Answer:

c. the cost to growth of allocating resources to defense

d. consistent fitness benefits of high allocations to defense

Explanation:

In order to ensure survival by  escape of  grazing and browsing by herbivores (and insects) plant usually adopt different defence mechanisms.This forms the basis for the optimum defence hypothesis .

The basic idea of the hypothesis is that the type   of  defence that an organism e.g plant  will adopt  against an herbivore depends on its fitness, and since this involve expenditure of energy it will be expensive for the organism to afford and maintain.

Why is this relationship between a plant and bacteria called a mutualism?
belka [17]
Mutualism is relationship that is beneficial to both organisms involved. The relationship between a plant and a bacterium called a mutualism because both of them help each other. Bacteria are involved in increasing the fertility of the soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and thus provide plant with nitrogen. In return, the bacteria make their homes in what usually become nitrogen "nodules" along plant roots. The plant gets food, the bacteria gets shelter, everybody wins.

Do you think that the frequency of echolocation sounds from bottlenose dolphins will be higher or lower than that of the blue wh
Alik [6]

Answer:

The frequency is higher in case of echolocation sounds produced by Bottlenose dolphins. It falls in the range 40,000 Hz to 130,000 Hz, while the calls made by blue whales lies in the range of 30 Hz to 8,000 Hz.

However, the blue whale calls last a lot longer than the echolocation sounds made by the dolphins. A typical blue whale call is between 10 to 30 seconds long, while the dolphin's click is only 50 to 128 microseconds long.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
