<span>Assume: Energy = Sunlight.
grow lamps, etc.
A is definitely correct: Plants and trees that need maximum light MUST be able to grow as tall or taller than the other plants/trees around them. Plants that are more efficient at producing food (through photosynthesis) can live in the shadows of other plants. B doesnt involve getting or using energy. C is the function of food storage. The Energy was used to make the carbohydrates up in the leaves. D This should read New Leaves on the tree... If the tree was not deciduous, the leaves would stay on the tree and continue to perform photosynthesis throughout the year - as long as there was ample light. A is definitely correct and D is probably a correct answer also. FYI - Photosynthesis takes water from the plant, CO2 from the air and Energy from the Sunlight. Chloroplasts (the Green in the green leaves and stems) combine the molecules and light energy to produce 3 byproducts: O2, H2O, and Carbohydrates (mainly sugar or C12H22O11). The carbohydrates are then transported by the plants capillary system (by means of the Phloem which flows down to the roots) to the roots where it is converted as needed to be stored as some form of sugar or starch for use later in plant growth (leaves, stems and roots).</span>
The correct answer is - physically dettering herbivory, protection from frost, and minimizing evaporation.
The plants have developed multiple traits that help them in multiple different circumstances, and some of those traits are the thorns and the hairs on their steams and leaves.
The thorns primarily serve for protection of the plant. They are very sharp and give a painful sting (occasionally poisonous one), so they are a physical protection from the herbivores that would try to eat parts of the plants.
The hairs have multiple functions. They are like a coat that helps the plant to not be affected by frost, help to stop the evaporation, and also partially manage to stop most of the insects that feed on plants.
Sun the answer is the sun
The Challenger Deep is in the southern end of the Mariana Trench. It is estimated to be 305meters deep.
