Pollination cycles do not really have any direct effect with the soil. Releasing moisture from leaves does replenish some water needed in the soil that is cycled back through the transport systems of plants but does not hold back soil. Photosynthetic activities only draw up nutrients, minerals, and water from the soil through roots.

Therefore, the often elaborate ROOT SYSTEMS are the answer. This is because the roots hold the plants in the ground (soil) and by this, the plants prevent natural disasters, artificial actions, and/or excess water to wash away soil. The roots help to reinforce the soil and hold it together.

The answer is: 'constrict the blood vessels in their large ears to reduce transfer of external heat to the blood in their ears.' This is an example of thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the ability of the<span> </span>body to keep body temperature<span> within certain boundaries, even when the temperature of the surrounding environment is very different. The regulation of temperature by thermoregulating organisms is one aspect of </span>homeostasis. By using heat exchange systems, such as employed in this example, the animal will need to expend less energy on behavioural adaptations to maintain a constant body temperature.

Option (c);

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • These might be first ejected into space during a collision of an asteroidal object with Moon or Mars and then it got into the Earth orbit because of the force produced during the collision.
  • There are around seventy meteorites recognised to have come from the planet Mars till up to the present date.
  • There are three types of meteorites such as Martian meteorites and a sample of two lunar meteorites.
  • To identify the origin of the meteorite, the scientist tries to identify the type of rock followed by analysing the chemical composition and then try to identify its age.
