Biology
2 answers:
viva [34]3 years ago

The correct answer is:

Plants close their stomata during times of intense heat or drought in order to prevent water loss and maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

Guard cells tend to open stomata within the day when there are lots of day and close stomata at night when the sun is not present and photosynthesis is not happening. They will also close stomata if the air is dry or hot, which minimizes water waste indoors evaporation.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. Some plants survive the intense desert heat and drought because these plants  close their stomata during times of intense heat or drought in order to prevent water loss and maintain homeostasis. Hope this answers the question.

What were the two driving forces that drove the evolution in the variation of skin color
yarga [219]

Answer:

The correct answer is: geography and UV radiation.

Explanation:

Skin variation occurred thanks to evolution, and was driven as a consequence of the geographical location of different populations of humans.

The humans that lived in hot and sunny places, closer to the equator, where much more exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation. In order to survive the amount of UV lights that they were exposed to, new humans in those regions were being born with a darker skin tone, which was rich in melanin (a brown pigment that protects us from the sun radiation).

Contrary to these humans that lived in the tropical areas, the humans that populated the areas that were closer to the poles, developed much lighter skin as a result of lower amounts of melanin in their skin. Since sun exposure in the poles is very limited, humans needed to receive as much as they could for the production of Vitamin D, and thus, their skins got lighter and less protected.
