Why do mosses grow well in the Arctic tundra?

Biology
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]2 years ago
7 0

Te correct answer is that they do not have true roots.

The soil in the tundra is frozen to the surface most of the year and only the surface layer thaws in summer. The depth of the thaw will determine how far the roots of the plants will be able to deepen. That is why there are no trees in the tundra, since their roots cannot develop. Therefore, the mosses find their niche in these areas, since they do not have true roots, but rhizoids whose main function is the fixation to the substrate, and do not need more than a few millimeters deep for it. It is important to clarify that the vegetation in the tundra is of low height, squatted, since not only must they withstand low temperatures, but they must withstand strong blizzards. Mosses and lichens predominate in these areas.

What are the reasons for the several day delay in a primary response. Infection______. A. transport to secondary lymphoid tissue
Liula [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.

Explanation:

Primary immune response occurs due to the first exposure of an antigen to the immune system. The primary immune response is generally delayed by many days because it takes time for B and T cells to become cloned and to proliferate and differentiate.

Then after several days of proliferation and differentiation of activated T and B cells, T cells become effector T cells and B cell becomes plasma cells which then eliminates the antigen. Memory B and T cells are also produced during this process which helps in generating a quick immune response during the second and subsequent exposure of that antigen.

So the correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.

Why we need to monitor and effectively manage earth's resources
stiv31 [10]
Because it's vital to the survival of all species, not just human, that we have resources such as food and water. Also that those resources be clean and healthy. We also need to manage resources such as oil to make sure there are fewer wars like the ones happening in the Middle East. If you need anything else just message me.
