Use you knowledge of lipids to explain why desert plants need the waxy coating on their leaves to survive?

Biology

Fats and lipids are hydrophobic which makes them water repelling compounds. Therefore, presence of a waxy coating on the outer skin of the desert plant prevents loss of water via evaporation from the skin of the plants. This helps the plant store water and increases its survival period.

Answer:

C. could not provide a mechanism for moving continents

Explanation:

Without the discovery of magnetic reversals recorded on the ocean floor, scientists  could not provide a mechanism for moving continents.

Magnetic reversals are responsible for geological shifts and depend on the distribution of tectonic plates that causes movements of continents.

Asymmetric movement of tectonic plates leads to movement of continents  and the degree of asymmetry varies with the same rythm of the magnetic reversal rate.

Hence, discovery of magnetic reversals are important to identify the mechanism for moving continents.

eduard
I think the best answer from the choices would be the first option. Icebergs float in the ocean since i<span>cebergs are composed of freshwater and freshwater is less dense then salt water. The ocean contains salts which contributes to its density which most likely would be higher with that of an iceberg.</span>
