Why would a plant's cuticle be an adaptation on land?

Biology

B

Plant's cuticle is an adaptation on land that prevents the evaporation of water from the plant.

Explanation:

The cuticle is made of lipid polymers impregnated with wax. A thick cuticle  covers the epidermis of the leaves and prevents of some plants to prevent the loss of water from the leaves and plants via evaporation. This is especially a significant adaptation to desert plants that need to conserve water because they receive very little annual rainfall in their environment.

What does the 4th amendment protect against
dangina [55]

Fourth Amendment case law deals with three main issues: what government activities are "searches" and "seizures," what constitutes probable cause to conduct searches and seizures, and how violations of Fourth Amendment rights should be addressed. Early court decisions limited the amendment's scope to physical intrusion of property or persons, but with Katz v. United States (1967), the Supreme Court held that its protections extend to intrusions on the privacy of individuals as well as to physical locations. A warrant is needed for most search and seizure activities, but the Court has carved out a series of exceptions for consent searches, motor vehicle searches, evidence in plain view, exigent circumstances, border searches, and other situations.

Gnom [1K]

Population extinction is a natural occurrence, but because the pace of extinction on a global scale is increasing, understanding extinction is crucial for conservation. To evaluate proposed extinction processes, the rate of extinction in experimental populations of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) was evaluated. As was predicted, the chance of extinction was decreased by a larger initial population, a larger maximum population size supported by the environment, and less change in environmental variables. However, contrary to popular belief, maximum population size and environmental variation were more significant than initial population size. Unexpectedly, the importance of deterministic population oscillations brought on by inborn nonlinear dynamics and overcrowding was equal to or greater than that of the assumed processes.

<h3>What is extinction?</h3>

Extinction happens when species become endangered due to environmental factors such habitat loss, climate change, natural disasters, human overuse, and pollution, or because of evolutionary changes in its constituent parts.

Some organisms are made of cells. TRUE or FALSE.
marusya05 [52]
<span>Yes, all living organisms are made of at least one cell (cell theory). But, remember, viruses and prions, which cause diseases, are not technically living things, and they are NOT made of cells. Also, if asked a question similar to this on a biology test, the teacher may be trying for an answer similar to: "Organisms are made of different organ systems, which are made of various related organs, which are made of different tissues working together, which are made of cells". </span>

2. How should the rate of photosynthesis change if the amount of light reaching a leaf decreases? Why?
ELEN [110]
A higher light intensity means more packets of light called photons are hitting the leaves. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly. Even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis. Or vise versa.

Zanzabum

Answer:

egg cell

Explanation:

Gametes are an organism's reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome.
