high heat capacity. Which best explains why this characteristic of water is important for marine life?
A.) It allows water to remain in its liquid form even at relatively high temperatures.
B.) It allows water to vaporize easily, powering the water cycle.
C.) It allows water to be denser, making it easy for living organisms to move through.
D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

Answer: D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

The ability of the water molecule to absorb and retain heat is called as heat capacity of water, because of this property the temperature of water remains the same for long, irrespective of the external environment. It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles because water molecules will resist change in it's temperature. This temperature regulation will prevent instant heating and cooling, hence, will provide suitable environment for the survival of marine organisms.

A plant ‘X' has needle-like waxy leaves,plant ‘Y' has spiny leaves and a well developed root system,whereas, plant ‘Z' has ribbo
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Habitats of the plants:

X : winter or cold mountainous habitat

Y : desert habitat

Z:  Aquatic habitat

Explanation:

The X plant leave morphology suggests that thick wax coating of leaf helps it to retain water in it. Such plants are called conifers. They are not shed every year so suitable for sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis. In cold regions heavy wind happens cone like leaf is able to resist the winds and prevent it from falling. The cone like structure of leaves help them let the snowfall.

The plant Y leaves and root morphology suggests that it is well suited for dry lands or desert as where less water is there. They store water for longer time when it rains because of the extensive root system. The spine leaves help in reduced transpiration as water scarcity is there.

The plant Z leaves morphology suggests that thin and ribbon structure leaves can help them resist the pressures of flowing water as there are air space in the leaves which provide buoyancy to the leaves.

How would soil fertility likely change during the early years of primary succession?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Primary succession is a method of fertilizing soil that was barren and had never supported plant life, for example soil left over by a moved glacier of lava.
The soil is first "normalized", using pioneer species such as lichens, algae and fungi.
After this, plants able to survive in less harsh conditions such as grasses.
Therefore, the fertility of soil during early years of primary succession does not increase much and it is a process that involves a long period of time.
