Dispersal of fungal spores by wind is by far the most common method for terrestrial fungi.
It could be dinosaurs, or a specific species... could you be more specific with what it's related to?
