Answer:

bedrock

Explanation:

In the soil is characterized by several layers, which are: humus is more abundant in the upper layer of the soil, known as the superficial layer. The layer below is called the subsoil, which is mainly composed of clay and sand. Below it is a frayed rock layer. And deep down is a solid rock layer called the bedrock.

Bedrock is the type of rock on which the soil rests. Through erosion and a weathering process, the parent rock enables the inorganic sector of the land to develop.

Some plants increase in height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches. The processes that

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation

Explanation:

There are several ways through which plants grow which may include the process of mitosis mainly that involves cell division. The increase in height in plants is attributed to not only cell division but also growth of the newly formed cell.

Mitosis involved division of cell and in cell growth, cells increase their size that ultimately cause growth of plant height. The highly active growth cells are meristem cells that are found at tips of the plants. They are actively dividing zones of plants and with their division and growth plant increases their heights.

Another mechanism, responsible for increase in height is cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process during which cells are specialized to perform specialized function. For example: Xylem are specialized for transport of water. Phloem are specialized for the transport of food. Similarly, some cells are specialized for growth and they are aimed at increasing in size and division that ultimately increase the plant height.

So, mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation are the mechanisms, that increase plant height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.

Explanation:

The skeleton can be divided into the axial skeleton (the skull and the vertebral column), visceral skeleton (ribs and sternum) and the appendicular skeleton (extremities).

The function of the visceral skeleton is to support and protect the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.

In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.

The pea aphid, a type of insect, contains light-capturing pigments in its exoskeleton. Pea aphids gained the ability to synthesi

EastWind [94]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Based on the information given we can not say pea aphid as an autotroph. Because pea aphid ability to produce ATP in the presence of sun is due to the light-capturing pigment that it gains from the genes transferred from fungi.

As pea aphid do not have any chloroplast and it cannot fix carbon so it is not a true autotroph. We can say it false autotroph because it can produce ATP in the presence of sunlight and can show increased production of ATP at the higher level of pigment.
