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.

Which molecule prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest?
AysviL [449]

Troponin-tropomyosin molecules prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest.

<h3>What is muscle contraction?</h3>

The activation of tension-producing regions within muscle cells results in muscular contraction. Because muscle tension can be created without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position, muscle contraction does not always imply muscle shortening in physiology. Muscle relaxation, or the return of the muscular fibers to their low tension-generating state, occurs after a muscle contraction has finished.

Both length and tension can be used to characterize muscle contractions. If the muscle tension varies but the muscle length doesn't, the muscle contraction is said to be isometric. A muscle contraction is isotonic, however, if the tension in the muscle remains constant during the contraction.
