Answer:

The correct answer is Option D) "Stems grow toward a gap of light in a forest."

Explanation:

  • The phenomenon due to which plant shoot shows a tendency to move towards light is known as "Phototropism".
  • This is caused by a plant hormone called "Auxin".
  • Auxin is produced at the apical ends (both shoot tip and root tip) of the plants and it promotes cell elongation.
  • However, auxin is sensitive to light and gets degraded when exposed to light, so in the shoot tip it is produced on that side of the stem which is not exposed to light.
  • As a result of this, the side of the stem away from light elongates more (due to exposure to auxin) as compared to that which is exposed to light.
  • This causes the stem to bend towards the direction of light.
  • This is the reason for both the sunflower's diurnal movement and movement of the stem towards the light source in forest.
  • Roots grow down the soil due to the phenomenon called Geotropism. The hormone auxin is responsible for the elongation of root-tip towards gravity.
  • The phenomenon due to which vines wrap around the pole they touch is called Thigmotropism (directional movement induced by touch). The plant hormone auxin has an essential function here.
  • Water drawn from  soil by roots is used to maintain a turgor pressure (water pressure) in the leaves that keeps them erect. Absence of water results in a reduction of the turgor pressure in the leaves. This causes the leaves to wilt. Wilting of leaves reduce the surface area of the leaves that is exposed to the sunlight. This again lowers the rate of  transpiration through the stomata in absence of water thereby protecting the plant from dehydration.

mount saint helens erupted several times between may and august 1980 what lesson did the eruptions teach scientists
Elanso [62]

The eruption of Mount St. Helens provided a prospect for the scientists to examine the effects of the catastrophe. In the eruption, the losses were tragic, however, after the incident, the geologists hugely bettered their tendency to determine eruptions, by safely evacuating thousands of Filipino people prior to the eruption of Pinatubo in 1991.  

Scientists also started to learn various other valuable lessons, even some of them have defied the fundamentals of evolutionary thinking. The eruption of 1980, offered a natural laboratory for comprehending that how quickly the catastrophic procedures can reshape the globe, and how briskly wildlife can recover.

Softa [21]
Onion skin is a plant cell. And your skin cell is a animal cell.
Basically as simple all the structures in animal cell can be found in plant cells. But plant cells has some extra structure and part where doesn't exist in animal cells.
In animal cell, it contains a cytoplasm, nucleus and a cell membrane.
But in plant cell, they have chloroplast, cell wall and vacuole in additional.
