Answer:

Reduces heat lost to the water

Explanation:

In some birds such as the geese, to reduce the amount of energy cost when regulation their temperature, some morphological and behavioural has been used to maintain the rate of heat gain and loss. For uninsulated parts of the birds's body such as the legs, there is the presence to countercurrent head exchange between wherein the arteries and veins in the legs lie in close contact with each other in other to retain heat as these uninstalled regions are potential areas of heat loss since they are uninsulated unlike insulated parts (parts covered with feathers). Constriction of the arteries and veins will ensure blood flow to the feet of the geese at a low temperature.

Which of the following tissues, cells, or structures in flowering plants is a part of the sporophyte generation and therefore di
jeka94

Answer:

Cell of and integument

Explanation:

When flowering plants reproduce by sexual reproduction, they form seeds contained into fruits. The fruit is derived from the maturation of the flower's ovary (female part) after fertilization.

A mature seed contains three generations:

  1. a diploid embryo (the new sporophyte),
  2. The embryo is surrounded by haploid female gametophyte tissue that supplies nutrition
  3. All the above structure is in turn surrounded by the seed coat (diploid parental sporophyte tissue). The seed coat is produced by integument cells to protect the embryo during its development and before its can germinate. As it is produce by it parental plant, its ploidy level diploid.

In contrast, the generative nucleus and sperm cell are part of male gametophyte (pollen grain) and therefore haploids. Synergid cell is part of embryo sac, therefore belongs to female gametophyte and thus being haploid. Finally, cell of endosperm is usually derived from the fusion between a sperm cell and one of the two female gametes present within the embryo sac, thus being triploid.
