Answer:

a mycorrhiza

Explanation:

Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations that occur between fungi and the roots of most vascular plants, which are those that have sap-carrying vessels.

Fungi increase the nutrient absorption capacity of plants while providing sugars and amino acids essential for the existence of fungi. That is, both (fungi and plants) are mutually beneficial. This is because fungi nourish plants and they, in turn, during photosynthesis produce carbohydrates that are assimilated by the fungi.

Mycorrhizae absorb nutrients from the soil and transmit them to plants. In this way, plants absorb water and mineral salts more easily and are therefore able to develop better and resist disease as well as climate change.

Answer: The diagrams above show an area that was once a pasture that has since undergone changes to the vegetation over time.

The following changes in the hydrologic cycle is most likely to occur as a result of the change in vegetation in the area:

Decreased precipitation.

Explanation:

When we lose vegetation in an area we face serious problems, one of them is the decreased precipitation . If changes are made by man, for example, as in deforestation, the consequences are even worse.

Deforestation can cause a serious reduction of rainfall in the tropics, with serious consequences for the population not only in that region but in neighboring areas. The air that passes over large areas of tropical forest produces at least twice as much rain as that which travels over areas of low vegetation .

In turn this also affects the other factors of the cycle. The vegetation contributes moisture through an evapotranspiration process, as it is called the evaporation of the rivers together with the transpiration of the plants. This moisture is transported by the winds.

We can say then that the loss of vegetation in an area (whether on purpose or not) will corrupt several cycle factors, mainly damaging the rainfall rate.

The correct answer is C. It continues to eat the amount of food it does normally.

When rat's ventromedial nucleus is destroyed the rat will become more hyper physics and it continues to eat until it has doubled its normal weight.

Ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus is termed as nucleus of hypothalamus.

It is a distinct morphological nucleus which involved in terminating hunger, fear, sexual activity and thermoregulation.

Ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus is divided into subdivisions. For example, dorsomedial, ventrolateral, central and anterior. VMN is most commonly associated with satiety. In rats ventromedial nucleus is caused by over-eating and obesity.
