Answer: these are secondary metabolites

Explanation:

These secondary metabolites are chemical compounds found in some fungi, bacteria and some plants. They are not involved in true normal growth and other processor in these organisms, but they often help protect plants from herbivory and these include terpenes, alkaloids, phenols etc.

Answer: Secondary metabolites

Explanation:

Secondary metabolites are organic compounds produced by plants or fungi or bacteria which are not use for growth and development of plants or for reproduction purposes but are use as defence mechanism against attacks and for survival in their environment. They are also use as metal transporting agents and sex hormone.

Examples of the secondary metabolites are terpenes, phenolics and nitrogen containing compounds.

What r some adaptions that help animals who live in the Alpine biome survive​
neonofarm [45]

The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:

- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions

- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite

- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes

- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier

- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite

- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months

Reflecting telescopes
Telescopes that use lenses are called refracting telescopes. The other type uses mirrors to focus the light of the image. These telescopes are called reflecting telescopes. Refracting telescopes use lenses to bend the light to a specific focal point such that the object will be magnified to the viewer.

light microscope
Optical instruments are based on optics. They use mirrors and lenses to reflect and refract light and form images. The light microscope and telescope use convex lenses and mirrors to make enlarged images of very tiny or distant objects. A camera uses a convex lens to make a reduced image of an object.

Refracting telescopes use lenses to focus the light, and reflecting telescopes use mirrors. I'll talk first about refracting ones. Refracting telescopes work by using two lenses to focus the light and make it look like the object is closer to you than it really is. Both lenses are in a shape that's called 'convex'.

the reflector telescope uses a mirror to gather and focus light. All celestial objects (including those in our solar system) are so far away that all of the light rays coming from them reach the Earth as parallel rays. Because the light rays are parallel to each other, the reflector telescope's mirror has a parabolic shape. The parabolic-shaped mirror focusses the parallel lights rays to a single point. All modern research telescopes and large amateur ones are of the reflector type because of its advantages over the refractor telescope.

Advantages

Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way.
Support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very BIG!
Reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size.
Because light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.

Disadvantages

It is easy to get the optics out of alignment.
A reflector telescope's tube is open to the outside and the optics need frequent cleaning.
Often a secondary mirror is used to redirect the light into a more convenient viewing spot. The secondary mirror and its supports can produce diffraction effects: bright objects have spikes (the ``christmas star effect'').

hope this helped!
