Lilit [14]2 years ago

Answer:

Archegonium

Explanation:

Mosses reproduce by alternating between the sporophytic (diploid) and gametophytic (haploid) phases. The gametes (sperm and eggs) are produced in gametophytic organs; archegonium (female) and antheridium (male) located on the tips of the separate female and male gametophytes.

The haploid sperm also called antherozoids produced by the antheridium, swims in a moist medium towards the archegonium and fertilizes the haploid egg in this organ. A zygote results from this fusion and grows into a diploid sporophyte (which grows and obtains nutrient from the gametophyte).

The sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores, which ultimately forms protonema (buds that grow into gametophyte). The cycle continues again.

inna [77]

Answer: the rabbit

Explanation:

In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:

  • the total mass of the organisms within a community
  • the average masses per unit area

Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.

The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass
