Complete Question:
The carrying capacity of the environment for a species is determined by:
options:
(a) the reproductive rate of the organism.
(b) the number of organisms of that species.
(c) the state and national wildlife laws pertaining to that species.
(d) the age distribution of that species.
(e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Answer: (e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Explanation: The carrying capacity refers to the highest number of the species that the environment can cater for, in terms of food, space and other necessities that supports life.
Thus, the available of renewable resources (i.e resources that can be reused after consumption e.g water) in the environment, plays as a determinant of the highest number of individuals an environment can support (carrying capacity).
Furthermore, environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism, is also a determinant of the carrying capacity of organisms inhabiting that particular environment.
Answer:
The correct answer will be- phloem transports photsynthetic products to the roots
Explanation:
Phloem is the vascular tissue which specializes in transporting the solute molecules like sugar in the form of sucrose to in the plants.
The phloem connects the photosynthetic organ (Leaves) to non-photosynthetic organs (stem and roots) of the plants by transporting the photosynthates or sucrose to various parts.
Since the roots also need the energy to perform metabolic functions so need the photosynthates to synthesize the energy molecule. They receive the photosynthates from the phloem.
Thus, phloem transports photosynthetic products to the roots is the correct answer.
- they are both found in the same place
- they are both passed down to newer generations
- both of them can determine your traits
