Answer:

d.)permafrost prevents penetration of deep roots

Explanation:

Many aspects of the tundra make it difficult for plants to grow to a large size, to a large extent this has to do with the characteristics of the salary, such as its low temperature and hardness. This soil is called permafrost.

Permafrost is formed when plants die and organic matter accumulates. Over time, matter compacts and freezes but never decomposes. All the remains of plants that died centuries ago accumulate and store as permafrost.

The top of the mixture of soil, gravel and other fine materials is frozen for most of the year because temperatures do not increase enough to cause defrosting. But during the hot summer, the soil can thaw to a depth of 13 feet. This gives plants the opportunity to grow. However, the growing season is short and ends once the soil freezes again.

Why is a virus considered non living
nasty-shy [4]
Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.

When we extracted our own DNA last Friday, how did the things we used (Gatorade, alcohol, soap) relate to the things that are us
user100 [1]

Answer:

Soap solution functions to dissolve the cell membranes, alcohol is used to precipitate DNA, and Gatorade is a isotonic solution.

Explanation:

In the DNA extraction protocols, the cell membranes that are formed by lipidic bilayers can be dissolved by using detergent solutions that are functionally analog to soap solution, shampoo, etc. On the other hand, alcohol enables to precipitate DNA (because DNA is not soluble in alcohol), while proteins and other cellular components remain in the extraction solution. Finally, Gatorade is a isotonic solution that may be used to prevent the cells from lysing.
