The passage indicates that compared with other functions of coloration in plants, camouflage in plants has A) provided scientist
stiks02 [169]

Question passage: This PASSAGE is adapted from “Rare Woodland Plant Uses‘Cryptic Coloration’ to Hide from Predators.” ©2009 byAmerican Journal of Botany, Inc.It is well known that some animal species usecamouflage to hide from predators. Individuals thatare able to blend in to their surroundings and avoidbeing eaten are able to survive longer, reproduce, andthus increase their fitness (pass along their genes tothe next generation) compared to those who standout more. This may seem like a good strategy, andfairly common in the animal kingdom, but who everheard of a plant doing the same thing?In plants, the use of coloration or pigmentation asa vital component of acquiring food (e.g.,photosynthesis) or as a means of attractingpollinators (e.g., flowers) has been well studied.However, variation in pigmentation as a means ofescaping predation has received little attention.Matthew Klooster from Harvard University andcolleagues empirically investigated whether the driedbracts (specialized leaves) on a rare woodland plant,Monotropsis odorata, might serve a similar purposeas the stripes on a tiger or the grey coloration of thewings of the peppered moth: namely, to hide.

The PASSAGE indicates that compared with other functions of coloration in plants, camouflage in plants has A) provided scientists with a deeper understanding of potential food sources. B) made use of a wider variety of distinctive shades of colors. C) proved to be a less effective defense against predators. D) been the subject of a smaller number of scientific investigations.

Answer: The correct option is C(proved to be a less effective defense against predators).

Explanation:

Adaptation is a means by which plants or animals modify their forms, structures, functions and behaviour in order to escape being harmed and survive in their environment. The special adaptations of organisms in a habitat enables them to live there successfully and reproduce. There are 3 types of adaptation which include:

--> structural adaptation,

--> adaptive coloration and

--> behavioural adaptations.

From the passage, the plant under study shows ADAPTIVE COLOURATION. Colour and colour pattern plays an important role in adaptations of plants. These occur due to the presence of pigments in cells of plants. Common pigments responsible for coloration in plants are:

--> chlorophyll: this gives green colour to plants that has chloroplasts in their cells.

--> Carotene and xanthophyll: this gives yellow to orange colour to plants that has chromoplasts in their cells.

From the passage, the use of coloration or pigmentation in the plant as a vital component of acquiring food (e.g.,photosynthesis) or as a means of attracting pollinators (e.g., flowers) has been well studied but it's use to escape from predation has received little attention. Therefore camouflage in plants has proved to be a less effective defense against predators.

The following table shows some characteristics of an eclipse which was observed from a certain location on Earth.
Aloiza [94]
Part 1: The eclipse observed was a lunar eclipse. The sun is usually not visible during these eclipses. The moon is new during a solar, but full during a lunar. It is red during a lunar eclipse due to a reflection of the Suns light behind earth. It happens more often because Earths shadow is larger than the moons. The umbra is larger as well, so it lasts longer than a solar eclipse.

Part 2: The moon is in the full moon phase. The Earth is in between the Moon and the Sun. The umbra of Earths shadow is cast directly on the moon, casting out the suns light. A tint of the reddish color shines around earth from the Sun making the dark moon appear red. The moons axis is slightly tilted , so the umbra does not hit the moon every month. But when it does? It creates a lunar eclipse.

¿Qué caracteriza el magma de los volcanes?
Sati [7]

Answer:

El magma es una roca líquida y semilíquida extremadamente caliente ubicada debajo de la superficie de la Tierra. Este magma puede atravesar agujeros o grietas en la corteza, provocando una erupción volcánica. Cuando el magma fluye o entra en erupción en la superficie de la Tierra, se llama lava. Como la roca sólida, el magma es una mezcla de minerales.
