<h2>Energy allocation in penguin</h2>

Explanation:

  • Although penguins don't grow from year to year, they increase and decrease in size as they repeatedly form and use energy stores,a significant amount of energy might be stored in fat during part of the year but be missing from the pie chart because it is used later in the year  
  • Allocation of limited endogenous resources causes trade-offs between competing traits, such as reproduction, somatic growth and maintenance
  • During food deprivation, animals cannot maximize all of their life-history traits and must exhibit adaptive behavioral, physiological and biochemical responses to reduce metabolism and/or the cost of current activities in order to maintain biological value

How do the roots and stem take part in the transport of water in a plant?
jekas [21]

Answer:

The answer is Below!!

Explanation:

Osmosis in roots leads to water moving into root hair cells. Once water moves into the root hair cells, it can travel throughout the plant. Water first makes its way to the root cortex and passes through the endodermis. Once there, it can access the xylem tubes and allow for water transportation in plants.

A "sustainable" rate of soil loss means <em>"the rate at which soil is lost from a surface is not higher than the local rate at which soil is formed at an area."</em>

We can determine whether a given farm was practicing a sustainable use of soil or not by merely measuring the amount of topsoil at the given farm.
