slega [8]

Answer:

But what does “waxing and waning gibbous” mean? Rob says crescent is when you can see less than half of the moon illuminated. “Gibbous, you attach that to either waxing or waning when you see more than half of the moon illuminated,” he said. Waxing means it's getting bigger while waning means it's getting smaller.

Olin [163]

Answer:

Option-4

Explanation:

In the given question, S. alterniflora grows in the seaward marsh whereas  S. patensis grows in the high marsh. When  S. alterniflora is removed, the S. patensis grows to a smaller portion whereas if S. patensis is removed, the  S. alterniflora covers all the land.

This shows that although both are different species but they share a niche and the marsh land is the fundamental niche of the  S. alterniflora as it can grow in all parts and therefore its distribution is limited by only a realised niche.

Thus, Option-4 is correct.

What problem is faced by organisms that live in fresh water?
muminat

Answer:

A. Their bodies tend to take in too much water.

Explanation:

Osmoregulation is the maintenance of osmotic concentration inside the body cells and in the extracellular fluid by controlling the amount of water and salts.  Organisms living in water can be divided into two groups: Some are osmoconformers which change the osmolarity of body fluids with respect to the surrounding medium. Some are osmoregulators which do not allow change in internal osmolarity and try to maintain it by various means.

If as osmoregulator is placed in fresh water environment then their body is hypertonic to their environment. Osmosis will occur which is the movement of water from low solute to high solute concentration. Thus the problems faced by such organisms would be:

- Entry of excess water

- Loss of body salts to outside.

Adaptations in such organisms would be:

- Body cover such as scales or adipose covers

- They do not drink more water

- Excess water is eliminated as dilute urine

- Special cells called ionocytes or chloride cells help in active uptake of sodium ions and chloride ions.
