A group of scientists studying vegetation in a mountain range observe that a certain flowering plant grows taller at lower eleva
UkoKoshka [18]

      Well, first of all, the question asks us to to list three different factors that could lead to this variation.

       The first one is pressure, so, what happens is that, when the pressure changes with the height change, these plants develop in different ways. The second one is the oxygen, as we know, oxygen in higher elevations is less than in ocean elevation for example, so this can be a reason for this variation. The last one is the quantity of organic material on the soil, this can influence directly on the development of this population.

        With that said, we need to write a hypothesis for one of these factors, let's choose the organic material because it's easier and cheaper to test. For that, the hypothesis is that, with less organic material available on the ground, the plant will grow smaller than on a normal soil. To test that, we need to grab samples of this flowering plant and put it at the same conditions as on the mountain, that is a possibility on a good lab, so after that, we'll change the quantity of organic material on some samples, to check if my hypothesis is right or not.

        The positive results are that this is the reason why the plants grow smaller, so, with less organic material, the plants won't develop in the same way as it would happen with enough organic material. The negative results are that this is not the reason why these variations exist, so we need to test another factor to check why this variation is happening.

Which period is the stage of disease during which the patient begins to present general signs and symptoms?
ELEN [110]

Answer: Option D

Roots that enable a plant to grow on another plant are called ________.
Luden [163]

Answer:

epiphytic roots

Explanation:

Epiphytic roots are those that live on other plants without parasitism. In this relationship, the epiphyte uses the other vegetable only as a support (phorophyte), removing no nutrients and, consequently, causing no harm to the species.

Epiphyte roots are estimated to represent about 10% of the total amount of vascular plants on the planet. This means that there are on average 29,000 plant species with this peculiar habit of life. These vegetables are mainly found in tropical rainforests and have almost no representatives in places with very low temperatures.
