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.

Which is the correct order from smallest to LARGEST?
ss7ja [257]
The answer would be B. Atom, star, galaxy, universe.

Explanation: atoms are small cells that make up everything in existence. They're too small to be seen by the naked human eye. Stars are big balls of gas that can be seen at night in the sky. These are second biggest because you can see these with the naked eye, but galaxies you can not. The galaxy holds the earth, all of the other planets, stars, and other things. If the galaxy can hold all of that then clearly it would be bigger than the stars. The universe is what holds our galaxy. There are millions of other galaxies out there in the universe. Ours is just a small one of an infinite number.

Mendel knew that the variations in the offspring generations resulted from his experiments because he
sasho [114]

Mendel was able to attribute the variation observed in the offspring of his experiment to the controlled fertilization process.

Mendel was able to control pollination and, thus, the fertilization process in the pea plants used for his experiment.

Mendel was able to effectively predict the outcome with self-pollination or cross-pollination with different results coming from each. Thus, he logically concluded that the variation observed in the offspring of his crosses is due to the fact that he controlled the fertilization process.

Simple epithelia have more layers for protection, whereas stratified epithelia allow materials to move across them and are less
xeze [42]

Answer: False.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is found in the linings of many structures throughout the body. There are two kinds of epithelial tissue: simple and stratified. And they  perform different functions and are structured differently.

The simple epithelium consists of one single layer of cells. In this way, all cells are in direct contact with the basement membrane and are separated from the connective tissue. The main function of this epithelium is <u>absorption and filtration.</u>

The stratified epithelium is composed of many layers of cells that are stacked together. In this way, this epithelium has the function of <u>protecting against physical and chemical damage.</u>
