That statement is true

Due to extreme amount of heat, the rain water that falls on the dessert will quickly be evaporated. To collect more of it, usually the roots of the dessert plants are really close to the surface

If the plants are close to each other, they simply won't be able to collect any water, so they spread evenly throughout the dessert

The correct answer is - True.


Desert plants are widely spaced because of the lack of water in the deserts. They are highly adapted to manage to get every drop of water, be it through their roots or through their leafs or thorns. They have very big root systems, that are both very deep and very big in diameter, so it is practically impossible for them to be next to each other because their root systems are so big and also the lack of water and nutrients, if they are next to each other they will not be able to survive because while competing with each other none of the plants will be able to satisfy its needs.

Members of which phylum establish a successful symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Glomeromycota

Explanation:

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are characterized by the formation of unique structures, arbuscles, coils and vesicles of fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota. They are a type of endomicorrhiza in which the fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.

In this symbiotic association, the fungus helps the plant to capture nutrients such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and soil micronutrients. It is believed that the development of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizae played a crucial role in the initial colonization of the earth by plants and in the evolution of vascular plants.

This symbiosis is a highly evolved mutualistic relationship found between fungi and plants.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Parasitism describes a relationship between two organisms where one gets benefit and other get harm.

Explanation:

Parasitism is a type of symbiotic association that is present between two different organisms. In association, one organism gets benefit from the other and the other is damaged. For example, association between mosquitoes and human is parasitism because mosquitoes get benefit in the form of food while human is damaged due to disease cause by mosquito biting.

Which of the statements regarding the cell cycle is true? Group of answer choices It is regulated by cyclins and CDKs. Different
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Cell cycle is the process of growth and division of cell. It comprises of interphase and mitosis. In interphase the cell grows, replicates its genomic content and prepares itself for division. In mitosis the division occurs.

Cell cycle is controlled by a group of kinases called as Cyclin dependent Kinases (CDKs). They act by phosphorylating their substrates. They are of various types like Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk4 etc. They become active when they bind to a regulatory protein called cyclin. They are also of various types like Cyclin A, Cyclin B, Cyclin C etc. Level of cyclin and corresponding CDK increases and decreases according to the stage of cell cycle. For example in S phase of cell cycle concentration of cyclin A and E shoots up. CDK2 is able to bind to these cyclin molecules and hence it becomes active.

Cell cycle has major checkpoints where the condition of cell is analysed before it proceeds to the next stage of cycle. If any abnormality is detected, repair mechanism is activated or the cell is killed. Checkpoints do not allow cell cycle to proceed in damaged cells.

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which can halt cell cycle when it detects some abnormality in cell. It usually acts in G1/S checkpoint (before the DNA replication starts in cell) and G2/M checkpoint (before the cell division begins). Hence, all of the above statements are true.
