Why are the first plants to appear in primary ecological succession so small

Biology
1 answer:
Ede4ka [16]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

They are small because they are growing on bare surfaces, not even soil, so they're just growing on abiotic things like rocks, so the first plants are more like weeds, lichens, small mosses, etc... because these are the only types of plants suited to turn this habitat back into its original climax community through means like nitrogen fixation. Also, because there's probably no to little nutrients there which can cause nutrients to be a limiting factor to their growth and cause them to be stunted. Need me to elaborate more?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

C. Compaction

Explanation:

Chyme enters from the small intestine into the large intestine. In the large intestine, chyme becomes solid or semisolid as the water is absorbed from it. Absorption of excess water from chyme to convert it into the feces in the large intestine is called compaction. Feces consist of water, inorganic salts, unabsorbed digested materials, and indigestible parts of food.  During compaction, enough water is absorbed and this makes large intestine one of the important organs in maintaining the body’s water balance.

What is the name of the particle that circles the nucleus of an atom?<br>​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Electron

Explanation:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
