Answer:
Mutation.
Explanation:
All adaptations begin as a genetic mutation because these adaptations passed from one generation to another generation through genes of that organisms. Organisms that are adapted to their environments and survive more better, it will produce more offspring in which that genetic characteristics are transmitted from the parents so we can say that genetic mutation is responsible for adaptations.
Answer:
Explanation:
A keystone species is the one which plays an important role in maintaining the structure of the ecosystem. On the keystone species many other species of the ecosystem are dependent upon.
The potential effects associated with the keystone species includes the following:
1. No other species will be capable of filling the same ecological niche. Hence, the dependent organisms will suffer and the ecosystem will change drastically.
2. The ecosystem will be populated by the invasive species which will affects the population of native species.
Roots and leaves
The major driving force of water uptake in a large tree is transpiration.Transpiration is the process by which plants absorb water through the roots and release it as water vapor through the pores in their leaves. Once this water evaporates, a negative water vapor pressure is created or develops in the surrounding cells of the leaf. when this happens, water is pulled into the leaf from the vascular system, the xylem, to replace the water that has been transpired from the leaf.This pulling of water, or tension, that occurs in the leaf, will extend through the rest of the xylem column of the tree right into the xylem of the roots as result of the cohesive force holding the water molecules along the sides of the xylem tubing.The xylem is a continuous water column extending from the roots to the leaves.<span>Finally, the negative water pressure that occurs even to the roots will result in an increase of water uptake from the soil.</span>
Cell membrane is made up of Lipid Bilayer which are fluid in nature , means they move continuosly , due to this fluid nature they are selectively permeable to compounds.
