Plants in the rain forest have unique adaptations to help them to thrive in the climatic conditions present there. Temperatures in the rain forest are high all year round. Since tropical rain forests are located around the equator they receive direct sunlight. The leaves of the plants here are waxy to protect them from the direct sunlight. 
Rain fall is high here and it can get up to 4000 mm per year. Leaves are equipped with drip tips to allow for the easy run off of water after a down pour.
The barks of most trees are also smooth to further facilitate the movement of water to the ground. The trees in the forest grow fast and compete with each other for sunlight. The trees grow very tall and very fast so they have specialized roots called buttress roots that can support them. These roots spread out to support tall trees. 
The dense vegetation of the forest prevents much plants from growing under the canopy of the trees. A small number of plant however can survive in this low light environment. The plant that grow under the canopy have large, dark green leaves to make use of the little light that passes through.

What effect does epinephrine/norepinephrine have on the alpha receptors of the iris of the eye or the skeletal muscle vasculatur
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: When norepinephrine binds to alpha receptors of the iris of the eye, it causes contraction of the ciliary muscles of the eye which brings about pupil dilation.

Stimulation of alpha receptors of the smooth muscle vasculature results in vasoconstriction of blood vessels.

Explanation: Alpha receptors are adrenergic receptors that respond to norepinephrine. They are subdivided into two (2) types:

Alpha 1, found in smooth muscle heart, liver, pregnant uterus, male sexual organs and blood vessels, with effects including vasoconstriction, intestinal relaxation, uterine contraction and papillary dilation.

Alpha 2, found in platelets, vascular smooth muscle, nerve termini and pancreatic islets, with effects including platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction and inhibition of norepinephrine release and of insulin secretion.

a cat is blinded in one eye in a fight. when this cat later sexually reproduces with another cat, how will the blindness affect
AfilCa [17]
There will be no effect on the offspring because the blindness was the result of an injury and not related to genetics. If the parent cat was blind at birth, then depending on the cause, the blindness could *possibly* have been genetic, but that is not the case in this situation.
