<h2>(B) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone  
  • Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal
  • About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone
  • There are no plants in this zone, because there is not enough light for photosynthesis
  • Octopus, squid, and the hatchet fish are some of the animals that can be found in this zone
  • Many animals in this zone have thin bodies that help them hide from predators
  • Some animals that live in this zone make their own light with bioluminescence
  • They make light with special organs in their bodies called photophores which give off a greenish light

Arrange the following in the correct sequence, from earliest to most recent, in which these plant traits originated. 1. sporophy
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Earliest- gametophyte dominance, sporophyte dependence

Middle- sporophyte dominance, gametophyte independence

Recent-  sporophyte dominance, gametophyte dependence

Explanation:

The life cycle of plant alternates between the two phases: the haploid gametophyte which produces gametes and the diploid sporophyte which produces spores.  The evolution of land plants shows how these are dependent on each other in terms of the requirement of nutrition.

In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant phase on which the sporophyte depended. Later in pteridophytes, the sporophyte became dominant which is present in the later evolved groups namely the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The gametophyte was independent on the sporophyte but in angiosperms and gymnosperms, it is dependent.

Explain why bacteria are not able to be as efficient as eukaryotic organisms
sertanlavr [38]

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
