Answer:
immature ovulate
Explanation:
An ovulate cone will become a mature gymnosperm cone after all of the ovules mature into seeds.
Endocrine gland - a group of cells that secretes substances into the blood or directly into an organ.
Differ from exocrine glands, endocrine glands have no ducts and secrete products (hormones) directly into blood.
Hormone - a substance produced by cells that helps specific groups of cells to perform specific functions. It is a product of endocrine gland which functions as chemical messengers to stimulate other cells.
Duct – a channel or tube that conveys a substance. It is part of the exocrine glands (such as salivary glands) which makes contact with surface .
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Net Primary Productivity is a term that is used to express the difference between CO2 that is taken in by the plant with photosynthesis minus CO2 that the plant releases.
The two forest sites given in the example may not have the same biodiversity and the same species of plants so we can't be sure of option B.
Again for the same reasons, we can't be sure of option D because we do not know the specific plant species in each forest since they are in different areas.
Option A can be ruled out for the same reasons, the lack of information about the forest sites, since we do not know the death rate of the plants in either of the forests.
Option C can be true because forest A has a higher net primary productivity rate which can be an indication of lower respiratory activity hence lower CO2 production, resulting in the given higher net primary productivity.
I hope this answer helps.
