They have shallow, wide roots:
To cover as much ground as possible, so the plant can absorb a sufficient amount of water before it freezes, and because the permafrost prevents the plants roots from going further down into the ground.  <span />

You have a friend who became stranded in a blizzard without food for
Naya [18.7K]

The fat didn't really leave his body. Fat was converted to glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathway to give him energy during the period of starvation.

Fat is stored in the body in the adipose tissue. Fat plays so many roles in the body such as;

  • Protection of vital organs
  • Insulating the body from cold
  • Serving as an energy store

In times of starvation, fact could also be broken down to release energy. This occurs when fat is broken down to glycerol and fatty acids. When this occurs, glycerol goes to the liver where it is converted to glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathway. This helps to produce energy in times of starvation thereby depleting the body's fat reserve.

As this process occurs, the fat reserve in my friend's body kept going down resulting in his loss of about 15  Ibs of weight.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''They are all vascular plants''.

Explanation:

Vascular plants or tracheophytes are those organisms of a more evolved plant nature, they are those that have leaves, stem and roots and that have a vascular system formed by conducting vessels. Ferns are pteridophytic vascular plants, they do not produce flowers or seeds and are mostly herbaceous. All those vascular plants that have seeds but do not have flowers are called gymnosperms. The seeds are not covered or protected by an ovary, so they appear visible on the leaves or other parts of the plant. Angiosperms are plants with flowers, whose seeds develop within the ovary, which grows and becomes fruit.
