Answer: long-spined cacti will survive longer and reproduce more often than short-spined cacti

Explanation:

The natural selection is the process of differential survival and reproduction which is facilitated by beneficial traits that some living beings posses over the others. These traits help these living beings to survive and reproduce. Thus the beneficial traits are passed on from generation to generation.

The long spines prevent the herbivorous eating better than the short spines. Thus the long spine cactus will survive and reproduce more than the short spined cactus.

<span>The answer is letter B.

Almost all chemical reactions in life processes occur in solutions with water. It is the most abundant molecule found in living organisms. Most mammals, in fact, are approximately 70% water by weight. About 2/3 of this water is present inside cells. The other 1/3 is present outside cells (e.g in blood plasma or other body fluids).Without water the proper transport and processes that occur with a cell will not efficiently function therefore making the organism inefficient as well. <span> </span></span>

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

d. an extensive surface area well suited for invasive growth and absorptive nutrition.

Explanation:

Fungi have an extracellular nutrition. These means enzymes are released to environment to start degrading macromolecules which can be later be absorbed (absorptive nutrition) through cell membranes. Having multiple spots (bigger surface area) through which it can nurture speeds up the rate at which it can grow leading to a faster growth and higher competition over resources.
