Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.

8 0

The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) tissue.

In biology, the level of organisation from simplest to complex level can be summarized as:

Organelles → cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organisms → populations →communities → ecosystem → biosphere.

It is clear that tissue is organization level that exists between cells and organs.

When similar cells are assembled together to perform specific function, the assembly or this organization is said to be the tissue.

There can be different types of tissues such as muscle tissue, nerve tissue et cetera.

Similarly, tissues arrange themselves to carry out specific function in the form of organ.

For example, heart is made up of cardiac tissue.

Explain how the development of the cuticle and the vascular system influenced the evolution of plants on land

Black_prince [1.1K]

When plants moved on the land they had to adapt to new environment and to deal with new problems. The main problem for plants was to figure out how to regulate water loss within the cells. One of the solution was the formation of the waxy covering on top of leaves-cuticle, which evolved on the surface of leaves to reduce water loss. Another problem for plants was to figure out how to obtain resources from soil and air, so they developed vascular tissue to transport water/sugar within the plant.

Answer:

Option 3. cohesion transpiration is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plants release water through transpiration while cohesion is responsible for moving more water throughout the xylem. When the water evaporate through the stomata, more water is pulled from roots into stem and eventually reach the leaf this process is called transpiration-cohesion theory.
