ANSWER: The presence of cork cambium depicts that the plant has undergone secondary growth.

EXPLANATION: Cork cambium is also referred to as is also known as Phellogen (a meristematic cell layer). It is found in vascular plants and located in the peridermis.

However, presence of cork cambium indicates that the plant has undergone secondary growth, which is elicited as a result of cell division in the cambia or lateral meristems, which in turn causes the stem and root to thicken.

BRAINLIEST/5 STARS/THANKS/PLEASE HELP ME + I WILL HELP YOU!!!
ycow [4]

Explanation:

  • Turtles are excellent divers, but from time to time they must go back to the surface to breathe. As turtles have a carapace, they can not extend and contract the ribs to breathe. Instead, they use their fin muscles and swimming movement to bomb air from inside to outside of the lungs. Many turtles species can not dive in deeps because their carapace is so hard that it might crush as they are diving because of water pressure. But some other species are adapted to deep-diving. These marine turtles keep huge amounts of oxygen in their muscles and blood instead of keeping them in the lungs. They can dive for a very long time in the deep, most of the time foraging, escaping from predators or to regulate their body temperature. These species can handle the pressure because their carapace is not that hard, so it allows the body to compress and not to be crushed by water pressure.

  • Most aquatic snakes are known to dive near the surface, where water is warmer and helps them to regulate their body temperature. But some other species are adapted to dive up to 250 meters deep where they can forage over a wider amount of prey. Independently of how deep they can swim, all of these aquatic animals must go back to the surface for gas exchanging. They can hold the breath for 5 or 6 hours, but after that period they must breathe. Some marine snakes are adapted to deep diving: their bodies are very laterally comprised and they can face the breathing problem through skin gas exchanging. Although they have developed these adaptations, at some point they must breathe.

  • Water Lilies need light and warm water to grow. They grow fast and colonize illuminated places, in warm and shallow water. The deeper the plant is located, the slower it will grow. These plants can not live in waters over five feet deep, because deep water is cold and poorly lighted, and tubers and rhizomes take a long time to establish in these places.

  • Mangrove trees have roots called pneumatophores that allow them to take oxygen from the air and produce gas exchange.  They can resist a periodic submersion but they need to drain. If these roots are constantly underwater they can not accomplish their respiratory function and the tree eventually dies. These species have different strategies to deal with salt, one of excreting it by their leaves. If leaves are underwater, they are not able to do this, increasing salt levels in their system.

Dolphin fins and shark fins: _________
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

a. are probably built by different genes.

Explanation:

Although sharks and dolphins are aquatic animals belonging to the vertebrate group, sharks are fish while dolphins are mammals. Sharks belong to the class Chondrichthyes which are fish that have a cartilaginous skeleton. On the other hand, dolphins are mammals (class Mammalia) which are animals mainly characterized by the presence of mammary glands. In consequence, both species are not closely phylogenetically linked, thereby those genes involved in the development of the integumentary system (skin) in both species are expected to be different.

Si la pared celular en una célula vegetal proporciona rigidez. Crees que una célula animal podría desarrollar está característic
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

La pared de la célula vegetal, es un recurso evolutivo para adaptarse y sobrevivir al medio, la célula animal no requiere la presencia de pared por eso sus características son diferentes debido a sus necesidades, no creo que la desarrolle, puesto que tener pared no la va a hacer avanzar o evolucionar para perfeccionar la especie, actualmente la célula animal contiene una membrana que le permite realizar proceso con mayor facilidad, como la consecución de nutrientes, procesos de excreción, reproducción y movilidad, dentro de un organismo como el hombre sería inviable este mecanismo, sin embargo hay especies que se han adaptado y tienen paredes en su superficie como el caso de las algas y las bacterias, teniendo en cuenta estos seres como ejemplo se sabe que una de las ventajas de tener pared es la resistencia a lesiones como las provocadas por antibióticos, soportan fuerzas osmoticas e intervienen en el crecimiento, convirtiéndose en una armadura para el resto del organismo, de este modo sería como beneficiaría a la célula animal.
